  • It’s very good.

    Basically, there is one maintainer in the AUR (the name escapes me, jonathon I think it was?) who applies the necessary patches to the old NVIDIA drivers to make them run with a modern Linux kernel.

    Of course, there won’t be any Wayland support, but the experience is acceptable as long as you temper your expectations in terms of graphics API support. (No vulkan sadly)

    I hadn’t used it myself but I know a person who does and loves it. iGPU handles Wayland stuff while the NVIDIA is there for the heavy lifting in Xorg.









  • I used to play Duel Links and shortly Master Duel after it came out. I don’t anymore but hopefully this will help.

    If I was going back to the game, I’d go to look for budget deck lists and seeing what ranks up easily. Most of the community is on Discord and Reddit, as well as YouTube (yugitubers and alike) so I’d go and look there. (Not to mention Dkayed’s website, https://masterduelmeta.com and looking at the decks that topped, you’ll be surprised it’s sometimes not all meta stuff)

    I’d also go look for some easy farming methods. These usually come in a form of a current event (IIRC in MD there are these “festivals” for each card type, such as Synchro Festival). These events are usually a very easy way to gain a lot of gems for not much playing.

    It is what it is. TCG paper Yu-Gi-Oh is even more expensive than MD.

    DL is arguably cheaper but it’s been a long time since I last played (2021).

    EDIT: Oh and before I forget - there will always be Dueling Book as a free alternative. This is a manual simulator, not an automated one, and allows you to use any card you want with custom rules.







  • Yep, shadow games had actual repercussions.

    The manga is about various different types of games (not just Duel Monsters) and the darkness revolves around the Millenium Items. Shadow Games are initiated by the wielder of an item and the loser (or worse, cheater) dies.

    The closest we got are the Season 0 and the first movie.

    But don’t disregard the japanese original animes that do involve the new direction. They can get quite dark too.


  • I’m referring to the philosophy behind the usage of said allocated ram.

    If you allocate 5 cookie jars to store 1 cookie in each jar, then that’s not good.

    If you store 2 cookies per jar, that’s better already, but still kind of crap.

    If the websites keep putting rocks in those jars, then you’ll obviously run rampant with usage. (Read: https://tonsky.me/blog/js-bloat/ )

    The goal is to store as many cookies in least amount of jars. You might crumble them down and reconstruct them later (compression and/or clever code) but that could take more brain (processing) power (of which we kinda have, especially on the desktop).

    As you’ve said, it’s often a tradeoff between processing power and memory usage and depending on the application, you can configure things the way you need them (at least when you’re coding it).
