This engine was probably the best thing which came out of amazon game studios yet ;-).

But wasn't it based upon the crytek engine? I wonder how they could relicense it to Apache.

I thought the launcher login below the news was intentional bad design by SE to fit with th bad design of the rest of their websites ;-).

I spend my time in Horizon: Zero Dawn at the moment. Really enjoy the game, and runs great on Proton.

Next will probably be God of War.

Quoting: melkemind

Quoting: TheRiddickI might need to switch to a NVIDIA card since I just found out my AMD card is not ALLOWED to do HDMI2.1.
I was running ycb420 this whole time thinking it was RGB, lmao.

The HDMI2.1 standard needs more open minded people running the show!

Isn't the plan for Nvidia to eventually replace their proprietary driver with the open source one, and if so, wouldn't that put you in the same boat?

Actually, the Nvidia open source driver DOES implement HDMI FRL (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/blob/main/src/nvidia-modeset/src/nvkms-hdmi.c#L2064 [External Link]).

This is legally more than questionable. I don't know if that slipped through when putting the drivers open source, or if they had some legal agreement with the HDMI Forum... but that well could end up in court.

Quoting: Eike...is Ukraine historically a thing in the first place?!?

I feel slightly uncomfortable to be quoted this way. I have just been reiterating what Putin was saying.

Can understand that, a bit out of context to be sure. Will remedy that, though, my comment was to that context and not to the whole reply.

Quoting: EikeThat's strange, because Mr. Putin said that it would be about nazis, ah no, drugs, no, one moment, protecting Russians in East Ukraine, ah, is Ukraine historically a thing in the first place?!? ....

Historically speaking Russia would have to join Ukraine and not the other way around. The "Rus" were originally the northeners (Swedish, Danes, Finns, Norwegians) who settled in and around Kiew. This is where the "Rus" were governed from.

Originally the region was inhabited by the Pechenegs, who were a turkish normadic tribe, and who knows who was there before those. So the Turks could throw in their claim to the country too if we are at historical claims...

Can you buy that and just unlock the DLCs if you have some of them?

I have about half the DLCs, but the rest struck me sometimes as too heavy.

I switched to Gnome after 24 years of KDE for it's simply more polished in Fedora, while the KDE spin is good, I like the Gnome Workstation better. Though, Gnome without extensions is pretty much unusable for me, while KDE ships most of that out of the box (tray icons, audio device handling, or in general audio handling).

KDE has long standing bugs especially in display handling which put me off in the end. They are either in the 15 minute bugs or even higher priorized, and if I saw it correctly the one which annoyed me most got fixed in this release (had this issue since 2018).

I may switch back one day. I really have a soft spot for KDE, but I am fine enough with Gnome for now.

Quoting: GuestSadly I still can't get the FFXIV launcher to work; both Proton Experimental and the latest GE crash as soon as I try to log in.

I really had to set up a clean prefix for that crash to disappear after I used XIVLauncher and GE 6.21 for a while now.

I like Budgie, but I do not see myself switching back to it from Gnome any time soon. I really got used to the workflows in Gnome by now.
