Thanks for the pointer. I've never heard of this game.

Quoting: slaapliedjeYeah, I'm in the USA where they don't even think Sony makes phones, it's pretty much Samsung or Apple... Though I'll be honest, I bought a Sony Xperia (z2 I think?) a few years ago and... it's actually the best 'pure Android' that I've used, as most of the time non-Samsung Androids are kind of terrible... at least in my experience. Still think the N900 and N9 were years ahead in their design...
Xperia XA2 will work fine, but it doesn't have VoLTE in SailfishOS, so it will get cut off on most providers.

May be Xperia 5 III will get support eventually.

Quoting: tuubiSailfish OS [External Link] works fine for me on my Sony Xperia 10, with official support from Jolla. But unless you're in "the countries of the European Union, UK, Norway [or] Switzerland", you're out of luck.
You can list yourself as there and be elsewhere. They don't stop you :) It works in other countries.

Color syncing reminds SailfishOS ambience idea. Cool concept and it's nice to see.

Waiting for Debian testing to finally get Qt 5.15.4 to be able to switch to the KDE Wayland session and avoid that nasty monitor sleep bug.

Quoting: TimeFreezeI'll be surprised if the promised Linux version will actually happen.
Night Dive are usually good at releasing Linux versions. But I guess we'll see.

Looks promising. I'm a backer so I'm looking forward to the release.

AMD tease roadmap for Zen 4, Zen 5, RDNA 3 and more

I think those sizes aren't referring to literal transistors anymore, so it can be misleading.

I wonder if they'll have 16 core / 32 thread CPUs with V-cache and that will compare to non V-cache ones from the game generation.

Quoting: mr-victoryThe month has passed already but anyways, if I am using nvidia open kernel modules should I propriearty or open source GPU driver? Theoritically I should choose open source becuase pretty much every GPU deiver is propriearty firmware + open software stack except on Nvidia open all graphics stack is in the firmware.
I think the question is now confusing becasue it doesn't differentiate kernel driver and graphics stack like OpenGL / Vulkan. Before there was no option to have a mix.

Looks like AMD GPU growth trend is back to normal now, since shortages and overpricing are finally over.
