Quoting: shadowofwardThe last time i tried gnome i couldn't even make a short cut on the desktop has this been changed?

GNOME's design choice is not having desktop icons at all, so that isn't going to change any time soon...

Instead users are encouraged to use the dash in activity view for apps and favourites/bookmarks for their files.

I love GNOME and I use it on my main machine, but I understand it can be troublesome to use for some.

Quite fortunately KDE these days is getting really polished too, and I've got to admit, I like them both a lot. If I was a new user I would have a hard time choosing between those two...

I remember back then when I was visiting the SteamDeck Reddit page regularly, there were some people that actually wanted this browser since they were coming from Windows but at the time, the installed failed to work. Now, they can finally rejoice if they're still interested in it...4 years later!

Finally... and they should add random mortar fire or random falling roofs.
The stage should be another active enemy of both sides and not just decoration.

Played through the intro on rx6600 using default (medium) settings and Proton Hotfix.
The game itself ran fine, but in the cutscene/talking part it was freezing for like one second every 15 seconds or so, and then it crashed. And it didn't even save, so I played the whole thing again except I switched from pico upscaling to fsr, it looked exactly the same, but the game was smoother I think and then cutscenes didn't crash but still had some occasional hiccups. Also I actually rebooted before the second run just in case, it seems that in rare cases long uptime with a bunch of suspends in between can hurt gaming on this system

edit: also I had mesa 26.0.2 and 6.18.13 zen kernel
edit2: and by crash I actually also mean complete freeze

I won't monetarily support there products. If they do bring there products back to PC I will buy them, until then, I will wait or watch a video of the entire thing. This has nothing to do with low sales, and the low sales are due to there ports not being the greatest, and despite what they say, it has everything to do with pushing up there console hardware sales and playstation store sales where they don't have to pay steam a cut. Honestly, I hope Steam Machine shows them the error of there ways but until that day the only power we have is to vote with our wallets.

Most platforms think I'm either 84 or 69. Later this year I'll be either 85 or 69, again. I usually put 1921 or 1956 for my birth year, in a few months I'll be putting 1957 for the year because it's none of anyone's business, and I'm not trying to impersonate a child. What a stupid law.

Quoting: HendrinMckayNo, will not touch this with a ten foot pole even though I want to play it. Now that Playstation will no longer being bringing there first person titles to PC I will no longer be purchasing the games they make or publish as a matter of principal.

So the game is out on the pc, it is utterly brilliant (finished it on the ps5) but because future ps5 games might not come to the pc your not buying it. You do understand that if enough people do this they are kind of making the point for Sony because of low sales right? Having massive sales would actually show them the error of their ways.

If you enjoyed the first one then do yourselve (not sony) a favour en enjoy this one :)

After ubuntu removes unity desktop and moved do gnome-shit-shell desktop i used kubuntu and than moved to Manjaro Linux because of stability and performance problems. Im using it for over 7 years or so. im very happy with it. Had zero issues with it. Except some old games hadnt work with wayland so i had to switch x11 for playing them time to time. i feel somethings are not going good on manjaro community and that manifesto tell alot.
Now it seems im gonna hop on Cachy OS which all of my friends already hopped in. after Manjaro splits or so.

Well, I can admit when I'm wrong – [this update post](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1536610/view/512986184073347515?l=english) from the OpenTTD team clarifies that they weren't "pressured" to make these changes by Atari, that they had discussions with Atari ahead of the rerelease, and that Atari is providing some funding support for their server infrastructure as part of the deal. I guess since I already have it on Steam it doesn't technically affect me going forward, though the release of this clarifying post suggests I wasn't the only one to get that misunderstanding from the original.

Quoting: UltraVioletI wonder if there will be a paid version for more / unlimited data? Makes sense and I’ll happily pay it.
I wonder if this feature will come to mobile as well at some point?

Mozilla had Mozilla VPN for a while

Correct they did.

Ew. I love Tokyo, it's a wonderful place to visit. Gnome, on the other hand... No.

Nice, I've this one on my wishlist for my Steam Deck. Guess I'll have to check it out during the eastern holidays :)

Quoting: JarmerIn the end it doesn't matter. Smart kids will ALWAYS find a way to get around stuff like that.

In fact, I want my kids to problem solve.

I've put in about four-hours so far with only one issue: the voice audio stopped playing about an hour in even though all other sound effects continued to play. Restarting the game fixed it, and I haven't encountered it since. I did switch to Proton Hotfix, so maybe that made the difference? I have no idea.

Split View and Tab Notes sound nifty.

Quoting: tomascTo me, this feels like yet another case of certain people manufacturing drama.

We're not talking about a developer blindly using AI to generate code they don't understand and then pushing it out to users unchecked. This is a developer who knows what he is doing, uses AI as a tool to speed things up, and reviews the output. In that context, AI isn't replacing skill, it's supporting it.

As for the broader impact of AI on us as computer enthusiasts: yes, it's significant, and not all of it is positive. Hardware shortages and rising prices are definitely frustrating. But this isn't new. We've seen the same pattern before, whether it was laptops, crypto mining, or data centers driving up demand and prices. Every major tech wave creates temporary disruption before the industry adapts.

If someone's truly concerned about environmental impact or rising costs, there are straightforward ways to respond: stop wasting energy by playing PC games on demanding hardware, buy a energy efficient notebook second hand, and only use it for what you absolutely need.

The only thing AI is seed up are the Ram, SSD, HHD and Chip prices.NVIDIA has booked all available slots in contract manufacturing just to control the chip market. Just to push their AI garbage. Prices are exploding and hardware is being hidden. Try buying RAM, SSDs, or HDDs. But go ahead and defend their AI god. AI is the downfall. https://de.euronews.com/next/2026/02/28/studie-ki-chatbots-kriegssimulationen-atombombe . But heil the AI 🤮

Quoting: wintermuteI recently stopped using regular Opera on EndeavourOS because video playback stopped working properly. Does the gaming version require the same codec workarounds?

wrong ffmpeg codec?

The split view sounds interesting. The free VPN "somewhere" sounds like a bag of *thing I can't write in a family friendly comment*. While the browser is one thing, trusting Mozilla with anything external to it hasn't been in my plans for a long while. Them saying "we're not peeking, and we're not logging anything, honest!" have as much value as the next "FreeEdgeLordzVPN" saying the same thing.

Makes me wonder . . . like, who actually chooses the "chosen one"? It always seems to be pretty vague.
(calls over barmaid)
"Matilda, could we get a couple more pints? And also, could you choose me?"
"Choose you? Told you last week I'm not interested. I think you've had enough already, dearie."

Quoting: Linux_RocksRemember when you had to pay for Opera back in the day and it was a worthy alternative? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Remember when stupid gimmicky web browsers weren't everywhere either? Pepperidge Farm also remembers.

I'm going to be so disillusioned the day I find out that Pepperidge Farms doesn't actually remember any of the stuff.

Quoting: Wolfgang RoseThese days I always checkout 'who owns' a particular software. I checked out 'Opera Norway' and noted that the company was floated on the NASDAQ, ergo it will have lots of American investors and will likely cater to US tastes and business norms. In my experience as a developer/tester/project manager, I know most US firms will make all the noises to comply with GDPR, but will often breech intentionally as 'part of business'.

To American corporations, "The Law" is just a tax on doing what they want anyway. A small tax.

A damn shame that they never brought Gran Turismo 7 or MLB: The Show to PC. MLB forced them to go multiplatform on consoles and should really force them to release it on PC too.

Thanks for this, @san, but don't you mean CPU-X?

Oops, yes indeed 😅 Corrected!
