I didn't know Sekiro runs so well out of the box! To the wishlist straightaway :D

I'll hold my hype for a little bit until is properly confirmed but I have faith in Paradox :)

Valve just released a big Steam Play update with Proton now based on Wine 4.2 & more

Quoting: BielFPsDoes someone know, if it's better to have all proton versions installed or just the current? I know that some of the games stuck with a specific version to avoid regression problems, but let's say that I don't have any of then installed, then is there any difference of installing just the newest one or keep a lot of versions?

And let's say that I've installed a game that runs better with an old release of proton, does steam will automatically download and install this old version or do I have to install it manually?
Those are very good questions. Hopefully someone can help with that :)

I must say that since DXVK in particular, and Proton too, I have started playing on PC more again. I would say thank you but my social life, and the Switch, probably don't agree with those thanks haha.

The latest teaser for the open-world action adventure game 'Pine' has me needing more, coming to Linux

I backed Pine and looking forward to it. If accomplishes half of the things they promise, at least will be a decent game.

I'm kinda sold after the trailer. Straight to my wishlist.

The latest progress report for PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 is looking good

The latest report shows that 1,119 titles are now class as playable, up from 1,081 reported the month before.
Very nice Emulator, but what hardware config do you need to play this 1,119 games in a fluid way on Linux?
Playable doesn't mean fluid experience.

You will need those two on both Windows and Linux to get a good experience:

A beasty cpu ( Mostly Intel i7's as minimum )
A Vulkan capable gpu

Gpu doesn't need to be a strong one. Even a GTX 1050 should be fine.
In the video, the new fixes/improvements with SPU LLVM recompiler and enabling multithreaded are shown with an AMD Ryzen 7 1700, perhaps they were using that same CPU for testing the games.

Mesa 19.0 is officially out, lots of improvements for Linux open source graphics drivers

Awesome! Will try it this weekend and see the marvels of freesync :D

With hand-made environments, the point & click Truberbrook is out now

Backed the game at the beginning of the development and got the key over the weekend. I was away so couldn't try but seeing the problems currently have, will wait a little bit to have a much better overall experience.

Needless to say that I am quite hyped about the game, the story, the art, all of it gives me a good vibe.

The incredible looking 16-bit fantasy RPG Chained Echoes is fully funded and coming to Linux

It looks fantastic! The art, the music, the typical blend of fantasy and sci-fi... if only didn’t have the feeling that they’ve shown too much (no need to see the maechas are controllable in-game) would be the perfect 16but RPG retro game.

Which makes me wonder how well would do a cRPG with this kind of art/setup of classic console RPGs. Can’t remember any game like that.
