What a milestone. This site is just amazing, with multiple articles written nearly every day.I remember the dark days (pre-GOL) where one was lucky to find anything Linux gaming-related. This in addition to the YT channel. Simply marvelous.

Sounds similar to Fedora Silverblue [External Link].

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualWhat do you think of CrossOver for managing WINE?I've used it in the recent past and it worked quite well for my CD-based collection. I mostly launch games through Steam these days. At this point I mostly I use my CrossOver membership to help support development.

I also see the additional VRAM usage, and my GPU memory frequency maxed out at one point while flipping around.
It doesn't restore the Store screen when switching KDE desktops.
I'm generally slow to accept change in UI but this is similar enough I think I'll get used to it quickly and forget how it used to work.

Quoting: XpanderIt looks nicer. Font sizes are nicely smaller also on the top row and its more consistent with its theme stuff now, but its extremely buggy. Smooth scrolling is super slow, its like they changed how fast it scrolls. Have to scroll like crazy to move it. It also seems to eat VRAM a lot more than stable and doesn't seem to release VRAM when theres no activity. So yeah. lot of work to do i guess but its a start.It's the smaller fonts that is killing my aging eyes. There doesn't appear to be a font size setting, just toggle to scale to monitor size (whatever that means).

I wonder how well siege will work in single-player.

Too bad the update is only available on Steam. I still have the CD lying around here somewhere. On the RWS website you can pick up the game for $2 so not a huge cost in any case.

I agree with all the comments about the raid rate. I might play with aggression a bit as well. I haven't even tried the mistlands update because once past the swamp I found the game very grindy. I'm too casual to always play games in hardcore mode.

I'm considering switching to team red with a 6950. It seems similar cost-wise for more performance, excluding RT, at least while you can still get one.

Quoting: BeamboomI think it sounded to be a really good price? I paid twice that for my 3080 back then, and that was long after launch (although during the chip shortage period).Several reviews show it outperformed by the 3080ti. I guess you get DLSS3 and better RT cores as a trade-off.

Fresh Steam Deck and Steam desktop Beta, Valve dropping old Windows support

Not that I have a lot of sympathy for Windows users but dropping 7 is going to be hard pill to swallow for some. The 10/11 compatibility with some games is apparently pretty bad.
