It's technically possible, but not stable. On my system, it's not stable, so I prefer to have two cards, but YMMV.

I have a VFIO setup as well, and I'm not aware of any register setting correcting stuttering. There was an issue with AMD systems a few years ago, which caused microstuttering.

I think one doesn't need to reach that complexity in order to benefit from ECS design. On the other hand, most of the games have somewhat-throwaway code, so the code design may not be so important indeed (VVVVVV was for example discuss

There are a couple of reasons; performance is one. Besides that, games have an (un)surpring level of coupling between entities. Even a simple, few hundred lines game, is a tangle. The ECS designs decouples the entities, which is a very sign

This is a complex topic, mainly for two reasons: 1. it works on two layers (storage and code) 2. there is a context to take care of. [Modern] programming languages have decimal/rational data types, which (within limits) are exact. Wher

Coursera and Udemy are two radically different platforms. Udemy has a very standard pricing model. You pay what you use (=courses), so I don't see any way this can significantly change either way. The teachers are private and not insti

To be clear, I don't dismiss Proton/Wine at all. I didn't intend "shortcut" as derogative (bad word choice :)); rather, given the limited resources of game development, it may make Linux ports possible (as opposed t

88 out of the 100 top Steam games are not representative of desktop gaming in general, even less "crushing" windows, where games run out of the box, and as intended ("platinum"). The value 88(%) is also misleading. It re

Something I don't fully understand is why single-use plastics are still in use. Every once in a while, a replacement is advertised, but still not used. The reasons I can think of are: 1. cost - this could be an very simple reason; 2. c

Interestingly, AFAIK also Golang suffers from something similar: creating a slice from an array, then performing an operation on the array, that causes resizing - the slice will keep pointing to the old array data.

Money, obviously. This engine has a permissive license, MIT. The question is rather what one can conveniently do with it, in the context of the given game, when compared to a big-name engine. Possibly, for non-demanding games, smaller engin

Thanks! I'll check the reference document to search for something that works. In the past, I had tried (to no avail) with the `userspace` governor, `cpufreq-set`, `cpupower` and also `/sys/*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

While that's correct, it's misleading in the big picture. On full load, any machine hits thermal constraints, so, considering clock changes a problem, a desktop is problematic as well. A desktop will certainly have a higher ceilin
