The system monitoring was broken with a NVIDIA driver update that added and re-ordered columns in nvidia-smi output. The number and order was hardcoded in ksysguard so since things didn't line up it was skipped altogether. The fix in 5.27.8 was to make it identify the columns dynamically so it shouldn't break again.
I have my own hacky patch against 5.27.6 that corrects the ordering. Backporting the upstream fix was too hairy.

That is quite a good deal for a fun game. I particularly enjoyed the Far Harbor DLC. The Creation Club interface available in Steam is a rather nice way to find and install mods but if you've used Nexus before I doubt anyone would have too many problems with mods.

I donated $2 for the "free" version to reward the trippy way the sand flows. It's a pretty fun game and I'm terrible enough at it that it's a quick thing to do in between other stuff. I guess I'll wishlist the Steam version too though I doubt I'd ever get what is called a "high" score :-)

Same here. DOSbox games wouldn't launch but do now. I had to start them from the shell, which was honestly straightforward, but that is the point of the UI.

What a milestone. This site is just amazing, with multiple articles written nearly every day.I remember the dark days (pre-GOL) where one was lucky to find anything Linux gaming-related. This in addition to the YT channel. Simply marvelous.

I've used it in the recent past and it worked quite well for my CD-based collection. I mostly launch games through Steam these days. At this point I mostly I use my CrossOver membership to help support development.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualWhat do you think of CrossOver for managing WINE?

It's the smaller fonts that is killing my aging eyes. There doesn't appear to be a font size setting, just toggle to scale to monitor size (whatever that means).
I also see the additional VRAM usage, and my GPU memory frequency maxed out at one point while flipping around.
It doesn't restore the Store screen when switching KDE desktops.
I'm generally slow to accept change in UI but this is similar enough I think I'll get used to it quickly and forget how it used to work.

Quoting: XpanderIt looks nicer. Font sizes are nicely smaller also on the top row and its more consistent with its theme stuff now, but its extremely buggy. Smooth scrolling is super slow, its like they changed how fast it scrolls. Have to scroll like crazy to move it. It also seems to eat VRAM a lot more than stable and doesn't seem to release VRAM when theres no activity. So yeah. lot of work to do i guess but its a start.

I wonder how well siege will work in single-player.
