It would be very nice of you guys from GamingOnLinux to think of the 7.6 billion people that don't use deprecated imperial units. At least include international units, so the majority doesn't have to search/guess the correct measurements.

Since 2013 I've been an Arch user and had similar experiences as you did. As I work now full time and couldn't deal with the problems of Arch every weekend, I switched to Manjaro stable about two years ago. One to two times a month there is a big upgrade which rarely breaks something because the Manjaro team is testing most things in advance. Nvidia drivers are well incorporated (though luckily I don't need them anymore) and I still got the AUR, which I wouldn't miss for any PPA, RPM download or install from source!

SteamOS 3.0 is also based on Arch and Valve said in the recent past that it will be a similar experience to Manjaro KDE stable, so why not give this one a try. You know Arch quite well and Fedora differs a lot. E.G. for my home server I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed (because I hope for a relatively stable rolling experience) and I ran into many bumps that wouldn't have occurred with Arch, because they use the K.I.S.S. principle that openSUSE doesn't want to use. (I couldn't disable SDDM / the display manager, because they got their own program that manages startup things.

With Manjaro you get a much more stable Arch base with a helpful community and the biggest repo that you can ever think of, the AUR!

It works like before (4 years ago)! Finally I can get into this game again. It will be quite a big learning curve to become relevant in a level 8 fight.
(Sway, Wayland, amdgpu)

Quoting: BrisseR9 Fury here. Framerate is often around 80-110 fps on the "max" preset. The Vulkan update really helped a lot and it should run great on your RX480 now.

Good to hear! Do you use the proprietary AMD driver or the free amdgpu driver? In the past it has been a lot of work to get the Vulkan part going. How much work is involved to setup Vulkan or does it work ootb?

EDIT: Just read your profile and if the information is still correct you use the free drivers under the GNOME Wayland session. Will give it a try under Sway. If that doesn't work under Cinnamon.

It has been a while since I played this game. I really liked it but as they didn't support the free amdgpu driver I stopped playing it for years. Has this changed? Is the Vulkan support with amdgpu (RX480) good enough to be played above 15 fps?

Just requested a refund. We shall see.

Why is there no official Linux port of Hitman 2?

Quoting: lejimster

Quoting: ShoNuff!!!waiting for when I can play Dying Light again on Archlinux (currently broken it seems)... will be a happy day!

Rather than compiling mesa yourself to do the fix, you can just grab these dll's [External Link] I compiled myself for Arch. Just follow the instructions in the readme.

I've been playing the game with mesa-git and llvm-svn from the mesa-git repo [External Link] on my system for the last couple of weeks no problem and the fix has survived a month of updates without breaking so far.

Thank you very much! I don't have to dualboot with Ubuntu 16.04 anymore and the game runs much smoother! ^_^
