I hope the rest of Loki's catalogue can make a comeback.

Don't know why "maintenance mode" was a red flag for something feature complete.

You know what else is in maintenance mode? Almost all of the GNU core commands that drive your operating system.

AMD has strong revenue growth again, new next-gen RDNA GPUs coming this year

Quoting: keanHow is the driver support? I am planning to upgrade my CPU and GPU (1600 and 1060) to a 3600/3600x and 5600XT. I had issues in the past with my RX 480, but never with the 1060. Would you recommend switching back to AMD?
My partner's Rx Vega 56 has some driver issue that causes it to hang the system due to a bug with undervolting at high load. We applied some kernel workarounds to fix it, and ordered a bigger PSU so it won't need to undervolt. So, I guess there are issues, but in general it performs very well.

Wonder if this will help with games that have iffy alt-tab support.

I still think all of this is leading up to a second attempt at Steam Machines, except this time with Valve also being the hardware provider.

Quoting: GuestThinks are certainly good for gaming on a linux rig. I only need Warframe to be playable (argh, Destiny 2 as well) with proton and I can quit being a filthy dual booter :D
Warframe works 100% for me. What isn't working for you? Maybe I can help troubleshoot.

EDIT: The key things to making sure Warframe works is:

1. Either have a controller plugged in (can still use m&kb), or install xboxdrv. The game exits after about a minute for some reason if you don't.

2. Set vsync to either on or off. Auto makes it unstable.

3. Depending on your audio hardware, you may need to override some DLLs.

And that's it.
