At some point Linux might be the best way to play older no longer supported games. Getting Max Payne working on Win10 sucks, works perfectly in Wine.

Originally posted by duby229 View PostThat's not quite completely true. The wine devs are picking through those patches. I think the proton devs should tell wine exactly where to shove it, and if the wine devs want those improvements then they should fork proton to get them. Proton should be made upstream to wine and not the other way around because wine has already proven for the last 20 years they don't care at all about compatibility. Of course this whole stance hinges on whether or not the proton devs will admit that it is an emulator and strive achieve compatibility or not. If compatibility is their goal then they cannot be a downstream of wine because wine will break it every single release. It -must- be upstream in order to prevent wine from breaking it.
Explain to me how the fuck does Wine being a compatibility layer (with a bit of emulation here and there) mean that they don't care about compatibility.
Do you even English?

Dang. I was excited; one of my boys bought me DOOM 2016 but I hadn't played much of it because I hardly ever boot into Windows. After a couple hours of downloading, I fired it up... and got sound, but a black screen. I could hear the menu shifting around but that's it.
Xubuntu 18.04.1, GTX 970 with Nvidia driver 396.51 (396.54 packages haven't been released yet, soon), i7-2600K. Two monitors, but the game seemed to start up fine on the primary monitor, it just didn't display any graphics. I has a sad.

You may magically have display with that.

I've actually considered building and selling them, btw. Just don't see any possibility of offering anything anywhere near a realistic price-point even just for a niece market.

Consider the price of the Playstation 4 Pro. It's damn cheap. Well, relatively speaking. You can have one for the price of a Nvidia 1060 GPU. How do you sell something which includes a GPU in that performance range and a case and a motherboard and a CPU and a PSU and RAM? A Steam OS console would be very niece, at best.
