Grape times ahead with the release of Wine 6.6 noting plenty of fixes
12 Apr 2021 at 11:59 pm UTC

Quoting: Buhe226.4 was a major improvement to what I could now run, like Ren'ply, RPGM and Unity with no problem, but now, after 6.5, I can get nothing running. The stable version still runs 'some' of my windows stuff. Is anyone else having this problem with other windows stuff?
Have you tried making a 32bit wine prefix with WINEARCH=win32. Works for me to get RPG Maker game to work and not using dxvk lets other RPG Maker games that only show a black screen(when dxvk in enabled) work.

Quoting: ShmerlI thought DRM-free music situation isn't bad. There are a number of good stores where you can get even DRM-free FLAC:
Havent heard of these places before and didnt know tidal sold music every time i went or was sent to their site i only ever saw their streaming service. Guess it doesnt help that i dont buy a lot of western music and my friends never buy music they only stream it.

Quoting: Zlopezat least there are legal options for games, not like for movies or music
I always forget how hard it can be to get DRM free music im so used to buying from bandcamp and japan and my dad buys classical music. Japan still has a CD market and have multiple DRM free digital stores some times you do need to vpn to be able to buy the music. Movie on the other had ya good luck trying to get a DRM free version in good quality legaly since Bluray's DRM hasnt been fully cracked like DVD.

Quoting: 3zekielOtherwise, if your PC is powerful enough, I recommend rpcs3 emulator, it works quite well for me.
RPCS3 was the reason i got a PS3 played some games and really liked them but preformance was poor with somegames (about Version 0.0.6-7830) at the time and getting games was hard and games i wanted to play didnt work so i bought a ps3 because it was easier. Best thing that happened was when i was buying games from gamestop's website and the system bugged and had to only pay $0.24 i still dont know how this happened

Wish they would add ps3 support because sonys program doesnt work on windows let alone wine but id imaging that would be to much of a hassle for little reward

Quoting: JuliusDoes anyone know how this relates to the new (?) "Proton experimental" version that showed up in the Steam beta client?
That build is to try and reduce the cpu over head of wine https://twitter.com/Plagman2/status/1336777378517794817?s=20 [External Link]

I hope this release that they add proper drawing tablet support since the last time I tried elementry os they had a program in beta but all it could really do was detected the tablet so I had to configure it in terminal which is not user friendly.

Quoting: elmapulbeauty pic, who is the waif... character?
I want to say Mashu Kyrielight but I have a memory of the artist saying it was someone else that looked similar but I can't find the art post because I don't organize my pixiv bookmarks.

PS She is not my waifu

Valve funds open source developer to work on Zink, the OpenGL on Vulkan driver

I hope this can be brought to windows one day because AMD opengl driver on windows sucks. It's amazing how much faster linux is compared to windows like tri force heros on citra goes from 15 fps to 60 fps or my friends 1050 ti beating my vega56 in cemu when on windows before they added vulkan

Quoting: leillo1975Is there any hope of this driver for previous Raspberry models?
An Nvidia engineer made one but I doesn't support everything full vulkan needs because like mirv said the hardware doesnt support it. On the wiki faq it says whats not supported
