Quoting: PikoloSuppose it is. Otherwise a (fixed) "To Battle" wouldn't make any sense at all.Quoting: TuxeeSince I've been playing War Thunder in its native version for many years: Are there any benefits running the Proton version? (Even with all details cranked up to the max I constantly hover around 150 to 200fps on 2560x1600.)I'm not sure if the Proton version can be used in multiplayer - is Anti-Cheat enabled on it?

Quoting: Ehvis9 years ago?Quoting: KimyrielleNot sure how I feel about the forced switch to Wayland. I know, I know! It's the future. But I am still not 100% convinced it's fully ready to take over yet.Look back at the first time Canonical said they would make Wayland the default. It's actually pretty funny.
Oh, well, I won't have to deal with it until December anyway - which is when this release will make it into Mint 23.

Quoting: GuestSnaps = non-free (proprietary) file format belonging to CanonicalThat's BS. But if it gives you the opportunity to complain about something you apparently not even use - why not? For others: Snap is ofc open source. What is proprietary is the backend for Snap distribution. But even so you could implement your very own backend.

War Thunder is getting infantry combat

I have been playing WT for 11 years now (exclusively on Linux) and can assure you that it is anything but P2W*. Investing real money reduces the grind considerably. That's pretty much all there is. As far as monetization goes: I do have a premium account which you get twice a year for a 50% discount, which comes then down to about 30 Euros per year. That's it. Every now and then I might buy a premium vehicle (again when there is a sale).
If you don't want to invest any money stick to tiers I to IV and just have a good time. At these stages the grind is easy to endure.
[*]As for P2W: Sales season can be horrible. Your team can be full of noobs in their shiny premium vehicles which they somehow believe are "better" (which they rarely are), only to get slaughtered by experienced players already accustomed to the peculiarities of high tier battles.

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.Must have been a WoT player...

Ok, guys. I have a Crucial 32GB DDR5/6000 DIMM pair lying around in an unopened package. I got it 6 weeks ago for around 90 Euros but I'm willing to trade it for - say - a small apartment in one of today's hot cities I have yet to choose. Your offers are welcome.
Ubuntu getting optimisations for modern processors with architecture variants

Once the Blender snap is up I still might be interested an faster code on my Zen4 architecture.

The best thing one can do for performance on ununtu is to get rid of snaps.Why should this improve performance? It improves first-time launch time. That's all. I suppose your MS Edit application starts within milliseconds when started a second time on a running modern system. Extremely long startup times are a problem of the packager, not the technology itself. If MS Edit takes five seconds for the first start it is more telling about the competence of the packager. Besides I just gave it a try: the initial launch of version 1.2.1 took a fraction of a second on my system.

The native package pulls in the libraries - and so does the Snap package... Of course. They're needed. You don't really see the count of packages containing the libd as a disadvantage, do you?I do. Steam and Wine are the only applications on my system which require i386 libs. Wine straight from the repo frequently had some dependency issues (can't recall the specifics anymore). Wine is now tucked away in a Bottles flatpak along with the single required i386 package. I really like the crap being bundled up in single packages. In a broader sense it all belongs to the "proprietary sphere" of my system. And I just prefer my proprietary stuff in container formats.
And since we are just talking of it:
