Yep, that explanation is good. Non-redirected would probably be clearer, but unredirected is the terminology we're stuck with. I think I first saw it in Compiz, so 2006 or so.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyNo - before any "Social Justice Warriors" put their 5¢ in

Don't do that.

The existence of "Social Justice Warriors" is an entirely made-up bogeyman from terrible people hoping to dupe others into not calling out their terrible behaviour. Anyone actually using the term is either one of those terrible people or someone that they've duped. Don't be either.

Quoting: eldakingBeing a gamer is not about playing games.

That's exactly what it's about.

Toxic people on the Internet latched onto "gamer" to describe themselves because "troll" and "incel" had negative connotations, and they thought that they'd be able to shield themselves from criticism by claiming to be part of a larger, better group. I'd prefer to think they were wrong in that assessment.

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.

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.
