Empathy and understanding lead to ceasing hostilities under natural circumstances. This does not work, however, with those who have given themselves entirely to evil in one way or the other. That sets us at diametric odds with [them] and their desires. There cannot be peace with that which is behind and undergirds [them]. On the other hand, if they repent, then this can be applicable to those relationships, as well. When, as Longfellow observes, we see their pain and suffering, we find ways to forgive them and move past that former opposition.

TTT 34.3 – Dxvk 2.0 Released
Dxvk is a translation layer for directX calls to be readable and usable by vulkan. It makes it far easier to run Windows games in Linux. Without Dxvk, one is stuck emulating directX, which is far more intensive than simply translating it.
What is new/ better with this release?
Better memory management for D3D9 games and apps
Changed Dx10 and Dx11 implementations
Reduced D3d11 CPU overhead
Lots of improved game support
