Quoting: 1xokHow is raytracing actually implemented in the Linux version of Quake2 or is it switched off there? Can anyone comment on this?

Mesa drivers 20.0.0 released, NVIDIA also have a small Vulkan driver update out
20 Feb 2020 at 10:26 pm UTC

Quoting: tuxintuxedoJust to let others know. I use Kisak's ppa and updated Mesa recently to 20.0. There was an error with the update at the end saying it couldn't install or uninstall something. With Synaptic, the broken packages were repaired easily, some new packages needed to be installed related to it.
Yeah, seems like Kisak messed up a bit. A simple apt install -f in the terminal fixes it as well.

Quoting: PangaeaDon't know when kernel 5.4 or 5.5 will hit my Mint distro, or if that fixes it, but I hope it does.
You could try installing Ubuntu's mainline 5.5 with Ukuu to see whether it fixes your issue.

People who can only have fun at the expense of others do not deserve to have fun. Efficient systems to curb shitty behaviour in communities, online or not, are welcome. I have no idea if this particular system will do any good, but I guess that remains to be seen.

Quoting: slaapliedjemuch like Glide is a wrapper for the 3Dfx API into OpenGL
Just a little nitpick: While there are several wrappers, Glide is actually the name of the 3Dfx API itself.
