archcraft VS Godot

try a few different ones that comes preinstalled with a window manager - window managers are all slightly different so it comes down to which one you prefer to use If you want to try Bspwm you can check out Archcraft - it comes preinstalled with bspwm and openbox and several themes

If you don't want to configure it yourself, use an already configured setup like Archcraft.

I'm using Openbox for the first time, it has been working wonderfully. I've decided to take some configuration from Archcraft, (mostly to make my base Arch install look a bit better) however the pipemenu seems to not work.

This might not be popular here, but archcraft could be a good starting point to get into WMs, as it's basically arch but with openbox and all the stuff you might want pre-installed. I don't have too much experience with it though, so I can't say how it compares to a custom setup in terms of performance.

Anyway, I want to install archcraft and I've been getting a black screen during live boot. Fortunately, the fix is well known and its documented in the official wiki... Unfortunately I don't understand the instructions:

I noticed that Godot Engine Apple Vision OS support is merged today. <3

Godot + LLM backend

> I failed to fairly evaluate my options at the start of the project.

The more projects I do, the more time I find that I dedicate to just planning things up front. Sometimes it's fun to just open a game engine and start playing with it (I too have an unfair bias in this area, but towards Godot [https://godotengine.org/]), but if I ever want to build something to release, I start with a spreadsheet.

It’s definitely niche, but one of the best presentations I’ve ever seen was done in godot [0]

One of my coworkers copied our PowerPoint theme, built a super basic presentation mode with transitions and used the engine for interactive demos live in the slides running the code.

I don’t think the support depends on distros much, I think the main variable is hardware. If you have a desktop PC bought in the last ~5 years the support should be OK, for the hardware older than that the support is not guaranteed. GeForce GT 730 (launched in 2014) doesn’t support Vulkan, Intel only supports Vulkan on Windows starting from Skylake launched in 2015.

Then there’re quality issues. If you search internets for “Windows Vulkan issue” you’ll find many end users with crashing games, game developers with crashing game engines https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/100807 recommendations to update drivers or disable some Vulkan layers in registry, etc.

On Windows, Vulkan is simply not as reliable as D3D. The reasons include market share, D3D being a requirement to render the desktop, D3D runtime being a part of the OS supported by Microsoft (Vulkan relies solely on GPU vendors), and D3D being older (first version of VK spec released in 2016, D3D11 is from 2009).

Another thing, on Linux, the situation with Vulkan support is less than ideal for mobile and embedded systems. Some embedded ARM SoCs only support GLES 3.1 (which BTW is not too far from D3D 11.0 feature-wise) but not Vulkan.

I personally find Go miles easier than Rust.

Is this the ultimate reason,Go is fast enough without being overally difficult. I'm humbly open to being wrong.

While I'm here, any reason Microsoft isn't sponsoring a solid open source game engine.

Even a bit of support for Godot's C#( help them get it working on web), would be great.

Even better would be a full C# engine with support for web assembly.

Historically, open-source software has played a critical role in democratizing the development process. Platforms like Blender for 3D modeling and Godot Engine for game creation have revolutionized the creative process, offering free and powerful alternatives to proprietary solutions. By integrating these tools, The Sandbox leverages the robustness of community-driven technology and innovative coding practices that have been refined over years of collaborative use. The decision to delve into open source is not merely about cost savings or accessibility—it signals a paradigm shift. By embracing transparency and community input, The Sandbox is setting the stage for new forms of digital ownership and interaction. These practices lead to more secure, adaptable, and innovative gaming experiences that challenge the norms of traditional game development.
