It wasn't just the 1060 that was popular, the 2060 was also really popular with gamers (according to the Steam Survey)

I'd say it was more popular with manufacturers, seeing how many "gaming" laptops and destops were shipped with a xx60...

Quoting: BielFPsI miss Cinnamon :cry:

What prevents you from using it ? There a Community edition of Manjaro Cinnamon, I've been using it since Windows 7 end-of-support.

Quoting: oldrocker99I tried EndeavourOS, and it's too close to vanilla Arch for me (I don't like spending a long time to install packages); I prefer the so-called "bloated" Manjaro. All the benefits of Arch with the ease of Ubuntu.

That was also my experience with EndeavourOS. When I installed it, I realised all the stuff that Manjaro does right out-from-the-box, and didn't want to spend time "copying" this behaviour in EndeavourOS.

Quoting: sbolokanovLinux is an OS made for people who want power. If one doesn't want power, one shouldn't be playing with it.

This piece got me thinking... Why is Valve still supporting Linux, at this point, if it all comes to this?

Maybe Valve is still planning on doing something with their SteamOS ?

Quoting: The_Aquabatit surprises me taking into account how buggy Cyberpunk currently is. It's a bad sign that devs are getting away with buggy releases imho.

There isn't any issue that can't be circumvented by throwing truckloads of cash into marketing (this is the basis of our society) - the hype for this was absurd, there was no doubt it was going to be huge.

Yes, wasn't it Doom (2016) who got a huge patch, 1 week before the retail copies were out ?

Quoting: eldakingI'm just a bit disappointed that so many people are buying the game instead of downloading the illegal "Hacker Edition". I mean, it makes sense thematically, doesn't it?

But, but... it doesn't look so good on the shelf :wub:

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIs it weird that I can accept all kinds of bizarre stuff in games but on this one I can't get my head past "But is it an otter or a cat?!"

Or maybe a Giant Mouse ?

Quoting: furaxhornyxI know ; still, it didn't work for me :sad:

Which game is giving you problems?

From the top of my head: Micromachines v4 and Arturia Storm Electro (which is not a game, but an old music software).
Micromachines is currently installed on a pc running Vista 32 bits, which is the most recent windows version on which the game will work.

Don't worry though, it's not as if I couldn't live without those, I was just replying to:

Quoting: CybolicAt this rate, doesn't Wine actually have better general Windows compatibilities now than Win7/8 did when they came out?

:wink:

Not sure ; for me, the only (very few) games and application that were not compatible with win7 were using anti-copy software such as Starforce (which, unless I missed something, do not work under Wine either, since they rely on a special driver being installed).

Still, this does not remove Wine's merit to allow compatibility with so many games :wink:

Remember that you can use no CD patches for those cases. AFAIK, most Starforce games have one... or at least a patched disk imagen.

I know ; still, it didn't work for me :sad:
