Quoting: dmantioneIf you look at Feral, they never get specific what is wrong on AMD's side. They just point the finger.

I see the difference. I always felt like this was meant as less finger-poniting, not more. But yes, it's nice to have concrete public information about problems. Might help others, too.

Quoting: dmantioneThere is nothing beta about the OpenGL implementation in AMDGPU-PRO, so if they intend to support that, there is nothing that stops them doing that right now. Unless they depend on very recent bug-fixes, that will automatically bring Catalyst support on the table as well.

So if I answer your question what I want: Support (or fixes?) for AMDGPU-PRO.

Here's one of their statements about AMD drivers and their games:

Quoting: tmtvlWhat about people who installed plain Ubuntu and afterwards installed the superior Plasma DE themselves?

I wonder how many would have installed Kubuntu in the first place. I'm changing DEs without reinstalling as well, though. That's why I have no entry at desktop at the moment BTW: I'm still wondering if I stay with KDE or move to Cinnamon (after... a decade or so?).

Quoting: TacoDeBossI'm trying to learn some programming so when the mod comes out, I *might* be able to port it to Linux, since they're open-sourcing the code and maps.

Cool, good luck!

Quoting: TacoDeBossNot that this wasn't a pain either. Half-Life 1 and Xash3D are 32-bit code meaning I have to chroot into a 32-bit Debian partition if I want to compile either.

Maybe cross-compiling (amd64->i386) could be useful here?
(If not, VirtualBox makes it really easy to work with VMs...)

Quoting: TacoDeBossYeah, it's pretty disappointing. I would move back to Windows and give up the fight, but since I've started getting into programming, that's not an option. Not about to go from using Gedit and make to edit and run code for FREE to trying to pirate Visual Studio because you have to be a millionaire to buy it.

I will not tell you there's a free edition of Visual Studio - or that VS is the best IDE I've ever tried.
No, I won't, because I want you to use Linux!

Quoting: burnallIn general, other platforms have grown much faster. Except minor exception for ox x this time.

The percentage of Linux on Steam is about the same for quite some time now, while Steam user count is growing fast. So obviously, Linux and Windows (didn't look at Mac) are growing with the same pace on Steam.

Quoting: burnallI'm sorry but big publishers won't get convinced by those numbers.

... but I fear you're right here.

In all honesty, the figure is likely around the correct number going by the sales statistics I often see from developers.

So Linux and other builds are released the same day?
I didn't watch Unity lately, is this usual these days?
