What is the flag for this?

CGNAT does have a designated range by spec. 100.64.0.0/10, which covers addresses from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255. Technically they could be using any other private address space but it would be very uncommon in a modern ISP.

No offence: but the problem is an app forces me to trust you; a website does not. I have toghter and easier control over a web request than I do over an app, and even if an app doesn’t have these permissions today, an update or an update after a sale could trivially and silently introduce them.

A website is obvious if the deal changes-- you put up a login wall to harvest data; I stop using the site. You put trackers and ads into the UI; I block it at the DNS level.

First instinct: being an app gives me over-permissive data collection scam vibes. I will not be installing it even though I might otherwise find a website of similar capability useful.

Unfortunately it not only has to be companies, but unless you are a producer of products that are HDMI certified already your membership will be denied. It would take a lot of fuckery to make that many corporations and not have all of their membership applications be denied. Also I’m not sure that it’s even a voting democracy in the traditional sense even if you could.

I suspect the difference in experiences is more due to x11/pulse(my custom systems) vs Wayland/pipewire(bazzite) than it is any particular GPU vendor or driver branch. Which I guess is a roundabout way of saying

Maybe? Probably?

Judging by the protondb entry on CS2 I strongly suspect I would have at least the audio issue regardless of gpu.

Appreciate the recommended fixes. I did find similar and was able to work through some of the issues with CS2 but I did that on instinct, and it wasn’t until I was halfway through troubleshooting game 2 of 2 attempted that I realized it wasn’t where I needed it to be for a remote support hand-me-down.

I did briefly entertain the idea of setting up rustdesk on it but the atomic nature + Wayland made unattended (read: “help I broke it and I can’t log in”) not really viable. By the time I got to “hrm, I could probably set up a reverse ssh tunnel into my homelab for persistent support?” I decided windows was probably the play here.

Like the other guy said I think this is a bazzite-induced problem. I have other Linux systems at home. My daily driver and my wife’s daily driver are both highly custom Ubuntu server derivatives, we both have Nvidia GPUs (3050, 5070), and neither of us have similar issues.

The reason I wanted to try bazzite was that I didn’t want to remotely support something super custom.

I just went to repurpose some old hardware for my nephew (4790k + 32gb ddr3 + rtx 3050) which I thought would make a very passable bazzite box. I put 2 drives in the test rig, one with bazzite Nvidia + kde and one with win11 running with the rufus tpm bypass hacks.

CS2 ran at ~40fps in bazzite with no sound once you got in game, win11 ran at ~100

Helldivers2 ran at ~50fps in bazzite with constant frame drops even after letting it precompile shaders. On windows it was a very playable 70fps.

I mainline Linux myself and I wanted bazzite to be the set-and-forget answer but it really wasn’t. I can’t in good faith hand that build over to an 12 year old with bazzite and that was super disappointing.

Fast ddr5 /strix halo would probably be passable for a patient single-user but yeah not really the target audience here for sure.

That is correct, but you might be missing why this is useful. MoE models are great for CPU inference, which is considerably cheaper than GPU inference at scale. The qwen 30b_a3b MoE and 8b dense models were widely considered similar in quality. If you have the vram, the 8b would be faster. If you don’t, then the 30b would be faster (as long as you had the ~19-22gb of ram required)

A very inexpensive used server with lots of memory channels but no gpu can do very cost-efficent inference in this scenario and loads of people are asking for this.
