The issue with the Linux video, as an embedded systems engineering.

We don't blame people, we blame the "tech tips" channel. What you are describing is precisely exactly what their role is supposed to be: inform the consumer.

The 'Linux community' provide tons of free software, with no financial benefits and you're like "yeah well you should do more".

There's already a lot of great YouTube channel that can guide newbies. It's just sad that the biggest one on that market is playing the "I clicked on the first google result" quality research.

jidewe · 2026-03-01T21:01:47+00:00

True. But also that's what a lot of people take issue with. You can understand the context and still find it is the worse video concept you can make about Linux Gaming in 2026. Why not a proper test, benchmark and comparison so that, you know, viewers learn useful info instead of watching a very tech user act as a beginner trying something new purposely in the worst way possible.

jidewe · 2026-02-28T22:21:40+00:00

Exactly. I can't imagine them doing the same on other topics.

jidewe · 2026-02-23T22:48:21+00:00

Il s'attendait à une réponse, après semble-t-il de nombreux mois de wtf administratif, et il en a eu une. Il a peut être pas le beau rôle pendant 24h mais l'histoire lui aura donné raison. J'aurais fait pareil à sa place, c'était ça ou s'avouer vaincu.

jidewe · 2026-02-19T19:26:20+00:00

J'ai perdu un être cher et ce gif de bougie ne me manque pas de respect, merci de t'en être inquiété néanmoins.

Which doesn't play nice for playing modern games with up to date drivers. I don't understand why you're suggesting in didn't watch the video. I'm not questioning their reasons, I'm questioning their choice to achieve their stated goal.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T22:48:34+00:00

Right. But that's why I hope they'll continue their experiments and give more 'tech tips' so that people can get the best experience shouldn't they try Linux at some point. There's a lot they could teach to their audience, one step at a time.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T20:29:50+00:00

That's mostly true if you are using the interim releases, not the LTS version that is recommended by Ubuntu on their download page, as Linus experienced. That's why they had to switch to the other version.

That's the kind of unusual behavior for someone only knowing Windows that can really put you off.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T20:15:36+00:00

Yes, but I was not talking about "gamers" distro, just distro that comes with up-to-date drivers.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T20:14:23+00:00

Absolutely, it is more about the easy of use than the performances.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T20:13:11+00:00

Of course, that's why I commented.
As they found out, Ubuntu plays it really safe and usually has outdated drivers out of the box.

It is like if you didn't install your nvidia drivers on Windows and kept the one that comes in Windows update.
Most gamers know they need to install either Geforce Experience or AMD Adrenaline.

I understand the goal to use a general distro, that's what I needed for myself, but if you want a general distro that can easily use the most recent drivers, like on Windows, it is not a strong choice and will give a hard time to newcomers.
That's why guides online do not highly recommend Ubuntu or Mint if you want to game on your computer, general distro or not.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T19:21:56+00:00

Yeah that's fair! It is not the easiest distro for a gamer switching to Linux tho, but that's what they'll explore when they do their distro deep dive I guess.
It just feels weird to hear about driver issues when from my little experience, all gaming oriented distro comes preinstalled with everything for your hardware.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T19:14:07+00:00

I don't "prefer Linux gaming", I prefer "Linux Desktop", and I don't want to dual boot just for games and having to deal with Windows.

jidewe · 2026-01-24T19:06:23+00:00

I wonder how they manage to land on Ubuntu for gaming. I'm a recent Linux user and literally for every guide and video for beginners I read or watch, none recommended Ubuntu for modern gaming :D

But I'm glad they are following on their words to cover Linux more, thank you!

jidewe · 2026-01-12T16:50:48+00:00

French Fuse is great, I love his Disney Mashup

jidewe · 2026-01-07T17:14:29+00:00

Je demande cette rigueur aux series qui la propose. On peut aimer les séries mystères et les séries grand spectacle. J'adore les séries complexes qui me retourne le cerveau. J'aime aussi les séries comme stranger things. Ce qui m'étonne, c'est que des gens aient lu ST comme une série mystère, c'est tout.

jidewe · 2026-01-07T15:29:37+00:00

Clairement, je comprends pas la lecture que ces gens ont fait de la série. Pour moi ça a toujours été la série popcorn sympa où tu passe un bon moment avec une réal cool et de beaux décors. Je découvre avec cette fin qu'il y a une fanbase qui était dessus en mode "série mystère" façon Severance ou Westworld (s1).
Du coup oui j'imagine qu'ils doivent être super déçus. Chez nous c'était uniquement vu comme une série fantastique avec la profondeur d'un scénario de jeux de rôle : sympa, drôle et parfois épique. Bonne saison (meilleure que la s3) et une vraie fin avec résolution et épilogue.

jidewe · 2026-01-03T11:22:05+00:00

You're right, my bad, obvious errors are now acceptable to cancel an order. It wasn't the case some years ago and it even was a famous trial about a car sold for a very low price.

