PLEASE tell me their using unity's vulkan api for the linux port. If I see another company rolling back to outdated broken slow opengl for that engine, I'll scream, let it die already!

If you've played 'Pillars of Eternity 2' or 'Battletech' you understand the horrible woes of the OpenGL component, and yes at first glimpse it looks to work well, but as you play through those games (and many others) it gets real nasty, quick.

Using the Epic Store on Linux is even easier with the latest Heroic Games Launcher updates

This is a GUI for Legendary EGS script tool. I've been using it to try out some EGS stuff, mostly works fine, has had bugs or feature limits which have been quickly added in new versions.

Been playing modded GTA5 (not online). Works well but there are allot of hoops involved in getting GTA5 running good. I posted them on protondb yesterday, maybe that will show up.

All ready for covid-20 or 21? apparently its happening in some places around the world. Time will tell if the current vaccines can help against it (they speculate yes, but well, we'll see)

Quoting: bingusWhile I'm not exactly sure what you mean... I can't say I've experienced anything too weird with Skype, personally.
Skype taskbar click zone ends up being invisibly on top of the application start menu button, on my screen that is top-left, might follow the issue bottom-left if that is where you have the bar.

Quoting: DerpFoxWhat I never like with KDE and their app is how bloated they are.
You can remove allot of KDE components, are you talking about System Settings? You don't like all the options in there?

KDE Plasma5 is actually less bloat then quite a few others these days, in the sense it runs better and more coherent.

what happens when you install things like skype? does it screw up the task manager click zone still? bet it does.

The problem is nobody has friends whom plays Artifact! :)

Wine compatibility layer version 6.0 released

Looks very good. I have been playing BattleTech recently and was surprised to see the PROTON version (tkg 6.0) ran allot better and without graphical glitches compared to the native which had some odd texture shader issues and also loaded maps/mods slower.

I hope game developers move to Vulkan version of Unity3D in the future and steer away from old OpenGL builds for Linux. Also older version of Unity3D engine have memory leaks and performance issues as seen with Deadfire/BattleTech and other games under Windows OR Linux (play long enough and log the performance/load times and you will notice a degradation)..

AMD announces Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile CPUs, RDNA 2 GPUs in the first half of 2021

Interesting line up, shame their all for laptop boards.
Really want some serious next gen push for Desktop APU's but it seems 2021 is going to be the year of quite large price increases for PC hardware so I'll likely be skipping this year when it comes to buying new tech.
