hmm, yes, a rejection for using internals is totally the same as a rejection to steer a developer to platform technology

did you see that MoltenVK is actually using internals and just took a PR to stop doing so?

Linus Tech Tips collaborates with Wendell from Level1Techs to (attempt to) explain the current state of gaming on Linux. On the one hand I think the video does a pretty bad job, Wendell brings up a lot of technical details but doesn't explain them very well nor does the video actually go into enough depth on how to actually set any of this stuff up. Also it completely glosses over running games natively on Linux and jumps straight to WINE and GPU passthrough VMs. On the other hand that's pretty reflective of gaming on Linux, so :shrug:

and being all /r/linux about phoronix is not that constructive, show me any other site, any at all, that actually does graphics benchmarking on linux. he also maintains that test suite of his that has become the defacto cross-platform benchmarking suite

it wasn't even using any internal apis directly, they were just setting a flag to use IOSurfaces when initializing metal, which was a no-no prior to iOS 11. the initial fix was a trivial 3 line patch.

I liked when he copy pasted something into bash. setting that up probably took hours and hours so it makes sense that they'd skip over basically everything for the video.

I met the guy behind Phoronix once. It really is just one dude, writing the benchmark and articles and website and everything.

Compare that to, say, the business behind 3DMark or whatever.

On that note, running benchmark tools in Wine is still a thing.

It's the DX Simulator software from yamaha, it's probably useless when you don't have the hardware it controls through midi

I've got an old MU-2000EX with the DX board in it, it sounds like this

MIDI can be great, it's a shame the GM standard is such a low common denominator, and .mid files usually contain very little information about what gear they were designed for.

passing a flag to an API on iOS whose docs say “don’t pass this flag on iOS” is considered use of private API

dont use wine. play official ports, use a passthrough windows vm, and boot into window for games that dont like vm (counter-strike)
