Just because they call it Open Source does not make it. DeepSeek is not Open Source, it only provides model weights and parameters, not any source code and training data. I still don’t know whats in the model and we only get “binary” data, not any source code. This is not Libre software.

Thanks for confirmation. I made a top level comment too, because this important information gets lost in the comment hierarchy here.

How is this Open Source? The official repository https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 contains images only, a PDF file, and links to download the model. I don’t see any code. What exactly is Open Source here? And if so, where to get the source code?

Well its one thing to tell that in comments like this, and another thing to prove it with benchmarks. And not all games are CPU limited, it depends.

Why? Full RayTracing with highest quality settings on some games is even for a 5090 too much. So it makes sense to play them at lower resolution (in example with upscaling, but its still lower res). Especially if you aim for very high FPS. Maybe for some games you aim to play at 240 fps, in which case 1440p or even 1080p is the only option, not 4k. Depending on the games.

And if you are not even considering to play at lower res, you might be interested in how it compares to other cards you already own and play at 1080p. Just to get an idea of how much it improves. Its not a wrong market, you just don’t see his or her use case.

Seems to run for some. Here is a Steam Community for Assetto Corsa EVO search term “Linux”: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3058630/discussions/search/?q=linux And for future reference I link to ProtonDB too, but right now there is no report there: https://www.protondb.com/app/3058630

What are you looking for? A FOSS news webpage or an app? You talk about DivestOS, which is an operating system for mobile when I search for. Its a bit unclear what you are looking for. Need to be more specific.

That’s great to hear. As you have used Linux on your Thinkpad, you know what awaits you. And that not everything is compatible. So no need for a lecture or standard disclaimer from me. I wish you good luck.

Although about PopOS, they are currently working on a completely new desktop environment and have a few betas out. Maybe with their next big release they will ditch Gnome (their current desktop environment) and use their own solution. I thought letting you know if you weren’t following the news. And I don’t know how much you like Gnome.

I didn’t know WINE could do that and play Win3x games! For anything Windows 3.x and DOS related games, I would have used DOSBox emulator. I use it for DOS and even Win98 games, and have to setup it for Win3x yet.

Sidenote: BTW I have looked what the game Castle of the Winds is about. Man its from Epic. This company was such a cool company back then.

Great to hear you got it working (somewhat). I bet it will get worse and worse with the backwards compatibility of Windows with each iteration. You are Win10, its probably worse in Win11, because they stray further and further from god. On the other hand you have WINE and Proton that gets better and better every day on Linux.

I have a top spec gaming PC now running Windows 10, but there are things this Thinkpad can do that my big PC can’t.

Your big PC could do the same. ;-)

I use FreeTube too and none Invidious instance work for me. So Local API only right now.

I have looked at the Steam discussion board for the game and people seem to be unhappy (based on the official streaming to showcase): a) Denuvo is planned to be integrated (not sure if plans have changed), and b) game looks and plays much different than any Civ so far. So Denuvo might still be integrated, but game can be perfectly playable on Linux. Denuvo is not an anti cheat system, its an anti theft system against piracy.

Interesting. Thanks for digging up.

No, I’m not that guy. I also didn’t know about what the guy did, before you telling me here. Officially there was no plans on adding Kernel level anticheat to the game, right? So what the guy did was not based on real information. Or did I miss an official statement?

The previous Civilization games are playable on Linux, so its not really locking out Linux users. But I guess the online part does not work? I never played in online modes, so didn’t lookup or knew this.

I would totally ignore these specs for the moment. It’s not telling much.

System specs are meaningless without knowing what the terms refer to; the context is missing. Like what resolution and fps we are talking about here? What level of settings (graphics and such) are used for “minimum” or “recommended”? The problem why the devs do not a “proper” specs sheet is, because they could be liable for it. I mean the more detailed the list is, the more people get angry if it does not work as expected on their machine. Also nowadays we have handheld PCs like the Steam Deck, which is pretty standardized hardware. They could provide detailed information how well it runs on a device like this or if its not playable / supported.

That is longer that expected. But I don’t know what I even expected. Laptops can reach those times too (although laptops have bigger batteries).

Pre-configured hardware with pre-installed Linux is the best way to expand. The technical side of driver support and gaming support is solved already (besides one specific kind of games, but thats another topic for another day). The biggest hurdle for people is to try Linux and set it up themselves. Only a few nerds go this far. It’s amazing right now!
