SteamVR Beta gets some improvements for Linux

Wow, maybe I can get on with VR on Linux now. It broke for me on Plasma Wayland some months ago and I had to cave in and buy a small, cheapo SSD only to put Windows and VR games on.... I've been connecting it when I want to play VR and removing it when I'm done, but it's a hassle.

Quoting: constwipeout hd/fury for PS3 has become my wipeout of choice. Is any of the available clones close to that gameplay feel?
Nope, none. BallisticNG, Pacer, Redout, none of them even come close to how great Pulse/HD feels. Not even with BallisticNG's other handling types.

I've been playing every game in the WipEout series since the first game as a kid, and HD/2048's feel are my favourites. They just improved with every entry.

RIP Psygnosis 🫡 Sony did em dirty.

Would totally get this if it had a numpad and Scandi layout! Looks rad. I make heavy use of my numpad every day, and an add-on USB numpad just won't cut it. Muh numbers!!

Nice!! I had originally kept an eye on the original Comet from some three-four years ago, gonna give this a shot as soon as I can.

Mesa graphics drivers 23.1.0 out now with RADV GPL enabled

It's been 3000 years...

(Seriously though, GPL is awesome, it really does help performance. I've been using it for a few months already by default and the improvement is noticeable on an RX 6700 XT)

Discord username system changing to make it easier to find people

Quoting: KimyrielleAm I the only one actually liking the #1234 system?
Nope, I much prefer it, not to mention how this is going to cause a lot of username squatting and selling. There's a big pushback against this change on places like the Fediverse and Tumblr (1) [External Link] (2) [External Link].

Plus, they seem to be working on a (rancid) re-design of the mobile app [External Link].

All while still making it against ToS to fix the issue yourself, by making your own client or modifying the proprietary client.

I hope Revolt [External Link] gains some traction when it's more developed, open and optional self-hosting, while being more approachable than XMPP and Matrix for the less tech-savvy :tongue:

At long last, Final Fantasy XI can play the intro movie. It barely feels real.

Quoting: Toploaderit was never a profitable thing in the past, just more a passion project to keep our games native Linux
Right on. Mad respect. Played this game when I was far too young to do so. Thank you for getting me into so much trouble. It was worth it.

Quoting: ridgeeBy the way, how did you install the beta on Arch? AUR? I don't see version 5.27 even in the KDE-Unstable repo.
It's in KDE-Unstable, but Plasma beta versions use "X.X.90" versioning, so 5.27 beta is 5.26.90, and will get bumped to 5.27 when released.
