    I believe there was a miscommunication from my side. The performance degradation is enough to make the gaming experience laggy and slow, but does not make the game virtually unplayable.

    I don’t think this should be the fault of drivers. If that were the case, I would have noticed a similar degradation other parts of my OS, which I have not observed in any degree.

    I reckon this is the fault of the other inbuilt wine executable proton-cachyos I was using earlier before switching to wine-cachyos.

    In either case, this situation doesn’t matter since after I switched to wine-cachyos, the games suffering from the degradation went back to being smooth and responsive as before. It could only mean that the issue is purely software-oriented.














  • Is there really that much advantage to isolating these apps in a work profile? I’ve been using them under a work profile for a while now and I see not much point to it since I never practically disable them for concern over missing out on important notifications. They have as much access to device APIs as they do in the personal profile anyways so they can track my phone just as well. It just becomes inconvenient moving content between both profiles.





  • For me it was the announcement in the Blender’s official Discord server about its acquisition by Affinity, renaming it to Affinity 3D.

    Canva Announces Acquisition of Blender to Launch ‘Affinity 3D’

    @everyone Canva announced the acquisition of the Blender Foundation’s development assets and core engineering team. This landmark move expands the “Affinity” creative ecosystem following Canva’s purchase of Serif last year. Rebranded as “Affinity 3D,” the software will serve as the foundational 3D powerhouse within Canva’s subscription model. CEO Melanie Perkins stated the move is designed to bridge the gap between professional 3D rendering and the intuitive, drag-and-drop accessibility that defines the Canva brand.

    The integration into the Affinity ecosystem promises a seamless, unified workflow. Users will gain non-destructive, real-time links between Affinity Photo, Designer, and their 3D projects. The engineering team plans to overhaul the interface to mirror the streamlined Affinity aesthetic while retaining the high-performance cycles and geometry nodes power-users rely on. Canva has emphasized that the open-source spirit of Blender will be preserved through an “Affinity Community Edition,” keeping the core architecture free for students and individual creators.

    The acquisition acts as a catalyst for the “Canva Magic 3D” generative suite. By training AI models on Affinity 3D data, Canva will introduce text-to-3D generation directly into its browser-based editor. Users can generate custom models, textures, and lighting via prompts, which can then be imported into Affinity 3D for refined manual sculpting. Analysts believe this positions Canva as a direct competitor to Adobe’s Substance suite, creating an end-to-end powerhouse that simplifies 3D for everyone from social media marketers to professional VFX artists.
