New article! A user is reporting full system freezes while using Superluminal on Linux. What do you do? Cry? Well, we did a little bit. But we also dove into the kernel...again, fixing several issues in eBPF's spinlock implementation. Read all about it: rovarma.com/articles/a-tal…

If you want a CPU profiler with actually *good* UI/UX on Linux instead of…that, may I interest you in Superluminal superluminal.eu/applications/l…

The mythical Year of the Linux Desktop gets another year closer

@opdroid1234 oooh!

😍😍 - one of the windows software that i missed the most on linux :)

@olson_dan huh, that made me wonder if it’s still around, and it seems to be down entirely

@olson_dan ahh TCE, now that’s an age and a half ago

Lots of people don't understand professionalism. I got into a fight on Private Invite-Only Game Industry Forum (tm) one time about people talking shit about competitive products. "It's unprofessional." "No it's not, it's marketing!" Professionalism starts with mutual respect. If you don't have that basic foundation, just don't talk.

@HookedBehemoth @cmuratori @SuperluminalSft Yeah, I figured - nice one! The offer still stands though; let us know if you run into any issues on our side :-)

@rovarma @cmuratori @SuperluminalSft Sorry, missunderstanding. I wanted to poke fun at the fact "Year of the Linux Desktop". Found this in _my_ application with the help of Superluminal

Year of the Linux Desktop continues unabated!

@cmuratori @HookedBehemoth @SuperluminalSft Thanks for the tag! I don’t *think* this is an issue on our side, since we don’t have (and have never had) a public issue tracker, but feel free to DM me, or email info@superluminal.eu if you run into any issues :)

@HookedBehemoth The profiler folks are on here as @SuperluminalSft. Not sure if it's worth talking to them about it (I'm not sure I understand what the bug is, or if it's theirs or not, etc.)

@lucasmeijer transip? :)

whoa, wanted to get a new hetzner box for this demo, and they kind of ran out. where do I get a cheap vps that's not too far from amsterdam these days.

Ironically, the move is driven more by Windows getting steadily worse, rather than Linux getting steadily better. If our main business wasn't on Windows, I'd be seriously considering switching to Linux fulltime myself now that we have Superluminal running on it.

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/06/…

@erin_catto Congrats!

@mwesterdahl76 @SuperluminalSft Thanks man! :)

@SuperluminalSft Congrats guys! 🎉

Today is a big day! We're shipping two major and highly requested updates to Superluminal: agentic profiling and the Linux open beta. Heck, there's even a new website! Read on... 👇

@tyljobr @SuperluminalSft Yep, I figured :) Will keep you posted!

@rovarma @SuperluminalSft Hey. Just so you know nothing here was missed: I was the person chatting with you after I was able to get passed the activation screen by running Superliminal as sudo. I'll definitely give this another try when a patch is pushed out. Cheers.

@TahaTorabpour Thanks man! :)

@rovarma This is super cool and impressive! Huge congrats! It's been great reading the devblogs on the journey to here!

The year of Superluminal on the Linux desktop is finally here! It has been a huge undertaking, way, way (way) bigger than we ever expected, so I'm super excited to finally release this to the wild. Really curious to see how well this works outside of our relatively small group. Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you!

@ssh4net and which distro did you test this with?

@ssh4net awesome, good to know, and thanks for trying that out! so you can open the resulting capture on windows just fine, including symbols etc?

This has been a fun one to work on too. It's a night and day difference what a difference it makes when an AI agent has access to actual performance data instead of having it guess at why code is slow. We've been test driving this both internally and externally, and results are looking great :) Give it a try!

@ssh4net If you just want to capture in WSL, you can use SuperluminalCmd, that doesn’t require activation indeed. Note that we haven’t tested WSL ourselves; we extensively rely on eBPF for our capturing backend, so depending on how well that’s supported in WSL, it may or may not work

@rovarma How can I try to use it in WSL? It runs a GUI but requires activating a license by opening a web browser. Technically i mainly thought to use it as a CLI but do i need activate it first using GUI?
