Linux kernel still gets patches for AMD’s GCN architecture from 2012. Mesa sometimes has game-specific fixes that would affect older architectures as well.
I wouldn’t be worried on Linux, especially not for RDNA 2, as the Steam Deck’s APU is RDNA 2 based and Valve usually provides game-specific fixes for high-profile games should they be required. Architecture-specific “Game ready” drivers never really were a thing on Linux anyway.
Epic/Tim Sweeney can only do one thing really well: crying to the public.
Fuck Epic. Don’t care if they merge all of their games into one shitty game. Fall Guys was cool before Epic bought it, same thing with Rocket League. Now I don’t care about either game.
They want to be on iOS so bad with their game and store so they can farm credit cards of children’s parents, yet they don’t care about Linux at best, or are hostile against it at worst.
X2 “Elite Extreme” probably in ideal conditions vs. the base M4 chip in a real-world device. Sure, nice single core results but Apple will likely counter with the M5 (the A19 Pro already reaches around 4,000 and the M chips can probably clock a bit higher). And the M4 Pro and Max already score as high or higher in multi-core. Real world in a 14 inch laptop.
It doesn’t “crush” the M4 series at all and we’ll see how it’ll perform in a comparable power/thermal envelope.
I don’t hate what Qualcomm is doing here, but these chips only work properly under Windows and the Windows app ecosystem still hasn’t embraced ARM all that much, and from what I’ve heard Windows’ x64 to ARM translation layer is not as good as Rosetta 2. Linux support is pretty horrible, especially at launch.
journalctl -f (-f is follow mode) or as root user (sudo journalctl -f), open kitchen planner with the terminal visible and look at the (frozen) logs.
Some points are valid, but this looks more like the author (of the image) wanted to highlight as much as possible to confirm their own bias (that it’s not well designed). Maybe I’m being ragebaited, but here we go:
Different font size and styles for main panel header
Yeah, one shows breadcrumbs and the other a title.
First icon is narrower than the rest
First one is the “start menu” button. The tasks could also have text labels on them, of course they can have a different width to an unrelated element.
Content not even remotely close to being vertically centred in its box.
It can show two lines of text (as evidenced by the third item in the same row). It would look pretty bad if every item was centered on their own.
This is absolutely pixel perfect alignment. More like this please!
It looks good, but the red line the author connected from the snowflake to the horizontal line of the “H” doesn’t necessarily back their claim that this is “absolutely pixel perfect alignment” because the horizontal line of the “H” might not be geometrically centered to the line height of the text and you could also have different characters in different languages.
Yeah, some elements like the scrollbars aren’t positioned well (in this screenshot, this is a bit outdated tbh). But there’s also the concept of a visual center as opposed to the geometric center.
Yeah, but the old display supports VRR via VESA Adaptive-Sync. Nvidia supports that as well, but not sure if their mobile GPUs don’t for built-in displays?
If it is supported, I don’t see any advantage of having Gsync vs. standard VRR.
If not that’s a shame. Pretty wasteful having to buy the same display with different firmware just to get adaptive sync working.
Hate Systemd?
No, I don’t :)
macOS is included with every Mac, not free.
Cyberpunk is on a 64 GB card that holds the entire game.
My point is that Nintendo does play a big factor in the price choice.
Well, at least for the physical edition, they have to account for the cost of the 64 GB game card they are using. Wasn’t that rumored to cost like $16 a piece?
It can be beneficial in terms of performance if done right. The native Linux build of Baldur’s Gate 3 runs considerably better than the Windows version via Proton, even though the Proton version already runs better than it runs on Windows natively.
