Metro Exodus has a native version with decent performance
That was my experience a month or two ago but last week I had no problem installing Neon unstable on a test system and it was amazingly stable though far from perfect.
That said, the developers using Plasma 6 obviously compile it themselves, yes.
In addition this feature makes debugging and developing KWin much easier because you can just restart the compositor without interrupting your workflow.
Can’t wait to play DOOM on a cheese wheel
Pretty cool in principle, although the default word list on my system is awful for wordle.
Sounds awesome, at least in theory. It remains to be seen how much interest there is from Publishers.
I’m hoping he could revive some of the really old and poorly working Linux ports as well as games that barely run on modern Windows or Wine these days.
Although in practice I can’t think of any game in my library that is in need of such a refresh, they generally all work decently in Wine (and modern Windows) even if some have a broken Linux port.
Edit: Maybe this is more exciting for macOS as there are plenty of Mac games that remain 32 bit only and thus can’t run on Catalina and above (also who knows how long Apple will keep OpenGL compatibility and Rosetta around). And on mac you can’t just simply “run the game with Proton” instead.
Also as another thought, while the Linux port requirement is of course a plus for us, it might be off-putting particularly for publishers that have their own shitty stores / launchers without Linux support.
I have a feeling they’re slowly but steadily moving from deb packages to snap-only completely. Because unlike what Mark Shuttleworth said when they abandoned Unity, Canonical doesn’t let their users decide which technologies should catch on. The Linux desktop as a whole is moving to a Flatpak future for desktop apps, yet Ubuntu keeps pushing Snaps down their users throats whether they want it or not and sort of “fight” Flatpak on Ubuntu spins.
I get it, Snaps are more versatile than Flatpak, you could make everything on the system a snap (can’t ship a DE or the kernel as a Flatpak now, can you) and CLI programs as Flatpaks also suck compared to snap (and distro packages obviously), but for desktop apps Flatpaks are just the obvious choice and the Linux community has shown that.
I’m waiting for the day where you can install Flatpak as a snap on Ubuntu lmao
Sometimes I’ll randomly remember a joke or funny situation from years ago and suddenly grin or laugh about it again. Then people ask me what’s so funny and I can’t really explain.
Same. I don’t care if it “doesn’t follow the UNIX philosophy” or whatever, it gets the job done, is IMHO easy to work with and many guides assume that you have it.
Try using XWayland video bridge. It should allow any XWayland apps to use screen sharing. Unfortunately most distros either don’t ship it yet or ship broken versions but you can download nightly Flatpaks from Gitlab CI
