TUXEDO launch their smallest Linux gaming notebook with the Book XP14

But the most widespread 16:10 resolution was 1680×1050, not 1920×1200. Less than FHD in both dimensions. When I was about to buy my first desktop in 2009, I hardly could find a 16:9 FHD monitor. All shelves in stores were full of 1680×1050 only.

Quoting: damarrinWhy so aggressive? No one is taking your precious 16:9 screens away. I prefer 16:10 and that is that.Why do you think it's aggression? You said 16:10 is better than 16:9, I asked why and got no answer. I'm thinking about getting a new monitor and what resolution it should have, QHD, or fancy ultrawide, or something else.
Quoting: CatKiller16:10 is strictly bigger than 16:9. That's why it's written that way, rather than as 8:5. 1920×1200 has 120 more vertical pixels than 1920×1080; 2560×1600 has 160 more vertical pixels than 2560×1440; 3840×2400 has 240 more vertical pixels than 3840×2160.It depends on a point of view. I consider it not to be bigger, but on the contrary, narrower. If counting pixels, yes, 1920×1200 is more than 1920×1080, but isn't ultrawide 2560×1080 even more than both and actually can be used for benefit like displaying three pages of a document in full size instead of two?

Quoting: damarrinI disagree, it’s much better than 16:9.Better in what? In videogames you get either a truncated image, or black borders on top and bottom. All videos are 16:9 now, so black borders again. When just using an OS and applications, there isn't much significant difference between 16:9 and 16:10.

Quoting: damarrinI wish 16:10 screens would come back. :-(Why? It's the worst ratio ever. I'm glad that it died.
Quoting: damarrinthose screens should not exist.Why? The resolution is too high? Or too low? I have a laptop with an 11" screen and use no scaling at all.

Quoting: saturnoyoWhy do you need "EA Play Pro" to play "Children of Mora", "Indivisible" or "The Beast Inside"?I can't use 100% of this bundle because EA Play is not available. It would have more value if I could play Star Wars: Jedi and Battlefield 5 as well.

Sure, it's not AAA, but the games are rather good and are rated "very positive" on Steam with mostly 90+% ratings. Too much anime though. I was looking forward to play Children of Morta, Indivisible, The Beast Inside. But Humble says that EA Play Pro is not available in my country for some reason .

GOG are doing their own Black Friday sale with lots of DRM-free games

I bought Mortal Kombat 4, and there is no sound. On Steam I at least could open a new issue on Proton GitHub. On GOG it's always my fault that I've bought a game for an unsupported OS.

Steam Autumn Sale and the 2020 Steam Award Nominations are now live

I don't remember how it was in previous years, but now one game cannot be nominated in more than one category. My favourite 2020 game is Streets of Rage 4, it definitely suits for GotY, best coop, best visual style, best soundtrack and more. I haven't played much this year, and I'm not sure I can find enough new games to fill every category.
You can now try the RetroArch Playtest on Steam for Linux

Its config uses /usr in some places, and it even finds my installed cores. So, after tweaking video and controls settings, I got the same functionality as in regular RetroArch.
