Quoting: Boldos

Quoting: x_wingJust take a look on the number of people that are asking for CP2077 or Galaxy for Linux in GOG and you will see that they cannot have any doubt that a lot of Linux users shows their support but they don't give a fuck. "Keep buying so they notice us" just doesn't makes sense.

Can I please ask, where can this be found on GOG?

Quoting: Liam Daweif you have an AMD GPU and you don't mind grabbing the latest development code for the Mesa graphics drivers

Just as a heads up to people on Ubuntu and derivatives, no need for latest development code as it seems like Kisak's latest Mesa 20.3.0 stable packages include support for the VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type extension already, along with other useful backports. Hopefully this makes it easier for some of you to play CP2077.

The game looks cool, but I'm in the "there are enough Linux titles being released to keep me entertained" camp myself.

Quoting: tuubiIt does look enticing, but the "Multiplayer Online" bit will keep it off my wishlist. I suppose this is for the extroverts among us.

I think there's good online multiplayer somewhere out there, like there was polite deathmatch in Frozen Synapse.

I enjoyed hundreds of hours of (non-serious) Rocket League in short sessions back when it was still on Linux. But only teamed up with friends. And the Dirt Rally GOL League was fun for a long while, but there was no interaction with other players really, apart from the leaderboards.

Even the idea of online gaming—polite or not—feels stressful. Game-time is me-time, dammit! :tongue:

Quoting: denyasisQuestion for you. I'm new to SQL so this might be dumb. The problem I run into is that the editor needs to talk to OpenEdge... From the 90's... I think version 10?

If there's a working jdbc driver for it, DBeaver should be able to connect to it. Trying it out should only take a few minutes. Seems like this article [External Link] should help you with the configuration if there's no OpenEdge support out of the box.

our new Sql database might be a little old.

Ouch.

Quoting: EikeI got severe mouse (and keyboard, it seems) lag. System is strong enough. Tried lower resolution, 60 Hertz, Vsync on and off, fullscreen on and off. Anybody got an idea?

Did you try disabling AA and/or SSAO in game? I remember one or the other resulting in sluggish input in certain Unity games. Although that was back when my system was quite a bit weaker than yours. I guess you could try switching off your compositor as well.

Quoting: BielFPs

WindowsCodecs and QCap libraries converted to PE.

All of then?

I think this means the Wine implementations of windowscodecs.dll and qcap.dll. Not all codec libraries ever released on Windows, if that's what you're asking. :wink:

Quoting: slaapliedjeWith AMD you will always be chasing the latest mesa libs or kernel, because distrubutions don't chase AMD.

That sounds so dramatic, until you realise that on many popular distributions "chasing" means adding a repo and letting your update manager handle the rest. On rolling distros like Arch you're already running the latest and greatest so you're pretty much good to go. I'm on Mint, but I certainly don't spend any more time "chasing libs" than I spent chasing new Nvidia drivers back when I owned their hardware.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe open source ones tsnd to not perform as well, as noted earlier in this thread.

That's not generally true for AMD these days, according to benchmarks. There are exceptions of course, but gamers are usually better off with Mesa.

Personally I switched from AMD/ATI to Nvidia about 15 years ago, when fglrx was making my life miserable. But I don't see a reason to pick a camp and stick with it. No hardware vendor has earned my undying loyalty.

I've had less issues since I switched back to AMD after a few Nvidia GPUs that mostly just worked and that's enough to keep me here for now. Being dependent on one less proprietary piece of software is also nice.

Quoting: denyasisOn a side note, I'm all for compatibility, even if it is with a platform. I seriously would switch to Linux at my work if I could replace my SQL management programs and our GIS program.

Don't know about your GIS program, but DBeaver [External Link] does the job for me on the SQL front. And I think one co-worker runs HeidiSQL on top of Wine for some reason.

I had to install the newer v4l2loopback packages from Ubuntu 20.10 to fix the dkms build on 5.9 kernels on Mint, but otherwise the driver seems to work without issue. Didn't try OBS though. Just wanted to see if this works.
