Quoting: noctHas anyone had luck with FSR on Linux? I tried it on the weekend, but when I enable FSR it loads for a while and resets my setting. I'm running Pop OS and have a RTX 3070 if that makes a difference, but from what I read FSR should also work on nvidia cards.

I tried quickly, but turning it on seems to distort graphics for a moment and then resetting settings to original state (on Radeon 5600XT). :dizzy:

Quoting: sudoerFlatpak is the future for stale distros still living in the '90s. For rolling distros (which IS the future) it's useless and stupid.

Switch to a rolling distro and you will never have dependency hell issues again, nor bloat your system with disputable package formats. Having a big amount of different flatpaks can also lead (internaly) to dependency hell.

With all due respect, I *heavily* disagree with these statements.

Yes, rolling release distros are great for lots of reasons, but not for heavy "production corporate" use.
Rolling release is the very definition of all the possible and impossible risks when used in corporate production environments, either as a server infrastructure (you really do not want an ever-changing rolling release distro as a prod server) or as a corporate desktop (people will definitely not thank you for constantly changing program UIs, feature sets and/or format compatibility capabilities).

If you are still unsure about the above, just check with you Windows 10-cursed colleagues, because twice a year, their "rolling-relese" OS force-changes lots of bigger and smaller things for them, and I tell you - people are NOT excited about it! :unsure:

So yes, rolling release is certainly great for lots of use cases, but for strictly professional/corporate scenarios only TLS will do...

Well, maybe Flatpack might get useful at least a bit (in the corporate environment) afterall, hmm.. :whistle:
(This is why I prefer Snaps, btw...)

Quoting: GuestI don't think it will change much of anything regarding API usage. It's not like Vulkan was being utilised in games coming out of Activision-Blizzard anyway.

You are correct - Activision-Blizzard were not using Vulkan.
But Bethesda *did* used it, on DOOM franchise.

So not only a Vulkan-enabled franchise was lost to DX, but Microsoft also ensured that all those other franchises will never get any other port than Windows, and will never get Vulkan in the future, ever.

(And on top of all that, think about e.g. streaming platforms: (currently) all technologically built around Linux+Vulcan. Those ports are never happening too for all these franchises...; all those platforms and their Linux-based technologies are forbidden territory now, and for the future)

Please don't forget that this certainly has yet another level in the background though:
Technology wars...

From the tech usage perspective, this will definitely mean more DX API and less Vulkan API, as an example...

Interesting to see, that streaming is of no interest to the devs...
It might have a lot of (mainly technical) complications for sure, but it has one important thing: It provides 100% DRM by design.
So I would expect - especially very big - studios to be quite interested in this delivery mechanism.

Quoting: nenoroBefore this news
EG: there's no player on linux

After this news
EG: let's support linux

What element has changed their mind ?

Well, I guess this might have an impact too....
Maybe - as part of all the above said - Epic are also searching for some new "hunting grounds" for their games...?

I know, I know, Valve takes 30% too. But lets not forget that if a game is big enough, they take a smaller percentage...
