Lol if you're gonna game just use Windows.

Fuck how did you know Johan Hesselbom?

Just instinct, Kevin Parnell.

Stop reviving this piece of shit general. Threads have died for this...

Fuck off Pulsed.

What's up, tp?

Nvidia for Wayland when?

AyyMD is superior

No Wayland support for AMD either though.

Yeah but novideo is shit and AMD is better

Both are shit to be honest.

jewtel is worse though

>not using the bae of chips

>Valve's steam OS
Just suggest something like mint or some bs like that instead of that cancer

It's cool for gaming on the couch.

They dont have big picture mode in their normal releases for linux?

It's true, they do, but SteamOS is better suited for the couch. If you were to run something like Mint + Big Picture for the living room, you'd need a spare keyboard and mouse laying around.

Of course using SteamOS on the desktop is just plain stupid.

Still no Gog Galaxy for Linux yet?

Threads with over 11,000+ votes, yet still no client. Absurd if you ask me.

still waiting :(

this desu

Real question should be: wayland not the most cancerous, broken piece of shit since the invention of computers when?

Wayland works wonders today. Try out the Fedora 27 Beta! The implementation of Wayland + GNOME is really well done.

It's about time we replace X11, and Wayland is getting really close. We just need drivers really.

I'm loving this recent surge in flatpak torrents on tpb. Pirate or not, I see it as a big step for gaming on Linux.

btw here's Cuphead.

Is it possible for udev's dualshock 4 calibration to fail? I don't have this weird problem when launching games with steam but sometimes game I bought from gog wrongly assumes I'm pushing down the joystick when I'm not.

Anyone know how to overide whatever was detected?

My Xbox One S controller does something similar when it's connected via Bluetooth. I have no idea what's causing it though...

Nope. Fuck Windows and fuck you too. Go be a shill somewhere else.

lol shill fuck off.

It's extremely sad that flatpaks are needed in the first place. Something's obviously inherently wrong that needs to be fixed before we can rejoice in such hacks. Hell, I see solutions like dockers as being a shitload cleaner (docker's implementation is dogshit, however, and beyond that it's possible to use unionfs and the likes to maintain a core "system" set vs everything else efficiently through automatic dependency tracking in a tree structure, most depth should be very small and compaction in the form of copying could be automatic)

Insert "works on my machine" meme here. No but sorry dude. I haven't experienced any problems like that myself. You're missing out lad.

Yeah maybe flatpaks aren't the best thing about the whole situation, but I'm still happy something is actually happening. It's a step in the right direction.
