I have to try this on my MSI laptop. If it can avoid the keyboard's default "Las Vegas" mode after reinstalling, I will be able to remove Windows 10 entirely :smile:

I still have the original game on my Xbox... but somehow never really got hooked by it

Quoting: Mountain ManWhat exactly qualifies as "gaming hardware"? I have a standard mouse and keyboard, both work out of the box without needing special software, and I am able to play games just fine.

I guess it is like walking shoes: sure, you can walk with any shoes, but these are made specifically for that purpose: comfortable, durable, etc.

Then, if you ask any vendor about gaming hardware, they will probably simple reply: "look, it has 16 millions configurable RGB colors !" :tongue:

I am not sure why all the complaints, it just looks like most silver-rated games played through Wine... I mean it is playable after all, right ? :tongue:

Oh, maybe I should give another look at RetroArch then :smile:

Quoting: Guest[...]

The Darkness 2 runs but has no voice audio, music and sound fx seem to work but no voices, and if you have ever played the Game you know voices are used a lot.[...]

Haha, I was exactly thinking the same when reading this :grin:
I enjoyed 1 & 2, but back then I was playing was on xbox and Windows, not Linux.

Quoting: FredrikI really doubt it, its way to buggy and slow compared to gnome atm, they where catching up, but then gnome released gnome 41 and its even faster then xfce.

Are you saying XFCE is buggy and slow? Isn't XFCE known/respected as one of the faster/lighter DEs out there? And what bugs are you referring to? Have you experienced any? Because again, XFCE is ancient and fairly stable in terms of development. I'd very surprised if there were significant bugs still affecting the experience these days. When did you last try it??

My dad wanted to put OpenSUSE with XFCE on a small laptop (it was a few month ago), but he said it was buggy and sluggish as well, so he put back the OpenSUSE KDE edition he is already using on his desktops, and everything went fine. So, there may be some configurations / hardware which cause some issue on various DE...

Quoting: furaxhornyxI also find it buggy and clunky as well

Can you be specific? What bugs did you encounter? How is it clunky?[..]

A few things I encountered while trying different distros with various versions of KDE, from the top of my head:

• Error messages on a fresh install (I think it was Kubuntu ?)


• Error messages on the first update after a fresh install (like "missing libraries" or something like this, don't remember exactly what is was)


• I will never understand the "wait for 30 more seconds" when you decide to turn your computer off, and did not find how to change this (at least easily, I admit I didn't bother much)


• I was quite confused by the Settings panel or whatever it is called


• Overall it felt "sluggish" and not as much responsive as Cinnamon (or others I tried, like xfce and mate), even in a VM without hardware acceleration for Cinnamon

Quoting: milkyEasy to see why Valve would go with KDE on something like the Deck, where it can be tweaked and kept in the background. But barring some massive changes to the landscape I'd never, ever use it on the desktop. Just far too clunky, buggy, and ugly.

Good god, when was the last time you tried it? It's not clunky any more, although editing the panel should be easier, I admit. Buggy? I've not experienced a single bug. Not sure how prevalent bugs on DEs are - can't imagine they last long after being reported. [...]

I tried to install a Manjaro KDE edition in a VM like a week ago, and I have to agree with Mily: I also find it buggy and clunky as well (like every time I gave a chance to KDE, on various distros). I quickly changed again to the Cinnamon edition, which is said to use more resources, but feel nice and slick, even in a VM without hardware acceleration.

Quoting: ghiumaGreedfall still doesn't work for me...

It works for me with Proton Experimental, however, I think I added Media Foundation workaround (back before then, a few months after the game was released), so I am not sure about a fresh install experience.
