Just bought it and seems to work well. Good to see that they delivered what they promised :D

OMG this prices... lets hope that Intel can create a good GPU a kick them all with an aggressive pricing strategy.

Quoting: randomgamerguy1997Time and time again people in the community say "ThAt A LiNuX BuIlD Is A ClIcK Of A BuTtON" but it's always proven to not be that simple time and time again.

One button click that you have to try before you do some promise. The main challenge for multiplatform support for any piece of software is that your testing work is almost directly proportional to the number you want to support. So, if you leave the testing for the end of your project, you will shortly find out that you're still far away from a finished product.

Ddevs can blame all they want to Unity, but THEY were the ones that did the Linux native build promise and, as far I know, they did a heads-up about this problem when they decide to drop the native support. So, unity my balls, this is just lack of professionalism and refunds should be granted.

Quoting: x_wingIf good or bad depends of your application in the end. I really doubt that handling controllers setup is a CPU intensive operation plus you can use Python C API if you need some speed up for certain components. The only con I see on that project is that they are using Python 2, to which the support ended in 2019.

I suppose depends on how constantly it's used. If it's running all the time - it can be more CPU / RAM taxing than using something that doesn't require a beefy runtime.

On a normal CPU set up that might be of minimal concern, but on an APU resources are more expensive.

In general, I'd never recommend using Python for hardware support. Rust is a better idea.

Well, controllers should be handled in an async way. If this program requires a lot of CPU, I would start doubting of the quality of the code. Either way, you must run some benchs in order to be 100% sure. Rewriting because it may be better is definitely gambling and, probably, a waste of time.

Video compression technology meets real time rendering.

So cool to have this tech free for anyone to use. Hopefully Intel follows the same with XeSS and both techs kills the proprietary crap from the green side.

Quoting: x_wingSo, should we say that Linux is a system V emulator as well?

Not really, since it directly implements interfaces to be used as system ones. Wine emulates Windows interfaces through Linux ones.

Emulates vs implements. That's the discussion, and Wine also implements WinAPI a windows subsystems on Linux. My point is that you are using a very broad definition for emulation, and by it you should also call virtual machines (or even docker) emulators.

Quoting: anewsonreading further down on the thread I'm back to being confused about it :grin:

Wine emulates Windows, so it is an emulator of it. But some can't understand the term except in the context of emulating hardware, so they probably insisted that "Wine is not an emulator [of hardware]". I don't really care about their issue and have no problem with calling Wine an emulator [of software, namely Windows].

So, should we say that Linux is a system V emulator as well?

Or just run this in the folder with the data to upload:

 
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 5555

And open in the deck browser YOUR_HOST_IP:5555
