Quoting: tmtvlNeat. Too bad it's Ubuntu, we don't need Canonical to grow too big for their shoes.

I still think it is a good distro for people.
Maybe not the most recent stuff in there, but that is not needed if it is a solid experience.
They reverted bad ideas like amazon lense so why should we still bad mouth them?

My Computer dual boots into Kubuntu 20.04 and i like it. There is a problem with the old nvidia card, but i can safely blame nvidia for that and go to my amd.
The problem is hardware not the distro.

Quoting: mylkamaybe because there arent many games like it
desperados, robin hood, commandos... i think thats pretty much it

I would add Chicago 1930 & partisans 1941 to the list. Shadow Tactics already is there

There is actually quite a lot of Egypt based games coming up.

Egyt : old Kingdown and Egypt: Predynastic,
although you don't see much of your Kingdom. It is more turn based decisions on a regional map.
Not enough micro management and looking at your city like the pharao/zeus/caesar games.
A true pharao successor needs more. The Julius engine is ok, but it won't touch HD textures any time soon.
SO i am looking forward to this game and builders of egypt , which is another town builder game set in that time epoch :)

Clearly the Desperados 3 Demo , only 10 days left until the release.
Looking forward to the improving wine releases to deal with the Windows MediaFramework requirements of many modern games.

I still hope they continue working on their old translation layer too not just Vulkan

Weren't there attempts to create mesa front ends for dx as well for higher dx versions? It would be interesting to see if the vk layer has disadvantages due to more converting needed

Not necessarily, it may just not be part of the keynote and come independently later.

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: ShmerlNothing on their previous driver open sourcing statement? Sounds like things aren't getting better on the Linux front.

It's literally a hardware event.
OSSing the drivers wouldn't fix anything btw, it'd only make them uncompetitive for a few years, just as it happened with amd. Plus who wants to stay on bleeding-edge just to get a driver update?

They had it planned for the original in person event, so regardless of solving problems, it would still be interesting what it is. At least we can laugh at it ;)
