News - STAR WARS Zero Company is a Clone Wars XCOM and I want it now

Oddly, exactly because I've never been a fervent Star Wars fan, I've been less affected by the Disney decline. So I'm not much more "over" Star Wars than I ever was . . . still planning on watching a few bits I haven't seen that are reputed to be good, and skipping the rest. And I like XCOM 2 quite well, and that general kind of game quite a lot. So, this does intrigue me.
I remember when I first bought the book "Star Wars", and it said "Soon to be a major motion picture" on the cover, and twelve year old me said "Oh like that's going to happen, nobody makes science fiction movies". Then it came out and I thought "Well, it's fun, but not exactly the 'Lensman' series. What's with these stupid ship guns going 'pew pew pew' instead of having ravening beams of energy? And what's with fighter spacecraft doing these curving turns in space using wings?! Come on!" But over time I became reconciled to Star Wars as a pretty good fantasy in space.

Everspace2 is such a wonderful game. I'm not playing it right now, but when this releases I'll for sure pick this dlc up just to support the devs.

Love the studio, love the genre, love the idea of this game SO MUCH, but like @leahi84 I'm just sooooooooooo over anything Star Wars related at all. So, unfortunately, I'll probably pass on this as well for that reason alone.

I managed to finish first xcom on normal.
I failed second xcom. Game where rules don't exist and random is so ridiculous that you have better chances to spot with naked eye Quantum Physics phenomenon than reliably, more or less, hit someone, with 95% chance hit chance.
The whole cover is also a BS mechanics. Enemies shoot trough walls, etc. I wonder if they did anything about in this game. Albeit, cant say i am much interested in star wars universe at this stage.

News - Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop
By iwantlinuxgames, 20 Apr 2025 at 7:26 pm UTC
this is the method i wanted to use but for some odd reason my grub "splash" is black and i can't be arsed enough to fiddle with it right now. this would have been a more optimal method than the chroot solution i posted previously.
By iwantlinuxgames, 20 Apr 2025 at 7:26 pm UTC
"This happened twice to me. First time was a 24.10 to 25.04 beta upgrade on my main machine and recently a 24.10 to final 25.04 on a family machine. Each time when I logged in, I got this broken login screen.
I ended up fixing it by selecting Advanced Options in GRUB and then Recovery for the recent kernel. I enabled Networking and then went to the Root prompt and ran:
apt update && apt install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
After that (I am on ethernet), I restarted the machine and worked."

News - Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop
By leinad965, 20 Apr 2025 at 1:45 pm UTC
Outside of that issue, I have oposite feeling, as Kubuntu since 24.04 is constantly improving. They fixed installer in 24.04 and in 25.04 they provided very latest Plasma on top of very latest Qt with special upstream patch fixing crashes.
By leinad965, 20 Apr 2025 at 1:45 pm UTC
That is not the first time in recent times, 13 hours ago in I wrote
Kubuntu has been in constant decline since at least 23.04, (basically it's been like that since the main maintainer left and did KDE Neon with more people leaving constantly I assume) I wouldn't recommend it. Just look at all the upgrade problems emerging with 25.04 and all the mispackaging issues and misconfigurations since 24.04. Personally I couldn't enable video hardware acceleration with Chromium only in 25.04 beta but I could basically everywhere else, OpenMandriva, Fedora, Elementary and what not. If you want KDE from the so-called "mainstream" distros, Fedora KDE edition is most probably the better and more professional choice.
