What a relief, I'm glad it won't die. It looks like a gorgeous game. I want to try it out, but after my experience with getting The Long Dark in very early access and running out of things to do very quickly, I was put off with the idea of jumping in when there was nothing to do yet. Or paying that much for a game that might never have enough content to be interesting.
Definitely keeping an eye on that one.

Quoting: MalDo we have a benchmark? How faster does this one mine compared to the old model? :huh:

According to LinusTechTips, around 5% with games. Only a second or two faster Blender renders. So basically, crumbs for +600 MSRP.

Really thankful to all of the people who work on making Lutris better.

That's the kind of device I dreamed about having as a kid. One day when someone refines a product like this and it costs less than a scalped GPU, I'll be first in line. (Debatable that will happen, but I can dream.)

Oooh, I do hope this helps occasional input lag/hiccups with my drawing tablet, even though it appears they're focusing on implementing this with Wayland... maybe those improvements will trickle down to the rest of us. =) (Or I dual-boot a Wayland distro to use for digital painting?) 80% of the reason I switched to Linux was to flee the hellscape that is Windows Ink/input problems, and this would be just one more cherry on top of the Linux sundae.

Quoting: Liam DaweShame, seems to load up just fine here on Arch.

Figured it out. The launcher was doing janky things. Had two versions of the full release - one listed as Latest Snapshot 1.18 (what the launcher selected automatically when I opened it) and Latest Release 1.18. Deleted the folder for 1.18 in .minecraft/versions, restarted for good measure, and made sure it was on Latest Release in the drop-down next to the launch button. Works perfect again. (Don't know how that was also messing up older versions?) I feel kinda dumb now but I was just using what the launch defaulted to.

I know the comments probably aren't for tech issues but I thought I'd leave a note for anyone else that might run in to this and not know what to do. :smile:

I was playing the pre-release last night but now the official release won't launch because of a GLFW OpenGL error... So I tried reverting back to pre-release4 and started getting the same error. Apparently this is not a new issue with Linux and Minecraft updates. I tried updating everything the internet threw at me but I guess I'm just not techie enough to understand.
Hope others have a better go with it, or Mojang fixes it soon. =(
