Quoting: ThormackAs a Nvidia user myself, I still feel they are doing the bare minimum just so they can say they support Linux.

It still feels more than what the competition is doing.

Why do you say so? Freesync is coming on kernel 4.21. Not to mention how well is working Mesa at performance level.

Mesa is not good at performance(especially at price/performance) and has issues with a lot of games.

You mean that a RX 580 is not at the level of a GTX 1060 on Linux (Mesa vs Proprietary)? There are plenty of benchs that prove you're wrong. And, worth mention, that many of the "issues" on the games are dev faults (check for the latest Black Mesa patch to get an idea).

Nowadays Mesa is rock solid. The only big issue is stuttering in some games, but is completely solved by setting your cpu governor to performance (or using Feral tool). Intel & AMD has made an excellent work on their OpenGL & Vulkan open source libraries implementations in the latest years, giving a quality far superior than Nvidia. From my point of view you have a bias.

Quoting: fedotixIt seems far away the day Linus Torvald insulted Nvidia...
We must accept that NVIDIA today is more cooperative with Linux System.

In the open source side nothing has change. If Linus won't insult them anymore, is because of his treatment, but not because they are doing things any better.

It's a paradox to read that from a Valve employee. But we all know that he is somehow right. On Steam, DRM never bothered me because I felt respected as a customer. Just something like "Family View" might have prevented millions of pirated copies.

I agree. In fact, you just have to see how all the epic store features where publishers based and not end users based (like the idea of "removing forums and ratings because that annoys devs...").

Right now even the UE4 assets store doesn't support Linux (I read a thread on reddit about a guy that had to get a refund because of that), when in fact they give "support" for Linux their on engine. They really don't give a fuck about us, we should do the same...

Wish GoG was more supportive with us but, for now, I think that almost the 100% of my purchase will be steam only.

Quoting: GuestNo. You got it all wrong, as did the previous posters.

Art is NOT about entertainment. Art is about expression, and the transfer of ideas and feelings.

Art is for entertainment too. Comics are Art, and they're made for entertainment. Films are Art, and they are for entertainment. In can clearly find many examples of sculptures and paintings that were made to entertain people and nobody will say they aren't Art.

Quoting: GuestThus, not every film is art... For example porn is not "art". Porn is just there so you can get an easy and fast release of sexual pleasure. There is no artistic expression, no feelings or thoughts transfered. Just raw porn.

A great philosophical theatrical play is Art. A clown making balloons on the street for little kids, not art. One is there to transfer thoughts and feelings, the other is there just to waste some time and entertain the brats while their parents can drink their coffee with their friends in peace. LOL.

I believe that you put a very strict personal classification in order to decide what is art and what is not. Anyway, even with you personal way of view it would be very easy to find a game that has a similar quality of camera, script and characters development as any other film that you would consider a masterpiece. Games are a mixed art, just as a film, opera or a play are.

Quoting: GuestGames are NOT art. At best, the contain some art, alongside other things. For example music in games is art. But games per se, are NOT art.

This is just a bullshit excuse we tell ourselves just so we can justify the time we waste playing them. We want to feel like we are experiencing art while all we are doing is playing with virtual toys.

Video games are just entertainment, and there is nothing wrong with that. Stop deluding yourselves.

But all the arts are made for entertainment, or you don't consider films an art?

Looks very similar to X-Moto. I remember playing that game on Linux about ten years ago... for ubuntu/debian: sudo apt install xmoto

Without knowing your hardware it's hard to say.

I'm eager to see the performance uplift on Mesa, I'll report back tonight.

this is specs

Quoting: ChiKinWill this fix the sudden, terrible frame drops that make the game unplayable?

I detected some drops, but nothing that affected a lot the game (never less than 30 fps). Anyway, I just played a little bit the start of the game, I'll try to play a little more during weekend and will let you know if there is something else to be worried about.

P.S: enabling AA will crash the game, no matter your settings. So, keep it off for now :P
