"Not The Wine O'Clock News"... I had to laugh. Then go watch an hour or two of the ultimate classic British comedy. Solid. Fucking. Gold.

Moving but much slower than I'd like to. For instance there is no adaptive sync support in Wayland compositors yet. And some major bugs still plague KWin in Wayland session.

And of course, you need open drivers to use Wayland session if you want XWayland support and anything gaming related, which means AMD. Nvida blob is simply borked for it.

I just tried an nvidia+wayland session (Gnome) out of curiosity and yeah.. It works, but, no gaming for you depending on what the games are - couldn't get Quake2RTX working either.

Quoting: wazz4657This game is dope, but I gotta call out the "well supported" comment...it's not. This is another in a line of games broken on SteamOS and other distros (glibc), and I've spoken to them on the forums, there are no plans to fix. I know how the game goes, and they can't support every distro, and if I'm being honest I could play this on one of my Ubuntu machines, so I'm just bitching...but my gaming rig is SteamOS, and this will likely never run there again. Wasted my $$$ on all the DLC up till now, but I will not be buying this xpac, unfortunately.

that's why I switched to Linux Mint after years of using OpenSuse. 90% of my library runs fine but there is 3 or 4 games that I have problems with. Getting used to apt is going to take some time. But, I think there is plenty lifespan over LTS ubuntu based distros till the final 32 bit doomsday.
There's very little difference across distros on the graphics stacks and driver, games shouldn't have that kind of problems when switching distros but I understand the developers point of view on this. In an ideal world ppl shouldn't be forced to use Ubuntu (or ubuntu based distros) but yeah, sh*t happens (in this case bad developing decisions).

This is why I use flatpak on openSUSE. In fact my whole setup is minimal Gnome desktop, and all user apps are flatpaks - runs a treat and has no issues at all.

I love that he developed it with Rust (the language not the game).

Quoting: TheSHEEEPUbuntu GPU drivers are usually VERY outdated, though, I'm not sure if that will resolve this issue.

Isn't that what this news is all about?

Yes.

Don't listen to him. He's lying!

Well, the recommender got me down to a T. Added a few to the wishlist.

Quoting: EhvisThis almost sounds too silly to be true. Of course there is the "don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence" idea, but you do have to wonder whether there may be an ulterior motive here. Possible they just want to get on with new stuff and not spend time fixing horrible broken old code for a game that won't generate much in sales from this point.

If it's a case of them wanting to move on, it's the worst kind of marketing possible to make your studio sound like a bunch of complete fools.

LOL agree, it would be incredibly stupid ! :D

It's always complicated nowadays when you are a small indie : free storage is nice but... is anything free ? Versioning systems for closed sources have a cost and there is always the bandwidth problem : game projects are HUGE. Not only you have all the game content and it's sources, but you also have a lot of garb** *erm* a lot of things that won't always be useful in the near future lol.

This is mental... I do gamedev on the side, and I use gitlab publicly, and also use gitea on my own private server - my git commits go to both at all times.

My small server? It's basically a collection of random parts I had from various upgrades, running openSUSE Kubic and docker (for gitea, plex, and owncloud), and also NFS access. Even if "free" wasn't suitable, this little setup is dead easy. I have a permanent IP address too, so remote people can also get access.

Hell, you can buy a cheap ready-to-go NAS like QNAP or Synology, or even ASUSTOR and get set up with gitea/owncloud/NFS/Appletalk/Samba etc super quick.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just purged all *386 libs from my install, including Steam. Then installed Steam via flatpak...

No. Issues. At. All.

But this doesn't solve HumbleBumble or GOG. Though I do seem to recall and automated GOG->flatpak creator?
