Wine 8.0 is out now with major compatibility improvements
25 Jan 2023 at 7:25 pm UTC

Quoting: KnackebrodDoes that mean these changes will also come to proton or is this wine only?
Proton is downstream from Wine so yes all the Wine improvements flow at various intervals of Valve's choosing down into Proton, no worries.

Wondering if we'll ever be able to run PUBG.

Civilization VI updated properly for Linux from Aspyr but still has problems
5 Dec 2022 at 8:36 pm UTC

I can't play Civ 5 and BE any more due to startup crashes (have to force Win version in Proton instead), I'm disgusted by 2K, just trash on a platter instead of goodwill, but I'm really surprised this trash has caught up with Civ 6 so quick after release. It's still their flagship Civ... JFC 2K. Not seeing a penny, rather give it to Humankind or Old world.

Looking good, I'm so excited that we finally have LGBTQ+ platformers. Now we only need LGBTQ+ RTS and shooters and simulators :)

It looks great, but does it support incrementing the play time in your GOG account?

Quoting: GeamanduraThe name is just so idiotic. Imagine if Blender was called Open 3D Editor. Or Audacity was called Open Audio Player. No imagination, no energy to live, this comes straight from the desk of Toby from The Office. [...]
Counterpoint: I use openstack, every component has its own cool name unrelated to whatever it does: neutron, nova, cinder, glance, octavia, heat, magnum, designate, gnocchi, horizon and so on. Heck, even versions have names instead of numbers. Know what? It's effing annoying and serves no purpose whatsoever aside from confusing newcomers and making my life miserable.
Absolutely on the same page of being overwhelmed by versions having non-number designations. In today's expansive landscape of software components, it takes some oversized ego and self importance to ask of your ecosystem to put the effort to memorize codenames that are then officially used as part of repo paths etc. -- looking at Ubuntu and their code names for example. Leave the animals and adjectives for your megafans who feel entertained by that, not by regular folk who have to open Wikipedia to consult the correspondence between codenames and numerical versioning every single irritating god dang time they have to interact with your software.

The name is just so idiotic. Imagine if Blender was called Open 3D Editor. Or Audacity was called Open Audio Player. No imagination, no energy to live, this comes straight from the desk of Toby from The Office. Even Vulkan which is meant for low level ubergeeks has a cool name, although it could have been called Open Multiplatform Graphics API, but they chose a name to excite people and make them interested in it and want to work with/for them. This Open 3D Engine is meant to attract corporate lawyers and handshakes and press releases like flies at the public toilet.
