the art direction seems great but...
the video is too edgy, i mean, oh no, some one blew up the white house!
it would be an great premisse if i didnt saw it 1000 times before, now i cant take it serious.

and so on...

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: elmapulhell, even microsoft is doing some nice inovative stuff, directX 12 came before vulkan was a thing.

I don't remember it being quite like that. Didn't they kind of get developed/specified around the same time? DX12 might have been officially released before Vulkan was quite finalized, but it was all happening about the same time and basically drawing on the same ideas, which were being developed mostly in public.

the ideas are the same, because the hardware is the same, and its about being low level, not about building a lot of libraries on top of the hardware, so i think its natural to come to the same conclusions, but i dont know much about low level programing, nor about the development being public.
i dont know if the khronos group is something akin to w3c with public proposals that get adopted by the browser vendors in different speeds or what, what i do know is that the gaming market try to squeze every little bit of performance from the hardware and microsoft was the first to offer an solution in that regard, wich gave then a big advantage, or maybe their product was adopted by more companies due to the windows marketshare.
maybe mobile games use vulkan and it can be argueed that more developers chose vulkan than dx12, but while mobile gamers are an bigger and more profitable market, they suck in general (almost all are pay to win gacha games) so i dont count then really as gaming...

i'm not into distro hopping anymore, can someone benchmark this and see if it make a huge difference?
i dont have free space or HDD's avaliable to test myself.

anyway, this tech dont seem impresssive, i'm a bit tired of seing huge improvments in the proprietary software world, and gimmicks on the free one.
dont get me wrong, blender and godot are amazing, but i'm still not convinced that an new desktop enviroment is nescessary and will help linux grow instead of just fragment.
sometimes it seems like we are just reinventing the whell and "stealing" money from other distros instead of developing some real tech
compare lumen /nanite from unreal engine to this, what have the bigger potential to be an game changer?
some "rocket science" algorithms to allow an "unlimited" ammount of polygons to be rendered on screen in real time, with another "cutting edge" tech to make lights ingame feel almost as good as raytracing without the processing cost of raytracing in scenes with that ammount of polygons...

meanwhile we get hyped at stuff like "automatically seting your cpu to performance mode when you gonna game" or "automatically seting priorities straight for processes"
hell, even microsoft is doing some nice inovative stuff, directX 12 came before vulkan was a thing.

i know system 76 is not as big as epic or microsoft, the question is, maybe the path for linux to go foward is, using the money that can only be gained by selling proprietary software and using it to fund open source, like what valve is doing funding wine/proton, vulkan, mesa, futex, etc.

i know this leave an sour taste on our mouth, the question is "the goals justify the means"
and an philosofical discussion i would like to propose:
if we give up having many stores to rely only on steam and stuff that work well with lutris/heroic, because those work well with linux , we are giving up part of or "freedom"
if we give up on the ability to change the wallpaper as canonical was proposing with ubuntuphone to try to convince oems to adopt the system (aka seling the consumers wallpaper as an place to put brand adivertise )
we give up having many tools, like tools to make mods (eg: custom maps for an specific game)
give up using floss drivers because the proprietarys are better.

and so on... at some point we end up with less freedom than on windows...

sigh...
sorry for the confusing comment, i cant formulate phrases in english right now.

did they improve their emulator? the last time i checked it was an piece of shit.

i'm not talking about how accurate it played the game, but the usability in general.

that reminds me of the old days:


this game support rumble pack , this game support/require memory card.

" this game suport trading cards, this game support dynamic cloud sync"

its a hack or uplay has some official api? i hope ubisoft/epic dont break thirdy party apps on purpose.
" lots of different emulators and more."
i will pass for emulators, i already use retro arch for it, having 2 solutions would only make things confusing.

do lutris work with controller?

retro arch updated while i was gaming on it (i think i have an snap version?) some features broke and i end up not being able to play at some point...

i hat to quit the game without saving then when i opened retro arch again, i figure out it got an new bug:
if i toggle fullscreen/window mode the gamepad stop working and i have to disconnect/reconnect it to work again...

Quoting: JpxsonI think most developers will enable it, it's just a question if they do it now or wait until it starts costing them money not too.

yeah but its a chicken and egg problem...
or people might just install windows...
