Just completely ditched Lutris as Lutris barely gets enough updates as is all this is going to do is bring Lutris development to a crawl.. Heroic FTW

Linux smashes another market share record for August 2024 on Statcounter
3 Sep 2024 at 4:12 am UTC

Quoting: alexleducI'm hoping more software companies will realize that a 5% market share of over a billion desktop computers is not something they should ignore. Especially considering that first movers will get a chance to establish themselves in this new market. For example, if the Affinity suite would be ported, but the market leader, Adobe, waited until Linux had a 10-15% market share, Affinity would be the #1 professional level creative software on this platform. They could make a lot of money and, more importantly, develop brand loyalty.
Funnily I use Affinity on my setup on a daily basis on Opensuse

KDE Plasma 6.2 adding a pop-up for donations, plus they want to make a next-generation KDE OS

Quoting: pbI had a long break from KDE after they took a bad (for me) direction with KDE4. But last year, on the new computer, I decided to go wayland and I switched to kde, since xfce didn't have a wayland version. All was fine in the beginning but after some update (probably) the computer started randomly freezing. Like, I browse the web and bam, everything is frozen, hard reset needed. Or I leave the comp on, go eat or whatever, come back and it's frozen. Or I put it to sleep and can't wake it up etc. I suspected faulty hardware (ran memory tests etc.) and various programs (turned them off on boot etc.) but after a while I started to direct my suspicion towards KDE. So eventually I gathered some courage and time, and I installed Hyprland. It was a few months ago and not a single freeze since then, heh. And I actually love my new DE, everything configured to my taste (because by me, hehe).

TL;DR If you're experiencing random system freezes, it might be KDE.
Sounds like you Installed plasma 6 right after release.. it had some bugs that have since been fixed.. the freezing I pretty sure I experienced also and it was due to it constantly writing to a file for effects cache or something. since that was fixed I have not seen any new freezes. never install a .0 release and not expect any bugs

NVIDIA driver with Linux kernel 6.10 causing kernel oops

This affects you even if the NVIDIA card is NOT your primary card.. use a 1660 ti for cuda and nvenc and VMs but game on my RX 6600 XT and get these same hiccups.. guess best solution for me is to pull or bind my 1660 ti to vms til its fixed

Dragon Age: The Veilguard devs talk up their PC features, optimisations and Steam Deck verification

Quoting: JarmerEveryone pretending like the game is already out and they know exactly how it plays and feels. You all have zero clue ffs. All you've seen is some youtube trailers, and how many times has a game come out that's nothing at all like those (both good and bad sides).

Quoting: LungDragoMaybe I am just a hopeless centrist but I do believe the most prudent decision is to just wait and see with cautious optimism. It would be nice to be pleasantly surprised for a change.
This is the best mindset.
Not hard to deduct from gameplay trailers. this game is NOTHING like the previous 3.. its a generic cookie cutter button smashing adventure game.. NO Thank You

Quoting: Leahi84There's TONS of hype for this right now with everyone I know and the BioWare/dragon age communities.
I honestly mean no disrespect but I've never understood the attitude of people claiming 'hype'.

How did Cities Skylines 2 work out at release? go back further to Amazons MMO (New world). Further still the game that was mean to be an improved ARK survival in a different setting (ATLAS). There are all manner of games in between but these are the main ones that come to mind.

I used to get 'hyped' when I was a child.. after age 12 not so much. After the age of 21 unless I know for certain a new Ferrari was coming in a few weeks time I don't get 'hyped'.
Not to mention one look at the Gameplay trailer and its CLEAR this is only Dragon Age in name and not the Dragon Age most of us know and love.. this game is gona flop and flop hard with them trying to attract everyone BUT actual fans
Quit lying. The gameplay footage had everything DAI had. Say what you really mean and quit trying to act like it was the gameplay that bothered you.
You DID NOT watch the same gameplay then or you are just simping to simp.. one LOOK at the UI and actual gamplay reveals this game to be a generic button smashing adventure game even MORE so then DA:II was.. that is not Dragon Age and if you think it is you haven't played ANY of the previous 3

Hate all you want. I believe it's going to do REALLY well. There's TONS of hype for this right now with everyone I know and the BioWare/dragon age communities.
Looks like it could be IF it had ANY name other then Dragon Age attached.. but since it has the Dragon Age name its gona flop because this aint Dragon Age.. All ya got to do is look up the gameplay trailer and see clearly as A Dragon Age game this is a bust

Intel to lay off around 15,000 staff as they try make $10 billion in savings
5 Aug 2024 at 7:04 pm UTC

This is no surprise considering Intel got caught with their pants down and have been in decline since Ryzen came out. if they would have had a answer to AMD things would be different. but now they have to deal with competing with AMD and Arm based chips.

If you worked at Intel frankly you should have seen the writing on the wall and looking for another Job a long while ago.Jobs aint free and never a 100% in the tech world as fast as tech changes.
