Quoting: TheRiddick

Quoting: 14Still, "trash" is pretty harsh for something that overall does work reliably in my experience.

Maybe if you actually USED Wayland as for power desktop and gaming needs then you will think differently.

Pretty much ALL desktop environments work pretty good if you do very light desktop stuff and minimal gaming!

So, how does the Steam Deck manage to run Wayland well, or is it only using it for Gamescope and then using Xorg in desktop mode?

Quoting: TheRiddickI might need to switch to a NVIDIA card since I just found out my AMD card is not ALLOWED to do HDMI2.1.
I was running ycb420 this whole time thinking it was RGB, lmao.

The HDMI2.1 standard needs more open minded people running the show!

Isn't the plan for Nvidia to eventually replace their proprietary driver with the open source one, and if so, wouldn't that put you in the same boat?

Quoting: TheRiddickYeah IMO Wayland is still years away from prime time.
I was thinking maybe 1 year but its just such a trash experience in many ways. At least for Plasma.

The only other option is GNOME which is a little better. Until all the other WM/DE catch up its always going to be rather experimental. (and also all apps need to support it)

You mean until Nvidia catches up, right?

So, this works on X? I thought Wayland support was still incomplete for Nvidia.

I can't say it's the year of the Linux Desktop, but it's definitely the year of Linux.

Quoting: LNX

Thanks though to Proton

for killing native linux games development

This kind of sounds like just whining because you didn't get your way. I can understand someone who has strong free software principles and doesn't want to play proprietary games. I can even understand people who only want DRM-free games. But what is the actual ideology of someone who doesn't like game support on Linux unless it's native? You can't claim you're doing it to advocate for free software. Wine, Proton, DXVK, etc. are all free and open source. You're kind of spitting all over their work and not actually contributing anything other than a complaint about not getting things your way.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but I just really want to understand how being mad at Valve and the FOSS community for making more games work on Linux is productive. Would you rather go back to having most games not work on Linux?

Quoting: gradyvuckovicHats off to GE for the fix for Fall Guys, and thanks Liam for the article, but at the same time, ugh..

Why is this even necessary? Surely if a developer cares enough to enable EAC compatibility they could at least put the EAC file in the right spot? Why did they even publish the update without at least testing it once to ensure it works? And why after weeks of it being widely reported that the file is in the wrong spot, have they STILL not moved the file into the right place? It's not exactly a 'major fix' to implement, it's literally just moving a file..

Maybe the game Fall Guys is semi-autobiographical. :grin:

Someone exported the matrix demo (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:fgzdm32lgnurbextst2o3jll2sdplyuh), and I got it running in Proton, but it either doesn't detect the graphics card or the nvidia driver just doesn't support nanite mesh. As a result, none of the nanite meshes load.

ICYMI: NVIDIA are also working with Valve to get Gamescope working on their drivers.

Did they even get Wayland working with their drivers? Last time I looked, it was a no-go in KDE. I admittedly haven't looked in a while though.

Quoting: denyasisI was always under the impression that most/many of the Chromebooks were lower powered ARM chipsets? I'm assuming this is for x86 systems only?

It's kind of odd timing because a lot more Chromebooks ran on x86 architecture a few years ago. I'd say maybe even the majority did, but as Google pushed for more integration with Android apps, it also made sense to gradually shift Chromebooks more to ARM. Steam on ChromeOS made sense more in 2017 than it does now. I even have an x86 Chromebook that will stop receiving updates this June. I've already had it in dev mode for quite some time, and it will switch to a full-time Linux laptop pretty soon.
