Quoting: appetrosyanA CPU core is a CPU core, and a thread is a logical Processor
... which, from a programmers perspective (where the term stems from!) is a crazy misnomer to begin with.

Quoting: liamdawePlease, for everyone's sanity - do not start an OS naming war.
What's even more stupid than an OS war?

...hey, how could you know before I told you?!?

Valve just put out another (smaller) Steam Play beta version

Quoting: StraToNI haven't done it, since this game is not officially supported, so I suppose I won't get any answer... but would I?
Probably better not. But you could post it in the forum, where other's might help... and the developers could see it.

Valve have updated Steam Play with the 3.16-1 beta based on Wine 3.16 and new DXVK

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesIt's Ubuntu 18.04. I assure you that I tried every possible thing I found on the internet and NOTHING worked. Not a big thing because I work every day so it's better not to play at all. :D I will just wait a little and reinstall the OS.
Wasn't there a bug and in the Ubuntu 18.04 Steam package? (Not the first time I got the impression installing Steam on Debian is easier than on Ubuntu...)

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesI tried it. It says that "this package has unmet dependencies". I give up... :huh:
Which distribution?
I'm sure we can help you.

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesYes, I installed that .deb downloaded from Steam. What is the other option?
To be mean: That's the Windows way.
The Linux way would be to use your distribution's package. They've got Valve's package, too, but may incorporate their knowledge about their distribution. Like... package dependencies.

NVIDIA have released the 410.57 driver as well as a 396.54.06 Vulkan beta driver to help DXVK

You're free to build PPAs at weekends.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI mean, this is 2018... In this specific industry, the working model where you go to an office and sit in front of a desk fulfilling other people's daily schedules, is obsolete and ineffective...
I disagree. My company is developing software in real offices, and looking each other in the face (and not an image of it transferred over the net) is an important part of the process. As is periodic free time, like weekends. And a place free from home distraction, at least for me. I've got two baby children, it is impossible for me to work at home.
If anybody tells you weekends are against progress, it's likely he wants to exploit you.

Linux market share on Steam now at a 16 month high after a rounding error was fixed

Quoting: Cyba.Cowboy~/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf

Search the file for the term "SurveyDate" and supposedly that's the last time the survey was run... But as I said, it claims on our computers it has been run, when in reality it has not.
Hm. Mine is under ~/.steam/steam/config/config.vdf
It contains...

"SurveyDateVersion" "3298391255500592656"
"SurveyDate" "2018-02-22"
"SurveyDateType" "2"
