Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: liamdaweSeems to be a mostly solid 60FPS with no option to turn VSYNC off, I say mostly as it has drops to 56FPS at times.
Sounds more like a limiter than v-sync. Otherwise you'd drop down to 30 as soon as it goes below 60.
Who knows, without any options I sure don't :P

Quoting: KeyrockWhy are the *buntus separated into separate distros while other distros that have different spins, like Fedora and Mint, are not? It's not like Xubuntu and Lubuntu and Kubuntu have their own separate repos, they still pull packages from the same Ubuntu repos. Other than adding a different letter at the beginning of the name, they're no different than spins of any other distro. This also seems redundant given the choice of desktop environments in the survey.
Fedora spins are exactly that, just a spin with a different desktop.

Xubuntu, Kubuntu and so on are done by entirely different communities and developers, with their own different branding and logos. They also implement features directly for their distributions and do lots of other tweaks. It's not simply slapping a new desktop on top of Ubuntu.

Albion Online MMO final beta now available with a new trailer to show it off

All content can be accessed by everyone, the premium mode only gives a boost to certain things: https://albiononline.com/en/shop/premium [External Link]

Premium can be purchased with in-game money too.

Running an online game is expensive, they have to keep themselves afloat somehow, or else it would be a monthly fee anyway. At least this way you pay once and have access forever.

Quoting: Eric1212But in the graph, it's seems like we should see 64GB, 48GB, 46GB, 32GB, 25GB, 24GB, 20GB, 18GB, 16GB & 14GB. I know afterward that it's stupid to show data from 1 person when we doesn't show data from 306 but we still show the 10GB data from 4 persons... I never through to be the only one with 18Gb of ram... For the 48GB, maybe it's should be prefered on 10GB & 3GB...?
I literally don't understand what you're trying to say?

You're the only person with 18GB RAM, and the graphs only show a Top 10, there's 13 other sizes of RAM that have more than 1 person, so yours of course will not show on the graph, but only in the full info dropdown as it is.

I only post this because, if you are going to make a game that is similar, you should ask yourself one main question: "am I better than / unique from" ToM'E?

If the answer is "yes", then rock on with your bad self.
Since when was TOME a monster catching and breeding roguelike?

Quoting: CybolicNice improvement! I have to wonder where my 48GB of RAM went, though; to the 32GB or the 64GB bar?
Neither, why would it? Check the full details dropdown.

Same question for my 18 GB of ram

Quoting: minjWell SteamOS is debian-based while Manjaro differs more from Arch than Ubuntu spins from Ubuntu. So your grouping seems a bit arbitrary, not that there's a way to both be precise and generic at the same time...
So, it seems Manjaro actually uses it's own repositories if I'm researching it correctly, so technically it should be a distro by itself I think?
Manjaro has packages developed for their own OS and you can see the packages on the Manjaro github here: https://github.com/manjaro/ [External Link]. So basically, packages from Arch are synced into Manjaro unstable repository daily without syncing the packages Manjaro built for itself. So basically those packages are the kernels (we support a lot of kernels for the users to choose), mhwd (manjaro hardware detection tool), drivers and the modules, steam, a lot of DE those are only available on AUR in Arch are adopted by Manjaro, a lot of popular packages are also adopted from AUR into packages community repo, themes and artworks, pamac and octopi for the package management, installer, etc. So the conclusion is Manjaro is slowly moving far from being Arch just like Linuxmint is moving from being Ubuntu. Btw I'm one of the linux rt kernel maintainer on Manjaro. :)
So essentially, Manjaro is technically a distro by itself now and will move even further away from being "another arch-like" in future?

As for SteamOS, that's quite important to be kept by itself.
