Fedora is pretty nice. Been on Nobara KDE for almost 2 years without any major hitches myself. Definitely not going back to Windows any time soon. Weirdly refreshing.

I vaguely remember that notch selling the game was under condition about the game and that's always how I understood that java was not yet a pay to play game like on bedrock. And if I remember correctly there was something about java staying the main game... I might be wrong tho.

That's huge (to me anyway), if true. I tried to google it, but couldn't find anything myself...

It's vaguely interesting, but not enough to sacrifice one of the very limited USB ports for. If they'd added an internal header for it on the GabeCube, then I'd be a lot less concerned about the end results.

I really hope we get Bethesda game support soon.

Check out LIMO. I'm not exactly sure why Nexus disabled Bethesda support, because I used this tool to mod Skyrim SE around two years ago, but LIMO also works.

Nice, but I won't install it on my system until they make a Flatpak version

Gross, why? Do you just enjoy making things more difficult for yourself while simultaneously losing control over the things that are installed on your system? Like, there's a reason why people shout from the rooftops to go native as much as possible, especially when it comes to gaming. Also, this utility is already released as an AppImage. If you don't like that, unpack it, and plop it in /opt or something.

Would it work using an active DisplayPort -> HDMI2.1 adapter?

With specific adapter, firmware version, and plenty of luck, it does.

My only issue with frame generation is them requiring newer hardware and that its more prone to noticeable artifacting when using lower frame rates as an input.

Which is a little counter productive, since you'd mostly want it at lower frame rates on older hardware. 😅

On Steam Deck even with the artifacting, I do find myself preferring a generated 60fps to the heavy stutter of 30fps.

used to use playnight while i was in windows, it was great honestly and i missed it when i first came over ... while we have similar things over here like lutris and heroic playnight doesn't just pull other launchers into it you can also do achievement stuff with plugins and such , its pretty nice so this will be a welcome addition if they get alot of it going.

not on fedora proper , but when i made the jump i settled on nobara kde myself and its been great overall. fedora definitely seems to be pretty good bones far as my newbie brain can tell.

I like the thing, that only announcing a steam machine is already creating an emulation, and people are coming with all sort of ideas. Saw one creating a steam machine looking like a cube from Portal. This might bring more and more gamer on linux on the run especially if perf on those machines are stronger with steamos than windows.

Quoting: loggeAt least, the trilogy is linked. Installation of the GOG version is somewhat cumbersome, and also the Steam version borked out with my AppImage on Linux.

Does it not work installing via Heroic?

An answer to ARK that a museum of natural history wouldn't be allergic to? I hope their game sees enough success that later on down they line they might consider a proper native release.

I guess the ARM apk support is in part also a response to them shelving their ChromeOS support since Google decided to kill off ChromeOS and rather work on improving Android desktop support.

It works in 4:2:0 (chroma subsampling) but not 4:4:4 (PC mode), which is a dealbreaker for productivity. It's fine for games as the impact of chroma subsampling is generally not noticeable outside of small text (like scoreboards).

@hell0

Bonus points for being the only new franchise amongst the GOTY nominees.

You are hastily forgetting the previous 32 iterations of CO:E33 ... ... ...
(Joke aside, you should play it before before having overly high expectations)

One can only applaud the developer, that's the best marketing an indie game can hope for. Genuinely impressed.

That said, my 7800XT does 4K@120Hz just fine, connected via HDMI to my LG OLED TV. VRR (FreeSync Premium) works as well, and is active according to the TV. Don't know about HDR as this machine is still on X11.

After reading a great review on GoL and watching a very professionally done developer's blog on YouTube, I bought Megabonk. I have posted the URL to the developer's blog previously, but for those of you that are interested in this hilarious video, here is the link:

I'm Making Vampire Survivors but 3D | Game Devlog #1
[https://youtu.be/gnxnmw5ryhg?si=CgW5KYjY5P8YzgOw](https://youtu.be/gnxnmw5ryhg?si=CgW5KYjY5P8YzgOw)

After playing the game for a few hours, I got very curious about the developer. I could find nothing. Since Vedinad turned down The Game Award nomination, a number of other people have written articles about this mysterious developer. Here is the most authoritative and interesting article I discovered:

Megabonk and the mystery of the missing YouTuber - is creator Vedinad actually Danidev?

One thing that is not a mystery to me, this is a great game. Highly recommended!

Will those Android games also work on amd64 CPUs, or just on the Frame?

I don't use regular Fedora, but I have been using Bazzite and Aurora for over a year and have had no issues. Yes, I've had some nitpicks, but no actual issues. Using an immutable distro is very pleasant, in my opinion, and I have no interest in going back to a regular distro.

I personally like using FSR in Performance mode, particularly in games like Cyberpunk 2077, The Outer Worlds 2 and Oblivion: Remastered. It's particularly important in those latter two games, due to their use of UE5.

The only thing that keeps me away from Fedora is SELinux; the over complicated and error prone technology built initially by an infamous organization. Fedora should do better than that.

For the ones commenting on the lack of HDMI 2.1, AMD isn't allowed to implement the standard in their open source kernel driver.

That said, my 7800XT does 4K@120Hz just fine, connected via HDMI to my LG OLED TV. VRR (FreeSync Premium) works as well, and is active according to the TV. Don't know about HDR as this machine is still on X11.

I've tried to install Fedora a few times now and every time I bounce off because I'm particular about my partitioning set up and the Fedora installer doesn't appreciate that (ESP on /efi instead of /boot/efi, both / and /home with btrfs but separate partitions instead of a single partition with submodules, full disk encryption with a bunch of specific options,...). Arch, Gentoo, and Guix all let me use the partitioning I like, but Gentoo's packages are too old for my liking and doing full disk encryption on Guix is a pain because Shepherd doesn't do the systemd multi-partition unlocking.

Well, Liam, I think you lasted longer on Kubuntu than you did on Fedora when you first switched over to it. Can't remember why you left Fedora last time but, hopefully, you'll have a good run this time around.

Myself, I've had a lot of luck maintaining a separate partition for my game installs. Both Steam and Lutris have adapted well to this approach. I try to keep as much stuff off my system partition as possible (hence, why I have been avoiding flatpaks thus far).

I'm surprised that people even care about these awards.

Good luck... you'll need it with the bugfest of Fedora + KDE

I am honestly not happy with AMD.

I own a 7900xtx and this news that FSR4 does not support 7000 series cards and the lack of HDMI 2.1 support is just yet another slap in the face. This is a great gaming card but the lack of support from AMD is beginning frustrate me.

It is such a shame because I really enjoy my gaming experience with this GPU but the lack of HDMI 2.1 support and now this has forced me to re evaluate whether I should go back to using a NVIDIA card.

Nice, but I won't install it on my system until they make a [Flatpak version](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/issues/2436).

I really hope we get Bethesda game support soon. I've been wanting to start a modded play through of Fallout 4 for a bit now but couldn't quite get MO2 to work properly through Wine/Proton, and everything else seemed too hard to work with.
