I still hope for some better graphics. Never winter still felt a bit outdated when I first looked at the new release.

Hopefully we will see more work on the dx front and the top aaa titles in the future.
DXVK has become a necessity unfortunately

Quoting: Avehicle7887I hope the Staging release will bring back esync/fsync support, it has been disabled for some time now and I've stuck to Wine 5.8 since some games perform better.
According to https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-July/169359.html


NOTE: Currently the esync patchset has been disabled until it can be
rebased.

Quoting: tmtvlNeat. Too bad it's Ubuntu, we don't need Canonical to grow too big for their shoes.

I still think it is a good distro for people.
Maybe not the most recent stuff in there, but that is not needed if it is a solid experience.
They reverted bad ideas like amazon lense so why should we still bad mouth them?

My Computer dual boots into Kubuntu 20.04 and i like it. There is a problem with the old nvidia card, but i can safely blame nvidia for that and go to my amd.
The problem is hardware not the distro.

Quoting: mylkamaybe because there arent many games like it
desperados, robin hood, commandos... i think thats pretty much it

I would add Chicago 1930 & partisans 1941 to the list. Shadow Tactics already is there

Pharaoh-like isometric city builder Nebuchadnezzar confirmed for GOG and Steam

There is actually quite a lot of Egypt based games coming up.

Egyt : old Kingdown and Egypt: Predynastic,
although you don't see much of your Kingdom. It is more turn based decisions on a regional map.
Not enough micro management and looking at your city like the pharao/zeus/caesar games.
A true pharao successor needs more. The Julius engine is ok, but it won't touch HD textures any time soon.
SO i am looking forward to this game and builders of egypt , which is another town builder game set in that time epoch :)

What are you clicking on this weekend? Come tell us

Clearly the Desperados 3 Demo , only 10 days left until the release.
Looking forward to the improving wine releases to deal with the Windows MediaFramework requirements of many modern games.
