Would software that more accurately emulates a CD drive be preferable? Virtual CloneDrive will run The Sims (and other early SafeDisc titles) without issue. By contrast I don't believe that any emulator (QEMU/Virtualbox/DOS

Perhaps if the NixOS folks want better support they should invest more time in keeping up with Asahi Fedora? The developers can use what they want. Marcan famously used Gentoo for many years

What's the point of using Vulkan as an encoding API if the work is still being done on the CPU then? I'm not sure I understand

I'm told that GPU-based encoding (Nvenc etc) can't possibly match a "brute force' CPU encode if you want truly tiny filesizes. Nvenc's encoder is also miserable in terms of quality Does this "Vulkan based enc
