Quoting: DrakkerSame here, I don't get all the hate that Back 4 Blood gets.

I'm curious if the ProtonDB reports are false then? Is EAC working consistently now? There are still recent reports that EAC kicks you out on Linux, although many SteamDeck reports that it's okay? Or are you both playing on Windows?

I still wouldn't touch it with a bargepole due to Denuvo (and the price), but I suspect I've been far too harsh on the gameplay aspects, given both your comments!

Its EAC which you mentioned earlier and NOT Denuvo. I understand those are two different things.
I wont talk for everyone, but for myself. I am gentoo user. Later glibc update broke support for me:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6051 [External Link]
And recompiling glibc helped with EAC.
So i was affected and recompiling glibc helped me.

Quoting: DesumI thought Wayland's security made running Wine without xWayland a technical nightmare because of all the unsafe things Windows allows programs to do?

Actually no, funny that you mention security, way I understand it, every Xorg app runs in its own window. Meaning app or two can run together and never be aware of each other. Meaning that even Xorg apps are more secure by default if run under Wayland. One app can not steal input of another another app.

Quoting: drjomsSo in a nutshell, direct or indirect consequence of this - we shall have wine/proton working natively with Wayland?

yes exactly. The big question is "when" - I think I've been hearing some version of this exact same statement for years now. It's always "coming soon" so we shall see. For now I'm still on x11 just because it irks me to switch to wayland and then for all my games it's just running x on top of wayland. Why not just run x natively. I'll be very glad when it runs natively on wayland! But the when ...

Well, the whole point if I undersdtood, for proton to run on wayland. Which will mean exactly that.
From personal experience, I did not notice any FPS drop between wayland and X. I used both for long time, swithced over to wayland(from xfce4 to gnome) about half year or less ago.

OH WHOA, I did not see 5700xt being most used GPU by Linux Bretheren.
And it needs an upgrade for ultrawide screen.

I have been using Xfce4 for many years now. Switched over to Gnome with wayland. I am not picky about my GUI.
As long as i can run browser, terminal and switch easily between windows - I am good.

Albeit gnome is a bit more technically problematic than xfce, but its "more feature rich" too.

Did not notice any performance issues and what not.
Xwayland has almost no overhead, less than 1% I understand.

So i tried gnome+wayland and stayed with it.

B4B, sunk 500 hours into it. Its a good game.
Before leaping into higher difficulties, complete whole game on a lower one. There IS learning curve. Game requires some inteligence and deck building. Which I love, but not everyone will agree.
Game does not forgive errors of one player on higher difficulty levels.
On harder difficulties It will punish all 4 of you for mistakes of one, 3 seconds AFK can be VERY punishing for all your team.
Expect, as such, nerdy dedicated randos in your team. So randos can be toxic. I know i will straight tell people who join harder games, that they don't know what they do and need to play on lower difficulties. And this is kind approach...

Aliens Fireteam is also fun. BUT. No communication with randos that join you. Hence can't be toxic. Game is relatively polished, but a bit on a cheaper side.
Would recommend.

Deep Rock Galactic - most noob friendly game from that list for sure.
Great community, but i am not that keen on Fantasy setting. Albeit its more sciency fictiony than fantasy.
Still good game and would recommend.

Would also recommend both world war z, and Killing Floor 2.

All in my list but Aliens Fireteam support FSR, so free fps boost!

Quoting: drjomsJust to clarify, OpenRazer is NOT mantained by Razer themselves.

Was the article specifically mentioning it's by the community not enough of a clarification? Curious why this was needed to be said?

Its not criticism of the news itself. News is good.
Its for overall people's understanding.
Same goes for libratbag. Its not maintained by any company.(but its MUCH better)
Oh nostalgia, about Roccat mice, where software was developed by a guy who had direct contacts in this once mighty company.

Just to clarify, OpenRazer is NOT mantained by Razer themselves.
Its convoluted(requires background server), unreliable software, which I suspect is reverse engineered.
Background server is not necessary trivial to set up on non standard distro, like Gentoo for example.
Unless you are migrating from Win to Linux and already have Razer devices - don't think that this software will allow for extra functionality of your Razer devices.
And... IMHO Razer devices are inferior.
Had one broken down on me in less than one year of use.

Libratbag+Piper+Logitech(first check supported models) - is a way to go.
