Any news on AVX-512 ?
More brute force is cool, but we might want to code in a more clever way at some point ?

Also, those price :O
I did pre-order a pinebook pro (not even a librem) that's as much I can spend, also I'd love to get my hands at a valve index at some point..
But wages don't linearly grow along with the hardware prices...

That's one more reason to go against planned obsolescence.. I feel like a pin voltage issue could be handled on the motherboard or at least standardized instead of locking everything down to yet a new socket. . .

I'm so disappointed..
"Exclusives". "Don't be evil" my a**.

Worst thing is Jade Raymond came up with Assassin's Creed so no doubt she'll create a successful amazing IP. Yet I wish they fail, it's time we get interoperable platforms for gaming ffs.

Hi there!

I usually don't think my gaming experience is relevant, though I'm quite proud about my latest doings.

First of all I finally finished all achievements of Portal 2 including the co-op ones, and for which I'd like to thank Valve for their transparent cross-platform system (can't be perfect, my friend was on windows). Yet Valve really have been involved in developing native Linux versions, shootout to them!

Then I finished XCom: enemy unknown, great game, a bit stressful as you play against the clock while trying to keep tour base afloat. Great port, nothing more to say, and I'd like to thank Feral Interactive for that!

Then I could finally come back on my favourite mmorpg, Guild Wars 2, thanks to a custom installer found on the forums, as the Lutris install script didn't perform that well, though it's only some tweaking steps away to actually make it into an install script. Shootout to the gw2 community and the D9VK developers!

Ultimately I managed to have a massive laugh out of a Star Citizen mining expedition with the LUG organization/community on the latest 3.7.0 updatw. The game is promising and its performance on Linux are quite decent. I kept crashing for a couple of hours but once all my shaders were compiled them game was stable and ran smoothly (I have a 7 years old AMD FX8350). Anyway, the LUG community recently managed to figured out the black texture issue people were experiencing from the RC patches (called PTU). Shootout to the community and everyone that's making possible, from the wine developers to dxvk and but also Lutris!

Thank you guys!

PS: this signs my Solus treason to the profit of Manjaro adoption.

Farewell badges...
I used to farm crates that I was selling to afford to buy cards and craft the badges I don't have yet...

Probably a whole 3€ market economy since I started...

Quoting: LinasAnd if you do like to live on the edge, there is Debian Testing, which is a perpetually rolling release.

Stable definitely have way too old software and lib versions for me.
Even testing can still have a bit of delay, I had to be on sid.
That said though, I don't recommend this to anyone, as it's fairly risky. But if you keep your system simple and do backups, it's cutting edge linux. :D

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAre they? The other day a co-worker who has no involvement with Linux was snarking about the Epic store, saying it was a joke and had like 20 games.

Well, Metro exodus was quite the drama. I wouldn't be surprised more dev does the same. Also free game every 2 weeks en Epic store + Fortnite, they might be gaining more more market share (of course very slowly but yet).

Quoting: SolitaryWell, hopefully it's gonna be cheap, with Steam they can make money later with people buying VR games. VR needs to be more common to flourish, so it wouldnt make sense to keep it expensive hobby. Price of admission will go down with every VR generation.

They are still facing a lot of publishers switching to Epic store. So money might not be so great lately. :(
(Hence so much effort to get both Linux and VR on tracks so they become leader of a new huge market.) IMHO

So are they still partnering with HTC ?
Will they keep distributing all those headsets ?
(Vive, Vive Pro, Vive Cosmos, Vive Focus AND Index ?)
