They probably simply aimed to get the Source engine ported, which happens to be DX9-based. That there are lots of other DX9 games is a nice side effect.
A person who does not know that TLDP ( www.tldp.org ) exists . And or , has a habit to be spoon fed ala windoze In which case , he is going to find himself lost in the linux world once he goes through the expensive intro's
The material of TLDP is terribly outdated. It is almost completely unusable.
It's fucking great on servers though as the older neckbeards can't see very well any more so actually all get together and do stuff properly whilst listening to each other rather than trying to rewrite the fucking window manager for the bazillionth time.
Heh heh...that pretty much sums up the Linux world nicely.
Not necessarily. Things like this are just needed to toughen up Linux to make it the best gaming platform on the planet. The Linux devs will begin to realize that they have to provide stable and predictable platforms, instead of fragmentation and a mixed bag of technologies.
Yeah, Miles still reminds me of the DOS days. It's interesting that the thing still exists today, but it has evolved beyond just providing a set of sound card drivers and some extra. From the website:
Today, Miles features a no-compromise toolset that integrates high-level sound authoring with 2D and 3D digital audio, featuring streaming, environmental reverb, multistage DSP filtering, and multichannel mixing, and highly-optimized audio decoders (MP3, Ogg and Bink Audio).
I can see those features bringing value to present-day game developers.
you just need to allow the portal2 binary to use execheap. Now obviously its not good that portal2 uses execheap, but SELinux is fine grained enough to allow for it.
So it's either one of these that is the solution...
a) Go to System Settings -> SELinux -> Exceptions tab -> Tick a checkbox next to "Portal 2".
b) Read complex technical documentation with no good examples and spend a full day crafting the proper configuration by manually editing various text files.
Interestingly enough, the whole NX feature of Windows is still today enabled by default only for system services and processes. I guess Microsoft has made this decision to provide maximum compatibility. But when you install Windows, it's a good measure to go flip it on for all processes in Advanced System Settings.
I personally have noticed that GoldSrc-based games and Rayman 2 crash under Windows if NX is enabled for them. I have not seen problems with any other software.

It was only AMD speculation (which also happened to fit nicely with their Mantle strategy). DirectX 12 is now confirmed.
There was one in development, but he didn't finish the project.
If you are interested in this stuff, the Porting Source to Linux: Valve's Lessons Learned is also good watch, if you haven't seen it yet.
I am not the OP.
Heh heh...and now you assume things about me too? ;)
Hint: I'm not the GP.
The GP clearly had two pockets but still stored phone and keys in the same pocket.
But your message was a bit attacking too, as you assumed things about him which you didn't know for certain.
What changed in 4.4, then?
They wanted a cool RGB disco light.
Maybe you should use an actual dictionary?
Your link wasn't an actual dictionary either.

Do you have to back up that much, or can some of that data be archived? Is your working set really over 300GB?
Optical disc is one of the best ways to archive data.
Extended Support Release.
A bit, I admit.
Does the high water usage matter?

Also known as "Linuxbot" -- the stereotypical slashdotter who has been brainwashed to use only open source software, no matter how broken it is.

All right, I guess that isn't too bad...
