Good! And please free Alan Wake II from your shackles EpiG so it can be available on Steam, then i'll buy from there. Won't give you epic pigs money ever.
Epic published it, so you'll be giving them money regardless.
So the contract for that is eternal, Epic getting cuts on all future purchases even, say, 5 years from now? Even further? Is that what you are saying?

If what you state is true, NO i won't be giving Epig monys. I mean, one can get this game for free as in beer anyways right now. Then supporting Remedy by buying Alan Wake III from Steam two or three times, just to get the message through, right.

Whatever the case; Epig is not going to last with this business model (and attitude) of theirs much longer. The truth is that AW2 would already have sold triple times more if no Epig exclusive. Steam has quite a volume and great sales.

Ubuntu 24.10 gets a new Snap feature to handle prompting for app permissions

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualFlatpak really needs this! It's good to see Canonical innovating with permission prompts, something sorely missing from Flatpaks.
Exactly. Snaps and flatpaks are not going anywhere, they are absolutely needed in modern computing with better safety. Fixes after fixes both get better all the time. And ones complaining for some reason can still always use the old packages, so no need for hate at all in this area :heart:

Quoting: xaviI want to use it as a computer to run a dotnet Linux application. I will buy for sure if:
  • dotnet is working there

  • screen is tactile

  • device is not slow.


SteamDeck is too much for the application.
Man, this is a gaming device for fun and the first post here is about some dotnets :huh:

Linux smashes another market share record for August 2024 on Statcounter
2 Sep 2024 at 3:16 pm UTC Likes: 5

Windows share is bloated also so that so many people are -forced- to use it. They despise the whole thing but can't do anything about to leave it permanently behind. These cases are e.g. work related.

I wonder if there's anyone in this world actually "loving" that thing called Microsoft Windows :huh:

Ps. Why is ChromeOS not included in that percentage for Linux? ChromeOS is definitely Linux. ChromeOS uses the same core components, but the desktop parts are different.

Resident Evil 2 makes a return to GOG with lots of improvements

When GOG starts properly supporting Linux as an equal to Spydows, releasing an official Galaxy client for Linux for starters, THEN i will reconsider putting some money for them.

Currently 100% goes to Steam because they embrace Linux :heart:

You're saying Kalle's shunt might have been caused by a user of Windows? :tongue:[/quote]So funny. Here's the horror Windows totally effed up [External Link]

Kalle stated "there was nothing he could do" to save this installation. Windows done for good.

Didn't catch what's the 4th location though.
Based on the traditional buildings and their history of hosting rally events, maybe Indonesia?
Sure, or Japan.

Ps. someone apparently put a larger rock in advance of Kalle Rovanpera's stint to a inner turn at Rally Finland? He was (again) driving to an overwhelming victory. No way a rock of that size would have just "jumped there" :huh:
