The advantage of making your own engine is that you can specialize for your specific gameplay.

For the resolution of the texture to need to be doubled along each axis, you could either have a monitor with twice the resolution, or you could be half the distance away. Most of the time games will let you get closer to objects than their texture resolution looks good for. So 4k textures still give an improvement even on a 1080p monitor.
Texture resolution is chosen on a case by case basis, objects that the player will usually be very close to have higher resolution textures, and ones that are impossible to approach can use lower resolution.
The only costs to including higher resolution textures are artist time and (usually) disk space. Artist time is outsourced to countries with cheap labor (Philippines, Indonesia, etc) and apparently no-one cares about disk space.
I got the one on the top (minus storage and ram) from a local university surplus store for $30 a few years ago. Lenovo brand but same form factor.
JXL is badly supported but it does offer lossless encoding in a more flexible and much more efficient way than png does
Basically jxl could theoretically replace png, jpg, and also exr.
I think it's just that the iPhone processing gives it a certain look that people associate with ai for possibly incorrect reasons.
Software support is basically identical across any Linux distro. It's not really a concern when choosing a distro to use. Of course some are easier to install stuff on than others.
I agree, really anything with KDE Plasma will feel basically the same because the Steam Deck's desktop is basically stock kde.
Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren't great on Linux, at least with controllers
Although that is improving!
Hmm I just tried editing some systemd service with Kate and it did actually give me an authenticator popup when I tried to save it
Although then the prompt expired and now it does nothing when I try to save it. Restarted Kate and now it works again...
I haven't tried that before
When I try to go into the sudoers.d folder tho it just says I can't, and the same thing happens when I try to open the sudoers file in Kate. If I try to copy and paste a systemd service in dolphin tho it just says I don't have permission and doesn't give a prompt.
lol if I open it with nano through sudo it says 'sudoers is meant to be read only'
Yeah, when I was on xfce on Arch I remember going into some places in the file manager where it wouldn't let me edit files etc without running it from the terminal through sudo.
Is there a technical reason that Linux apps can't/don't just pop up an authenticator thing asking for more privileges like Windows apps can do? Why does nano just say that the file is unwriteable instead of letting me increase the privileges?
This works in Kerbal Space Program
