Intel Gets Hogwarts Legacy Running On Linux Driver By Pretending Not To Be Intel Graphics
  • I wanted to reply something like that it's not mind blowing at all for anyone capable of having multiple opinions but then I saw your profile picture and I'm done. Mind if I download it and share in our group so others can see and laugh a bit? Sorry, already did.

  • AFAIK the game does the opposite (it supports trans... people... damn that was hard to write...) which is the reason I never bought it, so unless I'm wrong you would not support Rowling by buying it because it's trying to do the opposite. There's even a trans character in a pub.

  • I myself boycotted Hogwarts Legacy because they forced a trans character there on purpose although nothing like that ever was in HP books.

  • The author of vim has sadly passed away
  • Nano user here but I still appreciate all the Vim work and it's a pity that the world lost such a talended person. RIP.

  • Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
  • Nice but I'm surprised it took this long when Apple is doing its best to make OSX the worst possible platform for gaming.

  • Is AMD really that much better?
  • I was thinking the same, FGLRX was a nightmare, it was so bad I would even call it a work of art because it's probably impossible to create a driver that would be worse that that crap. I escaped to Nvidia back in 2012 with pure hate against AMD, but now, 11 years later, I have returned and I'm happy that the Radeon situation is now so amazingly good. Thinking about that, I think I started losing hair around the time when FGLRX was a thing and it might not be a coincidence.

  • Is AMD really that much better?
  • If you don't care about ray tracing, AMD is just better. The Wayland experience is completely issue-free and the extra VRAM really helps with Proton because DXVK/VKD3D usually consumes more memory. I had Nvidia for 10 years, then I carefully tried AMD and I'm not going back, thinking of buying 7800/7900 XT now. I was worried about OBS and encoding because I do let's plays and it's not so good but I found out that if I encode the video via Ryzen integrated GPU and play the game on the dedicated GPU, I can achieve excellent quality with great performance. VAAPI gets overloaded easily if a single GPU is doing both gaming and encoding but my Ryzen 7600 iGPU does a great job, I think I even achieved better quality/performance with AMD than what I had before with NVENC.

  • What operating system do you use on your main computer?
  • Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.

  • Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?
  • Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.

  • What are your favorite games to play on high end systems?
  • Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of US, RDR2, Metro Exodus Enhanced edition, Dying Light 2.

  • What is the state of raytracing on Linux?
  • It's been working for a long time, I've been using it since I bought my first RTX 3000 card in February 2022 until my recent switch to full-AMD.

  • If people use it and they don't post or comment, it could go dark
  • I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

  • Thanks, I'll check this. I'm worried about s-pen functionality and the support provided (the official ROM has 4-5 years of updates) but I'll look into it.

  • But how do I pay then? I don't even take my wallet with me and I don't have a physical VISA anymore. Maybe Samsung Pay could work but it's not supported in my country.

  • I hate all mobile operating systems because none of them is able to provide me the level of control I have on my Linux desktops and laptops. But there's nothing I can do about that, so, at least, I bought the best phone on the market - S23 Ultra. It's a lovely device, I just dislike Google. Thinking of de-googling it somehow. F-Droid and Galaxy Store can work as Play Store replacement but I still need Google Pay and so on :/

    If only Ubuntu Phone wasn't canceled.

  • Since you added the hours left, the whole (not-)pooping thing sounds way more serious now. Damn, maybe if you added some countdown timer, I'd stop laughing.

    Spoiler: I won't

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • If not, I won't be able to sleep in peace anymore. I just have to know even though something is probably wrong with me xD

  • Can't get Doom Eternal running on Steam.
  • What's your GPU and which driver do you use? Other Vulkan games run fine?

  • AMD GPUs to get Ray Tracing turned on for Mesa 23.2
  • Now we just need AMD to step up their game when it comes to general RT performance, even Intel Arc RT seems to be better. I'll probably upgrade to RX 8000 in the far away future, so it's nice to see the drivers maturing.
