I find it very odd they wouldn't use the native version, maybe this will come.

I've never used PA and never needed it but I do use Jack for music production. When jack2 and jack2-dbus moved to 1.9.20 I was having problems requiring I go back to 1.9.19, so I thought now's the (first) time to try Pipewire!

While it was simple to install and worked really well (I was surprised how easy a transition it was), unfortunately I was getting constant 100% DSP load in Mixbus (based on Ardour). I fiddled with the conf files but to no avail. So I'm back on Jack (fixed at 1.9.19).

I have no doubt Pipewire will get there though and I'll be switching at some point.

I spent many a happy hour on the Tomb Raiders, Deus Ex, Hitman and XCOM 2. I had no Windows partition (long gone by then) and was very excited to play them on Linux. Some of the few games I was actually happy to pay full price for. Thank you Feral.

That's an amazing bargain price. Great game and DLC.

Quoting: MinuxHowever, I guess the worst problem I've experienced is the performance, I can't get how having a good computer sometimes I have to reduce almost everything to have a smooth experience.

Could you be more specific on your performance problems?

The only performance issues I've experienced are when it does the world save and I get a second or two stutter and also, heavy snow up a mountain bombs the frame rate (and then goes back to normal when it stops). This is on my previous system (GTX 970 @1080) and my current RX 6600 (@1440) with all settings maxed on both cards.

Quoting: LiamAt first glance it looks like they're adding in a new rug, a new set of armour, those chairs look different too…there's probably a good number of things to spot if you're a regular player and you have a keen eye. Do let us know in the comments if you spot anything interesting!

I've not done everything in the game or beaten the final boss yet but the jutty out corner wall construction build pieces (excuse my carpentry ignorance!) are not something I've come across or the curvature on the top of those doors maybe.

Edit: I'd love an abominable snowman with the mountain caves update!

Great fun

I'll always welcome new content to an already great game. I like the look of that first pic.

p.s. I got my first Lox saddle today and went for a ride up a mountain, good fun!

Quoting: Anza

Quoting: fabertaweI was already using mods to silence those pesky wolves... I have two (pets) in my castle and 20 guarding the entrance! Also using a mod for tamed animals and fire as I like to see my piggies in the dark. Good to see these two things implemented as I'd rather not use mods.

Right, time to put up the Xmas decorations

Funny thing about the fire was that it didn't matter if it was behind a wall or not. I had move my pig pen a bit because of that without accidentally letting the pigs out. There were workarounds for the lights as there are few things that shine in the dark. Yellow mushrooms being easiest to acquire as long as you dare to go to the black forest.

I tried yellow mushrooms but they were only good for decoration, very little actual illumination. My pen is at the front of my castle, next to the veggie patch, so it was annoying not being able to light it up. All's good now though!

His trousers look just like mine. I do have very wobbly legs though.

[quote=Nocifer]

QuoteBut I do have one question: what if I intentionally do want to remove a "system critical" package like Xorg or my DE - how do I do it if package managers, both GUI and CLI, prevent me from doing so?

Pacman doesn't prevent you forcibly doing this. I sometimes remove a package that is a dependent/dependency of something else, then do my tinkering and install it again. Of course if I were to forget (hasn't happened yet!) to reinstall said package then that would be my fault and I'd rightly call myself an idiot But I should have that choice.
