NVIDIA has confirmed a driver bug resulting in a loss of performance on Linux

Interesting is that Feral requires 384 drivers because 387 has performance issues for F1 2017. Is that the same problem, or is that a different one specifically for Vulkan?

I can't help but feel that Wine is not yet ready for a major release and that the freeze is an arbitrary choice based on the date instead of actual milestones.

Quoting: pbYes, please. And if there are any achievements, I hope they will unlock on Linux this time. In TTM I had to transfer the save file over to wine-installed game to unlock the achievement, luckily there was only one.

I wonder how quickly I would break it if the rally didn't exactly 'go my way'. :whistle:

I actually find his motion rig much more interesting. A seriously cool setup!

More on topic for the article. The percentage Linux users has dropped quite a bit over the last couple of years. It used to be over 5% iirc. I think offering it on Steam has brought in proportionally more Windows and Mac users.
