@yac DXVK is huge, the performance are very similar. Of course, there are also the performance of the GPU driver, but that not related to native VS wine

And this is going to profit everyone even not gamers / not steam users, as they are upstreaming most of their work to Wine.

See from the official announcement:

I know a lot of gamers who have a dual boot only for gaming and are going to remove it to keep only Linux thanks to that improvement. This is big. This is very big. Added to the fact that AMD drivers are now open source and always performing better, this is definitely the year of linux on desktop for gaming.

Only downside I see: most companies will not bother port their games to Linux anymore. But few were doing it anyway.

Massive upgrade to Linux Steam client: Windows games can now be played with Linux

This is THE huge news of Linux for 2018. Valve announced that they are now embedding Proton, their improved wine, inside the Linux native steam client, allowing it to launch every windows game of the steam marketplace with similar performance.

@life when was that recorded? (sorry didn't watch yet)

@aeris tu as une batterie à ta boite aux lettres... ? oO

@norwin new question is, how do I handle duplicate addresses, and maintain up to date the data.

@norwin I saw #pelias yeah, and #photon too. In France, we have #addOk which is pretty awesome too. But problems: OSM data for addresses is incomplete. The BAN and BANO contain the complete France addresses. AddOk is the search engine built for that data set so it works well with it, but that's limited to France. It can import OSM data, but that requires cleaning it, and solutions to do that need Postgres (but my stack doesn't need it). Pelias can import openaddresses which contain the BAN.

@LWFlouisa @cwebber you can ignore problematic users. They won't be able to comment on your posts anymore

@raucao it's not much about the license of the software, more about if it can be hosted by us or not. We would be fine with a proprietary software that we can install ourselves (even if free software is better of course), as this would make our cost fix (so no surprises).
