Iwhich is funny as hell, considering that laptop has an Intel HD 4000 GPU
Ithat thing is /not/ vulkan compliant and /definitely/ doesn't support d3d12 even on windows
Ibut the based mesa devs got it working anyway (even then vulkan 1.0 support is not complete)
Athat gives a bit of confidence in getting it working, will take a look myself when i have a working linux install again
Ad3d12 would be absolutely ideal for me. i love d3d11 way more than i should do so d3d12 is probably the best api for me if it can work on linux and hopefully macs in the future as well
Awill be interesting trying to get the windows headers compiling on linux though. didn't have much luck before when i used dxvk-native. can't remember what was missing though, probably something obvious
Ewindows headers? like HWND/HDC and such? sounds painful
AYeah, directx needs a lot of the windows headers as well
Dlol that’s funny
II don't know that you would use the windows headers. AFAIK you'd be using only d3d, not directx
Sit's funny how notch became a billionaire and did literally nothing with that money
Ialso I wish I could use d3d12 everywhere with vkd3d but it's LGPL so I can't (there is a popular platform that supports vulkan but requires static linking and NDAs)
Idxvk isn't though, so I might fall back to d3d11
Ihowever, DXVK won't compile on my HD 4000 machine because it requires Vulkan 1.3 and the cracked mesa devs only support almost-vulkan 1.0 on HD 4000 GPUs.
Iwhereas the vkd3d samples do run 
Smaybe it's time to upgrade from ivy bridge
SI think basically everything works fine on skylake
CThat you know of. ;)
CAlso he bought a really expensive house in LA.
S70m out of 1.5B or something like that
Sphones are now faster than laptops in single thread lol
Dwell early retirement!
INah the lappy still works and Acer never made anything better.
II have a haswell desktop PC that has a Vega 64 in it if I /actually/ need graphics.
Sthere are other brands than acer lol
Iyeah, but I didn't see them making anything better either
Ithis laptop is
- small
- replaceable battery
- upgradable ram, hdd (I put an ssd in tho)
- core i5
Ianything with reasonable specs is over 11" now
Score i5 doesn't mean much when it's slower than a $200 phone. reminds me of using my x230 some time ago lol
Imy point being that it was actually usable at the time, anything released now in a similar formfactor has an anemic cpu
Ilike, this was clearly designed as a fully featured laptop. Nobody's doing that now in 11"
Smaybe you can find something that is 13" and has smaller bezels
S11 inch is dead though
Inah wouldn't fit in my bag
Iyeah it sucks
Iso I'll just keep using this one. I wish the screen was better though
Sx230 had a hilarious screen
Sworst TN panel in existence
Scolors shifted on the edges when looking perfectly straight
Ibasically acer accidentally made a good price/portability/performance laptop so they stopped that :P https://www.anandtech.com/show/6467/acer-aspire-v5171-notebook-review-the-death-and-rebirth-of-the-netbook
II just want this again with current specs, a less mushy keyboard, and an oled screen
Ibutt nobody's gonna give pack panel access like that again
Sxps 13 is 1 cm wider
Sbut xps kinda sucks with i/o
Sbezels are pretty crazy on them
Sthinner than apple
Imight see if lenovo can offer me a thinkpad
Ibut it looks like no matter what I do I'm spending double and getting soldered on ram and a non-replaceable battery
Ipretty sure apple's the only one insane enough to solder on the ssd too
Sapple situation is weird. they could make the perfect laptop but they are allergic to market share
