I upgraded a few weeks ago. It was rather seamless.

And Gnome, for me, is the best of the Linux desktops. I also regularly use KDE and Cinnamon and they are great in their own right, but with Gnome I get a bit more fun from my computing. I do miss a couple of KDE features, though.

There's an update to this. I noticed yesterday fps limiting no longer worked correctly on my TV and today it is fixed.

I’m quite happy with this, I always used to have to adjust both sliders to get the fps I wanted.

Apple basically want developers to make software only for them and distribute it only through them. There are a lot of people who do that and thrive within their ecosystem. It's a tough sell for games, and I don't mean those free to play pay to win things phone stores are full of.

I just installed it (again) today and played a bunch. Performance is surprisingly fine using the Steam Deck preset. The launcher was an annoyance, glad there’s a way to disable it. All in all, it looks ready to play now.

Quoting: grigiHold on... MK has a story?
It was all the rage back when I was in high school, didn't even know it was a thing anymore

Stories are basically mandatory in fighting games nowadays. The story mode is basically long cutscene-fight-long cutscene-fight, repeat for some hours. MK does it, DoA does it, it's all the rage. A huge improvement to what was there before as far as I'm concerned. It's all quite entertaining and makes these games interesting for people like me, who have no interest in fighting others.

I’ll just wait for Fedora 39 to come out, many of the inevitable bugs should be sorted by then. Good times!

Quoting: jordicomaAnd the question that everyone asks. Why with a long standing series has to have the name 1? They had an overflow on the version counter?

I guess they did focus group testing and found out people couldn't count much beyond 10 and so here we are.

"Completely containerized" is maybe going a bit far, a wine/proton prefix is just a directory with all the windows files for the game in it, but basically yes.
