Quoting: Jarmerwhoa that's awesome! Never played these old school shooters with a stick, might be difficult. But I'll give it a go on the deck!
Last Time I played this was using a keyboard. no mouse...just good old arrow keys, CTRL and ALT and annoying accidentally hitting the Windows key. Good times. Great memories!

Any chance this update fixed the freezing issue with Wayland and KDE using NVIDIA 3070?

You and me both, brother. But I'm glad they are still around. Damn I had some serious flashbacks when I saw that Company's name. Felt like 1995 for a few minutes.

Ubuntu flavours to drop Flatpak by default and stick to Snaps

Quoting: BoldosWhat constitutes a 'flavor' in their mind? Is that Kubuntu, or is it things like Linux Mint / PopOS. Some of them still use the Ubuntu repos. This just seems like early shots to try to eliminate competition.
You might be on to something there. With Linux Mint, they have stated that the reason they maintain an LMDE variant is for testing and to ensure that Linux Mint would still survive should Ubuntu ever disappear...or in this case, try to screw them over. I'm positive Linux Mint will be okay, but other Ubuntu Derivatives..I"m not so sure about. I think if Canonical tried this, A lot of users of Ubuntu Derivatives would just run pure Debian or OpenSuse.

Snaps...Flatpacks, I'd rather use neither. Apps installed via Snaps or vice versa seem to load slower and are harder to remove from the system. For instance, I can't even uninstall Steam Snap. It fails everytime and the Software Center can't remove it either without error.
