Beyond a Steel Sky gets a big upgrade with newer Vulkan support
3 May 2021 at 10:47 am UTC

I have this game, and it's great. But unforunatly I have a gf660 and in some places goes "slow". I will try this with the new update if it goes faster.
But droping opengl support it's bad, we should be able to choose the rendering engine.
I didn't know that Vulkan ES existed. I only know Opengl ES.

I would like a copy also. It will be slow (with my gf660), but it's a great game. I'll will buy when I can buy a better graphic card.

It will be a "problem" for my gf660. Hope I can find a decent gpu at good price in 2 days :cry: .
Well... I'll add to the wish list and buy it when I could play.

Linux hardware vendor System76 introduces the Thelio Mira desktop
15 Mar 2021 at 12:47 pm UTC

Quoting: KohlyKohlReplaced my Thelio order with this. Bigger case and open hardware certification is worth the extra $.
Adding a cupple of options it goes 3000-4000$. It could be good being open hardware, but what we need for the linux desktop are good prices. People that wants to pay that much has already apple.

Quoting: KohlyKohlAMD hardware is great but their drivers are below average. I wish they could fix their drivers so I could finally move away from NVidia.
If you use mesa, it seems that has been improving in recent years.
And look the performance on the new cards on linux.

Well... The last linux can run on a n64, I can understand that it can run on a slowed down gamecube.
That's for Perseverance, I think Ingenuity uses something else. Specifically a Snapdragon 801, which has Krait CPU cores (i.e arm). Not sure about the rest of the specs.
True. https://www.zdnet.com/article/to-infinity-and-beyond-linux-and-open-source-goes-to-mars/ [External Link] But it seems even slower? (Sure it's an error).
"the helicopter's processor board is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 running at 500 Hz, not MegaHertz, Hertz."
