On Fedora 37 the pipewire development library (libjack.so) is in /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack which is correctly detected by cmake but the final linking fails because the library path is not provided to the compiler. I appended -L/usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack to the end of the giant link command in CMakeFiles/tfe.dir/link.txt inside the build directory to correct this.

This driver didn't work well for me in Fedora 37 with the new 6.1.7 kernel. My second monitor wasn't detected, though the screen was mirrored. The settings app was also missing most content which seems the opposite of their bug fix about non-privileged users running X.

A PR for Linux is in the works. I built from the branch, https://github.com/mlauss/TheForceEngine/tree/linux3, and played through the first level.
On Fedora 37 the build missing dependencies I had were: rtaudio-devel, rtmidi-devel, DevIL-devel
and glew-devel

I've always wondered where these blinged out rigs sit. My case is on the floor to my left so the only LED I can see is the front fan, and barely that. Do you have it sitting on your desk to your right to enjoy all the blinkin` lights to their fullest? I can never hear my case fans, I wonder how it is next to your head.

I hear it's going to be really boring. I'd recommend that nobody watch. I'll watch and let you know how it goes.

RHEL doesn't exactly target consumers. Fedora switched to btrfs as the default in F33.
I'll probably reformat the drive to ext4 when I get a chance.
nit: Red Hat

Quoting: slaapliedjeQuoting: rcritAnd I'm reminded that some Source games will not run on xfs filesystems :-(Huh, wonder how many people are using xfs on their home directories? I know Redhat switched to it, but not sure how many use that as their desktop OS (I would, but I like shiny new things).
