Looks like pixelized Doom 3. I hope it will be much better than Doom 3, else i'd better play more Doom 1 and 2.

Quoting: MohandevirPadoka-dev is at Mesa 19.1 and Padoka-stable is at 18.3.3... Does this news means that Mesa 19.0 is now going stable? If so, is there anybody that knows when we may hope for it to appear on padoka-stable?
19.0 is RC, 19.0.1 will be Stable

Quoting: subI somehow doubt it.
There is always the option that they went back to the original authors and got a licence of some sort that doesn't require them to release anything.
That was my initial question, actually. :)
Then it must be GLQuake/WinQuake because else (DarkPlaces, Quakespasm etc) they need to "got a licence of some sort" form entire Quake community.
But i believe they will opensource their modifications.

Quoting: Botonoski... something almost indescribable ...
It's nostalgia about Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake 1 or PSOne/PSX.

Quoting: mylka... so these cards can easily translate dx9 to opengl with 100+ fps ...
For me some DX9 games still perform bad with wined3d on my Geforce GTX 1050 but they performed better with Gallium Nine on the same PC but with Radeon HD 7850.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

Quoting: thelimeydragongame appears to require Wayland. I don't currently gave Wayland installed and not planning to soon. So I'll probably have to refund it. I'll keep it on my wish list tho.
AFAIK You can use Wayland under X
edit: GTK3, Mesa, MPV, Retroarch and many other things also require Wayland.

Quoting: tuubiAnyway, the usual solution to work around this is ...
... to turn compositing off. KWin even has hotkey to toggle compositing.
