Over a hundred bugfixes, including several notorious 20-year-old bugs

I'd love that, as a software developer!

Quoting: EikeDid anybody succeed in making Riptide run natively on Nvidia?

I used the same launch options than for Dying Light because the artifacts were the same and it works.

 
__GL_IGNORE_GLSL_EXT_REQS=1 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%

Thanks! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Which driver version are you using?

Sorry for the false hope then… I use the last stable 535.146.02 on 6.1.0-17.

Thanks for trying to help! The latest driver Debian is offering (on "experimental even") is 535.54.03, so I guess I'll save the launch option in Steam and revisit the game later.

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaHey! I had already figured out my workaround for Tekken. Now it comes already fixed. What am I supposed to do? Actually play now?

Silly ElamanOpiskelija. Linux users don't play games. They just tinker with getting them running.

So, pretty much like any PC game modders

Modding games is for wimps. We're modding operating systems!

I've been playing Opus Magnum. Wanted to use the Deck, but the controls don't work out for larger machines/programs.

Quoting: Liam DaweEither way right now, there's simply no plugin available I can see for Chart JS to add a different type. For now, it serves the simple purpose of showing number go up or down over existing data.

Have upgraded Chart JS anyway, and now I have a new plugin added to enable showing special data points that you might spot...

Can we start the trend line at a different point (without hiding the actual data before, which still is interesting)? I'd use like July 15, 2021, announcement of Steam Deck, which clearly changed things.

Quoting: EikeI don't want to predict, nor did I say so.

That's what fitting the data to a curve is.

I guess we found the misunderstanding. Of course, I wouldn't extrapolate this into the future. Nobody forces us to do that.

I want to describe what has happened.

That's what the trend line does.

As said and shown - not for like half of the curve.

The trend has changed, can we agree on that?

No, you aren't. You just don't like being told that your chuffing stupid idea is chuffing stupid.

You can fit those data points to an exponential curve. You can fit those points to a polynomial curve. You can fit those points to a sinusoidal curve. Absolutely none of those curves provide a model that has any predictive power to define the relationship between the date and what proportion of Steam users will be sampled using Linux, nor the proportion that would be sampled using Mac or Windows. It's just pointless fappery.

I don't want to predict, nor did I say so. I want to describe what has happened.

Quoting: CatKillerThe trend is upwards, just like it's upwards for Windows and downwards for Mac. As shown by the trend line.

The trend is upwards - but it wasn't for years. Half of the curve looks quite constant to me. If you're thinking that describing a constant function by an upward trend line is appropriate, I'm asking for sources for this. Derogatory terms don't convince me, by the way.

The point of this is that something has happened, somewhere in 2021, which had and still has quite some impact on Linux for gaming adoption, and is showing in the numbers since then.

The trend has changed. That's what the trend line is missing.

Quoting: EikeIn my humble opinion, everybody with a bit of a mathematical heart should feel their toe nails roll up on the graphics.

It's a shame that you don't understand the concept of a trend line, but I'm not your statistics teacher.

I have to brag here: My statistics professor wanted to make me his tutor while I was still visiting his lectures.

But feel free to show me what supports you, e.g. from here:
