Wine 5.12 is out - better RawInput and WebSocket API support
4 Jul 2020 at 1:02 pm UTC
Quoting: Avehicle7887I hope the Staging release will bring back esync/fsync support, it has been disabled for some time now and I've stuck to Wine 5.8 since some games perform better.
According to https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-July/169359.html [External Link]

NOTE: Currently the esync patchset has been disabled until it can be
rebased.
The Linux market share appears to continue rising with Ubuntu winning

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.
What have you been playing recently and what's your pick this weekend?

Desperados 3, and we will even get a native version eventually :grin:

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
Pharaoh-like isometric city builder Nebuchadnezzar confirmed for GOG and Steam

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 :)
What are you clicking on this weekend? Come tell us

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.
Wine 5.9 is out with major WineD3D Vulkan work
22 May 2020 at 9:04 pm UTC
I still hope they continue working on their old translation layer too not just Vulkan
Come tell us about what you've been gaming on Linux lately

Shadow Tactics, now that Desperados 3 is almost there
Direct3D to Vulkan gets even better with DXVK 1.7
16 May 2020 at 8:38 pm UTC
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
NVIDIA have now formally announced the Ampere GPU architecture

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