    new update after a while: Solarxr IPC Driver is now supported on monado! And wivrn apparently has implemented that version as of a week ago

    all thats left is a feeder app, according to a contributor on github

    VRChat performance on Linux Mint got a bit better, with the new kernel 6.14 being available(it improves Wine/Proton performance)

    The new kernel sadly didn’t fix the 1 month+ old issue with Linux Mint and some Realtek network adapters(that come in many motherboards). It still is crashing when I try making a hotspot using 5Ghz

    VRChat remains stable 2 weeks later with the experimental proton version, which makes me believe the final 10.0 update onward will work just fine with it.

    SlimeVR however seems to not work properly. The app, I believe, was made using java and even with openjdk installed it would just display a blank screen. I’m reporting it to devs to see what its about

    EDIT: Seems like that was only the flathub version. Some incompatibility with wayland? Anyway I tried the .deb on their github and it worked just fine

    Feature request to WiVRn denied, but for a good reason: They want to keep compatibility and whatnot with other tools as easy and good as possible. Thankfully I been shown a tool I didn’t know called “wlx-overlay-s” that should work with WiVRn(and even steamVR, monado and others) so thats good

    Problem is, even with upgrades the type of cable used is way too fragile when compared to something like usb c

     

    Personally I sent my extensions to a friend whos upgrading them into full trackers for me

    little bit of an update: The cables mentioned in 4 have been improved according to them and are covered under warranty. I got the new ones and, at least within a month, they haven’t broken/shown any signs of breaking

     

    Update 2(22/04/2025): made no difference. Two months or so after it arrived and problems started happening again. The trackers also come with horrible wifi adapters that every so often have problems.

    oh and as an extra bit: The wiki links to cables, which is nice if you need replacements(you will very soon after getting them)

    not so nice is how the aliexpress link doesn’t tell you the cables are basically ONLY HALVES.

    New version just came out officially, so I tested on my system(has a Ryzen 7 7800x3D) and… well barely any difference at all in games.

    On top of that, the (much) lower amount of threads decreased the performance for productivity(video editing, blender and overall multitasking if there are lots of applications open) a bit, so overall not a good trade

    Also can we all agree to let UserBenchmark die? https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-Ultra-9-285K/Rating/4173

    Saying “he Intel Core Ultra 9 285K averaged 37.9% higher than the peak scores attained by the group leaders. This is an excellent result which ranks the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K near the top of the comparison list.” outside of April Fools is quite sad

    Good bye Google! Thanks to the help of the form plugin devs, the forms no longer make use of google’s recaptcha!

    Ever since this update, 38% of all requests hit Cloudflare‘s cache instead of the website’s servers, reducing bandwidth usage in 27%.

    Page loading speed, derived from script updates, improved by about 10% for users near the server(in Brazil) and about 50%+ to users far away. Total Blocking Time also is now under 70ms on all benchmarks.

    New few changes made to the backend to simplify some queries to the database.

     

    On top of that, further re-coloring has happened: Side menu is now a very dark shade of blue, links are a shade of orange and so are buttons. Home link now won’t reset the whole website to english if you’re navigating the portuguese version
