Good to see that Radeon 7 is competitive with GTX 2080. Let's hope Navi cards will be competitive with 2070 and will be more affordable than Radeon 7...

I'm waiting for hardware accelerated video encoding / decoding support now.

[shmerl]

Those are second generation to be clear (Zen+). Zen 2 (which is third generation) is coming out this summer for desktop (7nm chips) and if AMD will follow...

Rather I think E495 will be interesting. It's more reasonably priced and also Ryzen based:

1. Lenovo should stop being jerks, and should start offering refunds for Windows tax (it's almost impossible now, unless you claim your refund through...

Glad to hear it helped! I you didn't look at it recently, I updated it a while ago to use Meson:

Here is one I use:

It's just for building though, deploying takes some...

My use case is easier - I'm not using Steam, and simply install DRM-free games like from GOG each in its own prefix. Lately I'm not using Lutris or POL,...

[shmerl]

I'm using regular Wine, and dxvk is installed in prefixes using symlinks. So updating dxvk is quite easy - just rebuild it, and replace it in main location...

Again, don't waste time please....

[shmerl]

Then stop wasting others' time here, defending Nvidia's foul behavior. Back on topic - compositor developers should not clean up Nvidia's mess. And if...

[shmerl]

Not interested in demagoguery and defense of Nvidia's mess with claims of Linux support. Claims don't make them support Linux properly. Come back to this...

[shmerl]

That's nonsense, they are ignoring Linux because they don't follow kernel development requirements. It only creates problems. All you are saying is "they...

[shmerl]

Not upstreaming their driver means they are ignoring Linux development methodology, and it's causing all the mess in result. And seriously, no one should...

[shmerl]

Not having their code in upstream kernel which results in not properly supporting DRM/KMS (which results in a long list of problems starting with lack...

[shmerl]

In server Linux yes, but I doubt they care much about Linux graphics stack. Oracle is also invested in Linux for example. And we know their general attitude....

Good to see that IBM acquiring RedHat didn't hamper their Mesa / DRI efforts.

[shmerl]

You can, because Nvidia ignores Linux. It's not the job of compositor developers to clean up the mess that Nvidia created. I have no respect for Nvidia...

[shmerl]

It's actually something that can be ignored, since users have the option of getting Wayland compatible hardware (and Nvidia can be treated as defective...

[shmerl]

Itches:

1. Wayland is not limited to Gnome. There should be more coordinated cooperation between compositor developers (kwin, wlroots, mutter...
