You know, the article thumbnail reminded me of C&C: Renegade. We could use a new one of those.

You know what would be incredible? Playing Steam games on my Switch.

Quoting: 146300? You might not just know what you're missing. I got like 20-30 FPS increase in F1 2017 when I upgraded my processor, and that made a big difference from like 40 to 70-ish framerates. My previous processor was i5 3570K.
I'm planning to upgrade my i3570K to a Ryzen 6 or 8 core soon. Just feels a bid odd, minding the lack of big productions natively available for Linux...
Agree. There are a lot of games with middle-of-the-road or even pixel graphics natively on Linux, and you don't need an upgrade for those. Still, there were a handful of games that my last processor were holding me back more than I expected. I stream and watch my friends' streams at the same time. That was really where I was feeling it the most. I had been using two computers. The CPU upgrade allowed me to drop down to one. Besides that, I clearly remember Dota 2 and F1 2017 and Rust getting noticeably faster.

Quoting: poke86Yeah but think of how much you'd save on your heating bill...
I've got an FX 8-Core behind me for that :P
You joke, but I don't have any “proper” heating in the room with my 6-core FX. And it's not just naturally warm; I definitely notice the difference at this time of year if it hasn't been running.

Gotta say though, I'd love a Ryzen. But this thing has run everything I've thrown at it so far well enough.

Microsoft confirm their new Chromium-powered Edge browser is coming to Linux

MS incentive here is to get more web developers using their stuff, thus they won't bring DirectX (or something like it) to Linux.

Nebuchadnezzar looks like a beautifully styled classic isometric city builder coming to Linux

Looks pretty neat. When I was looking at this page from my mobile phone, I thought the graphics looked too old. Seeing it large, I see they are more detailed. Looks nice!

The sequel to Pay Day 2. Yes, once it's released and has online play, I'm pretty sure I'll nab this one.
