System76 has launched Pop!_OS 21.04 with the new COSMIC desktop

Quoting: EagleDelta
Quoting: sourpuzHmmmm. I like PopOS a lot but I'm not sure about this. Another desktop, especially another Gnome derivative/fork? I kinda think they should focus on other aspects of the Linux user experience, there's enough variety when it comes to desktops. Ah well, I know I'll give it a try sooner or later.
It's not a derivative or fork. Unlike most other alternatives DE's, this is just a pair of GNOME extensions that sit on top of GNOME Shell and can be disabled if you don't like them.

They actually put out a blog post explaining their decisions (based on feedback and polling of their users): https://blog.system76.com/post/655369419513544704/how-we-arrived-at-the-popos-cosmic-design [External Link]

EDIT: Post the correct link

Interesting! Thanks for linking and explaining, I think I'll take a closer look, as I've had good times with PopOS.

Grab a coffee for the Sunday Section and tell us what you've been playing

Have to run Windows on a separate machine at the moment, I have to use Teams for work and the Web- and Linuxclients lag behind in functionality. So I'm making the best of it by playing some Windowsgames. Far Cry 5 and Victor Vran (which is wonky on Linux) mostly.

Upcoming cyberpunk point and click Invasive Recall has an awesome vibe to it

Ouch, there's more than one grammar mistake in this trailer. If even a non-native speaker like me picks up on that, it doesn't bode well ... I hope they can iron it out, because I really like the graphics, animation and the voice-acting ain't bad either.

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 3: Installing Red Hat Linux 9

Ah, I love this series. It combines old-school computing and Linux, two of my favourite things. My first Linux-Desktop was an old Pentium-120 I bought off eBay.

Enjoy the classic Unreal Tournament on modern platforms with OldUnreal - new update out
25 Sep 2020 at 7:42 pm UTC

Quoting: Faalhaas
Quoting: sourpuzI'm a bit confused on how to install this :unsure:
1. Download the right file from the OldUnreal releases [External Link].
2. Extract into a folder, e.g. "OldUnreal".
3. Get your original UT copy (assuming you already own it).
4. Copy the folders "Maps", "Textures", "Sounds" and "Music" to "OldUnreal".
5. Run ut-bin from "System".

Ah, thank you, I somehow overlooked the "releases"-link on the GitHub page!
