Bethesda reveal the huge Starfield Free Lanes update and new Terran Armada DLC

I have Zero Trust left. Worst of all the Bethesda games, just taking resources away from TES 6 at this point. The only thing that has the slightest interest for me is being able to upgrade whatever weapon you find again and again to your level, that is very needed just like we could do with Geralts silver sword in Witcher 3. Also the quantuum esssence or whatever it's called being able to upgrade space dragon shouts has potential but well see. Game play, npcs, hell the story are just so bad i really could care less.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPDid they overhaul the combat by now?

The rest of the game seemed interesting, but holy crap was that combat awful.
I haven't treid the demo yet but i heard that is the case. I hope it gets better because i really want to love this game, i love the series. Boy oh Boy the acotr who played Tom Paris, his voice has certainly changed become much deeper, but its so great to see the orignal actors involved again.

Thank you veterans! I've never heard of gamescope but when i get a bit familiar ill check it out. It seems like new versions of cachyOS come out monthly? I'm going to reinstall frequently and keep my home folder on a different partition.

I'm going with cachyOS and KDE and btrfs.

Going to install this as my first Linux try this weekend. I can't wait still trying to figure out how to change the home folder location on a different drive. At least i know this

CachyOS - OS
KDE Plasma - Desktop
XFS - File System
Bootloader??? still looking into

this should be the fastest of the fast for gaming from the research i have looked at.

Thank you Pyretic, i didn't not know about the Fedora thing. I keep hearing about Ubuntu and Arch as well. I have a soundcard from EVGA and some beta drivers meant for ubuntu, is fedora and ubuntu compatible?

I'm one of those people. Really want to ditch Win10 for some Linux distro. Still choosing and a little intimidated to make the jump, i only care about squeezing linux for every frame fro gaming, gaming is all that matters to me, and being on linux while i do it. Any suggestions from the veterans around here?
