If an exploit is only on two architectures by default without much funding and you spend a large amount of effort targeting a more resilient architecture at some point it becomes more of a tech demo. Reverse engineering anything takes A LOT of resources more than your average hacker. So yeah...
They have videos of it running on Steam Deck. Once I saw that I was pretty sure it was going to work. You also have a pretty non-standard distro so your mileage will vary.
This is what happens if I alt+tab.

Here's Battlenet. All of this is out of the box behavior I haven't changed or tweaked anything. Just install and go like Windows. I mean for Proton I just made sure it wasn't set to experimental for BattleNet. That was the extent...
People won't accept that most of the prefetch tricks have already been tried already. We are long past the Pentium / Athlon days. Most of the easy stuff has been done. Heterogeneous computing will likely be the next phase where we once again move to specialized units within APUs just stacked...
Of course it doesn't. But it also doesn't change the fact that Wayland and KDE is buggy meanwhile in Gnome it's not, which is part of the reason why your experience and mine are so different.
Most people are going to use the WM that's the default of the DE.
It's not on Steam. You can use Steam and it's libraries to install software. So you download regular Battle.net. You then pick Add a Game in the lower left corner of Steam. Then you right click on the application. Go to compatibility then force use of Proton (its a fork of Wine).
KDE's Wayland support has lagged Gnome by quite a bit for quite some time. It's been garbage but that's not Wayland that's KDE and Plasma. It was slower than Gnome for eons until just recently. So of course you had issues you've got the holy trinity of having a bad time right there. KDE's broken...
This is why Linux adoption suffers. Some people will tell others that whatever DE they are running is super stable and easy to use when it's not. So then they end up in forums talking about command line crap when they wouldn't otherwise. You get to see this here in real time.
Wayland on AMD is damn dream. I moved my nvidia card to the HTPC/Family Gaming Room and took the AMD card and put it on my office computer since I primarily run Linux there. Ever since the switch it's been a dream. Update after update, program after program no issues. Even GPU sharing with KVMs...
Oh God MIR :facepalm:.
They were warned before they even tried it that creating a display server was no easy task and trying to get programmers together that were good at barebones programming was not going to be easy. Even if you had them you had to have an adoption rate that would make all of...
KDE is doing better job now. But there's something about Gnome's simplistic but polished mantra that I find wonderful in Fedora. I get bleeding edge Gnome 3 updates but real stability that I find lacking in Ubuntu. Ubuntu focuses less on the DE and more on services that compliment the...
Recent high-end Intel CPUs are crashing Unreal Engine games
When CPUs get too hot and power-hungry

In a nutshell: Are you using one of Intel's top-end 13th-gen or 14-gen processors and have noticed your games are crashing a lot? It's a problem that...
AMD actually was able to put out a driver on Linux that worked with the Fusion processors and Sea Island GCN cards (Bonaire,Curacao, etc) . However, when Lisa Su came she focused work on putting together Zen and eventually ROCm.

Same. I like this statement:
"Andrzej Janik reached out and provided access to the new ZLUDA implementation for AMD ROCm to allow me to test it out and benchmark it in advance of today's planned public announcement. I've been testing it out for a few days and it's been a positive experience...
Apple is the United States do no wrong company. It has never gone after Apple for being anti-competitive even though it's easily the worst of the bunch... by a long shot.
Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games

"But it remains strange why enough people would want to subscribe—and at $17.99 a month it’s not cheap—to a single publisher’s output. That’s not a diss of Ubisoft’s games—although you might want to apply your own—but...

Morrowind was actually horrible. It could completely brick your XBOX. That game shipped with more bugs than any game I've ever played. But the reviews never mentioned the state it shipped in. Bethesda is very good at controlling media and that's why everyone thinks their games are good when in...
AMD Publishes FSR 3 Source Code
Written by Michael Larabel
Back in September AMD released FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR3) and at the time they noted the open-source code would be made available "soon". As a nice Christmas present, the FSR3 source code is public as of today.
AMD today made...
I think for the most part this is done to satiate OEMs to fill holes in the line up that appear when a new competitor releases a new product. It's not like they can switch all to AMD or all to Intel so they pit them against each other for pricing / marketing reasons. I'm really not going to care...
It's not easy because it's like balancing tea cups especially with patents in tow. Anyone can make a modem but when you try to make the most performant device while making it efficient the compatibility and testing is truly immense because it has to work with everything.
