Quoting: liamdaweI didn't even see you asked about an editorial heh, sorry. Not exactly the best fit for a front page article on here I don't think, best left to the forum for now.Quoting: Jhence my question on the editorial - it would be good to help to get some non-directly gaming related things to discussed here? (I find it more personal than some of the mass forums)Quoting: liamdaweSecurity issues with Mint and their terribly security policy, that's the biggest thing. But this article isn't really for discussing that ;)Quoting: STiATWhat kind of compositor does Cinnamon use?...
Any editorial coming up on that?

To be fair, I turned off the compositor for fullscreen applications (in general settings) and the 4K results for Vulkan were even worse.
I don't think Cinnamon is good for testing at all. I will reserve that final judgement for when I get Ubuntu back on though.

Quoting: XpanderYep, correct. Not sure why I missed the "dota" on the end must have been a copy paste fail somewhere for me, guide updated.Quoting: liamdaweok the benchmark.dem file had to be inQuoting: Xpanderi just cant make the benchmark work.. using the script, no errors in terminal, all launches fine but game is just waiting in the main menu and doing nothing.What exact folder is your demo file in?
adding all this crap into launch options - game is waiting in the main menu doing nothing
adding -console or +con_enable 1 - makes the game go to main menu but i cant find the key to bring up the console, tried like all the keys on my keyboard
What keyboard layout do you have?
/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota

Guide updated, as requested (and it does make some sense) the first demo linked to is the current one Phoronix is using.
All code bits and the script code are updated to reflect you need to change the demo file name yourself.

Just a note: they reconfirmed to me today the plan is still to release Linux at the same time as Windows, but it could have a delay of a week or so.

That same lovely porter is the one that allowed me to test it early, but unless they want to be named I will leave it to them to announce themselves.

People are free to use whatever they like, I will think on our methods and maybe use that file for future stuff. I will edit the article later to include that as an option.
