Original Painkiller is a classic. Is this considered a sequel or remake?

Linux kernel 6.14 out late due to 'pure incompetence' - don't get too excited about Linux gaming boosts

Tried to build wine + ntsync, but those patches can't be applied on top of wine 10.4. I guess we'll have to wait until it's rebased.

I remember that for a long time on arch you needed the zen kernel for fsync? Is that not the case anymore?I think that should be in upstream, but named as futex2.

fsync was never upstreamed, and applying fsync patches over Wine was a mess. I used esync from staging instead. So it would be nice to finally replace it with upstream ntsync.

Nice to see Valve sponsoring KDE development. Hopefully they plan it long term.
I would like to see KDE 6 on the Steam Deck.What version does it use now? Plasma 5 is EOL for a while already.
Mesa 25.1 will default to Zink+NVK instead of the old Nouveau OpenGL driver for NVIDIA on Linux

Not familiar with how DLSS accesses the GPU though. If it's using some standard Vulkan path - it might work. If it's not, Nvidia will have to contribute whatever is missing. Or someone else who cares to reverse engineer it.

struct native_req_assets *native_req_assets_get(struct native_info *native_info);Since DLSS is some proprietary Nvidia blob, the question goes other way around. Is there a possibility for DLSS to support nova+nvk? I wouldn't count on it.

Zink still lack va-api supportI think someone should create VA-API over Vulkan video for that.
