Looks like you can play StarCraft / BroodWar on Pi4 too so that's hella awesome,

I like the VESA mount -- could make a good Client / Server Linux setup just mounted on the back of a monitor anywhere in the house.

I am big on Aluminum though and not Plastic, but it is cheap so idk looks interesting.

I feel like they are a little disconnected from the market, from what I've seen the market wants a strong AMD gpu laptop device.

Speculation: They bet on all the race horses and once the winner emerges they narrow their bets. VR is emerging technology.

Very exciting to see OpenXR developments, It's going to be a exciting year for VR @ Valve & hopefully VR @ Linux too.

Hmm, another game I used to be interested in but never played.

I'm not 100% sold on EA, I'd hate to buy into their stuff only to have them screw me over again.

Maybe someday.

Edit: Or maybe there's a bigger argument to be made about how DRM-free and offline discs prevent this kind of bullshit before it can ever even happen.

Quoting: GuestMeh, still waiting for the System Shock Enhanced Edition update. Its now 5 years since they promised that.

Forgive my ignorance, but with the source code released, is there something missing?

Maybe make a bug report asking for enhanced source code to be released?

If only I didn't already own most to all of these already.

I wonder if they'll do VR. I can't wait to play this, looks amazing.

I bought a dongle, honestly I miss my X360 controllers because they were so hazel free besides a fat USB dongle adding cordage. Too bad they're hard to buy now :\

Edit:

Just connected my controller, it didn't work last update but works now on Arch.

So will it run well after that? I forgot about DOOM after they didn't do a Linux version, this sounds like a good motivation for me to buy a copy to play on Proton+Vulkan.

Quoting: slaapliedjeShit, while I don't really want to, I may have to switch to an AMD card, what's the latest/greatest at this point?

My recent GPU history is
2x GTX 970
1x RX 480
2x RX 580
2x RX 590
2x RX VEGA 64

I was thinking of getting a RX 5700 XT -- I think it depends on whether or not the juce is worth the squeeze. You can find deals. I would love a 5700 XT but I try to skip a generation between upgrades to get more value out of my card, and then hand-me down them to other local Linux users I know because I know the drivers make the Linux Experience a much MUCH better one than closed.

I really have no complaints other than the first 6 months of a new GPU release might be a bumpy ride if it's not your thing, but there is 0 chance presently that any of my Destkop Linux, Gaming Linux or Server Linux will go back to Nvidia with their closed-blob driver -- I highly recommend AMD on Linux -- the experience far exceeds AMD vs Nvidia on Windows, their open driver is just damn fucking good.

The RX 5XX is VERY stable. Vega was a little touchy at first and is Gen-1, but it's in good shape now. For me I'm gonna skip the 5700 for now -- if I was gonna get new I would definitely target 5700 XT especially if your display is 4k.
