  • Performance Is about on par with windows for everything dx9 to dx12. Dx8 and earlier I think are not supported by wine.

    In general you will be able to play almost all games, as long as they don’t require kernel level anti cheat, but some online games do block Linux users. In the case of tarkov I can’t help, you should read online.

    Older games should be fine, personally I played Max Payne 1 an 2 a couple month ago, and the original Hitman series runs better than on windows.

    Expect to do some tinkering on some more advanced games. E.g.: Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Alan Wake 2 require the experimental version of proton, God of War Ragnarok requires to enable SteamDeckMode on a config file to disable PlayStationSDK, usually you will find suggestions on protondb.

    Some Nvidia proprietary things will not work in games on wine, e.g.: GPU accelerated physix will not work, also on some games dlss will require editing wine’s registry.



  • Try to draw a full semicircle and extend the 7 units long red line, you will notice it falls on the other corner of the semicircle. In fact, every way of drawing two segments from a semicircle corner to the same point if the circumference forms a right triangle.

    Now, on the original figure, draw the hypotenuse of the red triangle, you will notice the hypotenuse is as long as the extension you draw earlier, because both start from the same height and fall on a corner of the same semicircle. That means that you can find the extension by calculating the hypotenuse.

    Now, you can calculate 7+extension to get the cathetes of the extended triangle, and it’s hypotenuse is the diameter of the semicircle. You can divide the diameter by two to get the radius.

    Now, you notice that: X, the radius, and the red hypotenuse form a right triangle, and you know the length of the red hypotenuse and of the radius, so you can find X.

  • Maybe if all the forks merge into a single project, and if that project becomes part of some foundation like the Linux foundation or most likely freedesktop, and if some folks from big tech companies get paid to work on it full time (probably google would, for obvious reasons, but it wouldn’t be enough), and if distros start shipping that in place of firefox, and if for some reason the less tech savvy get to know about this project…

    …Then if all of that happens, forks might have a chance of still existing.

    This is how most big open source projects (like Linux, gnome, mesa, etc) thrive. With the catch that while most tech companies have some stake in Linux and friends, no company other than google has any stake in Firefox existing.
