Is gaming on par with other distros yet?

With Cosmic? Probably not, but the stable branch sure is.

Well, Cosmic is only in Alpha at the moment and it is just a desktop environment. System 76 is testing it on an Ubuntu 24.04 base.

I agree with wytrabbit. Pop!_OS (the stable branch), IMO, is one of the better Ubuntu-based distributions for gaming. It is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

I have the GOG version. The Native Linux version doesn't seem to have made it to that platform yet.

:sad:

I'm not a Bazzite user, but, as I understand it from the article, you would need to install the Bazzite Beta from ISO to test the new Nvidia support. It's not available in Bazzite Stable.

I still dream of seeing an AMD APU hardware configuration like this in a laptop form factor, with at least a 14" or 15" screen. The controller inputs could be managed with an external USB controller of user's choice.

Unfortunately, doing it the right way costs more money than user anti-cheat on people's computers, so companies will continue doing the latter and blaming left and right when they see fit.

You're right. Like Liam said, they go for the "easy low-hanging fruit," in more ways than one.

I've mentioned before that I don't care for online multiplayer games, so anti-cheat doesn't really affect me. That being said, I do have a problem with game developers thinking that they can host their anti-cheat solutions on my hardware. Dealing with the cheating is their problem, not mine -- as such, whatever solution they choose to employ should be hosted on their hardware, not mine.

I CANNOT WAIT for this ai bubble to burst

Count me in too!

At least AMD is making it easy to identify which processors to avoid with their naming structure ...

Funny. Even though I know that these AAA games will never run on my hardware (and I am not upgrading), I watch the trailers anyway. My first thought, when I watched the Ghost of Tsushima trailer, was that this looks more like it should be a movie than a game. Would probably make a great anime, if it is done right.

Horizon Zero Dawn had the same feel for me.

What engine is this on?

According to PCGamingWiki, Unity.

Looks like you need Windows to run their firmware updater.

Doesn't really boost my confidence in this manufacturer. Develop for a machine that only ships with Linux but the support utilities for their product require Windows. Really?

:unsure:
