Quoting: ZlopezI'm not sure why companies are taking growth for granted. Why they won't rather work with what they made the current year and expect that the next year will be the same or maybe save some of the money for bad times if you are making more than you expected, so you have some reserves.

To simplify it: one reason is competition.
If you don't grow, your competitors will grow anyway. And once they are big enough they will take over from your market share.

Quoting: ToddLI hope no one thinks Nova means "no go" in Spanish because if they can't get their replacement working out right, then you know the name sounds appropriate. However, I'm sure in due time, they'll sort it out and hopefully, make something better than Nouveau. Now, I must be feeling old because that name reminds me of the early 2000s with trying to get those Nvidia cards working on Linux with little success.

I suppose you are sarcastic about the "no go" driver, but just for the record to mention:

Nova means "New" (female gendered) in several Indo-european languages, same like Nouveau which means "New" (male gendered) in French.

This was exactly me, more than one year ago.

I was using Antergos and Arch distro through Zen installer for around 2 years. It was great most of the time but once every few months some little issue was arising. Not able to update/install some package because of some library version conflicts or similar. Probably AUR was also the cause of these bugs. When the system couldn't boot after another update, I decided to switch.

I found Fedora to be the perfect balance between bleeding edge and stability. Also Flatpak compensates for the AUR, or the least I personally have all the apps I need on Fedora with simple one-two clicks to install.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelI see War Thunder on the list - is the current Linux client actually working well, by now or did they test the proton version with anti cheat?

The native version work pretty well for me now and even before when I had RX 470 and was using the Vulkan beta renderer.
At the very beginning the native version had only OpenGL which was way worse than Windows DX11. Then a few years ago Vulkan beta was implemented which doubled the fps but had some bugs (black screen) in some cases and since recently (already a year maybe ?) Vulkan became the default renderer, granted the GPU supports it.

The game still has some occasional bugs and glitches, but this is not Linux related as my friend on Windows is also enjoying these same "features".

I just installed the game, but Steam considered all the packages to be only 150MB which happened to be only artwork and mp3 soundtrack files... and when launching the game it says of course it's missing the executable.

Quoting: ageresWhat about performance on AMD CPUs? Once again my FX-8350 is in the minimum settings and only Intel is in the max settings.

I'm with Intel i3-4130 and the game was running ok at around 40-50 fps with occasional drops to 30s, 1080p everything maxed out.
All four threads of the cpu were equally charged at around 80-90% (100%?).

So I think you should be totally fine.
