NVIDIA release another fresh Vulkan Beta Driver - 455.26.01

Quoting: TheRiddickI hope someone gets RTX titles working under Linux soon, that be neat. (via proton I guess)
This is a common misconception by people, sometimes just poor wording that I keep seeing repeated.

RTX is supported on Linux, has been for multiple years already. What doesn't work is DXR, the DirectX-only Ray Tracing - there's different implementations remember. With NVIDIA they have their own Vulkan extensions, while Khronos work on the cross-vendor solution which is in progress for Vulkan.

Just to be more clear for people reading.

Quoting: whizseAlso a genre that's new to me. Most of these games seems to be an excuse to ogle scantily clad manga ladies so my eyes sort of glazed over every time I heard "visual novel". Guess I've been overly prejudicial.
This is actually quite often why I avoid them too, there's a number of developers who just keep pushing those out and for a while it seemed like on the outside that's all there was. I'm glad to see more varied VNs.

Quoting: OLucasZanellaI fucking hate it that NONE of these streaming services are available in my country, where prices for gaming PCs are actually horrible.
