Quoting: StalePopcornAs far as computing is concerned, thank God for Linux for end users—true freedom, true choice. IMHO

Big THANK YOU to everyone in Linux, the digital freedom of humanity is made possible because of all of us. We may have even averted a Digital Dark Age and incalculable disparity & suffering in the future because of what we've done here today in the now.

I always hoped that the Winter & Summer sales would be the BIGGEST of the year.

I'm thinking of buying one for a server or something. I very much hope the GPU War of the future is AMD vs Intel and Nvidia can go away (mostly) -- which since EVGA is no longer making NVIDIA seems likely as they were #1.

I've phased out nearly all Intel CPUs as Ive been on Thank You AMD phase, so this is a weird turn for me -- I just acknowledge Intel has had a open source driver since forever.

Open source drivers dictates a much higher probability I will buy something.

What KDE theme is that on dolphin? Ye olde steam theme looks pretty legit.

Oh good! You used to not be able to donate directly to Kenlive, at best you could donate to KDE in the past.

I noticed some projects like Krita limit donations to 100€ which I think needs to be updated. I hope their Kdenlive is not capped so short.

I really hope they can supercharge their development.

Quoting: rea987

Quoting: ElectricPrismI guess I forgot what I read and later bought this game, then Proton + Steam Deck throws error "Can't set view-port"

I could go through the effort to make it run, but then I have hundreds of titles and the idea of spending money and not having something work is bad service -- I hope they get it sorted out -- with the tens of thousands of other games that play on Proton just fine -- they should get this sorted.

I never played this before so I'm not nostalgic, it just looked like fun and reminiscent of a time period where games were really difficult & rewarding.

Use Luxorpeda instead of Ptoton as the article suggests.

After 2 decades of bending over backwards to make things work on Linux, LAN gaming on WINE in 2005, I'm just done. That's what the money is for.

I give the developer/publisher my money, and I expect a minimum level of hassle-free experience. If they don't provide that then they don't deserve my money.

I just have 500 other games I could play, I collect to support pro-Linux devs, it's just not worth the effort (for me) especially if I lower my standards and have to repeat this process 500 times

-- If I was going to put in manual effort, I would buy a bunch of games on GOG and manually maintain a offline collection that can never be taken away from me (which I do sometimes).

Anyways, just doing me -- not preaching that anyone needs to follow me, but if they do that's up to them.

Quoting: EgonautA crowdfunded game doesn't get a promised Linux port? Wow, that's new! /s

This game did have high hopes in my book, what a let down.

The other game on my radar is System Shock, which I don't know if it'll ever materialize. Today I read Tencent bought the rights to System Shock 3, which basically guarantees the series will be ruined after SS2 in the same way the Halo series is pretty shit after 3, even more so with Infinite judging from fan's remarks this year.
