Nice thing they blocked it. As an Ubuntu MATE user I might consider moving to Mint MATE. Gonna give it a shot

Steam Play Proton 5.0-8 has released (update: 5.0-9 too)

Quoting: Wernerso you still use the dx9 version? If so then switch to dx11 and no "Out of memory" issue anymore and it runs better in my eyes then the dx9 mode

Quoting: BrazilianGamerI still get the "Out of memory" error with the 5.x.x release family with Rocket league. It works well with the 4.11 version though
The problem is that when I use the dx11 version, it runs slower because it uses my whole monitor space which is ultrawide. And my laptop can't render this extra space so my frame rate drops. And I can only include black bars on this remaining space by using the dx9 version

Quoting: BrazilianGamerWell, the Linux foundation is already owned by M$ and Google because of all the dollars that flow in so, the only person we can trust there is Linus.
Who is sponsoring Linus Torvalds again so he can work full time on the kernel?
Of course they're are not that dumb to stop paying him. He's Linux foundation's Golden egg goose if you know what I mean.

Quoting: BrazilianGamerI really don't trust the Linux foundation
Ah! Ok... This what it's all about. The only thing that I can say is that we have to trust that it's going to continue to be the way it's been for the past few years. Many conflicting/opposing interests are supporting the Linux Foundation and should act as a counter power to Microsoft's inlfuence. It's not like MS is the sole investor.
I didn't say it was. I even mentioned Google. Well if you want to trust them, then it's on you. Everyone is free to act however they like. I keep trusting Linus only and his work as the Kernel maintainer
Saying that I trust them is exagerated, but saying that I trust in the Foundation's structure is more accurate. I may be naive though. As for code review and this is the most important part, from what I understand, they have awesome folks working on that, not only Linus.
Indeed. At least when he retires there's people to pass the torch to

Quoting: BrazilianGamerI consider RedHat the legit Linux foundation.
You mean IBM?
Well, not really. RedHat was acquired by them but they still have the freedom to manage their own business. They respond to IBM but AFAIK they're not controlled by them specifically regarding their moves towards the FLOSS community which is mostly composed by Linux users/devs

Quoting: BrazilianGamerBut hopefully, when M$ gives the word, Linus will just leave...
Why? I don't know much about the Linux Foundation's legal structure, but it should just be a matter of saying to MS to keep it's dirty money and be on their way, thus keeping the Linux foundation intact and independent. It's a shame if it's not thus.

Afterall, Linus is good to show the middle finger to big players. :D
Well i thought the same way like you but after realizing how much money they get from these corporations and the minimum amount of effort towards the community, I just got the conclusion they just care about money and that's all. Did you know that Linus himself gets paid less than the CEO of Linux foundation. The fucking creator of it all gets paid less than an irrelevant guy on a suit. Do you know how expensive the tickets for the LinuxCon organized by them is? I mean, IMHO it should be free for all since they are paid millions of dollars by all donators they have. And do you know where all this money goes to? Yeah, neither do I. Lots of FLOSS projects dying because they don't have enough funding to keep on and Linux foundation itself claims it exists for the best interest of the community and what they do about it? Nothing. I consider RedHat the legit Linux foundation. They are the ones that help Linux the most, contribute a lot to the Kernel and listen to the community. They've donated to lots of FLOSS projects and even some of their employees maintain packages of some distros like Fedora. And no one donated to them because they are a private company that succeeded by supporting the community and making their business in the open AFAIK. That was a little rant but that's what I see today in our community. I really don't trust the Linux foundation
