Are you sure vsync is disabled? It looks like you’re getting a very consistent 144fps.

I personally keep vsync enabled, but you should absolutely disable it if you’re testing your hardware since it forces the fps to never exceed you monitor’s refresh rate.

As for throttling, it’s only useful as a diagnosis tool. First and foremost you should be finding other people’s benchmarks of your hardware (cpu/gpu) and running those benchmarks yourself at the same settings. Phoronix is a great resource for Linux benchmarks.

It’s not quite as fancy as nala, but apt also has colour support since 2.9.

Yes, projects backed by multi-billion dollar companies do tend to be more resistant to that kind of attack.

It wasn’t “easy” at all, they had to put in over 2 years of useful contributions before there was chance to insert the malware. If you’re worried just stay on an older version, it should still open new files perfectly fine.

Do you use it for anything other than syncing code? Currently I’m using plain SSH sync for all my personal git repos, and I’m not sure if there’d be any advantage in switching to Forgejo.
