Nothing on their previous driver open sourcing statement? Sounds like things aren't getting better on the Linux front.

Cyberpunk point and click 'VirtuaVerse' is out now and looks incredible

Incredible soundtrack indeed. I'm still in the middle of TW3 playthrough, so will probably play VirtuaVerse after that. Bought it on GOG right away.

As a reminder, Bandcamp waives their share of proceeds every first Friday of the month to support artists during the pandemic :)

Thanks for the pointer, I'm going to buy the OST there :)

X370 works with Ryzen 3000 though (at least Asrock X370 Taichi does).

The Linux 'Desktop Entry Specification' gets a way to automatically use a discrete GPU, merged into GNOME

Quoting: GuestThe next step is up to NVidia to get their Optimus Support on Linux in order and more out of the box. Without the requirement for 3rd party tools or patched XOrg servers... x.x

That likely will never happen, until Nvidia will start upstreaming their kernel driver and follow all DRM/KMS upstream requirements.

There was some speculation that Nvidia's "open source announcement" could be about their plans to do it. But so far it didn't happen.

Great, I was waiting for XDG base dir support in DosBox for a long time. Switch to SDL 2 is also a major plus.
