  • The big boost for gaming is only relevant if you do not use Proton. While there might be some boost for selected games, in general the new Kernel 6.14 shouldn’t make much of a difference for Steam gamers using Proton. Because Proton already got some alternative to NTSync mechanism, which improved some titles already.

    The benchmarks presented with huge %-boosts and improvements are compared to previous WINE version, which do not have some of the alternative optimizations from Proton. Therefore I would be a bit cautious, if you already play on Steam using Proton.









  • This can easily be solved by bundling all update commands into a single command. I have an alias for this, that updates everything with just a command called update. There is no need for an extra software. But you have to figure out the commands and options to do this correctly. For my operating system EndeavourOS, I have this:

    alias update='eos-update --yay ;
      flatpak update ; 
      flatpak uninstall --unused ; 
      rustup self update ; 
      rustup update'
    

    then run it with:

    update
    

    … which updates the system, the AUR, Flatpak and my Rust environment. You don’t need to rely on any third party software to update your system.
