  • I have tried the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 before and I can tell you it definitely helps. The game is unplayable without it, to be honest. The VRAM still fills up but it’s not instantly, it takes quite a while. Makes the problem manageable.

    Edit: Several people have reported that this VRAM bug doesn’t happen on AMD cards. If you happen to have one, you might give it a try.

    Unfortunately I do not. I bought this nvidia card long before I switched to Linux and boy, do I regret it.


  • I believe that config needs to be in the working directory context of the game, but maybe I’m misremembering that.

    Yep, I tried that as well. I have the exact same file in /gamedrive//SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/

    If upon starting your game, it immediately starts using 10GB of vid mem, then that is what is needed by the game to run. Setting this to 8GB is going to magically make it run by using less.

    But the game does quickly fill 10GB with both low and ultra settings. It hints to me that the game doesn’t need 10GB to run. It just makes use of the available memory. My theory is that using 8GB would at least make my desktop usable. Currently, switching to my browser in the second monitor can break the game. If I never focus out of the game it doesn’t break.

    • Problem occurs in both x11 and wayland
    • Window vs fullscreen makes no difference
    • ProtonDB has some additional flags, I tried them all
    • I tried several proton versions from 8 to 9, GE and no GE. Made no difference

    See if you can force a specific renderer that is more stable.

    What are the available options? I haven’t tried this.

    Thanks a bunch!







  • Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.

    I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.

    Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C

    If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.

    Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.





  • I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

    I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.

    I’ve been using Proton Pass and it has been a game changer for me. Hot take: I think Proton Pass is Proton’s best service.

    It creates not only a unique password for each service but also a unique email address alias. If a website leaks my email address and I get spam, I know exactly who did it and I only need to swap 1 login credential.

    Has a built-in 2FA and passkeys. Works great in the browser with proper auto complete, even for the 2FA code. Works fine on Android and password in both browser and applications get autocomplete.

    Proton Pass can be used by everyone, regardless of their technical level, in every device. My mom could easily use this across all her devices. I’m told Keepass is fantastic but having it sync across all her devices would be challenging for her.

    Most Proton services feel kinda underbaked but Proton Pass is excellent.
