I found it amusing that the three intro screens for the new configuration tool demonstrate using a Steam Deck. It made my Steam controller jealous that it didn't have its own screen.

Quoting: MarlockThis is a widespread notion but I honestly don't get it...

If we were talking about some cryptic app that only exists in AUR I would be agreeing, but we're talking about Mesa here.

How's adding Kisak's (Stable) Mesa PPA in any way difficult on Ubuntu and derivates?

What about for non-Ubuntu and derivatives?

Consider that it may be a widespread notion because it is true (I don't know). Average users may find it difficult either way, either because they don't know how or they don't know what they don't know.

Maybe I should give it another look. I last played it in 2020 and didn't get very far. The crafting and material gathering was just dreadful compared so something like Subnautica. And the combat was meh at best. This video makes it look like almost a completely different game.

The case looks pretty but makes me really wonder how it gets any air into it at all. Maybe from the lower side panels. Oh, and no doors. The whole top appears to slide upwards. The accept panel seems cool though.

The last time I played The Hobbit the fishing mechanic didn't work. I'll have to give it another go.

The warning in the Valve teardown video of "here is is how you open it, now never do it" would give me pause unless the whining drove me absolutely nuts.

Now that GoL is a teenager should we expect a lot of moodiness and rolling of eyes?

I suppose at least some of the parts are replaceable but I don't know what the purpose of scratching everywhere was. It's obviously all the same material (e.g. he could have just scored the back and made his point). Knowing that the buttons won't wear out and that some are covered with stickers is actually useful information, but defacing it and making instant e-waste seemed pointless.

The NVIDIA driver requirement I think only applies to DX12 games and it's because vkd3d-proton now requires the VK_KHR_maintenance4 extension which was added in the 510.47.03 driver.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI meant being able to upgrade from RHEL 7 to 8, like you can go from Fedora 30, to 36..

Fair point. There is limited support to upgrade 7 to 8. I know there are some packages/products, IPA server for one, that cannot be upgraded this way. IIRC RHEL 7 was based on Fedora 19 and RHEL 8 on F28. That's quite a leap in a single upgrade.
