Quoting: LinuxerThis the best episode so far, by far. I noticed its up on lbry too already: what do you guys use (and do) to have that audio oscillator graphic as video??

Hey, glad you like it! :)

For the actual video it was simply FFmpeg. No other special program was used. Here was the entire line I used for it in case anyone else is interested:
 
ffmpeg -y -i audio.mp3 -i background_picture.png -filter_complex "[0:a]showwaves=s=3840x200:mode=line:colors=red|yellow[sw];[1][sw]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2:format=auto,format=yuv420p[v]" -map "[v]" -r 60 -map 0:a -movflags +faststart -acodec copy video.mp4

Quoting: Liam DaweArticle updated with info on the windows => ubuntu move support. Also they made us aware the date changed to October 1 for USA/Canada.

Great news. But more important question is: will this win=>Lin change affect device's support and/or warranty in any way?

Fully supported :)

Quoting: elmapulreplace the word: unity technologies (company) with microsoft, and the unity game engine with directX and tell me: whats happens?

The same as most companies, including Valve. They're all out for financial gain in some way. We all know this. Open source isn't about being entirely free of cost remember. Not sure what your entire post is really trying to get at. Yes they're a company selling a product which is proprietary, doesn't change what they're doing with this.

Quoting: massatt212did they add a browser to LINUX version of OBS ?

Yes, Browser Source has been available for a while but it was removed from their official builds after issues were found, which this release works around so it should be back for everyone when they upgrade.

Quoting: randylit is often mentioned how easy it can be to export a Linux build, especially for Unity developers

There's a big difference between exporting a build in a game engine, to actively supporting it across different sets of hardware and the underlying system. I've lost count of how many times I've said to people that support is the most important thing. That is entirely what Stadia takes away, the support burden is a singular platform plus Google pay directly for ports and help developers get on board. We don't have anyone doing that for the Linux desktop. Valve decided to do Proton instead.

Quoting: randylundermines the idea that Stadia is pushing Linux gaming forward at all

I don't think anyone has said seriously that Stadia pushes Linux gaming forwards. It is a different platform, that just so happens to use Linux + Vulkan for its builds, and supports playing on Linux through a browser the same as you would for it on Windows. Helps developers learn a little more Linux and Vulkan, which may be good in the end - that is all. It won't push Linux gaming, and it cannot, since Linux still has only ~1% market share.

Quoting: Liam DaweThat seems like a typical AMD Mesa issue with Unity, I had no problems with NVIDIA. art of rally had a similar issue, which is fixed in the very latest Mesa drivers. This is also a quick demo of an unfinished game that's still some ways off remember.

Update: tested on an Intel laptop (so Mesa) and not seeing that issue. So it seems it is AMD specific.

FWIW, I filed an issue with Mesa and was informed that it's a game/Unity bug. Uninitialized mipmap levels. Can be worked around by setting AMD_DEBUG=zerovram.

Game dev have been notified.

Thanks for the update, since it's a game bug then it will be interesting to see if the developer solves it. Keep us posted.

Quoting: GuestActually iD never supported GNU/Linux from a legal perspective. The binaries were maintained for a while, they were released to the community, engine source releases could build, but as a saleable product there was never official customer support for GNU/Linux.

That is what I was trying to get across. They didn't officially support the Linux builds, or actually properly sell them. Most of the time it was just thrown up as an additional download you could do, because 1 or 2 people thought it was cool to do. The only time it was official, it was an external port and that was a very long time ago.
