Intel's Rendering Toolkit Turns To More Open, Community-Welcoming Development Model
Intel's oneAPI Rendering Toolkit with the likes of OSPRay, Embree, OpenVKL, Open Image Denoise, and others has been open-source for years. But it's not been exactly an open-source development model with making it easy for independent contributors to propose code changes. But Intel has now decided to make these projects more like traditional open-source …

Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare come to PC on October 29 gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/red-…
Finally huh? They sure kept us waiting. Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar Games is now set for a PC launch on October 29.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I'm not sure I get your point?
Things suck, oh well just keep throwing your money at them?
I'm not denying it sucks, but gaming is hardly a necessity so folks should be prepared to go without their fix of Destiny 2 or Red Dead Redemption in this case until those companies start paying attention to this market. It's 2% now but it was less than 1% a couple of years ago and will grow if we force it to. And god knows, the way Microsoft is going, I think Linux can do well in the next few years.
There are plenty of other developers who support (or at least acknowledge and do not hamper) Linux gaming so give them your money instead.
@Fishd Because it's a completely different game, with a completely different situation.
Do whatever you want. People keep going on and on about it like their opinion right now matters - it doesn't. Linux / Steam Deck is a tiny market, and GTA V was in no way supported to begin with. That's my main point and the reality.
Nothing will change that until Valve convince them otherwise, or the market is bigger.

in reply to Harvey J. Miller • • •@kkavee now I'm generally not a fan of cars, but what's a good resilient alternative?
With a road network you can have multiple ways out of an area, but if the bus or train system fails and you don't have a car, you're completely screwed.
For context: I live in Thailand, we have some major incident every 10 years or so, and my relatives had to evacuate Kuwait during the Gulf war.

in reply to Mishari Muqbil • • •@mishari Maybe the key is to have a variety of transportation choices. Having more than one transportation option is crucial for creating a resilient system.
Also, if you look into a place like Ukraine, both road and rail have become the key to the war.

in reply to Mishari Muqbil • • •@mishari @kkavee If you have a rail network, you also have multiple ways out of an area.
Rail networks are managed, which means that they can run at high capacity, even in abnormal situations. A single track, if that’s what you have left after catastrophic failure, can still be used for two-way traffic.
It’s also possible to increase capacity while maintaining safety by decreasing comfort in emergencies.
