Xfce 4.20 desktop released with experimental Wayland support
16 Dec 2024 at 1:00 pm UTC

It was my desktop of choice for several years, but lack of wayland support made me drop it in favour of kde (shortly, bad experience) and eventually Hyprland. Not going back, sorry.

Quoting: CaldathrasI had hoped that Microsoft buying them might signal a change in direction to Blizzard's attitude

I had never imagined a timeline where Microsoft was the least evil of all the evil companies. :tongue:

I've been waiting forever to get them at a good discount. Seems that I won't have to wait any more, one less thing to worry about. :tongue:

Steam getting proper Season Pass support with clearer guidelines and refunds for cancellations
21 Nov 2024 at 3:28 pm UTC

Quoting: CalebQ42
Quoting: pbThe idea is good but some of it doesn't seem enforceable, I'm sure they will be adjusting these requirements.
What isn't enforceable? The only things they're enforcing is release date and promised content, both of which are very easily enforceable.

If you say so. We'll see.

GOG launch their Preservation Program to make games live forever with a hundred classics being 're-released'
13 Nov 2024 at 3:12 pm UTC

Kinda moot, of course they need to keep the games in playable state if they want to sell them. But a net positive nevertheless.

New Steam Beta has more Game Recording improvements and a Linux fix
12 Nov 2024 at 9:34 pm UTC

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: pbThe files are there but I have no idea how to open and manage them, they don't seem to be in a proper media format. Any suggestions?
I haven't tried Game Recording with Steam yet, so does it show you/can you find the location of the files on your system and try playing them with, say, VLC?

Each recording has its own directory with a lot of files in it, most of them .m4s.
mpv/vlc are capable of playing the first few seconds when pointed to session.mpd file (which doesn't work either in the case I described) but afaik the whole recording can only be played via Steam client (it can be exported, in whole or in part, to .mp4 from there). At least I haven't found another way to open these files. :-/
