Once a week on the systems I use the most. Whenever I turn the computers on for all other systems.

Is there a gaming company that is run worse than Ubisoft? I feel for the devs, but the company deserves to fail with the incompetence of its leadership.

Personally, the improved picture and response time are worth the risks to me. I have had an OLED monitor for 3 years now and haven’t experienced any burn in at all.

Do people just install the EA app directly in steam instead of using something like lutris/bottles?

Worse product and worse consumer practices (changing sockets every 2 generations) made it an easy choice to go with AMD.

They will continue to thrive despite these shortcomings. They will continue to push for AI after the bubble bursts because they have so much money tied up into it.

Fuck the AI companies buying up all of the RAM. Maybe its time to get a new GPU for my wife while they are still somewhat affordable.

That’s unfortunate. I played the BF6 beta on my Windows partition and had fun, but I won’t support a developer who actively blocks my platform of choice.

If you really don’t want a immutable distro, you could use Nobara. It’s based on Fedora and lets you install/remove packages as needed. It is optimized for gaming and has a Steam Deck version available.

That being said, I think Bazzite would be a better option. It is immutable like SteamOS, but it also bundles a bunch of other options like Flatpak, Homebrew, and Distrobox.

This could screw over some smaller board partners. They might not have the deals in place to secure the RAM chips they need.

So release GTA6 on PC at the same time as console? The ability to play the game a year or so earlier is part of the reason people still have a console.

100C is boiling. Would still kill humans because of overheating, possibly burns as well.

I think it will more likely happen if windows kicks games out of kernel space.

Fortunately those are a minority of games. Most games now are working with Wine/Proton out of the box. Multiplayer games are the only thing I ever look at compatibility lists for.

Some games get patched to break compatibility, usually with anti-cheat. Apex Legends and Battlefield 1 are examples of that.

AAA has gotten too risk adverse. They can’t have a flop, they only want big hits. Its why they keep pushing micro transactions as it let’s a single title bring in more and more money. Its also the reason a lot of AA studios are starting to get the biggest hits. They are willing to take a risk to create something truely amazing.

The Battlefield community doesn’t want that kind of movement in their game. If people want to play a shooter with that kind of movement, they can just stick with CoD.

If our goal is to transition more users to Linux, good Nvidia support is a must. Nvidia is the biggest player in the market and that means plenty of users switching will have an nvidia GPU.

I doubt Windows is the reason these are more expensive. Microsoft wants Windows in the handheld PC space, so they are likely to provide licenses for free and likely help subsidize the costs a bit, especially if they include trials for gamepass.

That would reduce the value of buying an RDNA4 GPU, so I don’t see that happening.
