Quoting: The_Aquabatmore space waste, another drop in the ocean. who cares right?

The gnome is piggybacking on an already planned launch with 2 other payloads. Besides, it's all going in low earth orbit where space debris aren't really a problem (they de-orbit themselves after a while).

How long before someone recompiles the game for ARM and plays it on a Pinebook ? :wink:

Quoting: poiuz

We also know from what's already been said, to expect Fedora Linux to be rolled out to the ThinkPad P1 Gen2 and ThinkPad P53

Quoting: CatKillerFedora were very insistent that they'd only take part if they were using standard images of software from Fedora's repos.

I really wonder how this is supposed to work. As far I can tell, all ThinkPad P53 have a nVidia GPU. Without the proprietary driver features are missing (obviously GPU power, but also all display outputs are handled by the nVidia GPU and the power consumption could be higher).

According to Jason from Linux4Everyone (who got one of those P53 early), the base image ships with the nouveau driver and you have to manually enable third-party repositories to download the proprietary nvidia driver.
I'm sure there's good reasons for that, but I wish they would have gone the PopOS route and made the proprietary driver the default instead. Especially considering that this machine is aimed at professional who most definitely want to use the full power of their Quadro GPU.

David Stark sounds like a nice and humble dude. Congrats on the milestone :smile:

Huh, that looks pretty interesting. To the wishlist it goes.

I've spent 20+ hours last week on Hades and had an absolute blast. I already loved all previous Supergiant games, but they really knocked it out of the park this time. Great gameplay, great visuals, great soundtrack, excellent writing, and a seemingly endless amount of content despite the game still being in Early Access.

The voice acting in particular deserves a mention. In the patch notes, Supergiant said they recorded over 17000 voice lines for this game and honestly I believe it. It's just crazy. Even after 20 hours I'm still finding new dialogue and I've hardly heard any voice line repeated twice. It's rare to see that much effort put into a AAA game, and unheard of for an indie.

Sadly, we still don't know if a native Linux version is in the works (all their previous games had one). They said they're looking into "other platforms" but made no promises. The game is pretty much click&play with Proton though. It can get a bit stutterry in some of the most intense boss fights, but hard to say if it's due to Proton or the game itself.

I've been going through the list of games bought from the itch.io bundle. Two games done, only 1739 remaining lol.

The 2 games I've played are Milkmaid of the Milky Way (point and click) and Sky Rogue (flight combat). Both really good surprises.

It's a paid DLC, but they've been pumping the base game full of free content for those past few years. So it's totally fair IMHO.

Quoting: BielFPs

Quoting: YoRHa-2BWat?

XWayland generally does work with native games and wine, but there are a ton of issues, especially related to the Vulkan WSI, so you sometimes get weird performance, Vsync may or may not be broken, etc.

Good to know, I've read somewhere that one of the problems with wayland and games is the lack of hw acceleration with xwayland, so the performance would be terrible

But of course, I'm far from being an expert in this subject

Nvidia doesn't support XWayland yet, so HW acceleration is disabled if you have an Nvidia card (applications do run, but on the CPU and with abysmal performance). It works fine on Intel and AMD though (minus the problems mentioned by YoRHa-2B).
