Can't stop myself thinking we're closer to get Death Stranding working on Proton when it's out.
Though playing offline would defeat the actual point and message of the game...

Also I'm fucking mad they want to bring that shit over Linux, but I'm even madder:
1) Devs don't take the time making native Linux versions because of industry momentum, ultimately games would run better/faster and users would jump straight on switching to Linux to get a few more FPS and pay 100-200 quids less off of their computer for windows;
2) Devs can't code decent multiplayer with safe autorithative checks server side because they ducttape multiplayer on top of a singleplayer game engine, as industry standards expect your game to be multiplayer but no-one plays those.

Don't get me wrong these are not easy things to get done, but they are not even trying.
Hopefully we had exceptional initiaves from the community to get Wine and DXVK.
(Not to mention the efforts the Khronos group is putting struggling to bring standards against industry monopolies).
But come on.. Do we have to wait another decade to enjoy the same games than people playing windows or consoles ?

I'd be curious to actually know how accurate are the depicted electronics. :)

I fled gnome shell from Debian but it's coming after me, help!

On a serious note though would anyone teach me what is the advantage of snap and flatpack ? I always thought packaging libraries versions would open the way for flaws and exploits, is it neatly contained from the system ?

Quoting: Creak

Quoting: aokamiI'm going to upgrade my FX-8350 for a Ryzen 7 Gen 2 as well, haha.
Would you go with a X570 motherboard ?

Well, I finally bought my new CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X (only 50$ more expensive than the 3700X).
So I went with the X570 eventually, and honestly, for now, I can't complain.
To support it, I took the Asus X570 TUF-Plus motherboard and some 16 GB of Corsair RAM @ 3600MHz.

Be careful: and I think this is true to any motherboard supporting DDR4, the base RAM clock is 2133MHz. DO NOT increase the memory frequency from the BIOS "Advanced" menu (I did that, got a permanent black screen and thought I bricked my machine), instead, use the "Ai Tweaker" menu and change the memory frequency there. I don't remember exactly but it was very simple in the end, one thing to change, like "Best frequency" or something, and it worked out-of-the-box.

Hey, on my end I a 2700X with a B450 and 16 GB of ram, it was enough for my use case and it was cheap AF. :D

Quoting: mao_dze_dunHeh, I just ordered myself an MSI B450 Tomahawk, 32 gigs of RAM and a 2700x. I know what you're thinking but I'm on a budget (which I already stretched quite a bit to get 32 instead of 16 GB of RAM), and I managed to find the 2700x for 160 euro, while the the 3700x is 315. Plus, my plan is to hopefully buy a cheap 3950x in a couple of years, which according to benchmarks works surprisingly well with the Tomahawk Max. My reasoning was that RAM is expected to get expensive by the end of the year, but the CPU prices are going down, so it's better to put more into the RAM now than into a CPU I plan on potentially replacing with a 3950x anyway.

Hey I'm doing exactly the same right now but with:
- Ryzen 7 2700x
- MSI B450 gaming plus max
- 2x8GB HyperX Fury DDR4-3200 CL-15

I'm not doing my dream setup yet as I'm moving a lot lately but my point is:
Amazon says the £150 2700X is 50% off, so should cost around £300, it still is priced around 160€ on French retailers stores without any sale.
Is Amazon lying ?

Quoting: CreakI was sure I was going to switch my old AMD FX-8320 for a Ryzen Zen 2 somewhere this year, but I wasn't completely convinced with the AMD RX 5700, though thought it might be a good replacement for my RX 480... I think I'll do my CPU upgrade and wait a little to see the RDNA 2 GPU selection!

I saw your gitlab issue Liam, thanks for that, I'd love having that on manjaro as well.

Is anyone able to join game chats rooms from community hub on the client ?
Whenever I click the link ("x in chat, y in game") on the community hub, nothing happens. (Manjaro with KDE plasma, even thought I think it's unrelated)

I had to login on steam on the browser and join game groups chats there, which would then automatically show up in the steam friends interface in the client.

(I've had that probably ever since the steam friends rework)
