Well, I just bought a 6750XT… I wanted a 6700XT for months (but it was always going out of stock while I waited in the queue) ^^’

Quoting: scaineThat's a great turnaround from a few years ago, when the threatened removal of 32-bit libraries would have crippled the O/S from a gaming perspective.

A better gaming experience in what is still an incredibly popular "entry" distro is superb news.

When was it? Even Arch, who was one of the first distro to drop 32-bits support, still have 32-bits libraries (but in a repository that have to be activated explicitly), and is really good for gaming (well, even Valve is using it for SteamOS…).

Not only would I like to see Dvorak (or others like Bépo for French, or even better, fully customizable), but also that the keys are orthogonal. Not that it's essential on a touch keyboard, but just for the sake of habits.

I think that’s easy to do in desktop mode, since you already have the tools to do that for Linux, but if it can be integrated in Steam…

Quoting: TrainDocShh I really wouldn't support these devs.
A primary dev went on an absolutely insane rant about """"cancel culture"""" last year in June. I'd let valve have they're cut bare minimum.

I think that you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I support Wube for developing Factorio and maintaining it, not for the questionable ideas of its members. By the way, I don't agree with the opinions that caused the shitstorm, but I do agree with some of the arguments that came up afterwards.

I'm certainly not here to rehash the debate, and today here's the good points I take away from Wube:
- it's an independent studio funded primarily by gamers
- they allow you to buy the game without DRM outside of any platform, and the authentication management is done by them, not a third party (but there is Steam integration, it's just optional, and it's extremely well managed. You can even play in multiplayer without any auth server, so even if Wube servers are down, you can still play with your friends).
- buying the game on Steam allows you to get the game from the site and vice versa without any extra cost
- the game is optimized like no other game does nowadays, or almost. It literally runs on a potato. They pay a lot of attention to the feedback from the community, and are very attentive to the gameplay, with very thorough testing (mainly by the requirement of the main devs when they play it themselves).

Moreover, even this "scandal" calmed down quite quickly, and did not have more impact than that, they (them and the community), succeeded to limit the damage, compared to many others.

So, honestly, even if you can blame one of the main devs for some flawed ideas (on subjects that have nothing to do with the company and the game on top of that), I would like to see the above points much more widespread among other studios. And for that alone, I find it worth to support them.

…without mentioning that the game is absolutely great and that I’ve spend hundreds of hours on it. Or that I don’t think that Wube have to be the main target in all the bad companies in the gaming world.

You can also buy the game on their own website, and I think it’s worth mentioning it.

Maybe you can have something like an overlayfs (you do modification on another partition). If you have any problem, just remove anything from the second partition.

But, yeah, ChimeraOS and every other console is working this way, that’s not really surprising. If you want a plain Arch Linux, then install it.

And it’ll be a lot easier for Valve to maintain it, and for non-tech users (and for Valve to support them).

Here's mine, Glaz version. I wanted to add some black and white, but it was not convincing, so I just used a darker variant for the grips, pads and joysticks.

Quoting: orochi_kyoI need a new FULL AMD PC now.

This is what I have been saying for years. And my current one is a full AMD PC :D

I bet everything on AMD + Linux (+ Valve) for the future since the open-sourcing of the Radeon driver for Linux (I was already on Linux on an AMD GPU at this time. I always had AMD GPU, but with Intel CPUs before Ryzen, though). And Valve hadn't even released Steam Play yet.

Quoting: EikeSpeaking of the Library manager, when I go into the directory I always find myself surprised how many games leave some stuff there that I actually uninstalled (I'm not keeping games around which I don't play)...

Are you sure that’s not the saves and users settings? Keeping saves and others user-related stuff, so I can continue if I reinstall the game is expected for me (and, for any user that can’t keep all their games always installed because of disk space, and have to rotate between them).
