Quoting: aristoriasLinux users should boycott nVIDIA since AMD shows great Open Source engagement.

I wouldn't say great, but the AMD open source drivers are alot better. And ofcourse there's the Mantle->Vulkan thing.

The'll swhich to opensource amdgpu kernel module for fiji and future cards (currently fglrx).
They support mesa development by hiring developers for it.
They pushed Mantle which initiated the development of Vulkan and DX12.
Their user space implementation of Mantle will be open source in future.

What does nvidia do? Marketing and Marketing. Good but closed source drivers and they removed a multihead feature of the Linux driver because Windows isn't capable of doing the same thing. There is no real reason for nvidia holding a monopoly but they know how to make braindead gamers buy their stuff exclusively. And whats currently happening? Everybody buys nvidia. Great, this helps.

Quoting: subYou might say I'm to blame for buying an AMD card, but still:

Isn't it embarrassing that almost all AAA-titles
come with the note "AMD not supported"? :S:

Linux users should boycott nVIDIA since AMD shows great Open Source engagement.

Quoting: EikeI fear Vulkan will primarily be seen as a mobile API.

This fear is so far away from reality that it's even funny. :D

Does it run with AMD at all? I own an A10-7850k...

it is really sad to see the linux world completely focus on nvidia/intel.
We already have an intel monopoly and the same will happen with nvidia.
Everybody has some kind of responsibility, especially reporters - free or not.
Why? Free enterprise! Just saying ...

Quoting: Mountain ManExcept that won't convince anybody to give up Windows and start using Linux.

Even 100% on par with Windows won't do that. It takes more than being "as good as" for average Joe to jump OS.

And why the heck does anybody want average joe using this OS?
Even ubuntu had a bad impact on the community. Some company driven distribution with closed upstream is de facto reference for Linux distributions and quality of wikis/forums degraded the past years significantly.

I want to fly like a bird because in reality i am chained to the ground like a fossil to the rock,
bonded to duty and work like a dog to its bone.
I need to break free.

My problem with this kind of games:
It picks up a bunch of very successful templates and copies elements randomly with good intention in mind:
Be the AAA super hyper version of something existing.
But fact is:
* It is low budget
* I don't want to insult anyone: it looks like it is backed up with rather mediocre know how
* It is early access and the very dubiously formulated final version will probably emerge long after the lifetime of the product (if at all)
* Due to the fact it's a mixture of multiple existing templates it does many things but nothing good enough to be not just another boring nothing-really-finished random early access title

Correct me if i'm wrong :-P
