Hell yeah, improved Mafia Classic gaming

Like a SteamDeck vent exhaust?

Fucking magnets. How do they work?

Gaming laptops are clunky, ugly, not practical (yeah, technically portable, but not very convenient), loud, hot, drink a lot of juice and always need to be connected to a giant power brick. The worst kind of computer

Ugh, no offence to someone who worked on it but sddm is such a failure of display manager. It was only introduced around 10 years ago replacing kdm. It was meant to be simple (duh, thus the name). It has all sorts of issues and is constantly being fixed, just for something super basic like login screen

The HDMI/DP was my wild guess. For now the problem should also go away if you just change in-game resolution for whatever is your screen. Maybe the problem isn’t being addressed because it was reported to Mesa user-space driver, but maybe the problem is in kernel module. It’s also not 100% always reproducible.

Actually it looks surprisingly tidy. Would autohide it (when windows touch it) though

I know this issue. It’s reproducible when

• Using AMD on Wayland
• Only on certain screens or only on HDMI (I never reproduced that when using DP)
• The game is running in non-native resolution, meaning the compositor is doing upscaling
• The game window is full screen and focused - the black blocks go away if you show some desktop menu or focus other window on top - so basically looks like only happens when the direct scanout protocol is doing its thing
• not only in Steam games, in most games in general

The problem has long been reported in Mesa project, but nothing was done to help. My bet is that the bug sits in amdgpu kernel driver and not user space.

EDIT: maybe it’s worth to report in kernel bugzilla or wherever amdgpu kernel driver bugs would go. I don’t reproduce this on my end anymore, because I changed my screen and it uses DP

EDIT2: I could only reproduce it on RDNA2 and yours is RDNA3. I had Polaris (RX 570) for quite some time and it was running on Wayland. Maybe it only happens on newer cards, maybe it’s regression added along the way

Probably not yet

The problem will only get solved if there will be reliable methods for detecting cheats that don’t require direct ingeration in a client operating system directly.

Linux is ‘a terrifically hard audience to serve’

said owner of a company that last tried to oficially support Linux in late '90s.

Windows 98, Windows XP, Ubuntu 6.06, some other distros on and off, Arch Linux is the last OS I would ever need for desktop PC btw

I like how you accidentally (edit: or maybe not) donated Wine devs by buying CrossOver license :D

One would have to live under rock to not expect anything bad happening when living life this way openly in Russia. Not that it’s justified what authorities do, it isn’t

Uuuh, Belarus? XDDD

There were some recent fixes to Steam VR but I have never tried a VR headset myself. It should work on Wayland with a compositor that supports DRM-leasing protocol, so basically everything but GNOME.

Interesting with that overly formal tone. Might be due to how school english focuses on correct grammar and vocab, but not necessarily how people actually speak casually. At least that’s how I remember English in high school.

Breeze

Nice

Overrated

Are there any bug reports for those problems?
