My guess is that they're using qemu under containers (so you get a binary stable user-space to run the virtualization stuff)

Hope it improves, I'm a fan of the original skylines but got disappointed at the whole "made in unreal demo" that turned up just like a skylines 1 + mods looking version :sick:

NVIDIA Beta driver 580.65.06 released for Linux with bug fixes and expanded Wayland support

I don't understand the bad vkd3d-proton performance everybody is complaining about.

Try to play Once human using dx12 while teleporting across regions. On windows, no problem. On linux, major stuttering

KDE Plasma 6.3 will have much better fractional scaling
16 Dec 2024 at 12:27 pm UTC

Quoting: legluondunetHow is KDE plasma behavior today? Is it enough stable for a daily use and gaming ? How is it resources consuming ? I prefer light DE and keep resources for gaming.

At least on X11, as long as you disable akonadi, Plasma should be lighter than XFCE and much more so than Gnome. I use it daily for work and gaming, plenty stable. Even if you use NVIDIA and it crashes stuff as is usually does, the workspace should handle it gracefully

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

Don't fool yourselves, the new .NET doesn't have UI support that what's needed for wine. No proper winforms or WPF for that matter. Also, the new UI framework MAUI quietly dropped linux support and has no plans at all to have it done, so .NET for linux is server-side only officially unless you build a separate UI for the app using a thirdy-party framework
