That’s what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka “a Chrome browser that only opens a single website”

IDK, my Steam client starts right away pretty much and my computer is not very fast or new.
It’s probably running in the background. You have to be very forceful if you don’t want it doing that
Whatever happened with the hardware acceleration on Linux? I swear I read they made it fully work on Linux with the new interface but it still seems choppy, maybe even more than before

You know those ad banners you get on mobile? What do you think they run on
Ad… banners? I haven’t seen an ad on my phone in years.
My phone, duh.
Ad banners? I haven’t seen one since forever. I have no idea what you are even talking about.
No idea what you’re talking about
That’s probably mostly Flutter, which is slightly different scope, though still Google
Nah most ad networks run full browsers
Silicon and gold
Giga chads use heroic launcher instead ;)
Now also supports Amazon Games. Get it while it’s hot.
what the hell is amazon games
I had a chuckle at this because I know Amazon has a game division but for the life of me I can’t think of a single game they have.
Not going to trade Valve for Amazon. Valve contributes so much to the Linux ecosystem
What do you mean? I certainly won’t be using Amazon gaming services for anything.
new world I think? The mmo that was supposed to kill [insert mmo] but then was kinda bad
Speaking of killing. Didn’t it end up killing a bunch of graphics cards?
Apparently it was debunked but it sounds very funny to me so I’ll take it as fact and purposefully spread misinformation
Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I’ve ever seen.
nvme doesn’t have to be m.2 right? I swear I’ve seen 2.5" nvme drives.
Correct
Maybe it’s a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?
Certainly could be
Maybe it’s 2x1TB in a casing
Maybe it’s just one, and the casing works as cooler
The size of Warzone 2 makes it physically inflate.
Looks like an icydock sled
Epic Games: Not even once.
But all the free games
Are they really free when the price is your soul!?
Real question: how? What does epic games do? Is it privacy stuff? I’m out of the loop. I just get free games and gave a disposable email.
Their launcher is literal spyware.
Huh, didn’t know it was available for windows.
Also I resent it being called “native” when it’s made with electron
Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.
Everyone gets it wrong with the RAM 🤦.
How so?
I do note it is a weird ratio of CPU cores to memory in this meme 🧐
That was my point. 32 cores with 32GB of RAM should be a crime.
The real crime is not having 32TB drive to go with it.
I don’t think they make 32TB drives… do they 🤔?
maybe they’re running a weird dual socket opteron setup
wdym?
There’s way too little RAM for that amount of cores.
*ammmount
Yeah, auto correct doesn’t work with Jerboa 🤷.
It’s working for me right now … but I’ve also noticed that sometimes, it doesn’t.
Nope, not working at all. Works in almost every other app, but not Jerboa… or any of the other apps for Lemmy. I use Gboard BTW. Apparently, SwiftKey works, but I tried it and it doesn’t have any options regarding auto-correct or suggestions, so it’s not a viable option for me.
it’s just a stupid meme bro
They also didn’t mention the clock speed so probably put no consideration into that either.
Side note: Open up task manager and make sure the RAM clock speed matches the one advertised on the box. If not you may have to override in the BIOS. May cause crashing and if so just lower it a setting at a time until it’s stable, it won’t damage your computer.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I work in IT 😂.
I imagined as much, was meant to be a PSA since a surprising number of people who pay extra for high-speed RAM have no idea to even check if it’s running full speed.
Yeah, to be honest, that is true. My colleagues don’t check that either and cosider themselves experts 😒… that’s OK, I just avoid conversations with them cuz they get lost when we do make converstaion… and then the conversation dies down anyway.
I know this is a meme but is it really that slow? Tried it like a years ago and I remember it being pretty slow for me.
Is heroic games launcher a faster, lightweight, feature-rich alternative?
I’ve never noticed it being slow. Steam takes longer to launch for me and constantly wants to run in the background and download updates.
I don’t like either one tbh. Launchers are silly to me.
Heroic is definitely faster. Though it’s buggy at times
Miss me with that DRM shit platform
Again with that bullshit?
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Epic_Games_Store
As if Steam doesn’t sell games with DRM… Oh wait, they make their own DRM!
Easy fix! Simply do not open the epic games launcher ever again (and uninstall it while you’re at it)

What is ‘Epic Games Launcher’
You are going to feel stupid when I tell you, but it’s the “Launcher” for “Epic Games”.
I don’t game, but I installed it once to play around with Unreal Engine once. The meme is quite accurate.
Back in my day we just double-clicked on executables or shortcuts to executables. I hate launcher bullshit that solves exactly zero problems with computing. Seen it pop up in non-game applications too.
I hate launcher bullshit that solves exactly zero problems with computing.
It doesn’t matter when you have like 5 games, but when you start to get into the hundreds… A launcher that can filter, group, hide, etc games is nice.
Isn’t it the thing that gives out free games that you never play, every now and then?
What’s the OP? Why has credit been removed?
Same thing I’ve seen past 60 days with Lemmy. The major sites throwing massive hardware. “Wow, Lemmy now deletes a single post in 7 seconds”.
Legendary, my beloved.
I just use Playnite as the frontend for everything and Epic loads a lot faster when the actual client doesn’t need to fully kick up. Same for Steam, Ubisoft, EA etc.
Playnite looks very good. So it’s just a launcher and games manager that doesn’t also try to be a store, chat client, advertising platform, and social media site?
Amazing!
Sadly it only supports Windows.
Wouldn’t Heroic be a better option on Linux? It supports both Epic and GOG.
I find it to be a nicer library.
Yeah, Playnite certainly is super moddable comparatively.
Fun fact: When the epic games launcher crashes it shows a unreal engine error window, hinting at the possibility that EGL might be an application made in Unreal Engine.