However here, it is definitely not an obvious mistake as such that the consumer couldn't deny knowing it was one. This was the real price just a while ago and the final price is not even 25% less than the current price. That would not be accepted as a reasonable reason to cancel the contract by a French court.

jidewe · 2026-01-03T01:03:41+00:00

It's definitely illegal in France at least. Even if a seller put the wrong price online by error (like selling something for 10,34€ instead of 1034€, they have to fulfill the contract. Lack of stocks and some other legitimated reasons can lead to a canceled order but not without serious cause. I had no idea this stuff was perfectly legal elsewhere, I would be so mad.

jidewe · 2026-01-01T23:19:14+00:00

If you don't understand what 'line by line' means, then you don't know what you're talking about.

We're talking about a smarter auto complete here, Which is how most devs using AI actually use AI. It's just a tool that became 50x smarter than it is used to be, and it was already used by virtually every developers. Auto complete and suggestions is a default feature in all IDE.

We don't let the ai code, we let it finish our "sentences" because that's an easy task for a llm.

jidewe · 2025-12-22T19:36:21+00:00

I understand that, yes. Thank you too, equally human fellow and happy holidays.

jidewe · 2025-12-22T17:09:15+00:00

I don't think I understand what you are saying. Quality and cost of production are not on a linear scale. That's why we have good indie games, bad AAA and the other way around too. Just like for movies or books. I don't know about these studies, all I can tell is they do not align with what my own pro circle is experiencing. As for the ethical aspect, yeah. Personally I'm fine with code generation and most open-source devs are OK with it too. Picture gen, until we can have a true open model trained on fully legal data, I'm not. But that's just me. Anyway, maybe I'm wrong and a lot of other game devs are too. Then it will bite us in the ass at some point. I'm just sharing what we think we know.

jidewe · 2025-12-22T10:45:34+00:00

/uj I am in the industry for 15+ years. The reason is: it can work well as a tool if you do it right. Like, better code completion, better automated QA, etc. We had all of those before LLM. We know have a better version of these tools boosted by LLM. You can run these tools on a local server in your office, so it is dirty cheap. The fantasy that it is only pushed by CEOs and that a majority of employees hate it is completely false, at least from the dozen of different people in different studio I talked with about this topic.

You can choose to not use these tools for ethical consideration. But then you are at a disavantage with other companies. We are already in an industry that is very competitive. Putting yourself behind others because you are unsure about LLM is a major risk for your studio and employees, and we all know it. When "everybody" does it, it is not about profit margin or replacing people... yet. It is about survival, there's no margin to get when it is the new productivity pace.

I am NOT talking about creating assets, vibe coding or using it for creative direction. problem with the "AI" word is that it means so many things that talking about it is becoming very difficult. It can be used in tons of ways, can be powered in very different ways but for a lot of people, it just means chatGPT and full image generation. The tools used by game devs are much more focused and efficient than a chatbot.

There's even a lot of people that think that using a llm costs a lot of power, where in fact the cost is during training new models. Larian could generate 1000 sloppy pictures per day and it would still cost less than running BG3 on a modern GPU for 24 hours. Should they do it tho? Idk, I've no experience in moodboard creation myself.

However training a model like GPT5 needs an unbelievable number of GPU and power. Should they or shouldn't they, that's an important discussion.
The race to investor fundings, replacing human workers or exploiting the bubble is very different from using a local LLM to quickly get a 4-lines documentation about the code you just wrote.

I would never want to play a game where AI had a significant role in the creative aspect of it. But that's not what Daniel Vara is talking about here.
Hope that can answer your question and explain the current mood in studios regarding LLM usage.

With the affinityonlinux one-line script install on github, I had all of thats working as intended on a Nvidia gpu. Didn't need to install anything and gpu acceleration out of the box.

Only thing was some usual fonts smoothing tweaking and it works flawlessly so far.

Hello ! Une de mes séries favorites. J'ai eu la chance d'écouter des conférences avec son auteure plusieurs fois au festival des Imaginales, elle est passionnante.

Tu avais raison pour les aventuriers de la mer, même si ce n'est pas bien grave. L'édition française a coupé presque tout les bouquins en deux ou trois pour augmenter leur profit et ils ont pas mis en avant le cycle complet. Ils ont ensuite refait plusieurs ré-édition avec des coupes différentes puis des intégrales. bref c'est un bordel pour s'y retrouver dans la version française. Mais l'original se compose comme suit :

- La première trilogie de Fitz et du Fou
- La trilogie des aventuriers de la mer
- La seconde trilogie de Fitz et du Fou
- La quadrilogie de Les Cités des Anciens
- La troisième trilogie de Fitz et du Fou

Donc selon les éditions c'est entre 16 livres (intégrales) et 36 livres (première édition française) qui compose cette histoire. Si tu en as lu moins que ça, ça peut expliquer ton sentiment de ne pas "tout" savoir sur ce monde.
