Quoting: chancho_zombieif they wanted they could provide a third party repo on opensuse OBS, it's really easy. I'm pretty sure if Ubuntu drops all 32bit libs all together someone will stand up and maintain a 3rd party repo.

It's possible, but in such case why not move to a distro which provides such support directly? I think most distros actually don't plan to drop multiarch. Yet.

Would be interesting to see, what will happen going forward, and if other distros will follow Ubuntu.

Quoting: sprocketI wouldn't move to an Ubuntu-based derivative like Mint, though, because the decisions that affect Ubuntu will affect those derivatives.

Yes, obviously I don't recommend moving to Ubuntu derivatives in such case, since they'll be impacted the same way. Debian is indeed good. Ubuntu users should probably move to Debian testing, or at the very least stable+backports. Standard Debian stable would feel too outdated, since it has a longer release cycle than Ubuntu itself.

My recommendation - move to a distro that doesn't plan to drop x86_32 multiarch, and do it already today, not when Ubuntu will cut you off for good.

On the core issue itself. Some of their justifications for the move are real. I.e. such as burden of support for 32-bit, when it's deteriorating upstream. Though I think first step to reduce the burden could be dropping the distro, while keeping multiarch around. Second is may be reducing actively maintained list of 32-bit packages instead of dropping them all. But Ubuntu went all the way, which is very disruptive for gamers especially.

I didn't keep track of this game, and didn't buy it at release. But it looks very good. And I like well done pixel art metroidvanias. Owlboy is a masterpiece. Wishlisted.

Great to see Daedalic releasing for Linux, while so many publishers keep dropping out.

I'm interested in the software support for it. Will they use full open stack (OpenHMD, Monado, etc.). Valve were very quiet about it.

Quoting: sbolokanovI have one and only question: But does Witcher 3 get performance like on Windows?

No idea, but I personally don't care to compare it to Windows, since I'm not using it. I evaluate performance based on my hardware. And TW3 runs very well. Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 produces around 70-80 fps on 1920x1200 on max settings (hairworks off).

For higher resolution, I plan to get Navi though.

Quoting: tmtvl]I wonder if we can do a git bisect of the plugin to find where it broke... if the thing is OSS, of course.

It's not. It's a blob.

Just bought the game. The sound bug is indeed there and using .so provided by @Avehicle7887 helps. I didn't look closely, but I suppose either audiokinetic have messed up something between releases. It could also be related to changes in SDL, since it's using SDL to open audio devices.

With non working .so it produces such errors:

AK Error: Plug-in not registered: 8323075

With the working one it doesn't.

Searching around, it's not the only game bitten by this bug.
