Quoting: Chinstrap Does this mean the WINEDLLOVERRIDES command is no longer needed? That would make modding some games less of a headache.See above. In some cases you can now avoid overrides, but not always clearly. So experiment and see what works and what doesn't, but it's still an improvement.

With this change now in place and shipped in Wine, it means that if the DLL company name attached is not Microsoft (so a custom one supplied with the mod or game), Wine will automatically use it over the Wine version.Looks like it partially works for Cyberpunk 2077 mods, but not fully. I was able to remove version.dll override and still load Cyber Engine Tweaks, but winmm.dll override is still needed to load some other CP2077 mod tools.

Quoting: benstor214[apparently the GeForce3 was the first video card released with a programmable pixel shader. Though programmable shaders in general were already a thing for years before that.Yeah, they implemented such idea in the GPUs first, but they didn't invent it.

KDE Plasma 6.6.1 rolls out with lots of fixes for KWin
27 Feb 2026 at 2:17 am UTC
I think in Debian it depends on newer Qt, and packaging that is usually a pretty heavy lifting. Not sure how other distros manage to do it so quickly. They might simply ignore all the bugs fallout caused by that, while Debian Qt/KDE team have do that carefully.
