So is COSMIC desktop decently different compared to GNOME? because when I see people trying it out I just keep thinking I'm looking at GNOME.
War Thunder is getting infantry combat

I would say its quite rough for NEW comers because they have gradually made it MUCH more grinding over the decade then how it was originality. I mean I basically unlocked everything up to tier5 at one point but now I would probably not be able to unlock a single tier5 unless I played 10hrs a day 7 days a week, lol

Quoting: Tethys84I've heard nothing but bad things about this game. That the monetization is predatory, and that it's totally a P2W game. I see this and World of Warships get mentioned together a lot as games to avoid.It's not as bad as some, predatory? meh, however it is hard to earn DECENT returns (lions) without premium account status. Can make certain tiers and vehicles nothing but a waste to play. (because their repair or ammo cost outstrips returns)

Quoting: mylkahow much is VALVE contributing?Technically Valve don't use Plasma, its just a fallback DE which they could use GNOME or anything else.
since the steam deck and soon steam machine, both with KDE they should have a strong interest, that KDE is as good as it can get
i mean 300k is nothing for valve

Can you use FSR4 on NVIDIA hardware? I thought NVIDIA had the HW component but perhaps its not compatible and is still the SOFTWARE hacked FSR4 which is inferior?
Basically asking if FSR4 HW (not hacked SW version) is exclusive to RDNA4?

That is CRAZY.
BUT I did think it would be cool, however, hmm. Is everyone going to be RPG soldiers? :)
I do hope they have suitable options for each tier because WW1/2 tanks fighting modern infantry, yeah not a good idea!
I still have WarThunder installed, planned to return to it for a little bit now and again, maybe I'll check this update out.
ALSO doesn't Gaijin have a FPS WW2 game already? guessing that one is more focused on infantry thought.

Imagine if the other 2 providers did the same thing. lol
I don't see how Valve can make hardware under these situations.

Fortunately I bought all my top end PC hardware before this all started.
Just going to sit back and watch the entire world burn, and it is going to burn with Nuclear FIRE! :woot: :woot: :woot: :huh:

Quoting: CanadianBlueBeerGlad I upgraded when I did. (2 yrs ago)Something else is going to burst at the same time, so you won't be buying anything when that happens. Think about it for a tiny second, the whole world invests into AI crap.. pours trillions of trillions into it, what do you think bursting will do, if it happened? minor upsets? no think well WELL north of major upset, we talking all missiles in the sky!
WHEN, not IF, the AI bubble bursts, gonna be a great time to do another upgrade. :)

Quoting: GuestThey can't fix that until Vulkan does (also as per nvidia forum big thread about it).Doesn't affect Intel or AMD, which also use Vulkan....

Good to see the small struggling tech company NVIDIA being able to push out some nice fixes, BUT we still have completely broken DX12 performance bug with MANY games (as per nvidia forum big thread about it).
Arch-based distro EndeavourOS gets a new Ganymede release

This is good for people who want a basically pre-setup arch but NOT a fully 'tweaked' version like CachyOS.
I used it before CachyOS. if your aware of all the additional stuff you may need to tweak, its pretty good base.
