What's that driving game?
It makes me nervous that they call X11 legacy when AFAIK they may never implement window shading on Wayland.

That's Cyberpunk 2077.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Congratulations on this milestone! Been hearing positive feedback from people who’ve used it already, can’t wait to get my own hands on it :ablobcatbongo:

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social KDE, my beloved. Thank you folks for offering me one of the best desktop environments for linux. Only distro I get, I always want KDE. :)

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I almost switched to KDE from XFCE because I wanted a desktop with a bit "more" but it ran like crap on my PC. Idk if it is because of KDE issues or my GTX 960 is just too old.

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Not the GPU itself but rather its drivers. Plasma 6 flies on potatoe laptop integrated graphics in power saving mode.

[-] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 8 months ago

I'd say the GTX 960 is unlikely to be the bottleneck. Plasma really does not need a recent GPU.

[-] parens@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

When was the last time you used KDE? It's been able to run on low-spec machines since KDE4 which about a decade old

I run KDE 6 on Core 2 Duo with Nvidia 9400/nouveau.

[-] socksinspace@sueden.social 1 points 8 months ago

@shanesemler @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social For what it's worth: I still run KDE Plasma 5 on a core 2 duo and a period correct low tier gpu, it won't blow your socks off, but it works fine, and i have no reason to believe that 6 should perform worse.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can't wait to check this one out! Godspeed KDE!!
