I’m kind of disappointed that they didn’t show the benchmarks side-by-side with their Windows benchmarks. Even though the recording software is different and it’s hard to control the variables, this is what Windows users want to know before switching to Linux. Is it a 20% loss or 20% gain? Is it within +/-5% for all the games you play? You have to put in extra work to take the information from this video and make a comparison to their other videos.
the myth of the safe C programmer
I learnt C around about 1997 and I’ve used it off and on professionally since about 2006. I am not a myth, and there are many others like me.

Isn’t this something that compilers take care of?
Here is the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWx769t1JKg
My first Linux PC was a Pentium 75MHz with 32Mb RAM.
Who’s doing that?
I just want to second (third?) the possibility that it’s an OOM. My system freezes in the same way when I run out of memory.
Generally it’s because I have too many tabs open in Firefox, so I tweaked the Firefox settings to make it unload tabs when below a certain amount of free memory:
browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory true
browser.low_commit_space_threshold_mb 8192
browser.low_commit_space_threshold_percent 25
browser.tabs.fadeOutUnloadedTabs true
browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload 86400000
The above settings in about:config will start to unload tabs when you get below 8Gb or 25% of free memory. The “inactive duration” is set to 1 day so that Firefox doesn’t just start unloading tabs unnecessarily.
Since I changed these settings, I always have at least 8Gb memory free for other programs. You could reduce those values if you want to use more of your memory for Firefox.
“Never trust the client” renders entire genres of games inaccessible for a big corporation.
No it doesn’t. It makes certain engine implementations inaccessible. You can make a game in any genre that doesn’t require trusting the client.
You can select from French, English, German in the menu at the top right. This will result in the email text being in the chosen language.
That’s quite an insulting insinuation, and no, I’m not going to doxx myself on my pseudonymous piefed account.
