Best hospital management sim ever!

(Due to some alcohol involved and me being very, very skillful one night, I was forced to stay around 3 days on ICU When returned back home, I desperately wanted to play a good hospital sim... I tried TwoPoint but that was... well... "inadequate". Then I tried this one and it is AWESOME )

Quoting: tuxintuxedo

Quoting: Boldos

Quoting: denyasisI was always under the impression that most/many of the Chromebooks were lower powered ARM chipsets? I'm assuming this is for x86 systems only?

I also assumed that this is for >ARM< based systems...
So, no Steam for ARM yet?

That would change nothing. Wine (Proton) still doesn't work on ARM.

Well, sorry, but that was not the point (and I did not clarify it enough).
Of course I do not expect to play Cyberpunk or Witcher on RaspberryPi anytime soon...

What I meant was the fact that Steam for ARM would bring "some more" games to Linux+ARM platform combo; it would serve as a stable distribution platform, e.g. for native Linux-built games (and there are tons of those, which would run on e.g. ARM-based Raspberries or Chromebooks pretty nicely).

And that - in itself - would mean a lot!

Would be curious to see the numbers of how many will actually use it...

Quoting: noctHas anyone had luck with FSR on Linux? I tried it on the weekend, but when I enable FSR it loads for a while and resets my setting. I'm running Pop OS and have a RTX 3070 if that makes a difference, but from what I read FSR should also work on nvidia cards.

I tried quickly, but turning it on seems to distort graphics for a moment and then resetting settings to original state (on Radeon 5600XT).

Quoting: sudoerFlatpak is the future for stale distros still living in the '90s. For rolling distros (which IS the future) it's useless and stupid.

Switch to a rolling distro and you will never have dependency hell issues again, nor bloat your system with disputable package formats. Having a big amount of different flatpaks can also lead (internaly) to dependency hell.

With all due respect, I *heavily* disagree with these statements.

Yes, rolling release distros are great for lots of reasons, but not for heavy "production corporate" use.
Rolling release is the very definition of all the possible and impossible risks when used in corporate production environments, either as a server infrastructure (you really do not want an ever-changing rolling release distro as a prod server) or as a corporate desktop (people will definitely not thank you for constantly changing program UIs, feature sets and/or format compatibility capabilities).

If you are still unsure about the above, just check with you Windows 10-cursed colleagues, because twice a year, their "rolling-relese" OS force-changes lots of bigger and smaller things for them, and I tell you - people are NOT excited about it!

So yes, rolling release is certainly great for lots of use cases, but for strictly professional/corporate scenarios only TLS will do...

Well, maybe Flatpack might get useful at least a bit (in the corporate environment) afterall, hmm..
(This is why I prefer Snaps, btw...)

Quoting: GuestI don't think it will change much of anything regarding API usage. It's not like Vulkan was being utilised in games coming out of Activision-Blizzard anyway.

You are correct - Activision-Blizzard were not using Vulkan.
But Bethesda *did* used it, on DOOM franchise.

So not only a Vulkan-enabled franchise was lost to DX, but Microsoft also ensured that all those other franchises will never get any other port than Windows, and will never get Vulkan in the future, ever.

(And on top of all that, think about e.g. streaming platforms: (currently) all technologically built around Linux+Vulcan. Those ports are never happening too for all these franchises...; all those platforms and their Linux-based technologies are forbidden territory now, and for the future)
