This is my result with the Chromium flatpak with ozone set to auto, AMD GPU.

Even though it says video decode is hardware accelerated, it doesn’t seem to be doing so according to Resources.

Are you using two separate devices? If so another option could be LocalSend, it allows you to send files over the same network.

I used it for sending a couple hundred GBs of files. Didn’t take too too long. Also avoids unnecessary writes to flash media.

To my understanding, the kernel should clean up any memory leaks an app has when you close it.

I’m not sure if it is related to Newsflash is the problem. Besides, I’ve been using the same version for months, but this has only recently become a problem. And the problem persists after Newsflash is closed.

No integrated GPU.

Resources reports the same memory usage as btop. free tells me only 6GB is being used for cache.

On a fresh boot, Resources and btop report less than 2GB RAM usage, obviously not including cached stuff. So for both tools to report 18GB with no apps open, it’s strange.

ps aux looks all normal, nothing in the background using more than 1% of RAM.

Using Fedora Silverblue 41 with btrfs.

Better game performance in some scenarios when running a game natively under Wayland. It helps to minimize GPU downtime when it could instead be rendering.

I was using a 1660 Ti around 3 years ago and I don’t remember it being this stuttery, even on Wayland. If this is a problem on newer NVIDIA cards, then I think I might have to go AMD again despite the worse raytracing. I wanted to get an upgrade before upcoming tariffs affect graphics card prices.

They call Bazzite cloud native because they use a lot of technology often used in the cloud, but it’s still a locally run OS with no dependence on the internet apart from getting new updates.

Unlike traditional distros, it uses flatpak for apps, comes with podman (similar to docker) if you want to use containers, and has a more robust update mechanism.

This is the protocol for HDR content. KDE already ships an experimental version of it.
