Is cachyOS working easily out of the box with old windows games if you tried any?
@Jahimself they have two packages that will pull in basically everything you need to play anything outside of dosbox, which in itself is easy to install if you need it.

 $ pacman -S cachyos-gaming-meta cachyos-gaming-applications 

This will set you up nicely should you decide to go with Cachy.

Completed Half-life 2, HL2-episode 1 and half way through episode 2. All in VR, it works incredibly well and is a fantastic experience.
Me and my brother had a run through all the HL games in coop a while back, was good fun! (Not the VR versions though.) :grin:

D7VK brings Direct3D 7 to Linux using Vulkan based on DXVK

From dgVoodoo's readme:
0. Watch out for

There can be certain frameworks, launchers and similar craps orbiting out there - like Lutris - bundling dgVoodoo (and who knows how many others there are). This one, for example, runs on a system based on a bloated, multiversion, hack-f(or)est Win32 impleme imitation that cannot even run dgVoodoo, just some old, outdated version (probably in a shitty way) and even that one is defective. I mean, only a few components are shipped - the ones they can't replace by anything else. So, when you're using dgVoodoo on a luxfuxOS distro in such an environment, then:

Keep in mind that you are not getting the full dgVoodoo experience; do not identify this with dgVoodoo
You're not welcome anyway
Nothing screams integrity like using proprietary crap while preaching open-source purity. Bravo, you hypocritical fuck

@Lutris: now that you archived the dgvoodoo2 project on your GitHub page to silence me (btw, FuckYou to you for that), you could finally ditch dgVoodoo itself as well, just like I asked. Anyway, you're now going against the developer's disapproval / license.
You're hated. <finger emoji> <finger emoji> Think about it every time you stumble upon anything dgVoodoo-related when rummaging through your files garbage.
What an utter child...

(PS. I saw fit to replace the emojis with text.)

Fedora Linux project agrees to allow AI-assisted contributions with a new policy

This policy is comparable to saying "You're allowed to copy-paste parts of proprietary codebases into Fedora contributions, as long as you leave a comment saying which proprietary product you are copying from"
It wasn't very evident from what I skimmed through yesterday, might have missed something, but yeah, that bit seems to not have gone past legal at all...

It just seems to invite an uncessary risk for fedora at this point. Humans breaking copyright is something that courts have dealt with and we have good idea for how that will work out, but AI? The wise and responsible thing to do is sit quietly in the boat until courts have decided how to classify AI generated content and who is legally responsible for the output.

Regardless if one agrees with the courts future decisions or not, or agrees or disagrees with copyright in general, it is the law of the land and one can still be held responsible for breaking a law they don't personally agree with.

I couldn't name you a single developer not using AI tools at least in some capacity these days. It's just them accepting reality of software development these days.
I can! Me.
