Re: New Mesa

I had a promising looking ray tracing improvement just merged into Mesa, BREAK the one game that uses RT that I most care about right now. Metro Exodus Enhanced was deadlocking before/on the menu screen (animated, train, moving scenery etc.). As I'm actively playing that right now, that won't do. It ...

You know I agree. Simplicity is what I like. I even use XFCE more like a window manager than a DE, I don't build the shit I don't like (e.g. Thunar... that bites the weenie) or its atrocious power manager.

Plasma is more of a "demo" to me than something I'd use for doing work or playing games ...
