Quoting: liamdaweYou should remember not everyone uses Linux for just freedom, there's many reasons. You should just accept others choices and move on. Not everyone needs a lecture and we don't need an AMD topic derailed because of it :)

Sure Liam! that's why I said earlier that if you use linux for whatever other reasons, its completely fine.
Ohh and can you please benchmark some games like Mordor with the latest patches? (the one's claiming 25% improvements for bioshock infinite)
I would love to, but I don't own any AMD GPU to test with unfortunately. Until the Patreon grows bigger I can't really afford to shell out on some.

Yeah the main issue is the BO problem, they are working on a spray for it.

Quoting: babaialso this fix will probably go into the radeonSI userspace driver and not MESA.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't radeonSI part of Mesa?

Also, it's Mesa not MESA isn't it? http://www.mesa3d.org/ "The Mesa 3D..." :)

Yeah, I should have probably written "Core Mesa".

I would have labelled you a grammar nazi, but since Linux is case sensitive, you're right, it should be Mesa. :)
Probably the best fun use of that I've ever seen :D

Nvidia beta driver 370.23 has initial support for PRIME Synchronization

Quoting: etamRead the paragraphs about "Output" and "Offload". Read the sentence "NVIDIA has no plans to support PRIME render offload at this time.". Say "Fsck you NVIDIA! I'm staying with bumblebee." :/
While sad, this is still a really good step in the right direction. It still means if you choose to use the Nvidia GPU you will have a much better experience.

Right at the bottom.
Frozen State survival game survives Early Access, full version available, falls flat on its face

QuoteOut of 350 reviews 80% are positive, I feel like they must be playing a terribly different game to me.
Maybe they don't all share your irrational hatred of the beautiful color green. :P
puke puke puke ;)

Quoting: rea987That might sound evil but maybe you should try Windows version as well in order to check whether clunky controls and sluggish gameplay are OS specific.
The negative reviews already confirm it is not my issue, as does the rest of the games performance.

QuoteThe combat is poorly implemented and feels very unresponsive making it almost impossible to attack or dodge anything.

QuoteThe combat is absolutely horrible to the point of it being impossible as there is no way to dodge attacks.

QuoteThe movement is horrible, melee combat is just terrible and general control is bad at best.

And so on.
