Cool. Native Linux builds tend to be lacking in basic features and far buggier in general, so I always default to Proton anyway. As long as they properly test for parity, all good. Contributing upstream to Proton development would be even better

I did buy the Aveum bundle then refunded immediately cos EA. We can indeed only hope.

This one is worth it for Dredge and 1000x, though I am tempted to wait until they drop it down to £6

Quoting: Klaas

Quoting: Purple Library Guyif you use Windows or Mac, you use the single DE that comes with it

I'm not sure, but I think there have been 3rd party replacement shells (is that the right term?) for Windows before.

Sort of, but those (as far as I recall) were all hacks rather than fully legit options. And if they broke, you were stuffed.

Only Linux offers a range of officially supported environments that you can more or less freely choose between, all of them for real usable and stable

BLACKTAIL is a really good game, but I strongly recommend following a guide to turn all the visual effects off. They made a gorgeous world then covered the camera with every flavour of vaseline they could find

An incredibly rare bundle in which I have none of the games, actively want a couple of them, and they're all superb.
Sold.

Quoting: deathxxxThis ray-tracing is just useless. Heavy drop performance for what?
Are someone care about ray-tracing? If you play game, do you look at ray-tracing? Or look other things, like how to keep alive?

It depends overwhelmingly on the game. Control remains by far the best example I've seen where RT really does radically change how it feels to play, and the improvement is vast. I still enjoyed it with RT off, but on was frequently mind-blowing and 100% worth the performance hit (which eased considerably with each mesa-git release)

Quoting: KROMHopefully with the next Proton Experimental, but I guess GloriousEggroll will be first.

I finally got a new graphics card capable of ray-tracing and restarted Cyberpunk with patch 2.0, only to find out that RT will crash my computer *sadpanda*

Same. But I also found RT tanked performance for very little observable improvement. The in-engine lighting is so damned good it barely matters. Unlike, eg, Control where RT on is a *completely* different experience

my bedroom art studio runs on a Pi 4, which ... struggles. This is an auto-buy.
Only downside is losing the 3.5mm jack, as I use a soundbar
