Happy celebrations and very cool to still have this place here. Also thanks for the good moderation and curation which keeps this a friendly place and the preference of quality over quantity/speed. I’m not that active, but still scroll through news daily. Up to the next 16 years!

I just completed the upgrade and it was indeed butter smooth and totally boring ;).
For NVIDIA users, I can really recommend https://negativo17.org/multimedia/ [External Link] as an alternative to RPM-Fusion.

Quoting: SpykerI think this is related to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12257 [External Link]Fixed a rendering issue with characters' eyes in Indiana Jones and the Great CircleI wonder if this fix comes from a Mesa update or just a Proton one because it appears on Desktop Linux as well (at least with AMD graphics).

I think in the long term global matchmaking should be restricted to fully closed systems like consoles and cloud gaming.
PC gaming (Windows and Linux) should only support local multiplayer (separate servers like back in the days or something like friends groups only) where cheating is “banned” by social controls because players knows each other and thus no anti cheat software is needed.
Anti-cheat software is very problematic on Windows. I had to install FC25 on a Windows machine, no fun. Also Windows users don’t deserve this..

Edit: ah, missed the recommendation in a few posts earlier.
But I agree on the general point, Fedora is not really beginners friendly with those things.

Quoting: dziadulewiczYou are expected to just *know* there is this thing called RPMFusion (that you have to manually enable, and from where to start with, also a mystery as not any website or link is given).There is also an alternative to rpmfusion, https://negativo17.org/multimedia/ [External Link] , if you are running NVIDIA, it is worth to explore this. I prefer their way of packaging, it works much better for me.

Quoting: KimyrielleIf these devs wouldn't suck at coding, they would design their games to be cheat-resilient from the ground up, instead of writing vulnerable client-side systems and then try to detect if someone/something is tampering with them at runtime. But hey, it's not that a lot of people having actual talent would want to work for EA, so there is that.Why don’t you just apply for the role to fix this? I’m sure anyone in the industry will want to hire you to show them how to properly solve this?
