Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban
Must be so "smart" to ban potentially paying users. Morons.

And Tim Sweeney can move to Canada and get lost.

Not using it, but I see a ton of reports that it's bugged in the game.

I suppose they'll follow up with bug fixes soon enough.

That's cool and a good move for Microsoft.

How will Wine handle it, will they pull in changes from .NET's fork back into Mono?

Quoting: EhvisMinimal performance gain over the previous series.
Seems to be comparable to improvements from Zen 3 to Zen 4. Not sure that's called minimal. I'm more interested in how well eco mode will perform.

Quoting: EhvisStill can't seem to compete with the X3Ds though, so it'll be interesting to see what that could do for this series.
It would be interesting if high end models will have full core coverage with extra cache in X3D and will avoid the asymmetrical set up.

I might upgrade and then try to sell current CPU. That would recover some of the costs. Though I'd also wait until X3D versions will appear. If they'll have one with extra cache for all cores that would be something new to consider.

FNA gets Direct3D 11 support on Linux thanks to DXVK

I don't get why they need to go around translating DX11 into Vulkan, can't they use Vulkan directly?

And if they want a lighter abstraction, why not use other layers on top of Vulkan like wgpu or something like that? DX11 doesn't sound like the best option.
