Yay, I was just thinking about sending them a heads up to get an update and then I see this.
Ethan Lee to put FNA into 'maintenance mode indefinitely' while working out a deal to work on Steam Play's Proton

Quoting: GuestAgreed, I think at this point Proton is the way to go simply to increase adoption rates. With adoption rates comes demand, and with demand comes financial justification to "actually" support linux.Quoting: ScooptaMaybe it's just me and maybe I'm just synical but I read this a little differently. I read this as a developer who has been actively working on porting games natively to Linux is now moving to proton which is the exact opposite of what I hope to see. Proton shouldn't replace native titles it should merely be a stop gap till we get more.Improvements in audio and .net support for windows games will trickle down to native ports as well.

Better .Net support would be HUGE for Wine, it's the bane of any linux user's winesperience. That and old windows kernel-level DRM, anyway.

Been playing with this for a little over an hour, and so far I've had very good results overall. I've only really tried older games so far (smaller downloads, this just came out after all).

The not great:
- Crazy Taxi: Loads, but crashes after pressing start.
- Chip's Challenge 1: Does not load at all. Not surprising, I seem to recall this game requiring .Net 4+.
- Learn Japanese To Survive Hiragana Battle: No graphics, it's possible desktop settings could fix this (compositor, etc). Plays blind w/ music.
The good:
- Dead Island Definitive Edition: Plays great, mouse is slow in the main menu.
The great:
- C&C Red Alert 3: Plays perfectly.
- Duke Nukem Manhatten Project: Plays "perfectly" with nixon quotes. Takes like 30 seconds for the window to show, THEN plays perfectly. I'm not sure if it does this in windows too.
- Sam & Max Season 1 Ep 2, Situation Comedy: Plays perfectly.

It's just copyright law, they have to defend it whether it's competing or not unfortunately.

I'm going to take a completely random stab at this and guess that it's related to which compositor is in use. The ones that use acceleration tend to cause input problems in OpenGL games.

Seems a little steep on price, though Intel NUCs are always on the expensive side -- and this one blows them out of the water, so pricing in that sense is about right.
Pair this with Kodi (formerly XBMC) and you'd have a pretty slick HTPC.

My favorite horror-thriller is definitely the movie Event Horizon for several reasons. My not-yet girlfriend wanted to watch a scary movie with me way back then for obvious teenage reasons. It was the scariest movie I'd ever seen at the time, so I figured why not give her a thrill. We've been married for 10 years, and it took almost as long for her to even watch Jurassic Park again because of Event Horizon (Sam Neill). Interestingly, I found out just a few months ago that my dad won't even watch Event Horizon, because he can't sleep if he does.
Honestly, I have it on my shelf and love the story about the movie more then the movie itself. I've never watched my blu-ray of it, and I'm not sure I ever will.
