Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: ShmerlThat's great, especially Wayland plans.

This is a thing that I haven't seen talked about a whole lot, but I am so glad Ubuntu dropped Mir. Everyone talks about them dropping Unity for Gnome, but frankly that doesn't matter much. There's lots of those things and one more or less is no biggie.
But Wayland is the kind of infrastructure it's so much better if there's only one of it, and going forward it could matter quite a lot to Linux gaming that we didn't end up with both Wayland and Mir making things complicated.

Yes, I think both are important to remove some of the fragmentation in Linux world, whereas the decision to drop Mir is the more important one. I would even say this applies to systemd and friends too, they are may be not perfect but it helps a lot if there is just one de-facto standard for certain things.

Quoting: jens

Quoting: XpanderMight need some ini file tweaks for it.

Do you happen to know the settings for a correct aspect ratio for a resolution of 3440x1440 too? I can select that resolution in the settings, but that results in black boarders on the sides.
Otherwise the games runs perfectly fine.

This trick works on Linux too:

Looks really cool now in 21:9 ;)

Very cool, yes, will certainly buy this one on day one!
Especially considered that 2017 will be the last year with "proper" cars. I have followed Formula One for nearly 20 years, but I guess I will stop with the introduction of Halo :(

Quoting: liamdaweThere is no right or wrong card, it's personal preference

Exactly. All cards have strength and weaknesses, nothing is perfect. There are only wrong buying choices for your personal preferences and expectations.

If you bought a Ferrari and want to transport 6 people with comfort from A to B, I would say you bought the wrong car for your purpose or preference, right? This has nothing to do with how shiny or fast the Ferrari can go.

I'm sure AMD is doing great, but it is not the card (yet) that everybody supports due to still being experimental drivers and stack. Just accept that when buying such a card, be cool and be patient. And no, nvidia is not the holy grail, far from. AMD is much better at system integration, but nvidia shines with being stable and solid for gaming.

Quoting: PompesdeskyI'm not personnaly angry or mad or complain about the game not working fine with my graphics card manufacturer, I'll just be skipping it until it works or forever for that matter.

Perfectly cool.

Quoting: PompesdeskyI was just answering your "trollish" comment implying that Nvidia is the best and only option for Linux users.

This is not what I said or implied to say. What I said was: _If_ you are angry or complaining that this game is unsupported on your graphic card, _then_ it seems you bought the wrong card. Please note the difference.

PS: Don't you think that there is a lot of complaining and anger between the lines in a lot of comments in both threads about this title?

Quoting: PompesdeskyYou mean those graphic cards that have a working open source driver right ?

Yes, exactly these ones ;)

Don't get me wrong. It is really cool that AMD is getting into shape on Linux and it would be cool if Nvidia would move slightly into that direction too. But please just don't get angry or mad or complain that not everybody is jumping right now on that still experimental combination. It is perfectly fine that developers choose to support a stable stack only and one must not demand from them to do a lot of upstream work too. Time will heal. If you are an early adopter, very brave and cool, but expect that things are unsupported.

PS: Thinking about this, I don't like the headline of this thread at all. Of course it is fine to mention that support is limited for nvidia, but doing this that prominently in the headline immediately sets a specific tone :S:. Anyway, my gratitude to Aspyr/Bloober Team!

Bought this one, very cool!

PS: Is there actually anybody happy with this one next to me? I'm reading here and in the thread about this earlier today mostly complaints from people that apparently bought the wrong graphics card :(

Very cool, I'm happy to pay for this one once it's available.

Quoting: appetrosyanMakes sense, but there's a problem. Red Hat are repeating their mistake with Gnome Shell. They released Gnome 3 when it was a torture device hardly suitable for occasional use, much less a full blown default.

Why not switch to CentOS or another LTS focused distribution? A project with the size of Wayland or Gnome Shell needs years with feedback from the field to mature. There are other distributions if you prefer not to be part of this process.
Though I agree that state and intention of a first release should be transparently and honestly documented.
