Intel Gets Hogwarts Legacy Running On Linux Driver By Pretending Not To Be Intel Graphics
  • I wanted to reply something like that it's not mind blowing at all for anyone capable of having multiple opinions but then I saw your profile picture and I'm done. Mind if I download it and share in our group so others can see and laugh a bit? Sorry, already did.

  • AFAIK the game does the opposite (it supports trans... people... damn that was hard to write...) which is the reason I never bought it, so unless I'm wrong you would not support Rowling by buying it because it's trying to do the opposite. There's even a trans character in a pub.

  • I myself boycotted Hogwarts Legacy because they forced a trans character there on purpose although nothing like that ever was in HP books.

    Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
  • Nice but I'm surprised it took this long when Apple is doing its best to make OSX the worst possible platform for gaming.

    Is AMD really that much better?
  • I was thinking the same, FGLRX was a nightmare, it was so bad I would even call it a work of art because it's probably impossible to create a driver that would be worse that that crap. I escaped to Nvidia back in 2012 with pure hate against AMD, but now, 11 years later, I have returned and I'm happy that the Radeon situation is now so amazingly good. Thinking about that, I think I started losing hair around the time when FGLRX was a thing and it might not be a coincidence.

    Is AMD really that much better?
  • If you don't care about ray tracing, AMD is just better. The Wayland experience is completely issue-free and the extra VRAM really helps with Proton because DXVK/VKD3D usually consumes more memory. I had Nvidia for 10 years, then I carefully tried AMD and I'm not going back, thinking of buying 7800/7900 XT now. I was worried about OBS and encoding because I do let's plays and it's not so good but I found out that if I encode the video via Ryzen integrated GPU and play the game on the dedicated GPU, I can achieve excellent quality with great performance. VAAPI gets overloaded easily if a single GPU is doing both gaming and encoding but my Ryzen 7600 iGPU does a great job, I think I even achieved better quality/performance with AMD than what I had before with NVENC.

    What operating system do you use on your main computer?
  • Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.

  • Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.

    I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
  • You're putting so much effort to avoid pooping... but you should put the same effort into making sure that once this whole thing is over, there's a toilet you can sit on for a few hours without being interrupted. If I was you, I'd choose one in advance and call there for a reservation.
