Just tried it again (first time with the vulkan renderer working on KDE) - man, what a difference! Runs even smoother than it did with proton last time that worked. Now only the graphical glitches on the map and point-bar need to be adressed ^^
Really good to see Linux being up to par again, was neglected for far too long.

Cool idea, but would be pretty expensive to play SR 3 with that xD

The tenth Norse world sure is busy as Valheim hits 5 million sold

Fully deserved - i've rented a server with 4 friends and it's been a fairly long time since we came together to play a game with such regularity as valheim ^^

Are there any numbers yet regarding the % of Linux sales? I remember there being a "we reached out to the devs, but no answer yet" - has that changed?

Valve abusing the market power of Steam on game pricing according to a lawsuit

Whats the fuss about? Steam is giving out free keys to the devs with the only catch that they may not sell them lower than they do on steam (with details on sales etc) - while steam still has the same infrastructure-costs for those keys.

I really wouldn't be surprised if Sweeny "motivated" those 5 guys to initiate such a dumb lawsuit that costs us taxpayers unnecessary money -.-

I'd really hope for more VR-games the quality of Alyx :D
But i'd be equally happy for new singleplayer pancake games from valve to be honest ^^

AMD make switching between Vulkan drivers AMDVLK and RADV easier

I only had to use AMDVLK one or two years ago for Divinity OS 2, other than that radV has served me perfectly well. Nevertheless, it's nice to see this being made easier, i needed a bit to figure out how to switch via the VK_ICD_FILENAMES env
