Fair enough, given that Linux is the operating system of choice for the sciences.

Quoting: ShmerlBy that time, radv can be even better already. AMD developers are also considering stopping their current tedious pre-opensourcing review efforts, and instead complete radv with missing pieces. In the end, as long as result is working well and is open, everyone will be happy.

I, too, am considering forgoing AMDGPU and just using Mesa instead since that is the default in so many distributions anyway. Whatever is easier.

That narration in the trailer was taken from some IT courseware. I'm pretty sure I recognize that voice.

Quoting: EhvisI don't think the crap part will stop Win10 from growing. It didn't stop Windows as a whole.

A lot of interesting statistics also appear when you start filtering. Linux users appear to run the most powerful hardware on average. Pretty much half of the Mac users run on Intel integrated GPUs. That puts the Mac percentages in perspective and shows why Linux is interesting to Mac porters like Feral and Aspyr.

Hell, yeah with Linux users tendency to also be DIYers you know we have a ton of extra hardware laying around. I just recently cobbled together some server hardware... it triggered the Steam survey.

Vulkan Mesa drivers recently dropped on Debian so this is good timing.

Even in a Windows-to-Windows connection, Saints Row IV (and probably 3, by extension) netcode sucks donkey balls. I can't say I'm surprised in the least.

In case you only skimmed the article: online multiplayer is not cross-platform with Windows players. Be careful with your purchase if you intend to play with friends.

Quoting: TakI don't get why "+1" is spam or unhelpful.
Developers usually say things like, "We'll look into supporting Linux if there's enough interest." Why should everyone write an essay just to indicate interest?

Then let's come up with a new way to express interest. Perhaps something like the GNU plus Linux copy pasta. What is spam, in their book?

They seem to have found the boundary between fair use and copyright infringement and decided to push right up against that line 100%. Even if somebody who had never yet heard of Yooka-Laylee saw this trailer, it would be clear to them that it is basically Banjo-Kazooie 2.0 made by Rareware 2.0.
