Hey Linux Gaming Community,
Kind of new to Lemmy, i already posted elsewhere but this is actually the place i wanted it to be. Definetly prefer Lemmy over something like Reddit and its alternatives.
Anyway i’ve been quietly benchmarking 700+ games on Linux with full MangoHud data (frametime, 1% lows, VRAM) across CachyOS, Fedora, and Kubuntu. Not gameplay footage - actual performance data. Figured this community might find it useful somehow. Channel link : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNq7pDavJRTEjg3AOdcuMAg
On the off chance the channel is legit; ain’t no way Im following a random QR code from the net. This was pointed out the first time you did it.
QR codes on the net make no sense.
If I’m on the net… I’m already on the device that I want to visit a webpage from, just link to the webpage.
QR codes are for sharing something from one thing to another where there is no common interface other than a camera. The internet is already a common interface for sending me a URL, you don’t need a QR code.
For example:
If I were browsing on my phone, the only QR reader I have uses the camera. I can’t take a picture of my phone using my phone. I can’t use the QR code.
If I were on my PC, I dont have a QR reader at all except on my phone, and I’m on my PC, why would I want to switch to my phone.
Sharing a QR code on lemmy/piefed never makes any sense.
Some people use qr reader apps that show them the contents of the qr code before allowing them to choose to open or not.
I can respect that, good security practice. No worries. My enthusiasm for Linux and gaming is what made me share, thats all. Have a great day
And I appreciate that enthusiasm! Please keep posting just consider dropping the QR next time is my 2c is all.
Haha i got hooked on the QR code thingie, thinking it would help spread the channel as YouTube is so fragmented. But thanks, ill keep it in mind.
Please do consider mirroring to PeerTube, the federated alternative to YouTube.
Thanks a lot for that, but it seems users or videos are limited to 100GB and my content is generally at least 40-60GB each
That limit is instance specific. You can probably get more if you ask the staff team of the instance and provide a good reason.
Though I am not so sure if any instance will want to host 4K videos, so perhaps you can downscale them to 1080p or something. It’s totally understandable if you don’t want to go through the hassle.
Would love to try, i want the data to be available outside of YouTube if possible. Thanks for commenting
Would be nice to have the actual stats of the game in a blog format so I don’t have to watch the video in squint vision on mobile.
Yes, already working on getting all stats extracted from the videos, into other formats. Thanks for commenting
Why are you extracting the data from the video?
For 700+ games, wouldn’t you have needed to keep a spreadsheet or something to make the video from in the first place?
Because i made the mistake of not recording the data itself. Into csv format or something similar. I should have done that, now im kind of stuck with Gemini being the only llm able to read and analyze youtube videos. I could perhaps extract mangohud data that way. Not sure, im just an linux enthusiast. Not yet a hardcore linux power user, but i hope to change that. Thanks for commenting.
How long is the video that it doesn’t make sense to just watch it and extract the figures by hand? Ensures that the bullshitting machine doesn’t just make stuff to.
I’d check myself, but https://xkcd.com/1237/ and you haven’t posted a link.
Yeah youre right i tried Gemini and it hallucinated the results and keep saying its an Nvidia graphics card and giving wrong metrics again and again. Im looking for help to manually extract the information. But its a bit hard work, there is many videos. Thanks for commenting.
