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 ^^

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

Quoting: theghostI really liked and used Antergos a long time. I would really like to use EndeavorOS as successor but unfortunately they replaced the installer of Antergos with Calamares. But Calamares offers no option to encrypt your hard drive in combination with an unencrypted boot. The only two distributions which offer this are Ubuntu and Fedora. So I will stick with them.

you can do that with manjaro-architect, too (which is exactly what i've done ^^)

i agree that MEL was a really great experience :D
And if nothing changed (i played it before there were different modes), the puzzles are really nice food for thought and satisfying once you finally solve them ^^

If this mod comes close to that, i'll be really happy :wub:

Quoting: linuxjacquesThe itch.io version comes with a steam key :-)

And you even get the steam key if you bought in the past, which is really nice :D

Quoting: KorhakaSame issue here, yet got it fixed.

When running WarThunder native (without Steam) under Kubuntu or other distros, the window manager doesn't succeed in selecting the Vulkan-window as the active foreground window.

I found the solution here in the WT forum, cf. below TheRiddick, Oct. 26 [External Link]

Hence I run

killall kwin_x11
(and optionally) xrandr --output DP-0 --gamma 0.92

before starting WT via the "launcher" file in //media/USERNAME/DRIVE/WarThunder/linux64

The difference is quite impressive, with OpenGL I got 30-40 fps (20 when flying over towns) on medium settings, now I get 60-70 fps (40-50 over towns) on high with most sliders set to the max.

yeah i know about that - but i don't really want to kill my session to play a game. I've pretty much given up on WT, and for the occasional AB i use proton which gives me 4-5 times the FPS on max compared to openGL on min details...

So still the same issues with vulkan that have been there for years now - and they just declared it to "stable".
Especially the black screen issue was there since the first time you could try out the vulkan renderer...
On the one hand it's good they support linux at all, on the other hand, the native client is in a sorry state for several years and seems to be treated as a second class...who am i kidding - seventeenth class citizen ever since :/

It worked well with proton, but since EAC got introduced thats no longer an option for realistic and simulator battles...

Quoting: Termyi wonder if there really are people using their OS in esperanto :huh:

When learning a language, it might be useful to switch the OS language for a while. You already know how everything is labeled in your native tongue, it helps to gradually extend your vocabulary.

that's indeed an interesting point!
