Quoting: mike456Why XWayland and not Wayland? What's the difference? I want to use Wayland for the enhanced security as soon as possible.

XWayland is for running X applications (so approximately all games, and legacy applications) on Wayland.

Wayland on Nvidia works approximately fine with some compositors (with the known Nvidia and Wayland issues) but XWayland on Nvidia wasn't hardware accelerated, which makes it not terribly useful. This work is to enable hardware acceleration for XWayland.

Quoting: slaapliedjeNot that I am a huge Redhat fan, but they do seem to finance a huge majority of the Linux projects in some way.

Red Hat makes about $ 4 billion a year. The next biggest AFAIK, SUSE, only makes about $ 450 million. If Red Hat weren't using their money to fund stuff, that would really suck.

Quoting: AkonadyThis game has so many DLCs, that is just stupid.

Six Seven (now) are new locations, and three are new types of cargo. All the rest are just cosmetic things that you aren't going to get unless you really want your trucks painted in your national flag, say, or want to specifically support the developers for maintaining the game for a decade.

Quoting: DerpFoxJust to be sassy, I've never heard of that case. Really, first time I hear about it. That's also why I love this website it talks about that kind of things.

There are more details about the ruling and some of the history of the case here, for those that are interested.

Quoting: The_Aquabatyou are missing the point. @CatKiller

Then I'm really not sure what your point is. If it's that Liam could have put "US" in the opening paragraph or headline, then I've already agreed with that. If it's that Liam probably should have put "US" in the opening paragraph or headline, then I've already agreed with that, too. If it's that Liam must put "US" in the opening paragraph or headline, for a widely-known and infamous US case, then I don't agree, because it's already widely-known and infamous.

Quoting: The_Aquabatthis is not what it is about. It's not obvious for the reader technically you are right, but it's totally possible scenario . Like Epic for example sued Google and Apple on UK courts... so why a Google vs Oracle in other country than the US is not possible?

The infamous case that's lasted for decades and ultimately turned on "fair use" (a US legal concept) happened, and could only have happened, in the US. While Oracle could have also sued Google elsewhere, an article about a new case would definitely have prominently specified that it was a new case.

I agree with you that if Liam were following strict journalistic norms he would probably have specified the country and it would be fairly straightforward to; I disagree with you that it is necessary in this case.

Clearer?

Quoting: The_Aquabatthis article never mentions which country's Supreme Court, many countries have Supreme Court, it's not obvious, had to click on the link to find out.

While technically true, how many countries have given us Oracle vs Google?

Quoting: kuhpunktI think it's actually kinda funny that they aren't even planning to release it on the Epic store.

It's not like there's any reason to. It's a terrible storefront with no customers that isn't available for all of the platforms the game has been developed for. Plus I'd imagine that Feral are privately quite salty about Troy.

Quoting: kokoko3kwhat do you liked most?

It's hard to say. The LucasArts adventures are, I think, the best games ever made. But I'd played them before. I hadn't played through the remasters, though, which is why they were in my backlog.

The ones I play with my little one are an amazing experience because I'm playing them with my little one. Solving puzzles and exploring game worlds is great, but watching a five year old solve puzzles and explore game worlds is a whole other level.

Either way, there's a ton of great gaming to be done on Linux, and that's the main thing.

I've been trying to clear some of my backlog.

Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2
Monkey Island 3

About ten minutes of Monkey Island 4 before I gave up on it.

Full Throttle
Whispering Willows
Grim Fandango
Helium Rain
CAT Interstellar
Near Death
Sigma Theory
Jotun

My little one's been playing Minecraft, Qube 2, Contraption Maker, Slime Rancher, Pikuniku, and Area 86. He's also decided that he really wants to play Tacoma, which I'd lined up as my next one to play through, but I'm trying to gently discourage that, since I suspect it will get grim at some point.
