Quoting: The_Aquabatmy biggest gripe with Wayland and Plasma is Kmail not working on the box that you read messages there's a transparent box... useless.

It's working now for me with latest Plasma, I tested it very recently.

It doesn't have adaptive sync either yet as far as I know.

I'm waiting for adaptive sync support in Kwin on Wayland. That's a big gaming feature that's missing now.

Quoting: slaapliedjeMicrosoft making their Surface stuff based on ARM is an interesting choice, but I wonder how much of that is being pissed off at Intel for some random thing vs trying to follow Apple.

Whatever MS motives can be, I can easily see that such move can be interpreted as threatening by AMD and Intel, so if they invest in actually increasing Linux adoption, it will give them some guarantee they'll have a market even if the likes of MS and Apple will start using only their own CPUs.

In a sense it's a similar motivation to why Valve are investing in Linux.

With recent news of MS pushing into making their own CPUs like Apple, I wonder if PC manufacturers together with AMD and Intel could start a stronger push for Linux adoption. Because that move by MS is not friendly for them.

And I don't mean just support, I mean actual wider adoption that will take Windows on for real.

bisher: Anything can be relevant, it's the question of what's better. As I said, I don't see C as being better for making games or anything that Rust can do as well.

Those who claim C is better never dealt with the horrors of oversized projects that try to stretch C limitations in bizarre ways because the language is so antiquated and limited by today's standards.

And the second point - I'm totally not interested in proving this. It's not about personal taste, it's about progress of languages design. If you don't get it - good, you'll get it eventually. If not - keep using C if it suits you. That won't stop others from criticizing it.

Quoting: aristoriasListen, I've been doing professional software engineering for the past 20 years and I therefore know very well what I am talking about ;-). Do you? Or maybe you got a language barrier there, I can't tell.

I don't know for how long you have been doing it, but you sounded pretty clueless about Rust above.

@aristorias: all of that is pretty wrong, but if you want proper sources and not myths, go find what actual developers say. I wouldn't touch C for big projects if Rust is an option.

Thanks, I'll try with those params and will make a patch to be able to put the game in a specific location.

Quoting: Avehicle7887No you don't! - http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ [External Link] :tongue:

Is there a way to set some decent resolution in it (or may be it can scale to some higher res without resorting to windowed mode or messing up the desktop by setting fullscreen to low ones)?

Also, I wish they supported a way to set custom user directory and also use XDG base dir spec. I'll probably write a patch, but Sourceforge? Who is using it these days?
