I have Radeon 6900 rx and it games sweet on Linux. I’ve played games on Windows with it too without issue (dual boot).

Generally, AMD is king on Linux, Nvidia is suffering (had drivers updates break OS installs). Nvidia is only really if you want ray tracing or Cuda, and I’ve never needed to.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is my distro of choice. Up to date kernel. Rolling distro. Stable.

You’re in the UK? Lol

Beware. The Stalker is somewhat more dangerous and camoflages!

Have fun :)

They could maybe hire some testers. If you’re removing beach properties, maybe test games that have beach properties. I have no idea how this falls through the gaps.

Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?

Depends really. I say it this way, but talked to a Spanish speaker who said it was Lee-bree.

It’s a double edged sword. The channels are bridged across to Matrix, and the poll ran in multiple places, but 90%+ of the player community are on Discord.

Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn’t want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it’s own direction. It needed to go.

Business discover consumers have limited disposable income and sometimes markets grow to saturation. Businesses failing to understand that different market strategies can be applied to the different stages of growth.

You’d think these industry leaders would understand about business…

Seems it’s been overtaken by grifters promising the world and investors being absolute naive mugs.

No chance. Games will only grow. With so many good free engines, I cannot see people stopping making games.

I think with hardware, people bought PCs during the pandemic, and after (when GPU’s became available), and after that, they had done their hardware refresh. Some of the bump from the year 2022 was likely because of people finally being able to get hold of their hardware. Because of the backlog catch up, 2023 would inevitably be a drop. Now they have a PC, the only question is whether you need a better monitor to support the hardware, and that would explain the growth of it now.

The only thing happening in the games industry is layoffs due to high interest rates. If interest rates are 2% and you make a 5% ROI, you make a profit. If interest rates are 8%, you’re making a loss, so investment in games or any software ain’t great at times of high interest. It’ll likely bounce back as interest rates drop. I just hope more jobs are built within the indie sector rather than AAA.

Something up to date with a newer kernel. Wine devs say that’s best to get updates and benefits quicker given how things are changing quickly.

Given that, I’d say Open Suse, Arch or Fedora. I use Open Suse and am very happy with it. Meets my indie gaming needs.

I have no idea. It’s quite subjective.

You can install packages and remove them and it resolves dependencies, just using different commands…

I think WINE recommend an up to date distro due to rapidly changing stuff needing up to date software and kernel. I think Debian wouldn’t be great for that. I’d personally recommend OpenSuse. Rolling, up to date and great with KDE. Good luck.

I would second up to date distros for the same reasons. I think the WINE guys suggested as much. I’d personally go OpenSuse as it’s rolling, up to date, solid and great for KDE.
