Sounds like somehting similar to Quantum League or something with Timeloop, but with some strategy elements, maybe building defences etc. Where you play your character for few loops and then watch the action unfold at the end.

Quoting: Matombo@ The People saying Plasma is unstable, you are probably running Ubuntu?
Thing is, as far as I'm aware, kde has no lts branch, so if you want the latest bugfixes you need the latest version, but ubuntu is stuck to whatever version was the one on release, so 20.04 is lacking behind in bugfixes over 1 and a half year now. 18.03 3 and a half year.
Extra points if by change the version on release was one with a lot of new not throughly tested features.

I was running on Arch Linux. Dolphin was the worst offender. Sometimes it didn't refresh the contents of the directory. like when extracting a zip/rar or whatever archive, it didn't update its contents automatically. It also crashed from time to time. The list view of files didn't auto-resize its columns according to the window size, so i had the horizontal scrollbar to see the file creation dates for example on smaller window. Panel settings were a finnicky. Sometimes changing something messed all up and panel resized itself weirdly. Main menu just straight up segfaulted several times without loading at all, had to use legacy main menu (or launcher was it called iirc). Kwin, while it worked mostly without issues, there were times when everything froze on the screen, mouse input and all worked, but playing videos or the window refreshes didn't update, had to disable/enable compositing to make it work again. Also for whatever reason kwin compositor didn't turn off when launching games in proton for whatever reason, had to manually turn it off. Worked fine with native games. plasmashell was eating RAM like no tomorrow after several days of uptime.. it creeped up to 3.5GB at times for this process alone.

Just to name few issues i had during my 5-6 month of using it.

edit: i used 5.21, 5.22 and 5.23 iirc

Quoting: KallestofelesMaybe one day, in a perfect world, KDE would finally become stable enough to daily drive it. But I guess that's besides the point.

Exactly that.
Used it for last 5-6 months..while it was mostly stable and working fine, there were loads of small annoying issues and bugs and sometimes updates changed some settings or moved things around.

Switched back to MATE for now, but surely will be checking back to KDE in the future, cause i liked the overall experience minus the annoying issues.

Tbh, this is kinda stupid change..i mean i get it, its better for steamdeck, but i can't see the option to have the old layout anymore. Now i have to click a lot more to enable things.

Quoting: scaineThe only one from this list that interests me is Detroit: Become Human, but I'm not that interested, unless they suddenly decide to offer a native version.

Its almost native. its using Vulkan :) I completed the game under linux without any issues or performance problems. A bit too much QTE crap for me, but well this is the type of game. The story is amazingly well crafted and makes you really think about some things(not spoiling).

according to Plagman from Linux Gaming Dev discord, the BattlEye runtime is a separate runtime just for the reasons that i could be used a long with other proton/wine versions also. So its not only packaged into the proton. I guess its proprietary runtime for obvious reasons, but can be used with wine also probably in the future if not yet.

Ohh nice. Hopefully they fixed the weird mouse issues on the linux client also. I guess have to test when i get time.

Quoting: BeamboomBut three of those titles (Bioshock, Hitman, Saints Row) are Linux native and have always worked?

Yes, except Saints Row the Third performance is horrible on the "native" client

Thanks for explanation.

The modesetting driver part i could search myself also, but my point actually was that there are so many little things. like if you search for what modesetting driver is, then you get anther set of questions. What is KMS what is DRM..then you search for this and even more new questions arise :)

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: TrainDocI think that this is maintainers realizing some bugs can't just be left to rot and decided to patch up before they leave.

Variable refresh rate support sounds like a major thing to me, though?

But the question is, what did it improve?
VRR has been working on X for long time.. the only issue has been that it has been working only with 1 monitor active.
Does that change that? what the F is modesetting driver, what does it improve for the end user?
