📰 Valve's new Linux VRAM fix almost triples framerates in some games on the 4GB Radeon RX 6500 XT
A little while ago, we saw one of Valve's contractors, Natalie Vock, release a new tool that prevents Linux from stealing your VRAM. Beforehand, when Linux had to free up room on your GPU's VRAM and move stuff to the RAM, it had zero context over which blocks of data were assigned to which apps. As such, it had a tendency to boot the game you're playing off the VRAM to help keep that one random Google Chrome window you have open on the GPU's...

📰 Type with your voice on Linux using this Whisper-based app
Your mouth can say things faster than your hands can type them, yet voice typing is rarely used as a primary input method on desktop (most of us think nothing of it on mobile). That’s despite speech-to-text being available on desktop OSes for decades, natively and through dedicated apps. It never caught on because it was inaccurate and slow (and because what you do at a keyboard is less efficient to speak, but that’s a separate point).
