I think the guys starting the project were new. They might have hired experts along the way.

I do not wait because of the state of the launch. I wait, because game will improve over time through updates. Like whatever bugs are ironed out, new features and balance changes and such. Rarely a single player game gets worse over time. In example FSR4 was added now, arguable making the game better than before, as this is the superior technology for this kind of thing on AMD hardware.

And it’s their first game. A truly WTF moment in gaming history… in a good way I mean.

I will be one of those who play the game later in its best state. Like I did with Cyberpunk 2077. :D I just wait until more features are added and bugs get fixed.

Well, no need to websearch. Just go to the website and look for any official links, such as the wiki. As for the optimized packages, I found this on their website:

CachyOS does compile packages with the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 instruction set and LTO to provide a higher performance. Core packages also get PGO or BOLT optimization.

So the listed CPUs in the requirements list should take advantage of this I guess. And my assumption is, that these CPUs are required to run the packages at all. Maybe that’s where the “newer machines” is meant with.

Who says CachyOS is mostly for newer machines?? I don’t know why anyone would make such a claim. At least on their website, no such claim can be found. The official system requirements are listed at https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_prepare/ , you can switch between minimum and recommended set.

I was on Manjaro before too and can recommend the switch to EndeavourOS too.

Delisting of games always suck, regardless of what store it is.

The linked forum does not open for me.

Agreed. Also the words “Classi:c” and “Classi:fied” have lot in common. :-)

Me too. What happened there? I thought it might be because some of my browser extensions block few scripts and other elements. Enabling some of the stuff didn’t make reveal the article, so I lost interest. Or is it paid?

Hmm, that’s a new one for me. Why the dislike for DisplayPort?

DisplayPort for the win

Very interesting read.

No, they don’t. Its actually described. Distrowatch just tracks how many clicks the pages on Distrowatch has. That’s all. But lot of people don’t understand and take these numbers as general popularity index.

As long as enough people play and buy subscription each month, it will still be available. Look at Runescape, its also still kicking. I wonder if Runescape or WoW will die first. Imagine the last servers getting shutdown…

I assume its something that is against modding, and something to avoid unlocking DLCs for free. This is speculation on my part, I have no idea.

And on DistroWatch (last 30 days) its still place 16, just above NixOS. :D Shows again why DistroWatch shouldn’t be used as a generalized popularity comparison: https://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=4 (Note the link will have different data after time goes on.)

How is it bloated if you decide what to put on? Gentoo isn’t a traditional distribution, its what you make it to. Still you have to answer for yourself why you even want to switch to Gentoo. And if all the extra work for compilation is worth it. Do you even want to compile everything and customize the compilation process? If not, maybe Gentoo is not for you. That’s the thing. Only you can answer that.

Why do you want switch to Gentoo in the first place? I think its a good idea if you want to customize and build lot of applications yourself. Besides heavy hitters like browsers or the Kernel. So only you can answer if this is a good idea for you.
