Valve has boosted their Linux ranks by hiring another developer to work on open source graphics
11 February 2018 at 2:06 pm UTC
OpenCL has worked out of the box for like forever on the prop stack tbh, oss opencl stack works fine too admittedly not as quick as the prop stack.

Vega is a little different due to ROCm .

Vulkan was sketchy I admit, now works fine, currently playing doom through wine with Vulkan.

The cuda bit is obvious, if you need it, NV only, but lets be honest here, it the sole reason why NV came up with it is? Vendor Lockin! It's no different to DX from MS

The choice you do have however is the software you use though. Buying software that uses cudu only does not help and only strengthens vendor lockin for instance

Edit:

Just to point out, the argument regards cuda is kinda moot based on the fact the very site you are discussing this on has GAMING ON LINUX in the title. Plus I would dare say the vast majority of uses here are gamers due to the nature of the content. Be a good metric for liam to include in the PC stats mind.

If it was renderingonlinux you would have a case :P

Quoting: GrazenHere is a link discussing WCOS:

Note that WCOS is not Windows S.
That is hilarious. They're literally selling... Linux. The Linux paradigm. All the best Linux features. (Closed platform bits aside) Brilliant.

That's exactly what I think!

Agreed, To me it looks like MS are going to make a Win distro basically.

Thing is though, My existing thrusmaster F430 wheel was supported in F1 2015 + others, In F1 2017 it is not. I refuse to buy another wheel as there is no guarantee that this will be supported in upcoming titles !

/end rant

Side note, You suck with a wheel just as much as with a controller:P

I feel like I should chip in and say something, But!

I really don't give a **** what Microsoft do tbh. Unfortunately the vast majority of the user base will allow them to do as they please like normal. Yes a few will scream but ultimately will cede to MS will

The small number of us that are aware of what they are doing will make no difference in the end.

And before every jumps on me and says "but you should care..blah, blah"

I DON'T CARE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately!

Quoting: scaineSo we're all "entitled brats" for using Linux? Even if we are, I like to think this readership is above belittling others for their views.

As for a reputation of not paying our way, that's because Linux is free, not because a percentage of Linux users oppose DRM. Either way, it's long refuted by the HiB sales and irrelevant when you're throwing insults around.

Seriously! Is that what you took from my post Please re read what I posted!
