The popular Arch-based distro CachyOS gets a new release with a significantly reworked installer

very nice! At some point this winter / spring I'll probably wipe my system and start over with a fresh cosmic install of Cachy. I'm on gnome Cachy now and love it, but really want to use the cosmic de, and now that it's out of beta I think it'll be a good time to do so.

what exactly is going on over at nexus mods....? Sheesh. Seems to be just random thrashing about of ideas and decisions that make no sense...?

Ubisoft implementing cost-reduction restructuring, cancelling various games and closing studios

Yves Guillemot must have some serious dirt on someone somewhere to still remain in charge of this "company" if you can even call it that at this point. "Stinking rotting carcass that long ago resembled a function entity" ... maybe that's more apt?

Is his nepo baby son still in charge of any number of their subsidiaries? Probably.

Marathon from Bungie is out March 5th - likely unplayable on SteamOS Linux

Quoting: Strapinski
Quoting: JarmerNobody from the Bungie glory days are still around. The suits are running the show, and when this doesn't get instahit status, which it won't, they'll shut it down.

Nothing to see here, just a shambling corpse. Safe to move on.
Do you know where they went? I really played the game a lot and I still like many aspects of it. But over the last few years, you could just tell how little art, story, etc., mattered anymore. It became all about grabbing cash. But I’d at least be interested in seeing what the talented people who used to be at Bungie have put together now.
If we're talking the og Marathon, Myth, Halo, Oni ... the vast majority of those hyper talented people are either retired or dead. There are still a few I think related to some modern companies but not a lot. I don't even know if any originals are at 343 anymore.

The Microsoft acquisition (and then after that all the other garbage stuff with netease and sony etc) pretty much destroyed the company. There was no going back after the mass exodus from that era / layoffs.

^ Exactly. I'm just glad the whole crypto bubble has popped and nft's died a horrible death, so at least we won't get that nonsense. But with AI ... oof. Has he stated if he's using it either way?

Even more AMD ray tracing performance improvements heading to Mesa on Linux

Love this improvement! I'm going to do an Avowed replay after they release all the dlc / expansions / patches / etc... so probably at the end of the year maybe? Or next year? By then mesa should have a TON of raytracing improvements and my 9070xt can run with it all turned up. Should be gorgeous. It was already gorgeous when I played it on my 6800xt with no RT.
