  • Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.

    When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.





  • 23.1 already has ray tracing support, although it doesn’t work on all titles. With 23.2 a notable example that should have rt support is Cyberpunk 2077. The rt performance should also increase by a lot, and even more in 23.3.

    That said, I also think I will turn it on, say the frame rates are too low and switch it off again. And that’s with a 7900 XTX. What I have seen of ray tracing I do not consider all that impressive. Maybe experiencing it myself will change my mind, but the Radeon 7000 series is not powerful enough in that department I think. And considering I want this card to last 4ish years, I probably won’t see ray tracing on my machine any time soon, unless FRS 3 proves to be surprisingly good.
