AMD officially announce the "Zen 2" Ryzen 3 series & new RDNA GPU architecture + Intel tease new CPU

Quoting: chancho_zombieHopefully with Zen 2 I can turn all kernel CPU mitigations off.

If it's not affected, I'm sure the kernel code won't apply the mitigations. Most of them get skipped for AMD CPUs already.

Quoting: scaineI played a fair bit of Quern

I found Quern to have a very neatly designed layout/map. In the same genre is Haven Moon, which is much shorter, but I thought it was also well done.

Thanks for sharing! You didn't say what these were, and since I already have all of them, the keys should still be available, unless someone else snagged them: Punch Club, The Final Station, and Party Hard.

A new and quite interesting Steam Client Beta is out, nice Linux fixes and Vulkan shader downloading

Quoting: HoriI use monitor built-in-speakers so unless I destroy my finger pressing the volume down button 100 times to turn mute the audio, and then 100 times again to turn it back to max, which I never expected to have to do, I can't do anything about it. Turning the volume down normally through GNOME will turn the volume on the receiver also.

Turn the monitor off?

Quoting: ArehandoroAnd from Pendulo Studios! They used to make great point & click games (imho) :D

... but not a single Linux game. :-(

FWIW, I played all 3 Runaway games with WINE, years ago. Presumably they would work well with Proton.

Very generous! Looks like somebody has redeemed it now...

Quoting: AciDIn the mean time, you can use Alt+F3 under kde to access the window properties/actions, even without any 'proper window decorations'.

Many windowing systems (including GNOME) use Alt+Space for that.
