Ubuntu 21.04 is out now with Wayland by default and a new dark theme

Quoting: EikeI didn't follow closely, but I'm surprised they've made the switch to default to Wayland.
I guess they wouldn't have done the same for an LTS version...?
It's not the first time; one of the previous interim releases tested it on a different LTS cycle, but it wasn't ready then. If there's been sufficient work done so that everything works, they'll keep it, otherwise they'll switch back to X again for the next release and try again another time.

Edit: just checked, and it was 17.10 when they tested it before, the release that discontinued Unity.

Spiritfarer hits 500K sales with The Lily Update out, Thunder Lotus' most successful game

Quoting: EikeI'm so much looking forward for my two little ones (3 yo) to become old enough for some (more) interesting games! :)

FWIW, mine started keyboard-mousing at 2, with Qube - first just on my lap while we talked about the puzzles (there's some dialogue you'll probably want to mute) and then taking over himself a bit later. He's since (he's 5 now) done The Talos Principle, Qube 2, some of The Road To Gehenna (it's really hard!), Slime Rancher, and a bunch of other games that are listed in the "games for children" thread.

There's just an amazing amount of awesome games around. It's a darn sight richer than the Granny's Garden that I grew up with.

They'll get a sale from me just as soon as my little one is old enough. I'm really looking forward to it.
What have you been playing? Have a Sunday chat with us

Quoting: denyasisBeen trying No Man's Sky via proton. Seems to run just fine. Aside from the main plot missions, I'm not sure how much I'm in to it. Everything seems cumbersome, from the building, to the exploring, to the foot and space combat.

I think it's made with a controller in mind, maybe I'll try it with a steam controller and see if that helps.
Both me and my little one found NMS to be fine with kb/m. There's a setting in the controls ("Locked") to make flight less weird. The building system is really clunky, though.

My clearing-the-backlog plan stalled when I hit Northgard, which has now somewhat monopolised my gaming time.

My little one recently discovered the Minecraft Create mod, so I think that's what he's going to be doing for a while.
Klabater drops Linux and macOS support for Crossroads Inn

Quoting: slaapliedjeIt is games like this why I stopped (almost) getting anything that is in EA. Basically if I like the ifldea, I will put it on the wishlist.
I can't remember, does the wishlist show the dev that it is there, and does it show preferred OS?

Both. The devs get to see the number of wishlists (which also affects placement in the store) expandable by platform. You need to set your preferences to only show you games for the platform you're interested in for your wishlist entry to be counted as a particular platform, though.
Stellaris: Nemesis expansion and the free 3.0 'Dick' update are out now

Quoting: TcheyAs a non-native english, Dick is never firstly a first name for my brain.

It's a surname in this case. Lots of the Stellaris updates have been named after sci-fi authors. But you do get to destroy the galaxy with this one, so it's appropriate that it's his turn now.

Quoting: TcheyWhy english speakers name things (and people...) "Dick" with all the side-meanings associated ?
It's named after Philip K., I believe.
System76 announce COSMIC, their own GNOME-based desktop environment for Pop!_OS

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyI'd be willing to give it a whirl - but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of "mainstream" distros using it (particularly in the Debian / Ubuntu-based world), and I'm too lazy to muck around with it too much.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Kubuntu and KDE Neon are both prominent Ubuntu-based distros that use KDE. Kubuntu is one of the Ubuntu flavours, so it follows Ubuntu's release model, and KDE Neon is from the KDE project, putting the latest KDE release on an LTS Ubuntu base. It's easy enough to fire up a live USB of either to see if it's the kind of thing you might be interested in.
