Quoting: g000hSorry, but I didn't like the driving mechanics at all. Played for 5 minutes, couldn't stay on the track with any decent speed. I've played Redout under Proton, and that plays much better than this. Uninstalled the free demo.

Might as well be comparing SuperTuxKart to Dirt Rally. Not saying you shouldn't have your preference, but these games have very little in common. One aims for a realistic driving model while the other is pure arcade.

Quoting: NanobangIs iwd even open source?

I love Ubuntu, but gawds it makes me crazy sometimes.

It wouldn't have a damn git repo on kernel.org if it wasn't open source, now would it? Took like ten seconds to check.

The reason there hasn't been much debate about this is because iwd is simply better than wpa_supplicant, and the only question is if it's ready for prime time. That's why Canonical is looking for feedback. Note that this isn't a Canonical project. They've had their NIH moments, but this isn't one of them.

Check out the iwd wiki [External Link] for more info unless you'd rather just shout at Canonical to get off your lawn. ;)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMint is currently the Mandrake to Ubuntu. Time will tell whether they can hang on a bit better than Mandrake did; I certainly hope so, and things seem all right so far.

I don't think the comparison is fair. Mandrake directly competed with Red Hat, selling enterprise desktop and server versions of the distribution, whereas Mint's plans seem very different [External Link]. (Entirely funded by donations, sponsoring and advertisement. No interest in competing in the corporate/server space.)

Also, I think Mandriva still lives in some form. The company I mean. No idea what they do, but probably some sort of enterprise support deals. And although Mandriva as a Linux distribution is dead, Mageia [External Link] is a community-run fork that seems to be doing okay, if not quite as well as Mint.

Quoting: scaineI'm gonna upgrade to Mint 20 today and retry some of my bullet points to see if I can solve them. I might switch from OIBAF to the Steam ACO branch too, to see if that helps.

Steam's ACO repo/branch is quite a bit behind Mesa master these days and there's no PPA available for Ubuntu 20.04. All the work seems to go into upstream Mesa now, and ACO will actually be the default compiler in the upcoming Mesa 20.2 release.

I like Kisak's PPA [External Link] myself. That's what I've been running with my 5700 XT. Latest stable Mesa with a bunch of patches and backports. New Mesa versions tend to be available very soon after release.

Quoting: PatolaWho cares about visuals. Graphics don't matter, it could be just as good if it were a Pixel Graphics game. Right? :tongue:

You probably think you have a point? I don't think you do.

I enjoy games with pixel graphics. And some games with no graphics at all. But racing sims like DRAG are better off striving for realism and immersion.

It's perfectly possible to be a fan of more than one style of game. If you are not, that's fine.

Quoting: MohandevirBetween my GTX960 and GTX1660 Super, I briefly had an MSI Armor RX 580... It's been the best experience, all round, driver and performance wise, but did that thing was heating/noisy?! The cooling system failed after 6 months.

It made me mistrustful of AMD GPUs, but I was convinced, by more experienced GoL AMD users, to give Sapphire a shot... I'm looking forward to a Sapphire Pulse RDNA2 GPU, atm... Probably what will replace the actual RX 5600 XT. :wink:

The MSI Armor RX 580 OC was the noisiest GPU I've ever owned, and one of the fans died after less than a year of use. I swear I'll never trust MSI again.

My current Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT is nice and quiet.

Quoting: NasraAnyone have this issue with RadeonSi driver with a navi card (RX5500XT) ?

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3323 [External Link]

I haven't seen any visual corruption in OpenGL games/apps with my RX 5700XT, if that helps. I'm using Kisak's Mesa packages as well.

Seeing as the 5500XT is a slightly more recent chip, maybe try upgrading your kernel? Plenty of Navi fixes have gone in since Linux 5.4. Mainline [External Link] makes it easy to try Ubuntu's mainline kernels if Pop!_OS doesn't provide one.

Quoting: Alm888I am forced to use self-compiled vanilla WINE (because Fedora does not provide me that option). So, addition of DXVK as a base Fedora package only complicates things more for me.

In case you're interested, WineHQ provides an official repository [External Link] for Fedora builds.

Quoting: scaineI also loved, although never completed, the meta-puzzles of the island. There are optional puzzles you can do in each area, which cause physical effects outside of that areas boundaries. Like, one I did caused a laser/ray to shine outside of its play area, over another play area. I think the intention is that you could then use that laser/ray in that new area to cause yet another effect in another area. The love and attention to detail is astounding.

Some of the optional puzzles do require using lasers from more than one puzzle creatively. I really enjoy this sort of stuff in games.

Quoting: fleskEDIT: It seems like the additional 10% discount is only applied if you bought Broken Sword 5 from Steam, and not if you got a key for backing the Kickstarter campaign. I'm not sure if that's working as intended or not, but for me it's totally worth it anyway for a game I've been wanting to play for years.

I see 20% in store, but the extra discount is applied in cart. Final price is 20.99€ for me. My BS5 came in the Humble Classics Return Bundle, so buying from Steam shouldn't be a requirement.

I won't buy this yet, but I definitely will when I've played through some of the adventure games in my backlog.
