Have you not heard of the Steam Deck and Proton? Running MS APIs through a compatibility layer is the main goal for Linux gaming for the past few years, as it allows legacy games that had no hope in getting a Linux native port (or a terrible Linux port) to run in Linux, through the Proton Compatibility layer.

The apps I was using were running with DXVK, but due to a bug with intel iGPU driver which affects both Windows and Linux users, it didn't work. A Intel Mesa update patched the bug, and my game worked better. When I moved back I was on an older driver and had to wait for it to be added in.

This comes from personal testing of games. There was a DX11 bug intel igpus where UE4 games crash instantly on boot. I was able to work around this by forcing dx12 in arch, but when I moved to fedora it wasn’t working, that was until about 2 months later after an update. Since I don’t know exactly how far behind fedora is in terms of graphics drivers I said it in ambiguous terms.

I think the fish is one of the many ~~excuses~~ reason she’ll keep the foundation, since dunk doesn’t want it.

From my personal experience Arch is several months ahead of other distros and depending on the package and sometimes has everything you need already included for gaming.

I believe this is due to the Steam Deck.

However for ease of use, I agree there are other better distros. Fedora is only 2ish months behind arch in terms of graphics drivers and Ubuntu… has the latest proton from steam and lutris since proton isn’t installed from the local app stores.

This has been going on forever in the GT series. Like the limited time cars in GT5.

That said a lot of these mechanics were designed for a time when other game modes existed that could compensate for them. Like in GT5 where you can “train” an AI to race as their race chief.

I named mine The Stig. And just let him race until it was so good that I could leave it alone at a 12 hour race event and went to sleep. When I woke up I had enough cash and bought a Lamborghini and a Ferrari.

They feel nice too. I love chamfering and filleting my designs when possible

Using my cells camera. Probably could've put more effort into the shot, but honestly don't want any more eBay and etsy sellers to sell my stuff using my images.

Bad images are my defense against it

For the first time in over 10 years. LBP Vita. Wanted to record it and just got sucked back in.

Also playing LBP PSP but not getting as sucked in

Well Roz already made terminators in the last prepub. I vote she makes Skynet next.

I was more going for ease of use. If you are playing the latest and greatest then I agree you’d probably want Arch based or at the minimum Fedora based distributions. However if you are playing some more stable games, or I do titles and Ubuntu is fine. The updates will come.

My SO enjoys Zorin. Based on Ubuntu (like pop os) but had built in themes that makes the desktop environment easily customizable.

They found it easy to use and set up.

Anything locally sourceable. For me it's a local company called Eureka Technologies that sells filament for a good price, but also in between batch filaments called Random for $8 that's perfect for prototyping.

Other than that there is a local Canada Computer that sells ANet, Sunlu, and flash forge filament that works well enough.
