Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhy Fedora, though?
I mean, nothing against Fedora, but wouldn't Ubuntu generally result in a better experience for users due to more widespread support of pretty much anything?
There's a ton of stuff readily available for Ubuntu (or rather, as .deb) which is not impossible to get on Fedora but you have to jump through some hoops.

But to get anything on Ubuntu you need to add a bunch of PPA's, which is less convenient than using RPM Fusion on Fedora.

Sigh it's always sad when great games suffer because Unity is so bad (double input, broken mouse support, broken sound,... and now this). Let's hope Wolfire finds a fix for it, because sound is an integral part of the experience.

Well, I'll just get my hopes up there's a P226 in the game and that careful maintenance is modelled just as well as the firing action.

Quoting: einherjar* X4: Foundations [External Link]
That is, where I sink a lot of hours into. It is really a great game. Sadly, they released it a year to early and ruined their reputation a bit.
I bought Split Vendetta also, but I don't know much about it yet. The Split ships look great and they are quite aggressiv. This alone makes the game even more interesting.
I am wondering a bit, that so few Linuxers seem to play it, as egosoft does a good Linux support and the game is great.

I've got X4, however... the required specs are absolutely bonkers, so I'm probably not going to be able to play it anywhere in the next 5-10 years.

Big change: switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed after accidentally deleting part of my home folder. Not much of importance was lost, but it was a good excuse to give my system some fresh air.

Quoting: GuestNo, i don't need glasses, before you attempt to insult someone's vision

I have a mild case of myopia and I never wear my glasses because they give me a headache, and I projected my circumstances onto you, which I shouldn't have done. I apologize for giving you cause for offence, I should have given more thought before commenting on something that is considered a personal affront.

Quoting: GuestSure, if you are playing at 800x600 you won't notice a problem, because DUH at lower resolutions the font is LARGER, DUH!

Like I said:

Quoting: tmtvlin a 800x600 window

Not in 800x600 fullscreen ratio, the font size and general UI is still set to 1920x1080 without scaling. Now, I am sitting at a distance where if I lean all the way forward and stretch out my arm, I can touch my second monitor, so I may be a fair bit closer to my monitor than you are (I wouldn't know how your setup looks, so I'm only suggesting maybe I'm not having any problems because I may be sitting too close to my monitor).

Quoting: GuestAs for your 2x scaling, well, it does not work at 1680x1050, only 1x is available, that is my freaking point.

Yes, I said that wouldn't be of help to you, but I mentioned it in case it can be overridden in the .ini, which I don't know if it can, but it could be a possibility worth considering.

Quoting: GuestFor me the biggest issue is the interface scaling. The fonts are simply too small on my resolution (1680x1050) and monitor size (22in). It is literally unplayable unless i play at a much lower resolution.

That's odd, on my second monitor (1920x1080, 22") it's very readable, even when running in a 800x600 window. Maybe you need stronger glasses? Maybe I'm sitting too close to my monitors? At 1920x1080 resolution they do allow scaling the UI to 2x, but that won't help you and I dunno if it can be overridden...

Ah, the Split have joined the fun... if I remember correctly next big release will be Terrans, followed by Boron (finally).

And so GNOME is ever inching closer to feature parity with KDE. Maybe they'll get there sometime this side of 5-digit years.
