Quoting: damarrinWith every release Gnome becomes more of a MacOS rip off. It's not even in inspiration territory any more, it's all lifted straight from there.

I think doing anything else would violate the two rules of satisfaction:

They are only two things the user hates: change and the way things are.

Sorry, not trying to pick on you, just figured I'd be nice add a little humor. Congrats to the gnome team, sounds like a lot of hard work.

A new enemy faction would be cool. Something aside from the bugs. Maybe a new world tile set would be nice. Maybe robots or something that potentially would use the use same resources you need.

Both are great games.
But both are pretty much one and done though. I really have no desire to play them after having already played them.

I actually played it on a steam link several years ago. The babies loved watching me play it.

I only played it recently a few years ago. It's actually quite fun. I never realized how many pop culture references it spawned until I played the series.

I image the benefit of this would be to have a working example of "drop-in" support for a port, albeit an old one.

Coupled with Proton libs, its not far fetched to see a Valve maintained, Steam only, linux "wrapper" for your game to get extra Linux sales. Make the barrier low enough and there's not really a reason for a dev not to "push the linux button". If the barrier to wrap a game is stupidly low, Valve could even charge extra for it.

We can argue wether or not a wine/DXVK wrapper around a game is a "real" port or not. But in the end, it will run on linux, and that's what most people really want.

Quoting: tuubiTo be fair, the Gnome calculator is just Calculator, and Galculator is an unrelated project. But yeah, the name is silly.

I did not know that. Thanks for the info. I guess I'm a little biased into believing every app that starts with a K or G is one of thier projects ( I see you trying to sneak away there too, Q).

Really interesting idea.

Quoting: smnyou don't need to run kate as sudo, you just do "kate path/to/file" and when you save it'll ask for the password, I think this was done to prevent any buggy code to be potentially used for privilege escalation.

It didn't do that for me this weekend. I was trying to update my grub conf files for a hard drive switch. It would just give a "denied" error message.

I ended up just doing it in nano, at least the terminal allowed some cut and paste of UUIDs.


Also for those that thought the K and G brandings weren't so bad, I have one word for you.....

Galculator

Enough said.

I've being trying my hand at Cities: Skylines. It definitely has a very Sim City 4 vibe, although the humor is different, not as whacky. I'm still trying to get down the placement of streets and such. The game really want to fight me on it, but over all, it is quite fun.

I've also decided to stop buying games, probably for the year. I have so many, I really don't need anymore. My only exception would be if it was something I would play immediately. (For example, a DLC to a game im
currently playing). My personal bet is that I have plenty to keep me occupied for a long time to come.
