Then they must be held liable for what they allow to spread on their platforms

Paying for it is not the problem at all, in fact it’s preferred over a freemium model.

The practices I mostly refer to are:

• microtransactions in any context;
• requiring additional software (PSN overlay) that doesn’t support all platforms;
• PSN account requirement for a game that’s sold on Steam (have they forgotten about the shitshow that was Helldivers II?).

EDIT: history has also told us that paying upfront for a hero shooter doesn’t work out in the long term if the game wants any shot at being popular, just look at Overwatch’s failure to capitalize on it’s momentum by not becoming free-to-play earlier (and everything else wrong with Blizzard and their management).

That’s what happens when you mix a pile of abusive industry practices with an overall bad and iterative game that doesn’t bring anything new to the genre

If only we had a fix for the crazy performance discrepancy that pops up when running DX12 + RTX titles!

A1RM4X - DirectX 12 and ray tracing are broken on Linux? Wukong benchmarks results - Windows vs Linux

Yes, at least that’s what was on OP’s system

Will the Gnome version of Bazzite work for HDR on an Nvidia GPU, or for that matter any other OS as long as I’m using gamescope to run the game with HDR enabled?

I don’t think it would work because of the fact that HDR isn’t properly implemented yet on GNOME, still waiting for that to land in 47…

OMG nice build! I’m waiting on RDNA4 to finally upgrade my setup to AM5 and by then I hope we already have the X3D variants of the 9000 series from AMD too, but daily driving my RTX 2060 6GB in 2024 on both Windows and Linux has been quite the painful experience…

Wow that’s crazy, did she read the book even after that major spoiler you didn’t know you were giving her?

I’ll be so excited if I actually win this and get to play it with my boyfriend, sounds like such a good time :)

Over the last year I’ve been dating a potterhead and I never read/watched the whole series (due to generally disliking fictional books and not really watching movies). However, I love video games and feel like playing Hogwarts Legacy would allow me to know the universe of HP a little better while also being more connected with my boyfriend’s interests - we could also play it together!

Nothing major, just lots and lots of browser toolbars in the XP era and contact with some trojans (especially on torrents) that were thankfully caught by the antiviruses available back then.

What issues are you aware people have been experiencing?

I’m currently running 555.52.04 (this driver’s beta release) on F40 + GNOME Wayland and Firefox has been working flawlessly. Video playback using PiP has also improved a lot for me although IDK if it’s related to explicit sync or Wayland itself. Before installing these drivers I was using X and that feature would annihilate my desktop’s performance.

Wish I could buy one through official means here in Brazil 🇧🇷

Hmmm, now I get it, thank you!

I’m aware there are problems with the way their survey works, but I don’t see how that’s the case…

To me it seems like it’s done on a monthly basis by selecting a random pool of users and prompting them to participate by collecting stats at that moment, only once they opt into it.

AFAIK the data is not aggregated over a certain period of time (i.e. “a year”)

If the latest Steam survey is anything to go by, it’s actually lower of a percentage when it comes to gaming, representing 1.94% of the market. The stats mentioned in the article come from StatCounter which monitors web traffic.

You can’t deny their support for Wayland has been steadily improving with the latest driver releases. In fact it’s already in a good state if it weren’t for the flickering in certain applications caused by these issues with explicit sync which are currently being addressed.

That’s true, but thankfully it’s already been merged in mutter and is underway in kwin.

The code for GNOME has already been merged, KDE has a merge request open for it too, Mesa also already has it merged in.

Looks like we’re going to have to wait until May 15th for NVIDIA’s Beta drivers (555.xx) to add support for the recently merged explicit sync wayland protocol, but at least progress is being made to finally get these issues fixed.

If Wine on wayland were ready we wouldn’t depend on that merge request since the major compositors have already implemented the protocol, but I’m hopeful it won’t take long for XWayland to support it too since all threads were resolved and CI is already passing there.

This article gives a nice overview of the current situation: Explicit Sync Wayland Protocol Merged, Wayland Protocols 1.34 released

This is such good news, I’ve been waiting for this ever since ditching Windows
