"This is only my opinion"

Cordialy
Last time I tried Manjaro a random update broke GRUB, don't want to go back to that any time soon.
In the past (around 2-3 years ago) updates broke my system on Manjaro (probably an issue inherited from Arch), and Im still using it, because it has become very stable (and Im on the testing branch), not to mention their own tools than make it great and easy to use. Having said that, Artengos is a great choice as an OS, its just than the label of manjaro being unstable isnt fair anymore.

As a Manjaro + KDE user, I can say than I cant go back to an Ubuntu-based distro, there are so much flaws on ubuntu than are fixed on arch and derivates. And manjaro fixes some of the flaws of arch (and even artengos), but I will leave it just as a subjective opinion. Arch-based distros are the way to go definitely.

Something than I dislike of artengos is the web-based installer. That approach its just too slow. Other than that it looks good, its arch.

java isnt a bad thing, its a great language than its one of the most popular ones, but if devs wants to create GUIs with it, they should use JavaFX instead of Swing.

No linux-related answers, that makes me suspicious.

The open source Vulkan driver for AMD 'radv' now supports using multiple GPUs

Quoting: SamsaiWell, I do have an APU and a dGPU on my laptop. Maybe that will actually turn out well after all.
Once vulkan 1.1 is out, I want to see people being able to use the power of the iGPU + dGPU, that would be great, supposing than it would be possible at all. But considering than bumblebee doesnt even support vulkan, so.....

The new Lugaru campaing on overgrowth is a lot of fun (just a bit short), and they (wolfire games) are right now working on the main campaign of the game. Its a game than its worth to take a look, its very cool than they are working on their own engine. I like to play the game since there are a lot of mods, and it runs great on linux.

Related to Lugaru, I have played it more than 30 hours, the combat system is great, and now than its opensource there is no excuse to not try it.

We need a layer that makes vulkan as easy to use as metal, that will make many devs lo love it

Its great, Im not a fan of this game (I was never able to understand how to play civ5 lol). Hopefully many linux users will enjoy this game

Quoting: TuxeeI suppose I'm gonna buy it anyway, despite the fact that all I ever finished in Civ5 was the tutorial...
If you are not going to play it you're just throwing money to the trash.
