Quoting: JungleRobbaI'd be very interested in statistics on X11 vs Wayland usage, maybe as a separate question or just more DE entries. I've been using Sway for work for a while but I feel that over this year it has become quite viable for gaming usage as well. There are very few situations where I find myself having to start i3 again.

Wayland stats would be interesting, but it still has major downsides for gaming, such as lack of adaptive sync support.

AMD GPUs are almost at 1/3 of GOL stats. Growing well.

It's been playable with d9vk for some time already.

What's the story with GOG by the way? Developers suddenly just pulled the game from there at one point.

Impressive pixel art. Did they say anything about GOG / itch release?

Quoting: YoRHa-2Boff-line compilation = shipping pre-compiled binaries for your GPU. You'd do this on consoles.

I guess it helps them avoid this stutter and need for caching, but it also has a major downside - games break on each new console generation (assuming it has new GPU generation too), unless developers recompile them. It's also what held AMD back from going all the way from scratch in RDNA, requiring them to provide backwards compatibility for GCN microarchitecture - requirement from console makers not to break old games.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkI do not see how you think optical media is worse than hard drives.

Yeah, there is this [External Link]:

TSMC has announced a threefold increase in its delivery lead times for 7 nm orders, from two months to nearly six months, which means that orders will now have to wait three times longer to be fulfilled than they once did. This means that current channel supplies and orders made after the decision from TSMC will take longer to materialize in actual silicon, which may lead to availability slumps should demand increase or maintain.

On a side note, AMD might partner with Samsung to use their fabs as well.

Yeah, my general impression - they are very cheap about support issues. Which is not appropriate for developers.
