Quoting: Projectile VomitI look forward to seeing this feature on my next laptop. It is nice to see companies giving Linux some love.

This isn't coming from Asus, this is users trying to reverse-engineer the hardware they've bought so that it actually works properly.

The previous maintainer of KWin, Martin Flöser, has written a blog post [External Link] about the fork, for those that are interested.

An experimental branch that tests things out before they get polished and moved upstream would be great. This, though, sounds like someone just got grumpy that their "revolutionary" Wayland ideas weren't immediately accepted by Kwin. I hope it turns into the former even though it's starting out as the latter.

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (Borderlands 2 + The Pre-Sequel and a bunch of DLC) all of which support Linux there.

I wouldn't really call it support any more. It's been a year since they broke cross-platform play. They briefly fixed it for Mac, but that's broken again and they only plan to fix that: not Linux.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI wonder when this version will be available in the ppa.

440.82 was put on the PPA today, so it was a release at the day or two end rather than the week or two end.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI wonder when this version will be available in the ppa.

The timings for when they put new versions on the PPA are essentially random. Sometimes it's a day or two, sometimes it's not for weeks. They even slipped a beta version on there once. They produced a new build of 440.64 today for some reason. As far as I can tell, they don't have a plan.

With the little one, Minecraft and No Man's Sky (Minecraft with spaceships, essentially). When the little one's in bed, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

In between protein folding, of course.

Quoting: The_Aquabatanyone knows an unsnapped version of chromium that can be downloaded from a ppa??

I use the chromium-dev PPA [External Link] anyway, since it has the accelerated video decoding patches added. There's a similarly-patched PPA for chromium-beta.

Quoting: slaapliedjeMy point was that Canonical wanted their own so started Snap, instead of working with everyone else and supporting flatpak.

You know snaps came first, right? The failed internal Ubuntu project was Ubuntu Phone. Unity, Mir and snaps were all created for that.
