Quoting: GuestToo bad they did not decide to make a keyboard with properly aligned keys.Do you mean an ortholinear layout or something about the spacing?
System76 tease shots of their custom Keyboard and release the source code

Ideally, you need to take the time and figure out which keys and shortcuts you need most often (lots of typing measurements to go through) and which of your fingers are most flexible and in which directions, but it will be worth it. Plus, no-one will ever ask to use your computer again :P
Here's my current layout [External Link] if you're interested. Pretty much everything is on or around the home row through the use of layers and it lets me type one-handed as well with either hand (great for when you're on the phone).

Quoting: drlambI've been using an Ergodox EZ Shine for a couple of years now, due to carpal tunnel syndrome and mild psoriatic arthritis and I consider it one of the best purchases of my life. Together with a proper layout (I recommend Dvorak or a custom BEAKL15 layout - that's what I'm using these days) a keyboard like this can alleviate a lot of finger and wrist pains; I now have to put on a compression/heat glove only once every few months instead of daily.Quoting: ArehandoroQuoting: minkiuHow do you like these keyboards? Did it take long to get used to them? I attempted to use one before I knew how to type properly and it was a mind bender.
I have issues typing on standard keyboards comfortably due to American football injuries to both hands. This led me to prefer chiclet keyboards over mechanical due to the low actuation force. It wasn't until I forced myself to learn to type properly that ergonomic keyboards started to "click" for me. I've now got the logitech Ergo K860 [External Link] and I love it. If this keyboard had back-lighting and the build quality of the MX keys it would be perfect in my eyes.
The open source firmware and the fact that system76 makes this keyboard makes me want it but I'm afraid it would be physically painful for me to use. Hopefully there is an ample return window as I'd really like to try it.

A couple of the bars looked like they matched the scale * 10, but I now see that it's a percentage scale, not absolute numbers :P
Never mind me, carry on!

Quoting: Liam DaweQuoting: CybolicIs it just me or is the scale for the "x11 Desktop" graph off? It seems to show the number by a tenth (ie. 5 instead of 50).I'm not seeing anything wrong, can you screenshot and circle what you mean?
Spoiler, click me

Impressive racing game DRAG gets a big driving-physics update
5 Jan 2021 at 1:07 am UTC
In any case, DRAG is a native title, so nothing to worry about here :)

Quoting: slaapliedjeSounds like trolling... but I'll bite as well. Last time I tried dual booting, I was actually getting better FPS through Wine under Linux than I was Windows and I know from benchmarks that this still happens with various games (especially slightly older titles). These days, most games will run about the same on either platform, some a bit better here, others a bit better there. Of course, your mileage may vary, but in general I don't recall ever having FPS issues due to Linux and not due to the hardware (or buggy games of course).Quoting: AkonadyI wanna know something not related specifically to this game but with games in general.Not sure if troll... but I was playing Destroy All Humans just fine at 3840x1200 the other night. Fun game!
What do you feel like playing on Linux (not native games), losing lots of fps, basically wasting the full potential of your hardware?

NVIDIA release big new Linux driver with 460.27.04, LunarG Vulkan SDK Ray Tracing ready

Haven't checked if it works though either :)

I hope it doesn't take Nvidia too long to incorporate this extension into their drivers.Quoting: ikirutoRTX 2060 and Ryzen 1700 works without problems on Proton-Experimental with the settings in the screenshots and hex fix.It seems the fix should be in exe for Nvidia. (second hand info though)

At this rate, doesn't Wine actually have better general Windows compatibilities now than Win7/8 did when they came out?

Quoting: scaine[...]As for Cyberpunk - it's a no from me. CDPR is just not a company I'm interested in supporting.I'm in the same boat, but a friend of mine gave me the game as a gift yesterday so now I'm thinking I may as well give it a go to get the Linux numbers up if nothing else.
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti arrives December 2, hits RTX 2080 SUPER level performance

Of course, my main gripe with NVIDIA is still the missing VR reprojection on Linux, but now you have a bit of background on how well things have been working in general as well.
Honestly I think the driver installation situation is about equal for NVIDIA and AMD (though the built-in AMD driver gives a slight win there for general usage). For gaming I think the issue for AMD is distribution support for the driver options and for NVIDIA, well, it's NVIDIA :P

Quoting: slaapliedjeMy experience has been that:Quoting: ShmerlSee, I have had the exact opposite experience. The Radeon laptop that I have, it worked mistly with the fglrx driver, but would break all the time as it wouldn't work either with a newer kernel, or xorg. Then there was a point in time where it fit in that tiny slit of not being supported by the open source driver OR fglrx, and I basically had to switch to Windows...Quoting: slaapliedjeI have been using nvidia for years, and it has pretty much been 'just works'.I remember Nvidia breaking more than once due to kernel updates and I remember Nvidia messing up my install to the point of frustration and wiping out the whole OS to reinstall. Not upstreaming their driver has consequences. Ditching the blob felt very good and I'm not interested in going back to that horror :)
- My ATI Rage 128 took forever to get support but eventually worked (this was back in 2000/2001, so not much point in comparing further)
- My Radeon (some mid-2000s laptop model, sorry can't remember more) worked wonderfully in Linux but had shoddy 3D performance (it was fine, but not great - laptop though), great experience otherwise, solid hardware and fantastic TV output (yes, it was that long ago)
- my GeForce 680, 980 and 1080 Ti all worked well in games, but the 980 and 1080 Ti both had weird things happening: lots of kernel incompatibilities, system freezes were common (better now, but still happen, especially with VT switching, CUDA, NVdec or VDPAU - basically anything that's supposed to give NVIDIA an advantage) and OpenGL texture corruption and/or texture sync (don't ask, I'm still not sure what it it precisely, but any desktop compositor will go out of sync with actual framebuffers eventually and require a restart - still happens with compton, picom, Mutter and KWin).

Quoting: LiamDaweArriving for Windows on December 3, Feral Interactive have confirmed that it will arrive on Linux (and macOS) "shortly" after Windows. This could be anything from a day to a few weeks, hopefully not long though.
