Gotta' say the DXVK and D9VK devs are doing a really great job there. Sponsored by Valve by now, true, but what they got rolling here ... it's the best linux gaming has experienced in a long time.

We all were on wine, dealing with particular issues. DXVK / D9VK just seem to work. And that with beautiful performance. We can't thank the two of them enough for starting it and staying committed. In the end, Valve as well for sponsoring that work.

Actually, after having tried Gnome / Budgie again, still having issues with uinput while xfce and KDE ain't .. I'm back on KDE.

I don't know what takes them more than two years to fix that particular issue, but for me .. I'm done with Gnome.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: NanobangI put dozens of hours into the first alpha release on itch.io. I loved chopping down trees in this game because the gigantic logs could roll and kill you if you weren't careful. (I often used them to kill game and enemies alike.) I'm really looking forward to their final release, to be sure.

Now, what is that big curved thing in the sky? That was decidedly not a thing I saw in the alpha. Any guesses anyone?

The world tree? A way into or out of valhalla perhaps? Who knows :D

If it's the "arc" as in this video it may be Yggdrasil:

Just when I'm about done with KCD... I'm all in for Vikings and Viking Mythology. That's a must play for me! Didn't even know it was in development...

That will be quite a list for me :D.

Hmh, that's unsuspected good reviews. Still playing another game, but will pick it up later. Looks funny enough.

Quoting: CatKillerAn experimental branch that tests things out before they get polished and moved upstream would be great. This, though, sounds like someone just got grumpy that their "revolutionary" Wayland ideas weren't immediately accepted by Kwin. I hope it turns into the former even though it's starting out as the latter.

I doubt that. Roman for sure wasn't happy with the development process of KWin, wanting a faster pace of development with less stakeholders (and there are quite a few in KWin), and without a fork it probably hardly would be used and tested.

It's a fork to get a different development model, which can disrupt things and make things not work. KWin with the focus on reliability hardly can do that. Though, that certain improvements once stable enough can find their way back to KWin. Wonder how complicated that'll be...

I am not for full forks. We'll see if this projects won't join together again once KWinFT has reasonable stability, or maybe it will replace KWin and the teams join together.

I understand the need to move faster at the risk of breaking, and that KDE is reluctant to do that. For the future it would be great if those improvements find their way to KWin / get upstreamed. Much like Proton and Wine or DXVK/D9VK.

Great, I struggle with most of their games and don't seem to come behind certain mechanics. Maybe that will help me to understand so I get better at the other games too :D.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Wine/DXVK). Probably the best RPG I played in a long time, very unexpected. Though, can be rough around the edges... but I am having the best time in a game in a long time.

Last Game I enjoyed that much was probably DA:O.
