I cancelled 2 months ago, and I am happier for it. Was getting so many games that I have no real interest or time to play, and had to justify to myself that maybe I will play them at some point. Made me feel stressed about not being able to keep up.

To be honest, the difference does not look as striking as with Quake 2. I think this shows just how good the "fake" lighting can look if done right. :grin:

Quoting: iskaputtVery exciting, looking forward to try futex2 in a couple of games.

How does one try it out? Does it need to be enabled in some way?

A look at the top 100 Steam games on Linux - January 2022 edition

Quoting: rustybroomhandle76%? Not good enough, it must be 100% or Linux fails! FAILS!

I see Linux as equivalent of console gaming. If you buy a PlayStation, you do not expect to be able to run XBox games. In the same way I fully realize that when running Linux I will not be able to play all Windows games, and that is fine.

The latest Call of Warfare does not run on Linux? Well, I am an adult with a full-time job, and a several hundred games backlog on Steam. By the time I will have time to even consider playing it, Call of Warfare 4 will be out, and I will still have hundreds of other games to choose from.

Collabora's work on a Wayland driver for Wine is coming along nicely

Hi there. Thanks for the detailed answer.

Quoting: MershlRegarding your mouse handling experience, are you using a GNOME desktop?

I am.

The issue I am referring to is something else though. The mouse pointer is either invisible or is always rendered at the center of the screen, and does not represent where the mouse is actually pointing. In either case it is perfectly smooth, just makes it impossible to play any game where you need the mouse to navigate the menus.

Observed in The Witcher 1 and Aliens vs. Predator (2010) with GNOME Wayland on amdgpu drivers.

Is there any build of Proton with this included? I tried switching to Wayland, and erything just felt a bit smoother. However weird mouse handling issues in Proton forced me to go back to Xorg.

SteamOS for the Steam Deck gets slimmed down to 10GB
16 Dec 2021 at 12:43 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: TermyDoes anyone know what the hell they are including to make it that big? Even with several proton-versions preinstalled it shouldn't get up to 10GB, let alone 24.

Was wondering the same. I have a system next to me right now that is running a pretty standard, albeit minimal GNOME desktop, and it is using 5G of disk space.
