I didn’t try it yet but yes, FEX is open source: https://fex-emu.com/

Yes, only a real issue if you want to watch or encode videos.

Also, no video encoder/decoder which was what killed it for me.

The times we live in…

Got my mail:

You’re officially in the reservation queue for Steam Machine 512GB with Controller

When your Steam Machine 512GB with Controller becomes available, we will send you a separate email with the option to purchase. You’ll then have 3 days to complete the purchase before we cancel your reservation and move on to the next person in the queue.

This is the only email you will receive about the results of the randomization. If you ended up with a reservation queue spot for more than one model, you were allocated a reservation for the highest end model, and were removed from all the others.

The Index did not have OLED screens, they used regular LCDs.

According to their now deleted Reddit account, it will use a custom Proton build on Intel and Zen 4 CPUs. For every other CPU you will need a kernel module.

Ask again in a different support ticket.

Friend of mine just got told that it’s going to arrive soon and then asked again after he saw everyone got a free game and now he also got the offer.

As a side note, Qwen3.6-27B is much more capable than Qwen3.6-35B, even though it is much slower.

For coding tasks where you don’t mind waiting, you should be able to barely squeeze in the 8-bit quantized version with 32 GB RAM + 8 GB VRAM and have a pretty competent local model. 4-bit quants work but they have issues with complex tool calls.

If you use the MTP branch of llama.cpp (and a suitable model) you can even double or triple your token generation speed: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/22673

CoreELEC can do it on Dolby Vision certified devices if you’re looking for a open source solution.

Is it a Surface laptop?

Haven’t had any Vertex explosions or shader compiling issues in Wilds but I also assume that’s Nvidia related.

Do you have those issues in their other titles like their newer Resident Evil games as well?

I had the same issue with PINCE not restoring the correct memory addresses on start.

Although I think I’m doing something wrong and the memory in modern games is just dynamic so the correct location can’t be found with just the memory addresses. Haven’t looked if it is possible yet but I assume you need some pattern matching to find the right address, not sure if PINCE can do that yet.

Yes, that’s still a bit annoying unfortunately.

Editing the fstab to properly mount a network share also currently has no UI available in KDE and has to be done manually.

What’s the problem?

Played Wilds on launch and had pretty much no issues other than the game freezing for a second or two every hour or so.

On the other hand, my friend on Windows would crash from time to time, which I didn’t experience.

Although it should be noted that neither Wilds nor Dragon’s Dogma are technological marvels. They run bad everywhere.

Cheat Engine is a thing on Linux!

Game Conqueror is bundled for a lot of distros but PINCE is my favorite.

but to discover it on my other linux machine is always a chore that involves editing a few config files and just kinda randomly poking around until it works.

What’s your desktop environment? On KDE you can just enter smb://serverhost/path in the Dolphin navigation bar and it will open it.

The first one I think is a fundamental limitation in that display preferences by default is per-user. Maybe this makes it work for you? https://feddit.online/post/1350756/comment/6636228

I don’t really have this problem anymore since I got rid of my projector which advertised a resolution it couldn’t handle. Had to login into the void since the login screen never showed up. Looks like this might be fixable nowadays.

The 24h clock might be similar - check your system-wide locale.

The locale is set to American English but the time format is set to German, something the lock screen can handle but SDDM cannot. I also tried applying the Plasma settings to SDDM a few times but it doesn’t really change anything.

It always chooses the default highest resolution, (which may not work on some devices with faulty EDID), does not respect the Wayland/X11 choice, has a long pause when going from login screen to desktop and does not support 24h clocks.

Just to name a few.

Phones usually don’t do pixel shifting since they lack the extra pixels on the edge to shift the content around.
