Well. That explains why they don't want to support Linux. They have bigger problems to cook than supporting our platform.

My heart goes to the devs, and this is a reminder that for each good EA does (recent open sourcing) there is probably ten bad things before and ahead of it.

I actually got into the playtest for this one. I quite liked it - no mana system, you are just working with the moon layout you have and the rune layout of your cards.

Need a controller support though.

I'm astonished that PopOS is still that high despite it still being Ubuntu 22.04 based. Hopefully Cosmic will release and they can update it sometimes before 26.04.

Also, I wonder, does Bazzite Deck on my ROG Ally count as Holo, Fedora, or Bazzite on its own?

Can someone update me on the status of the WineWoW64? Haven't heard about that in a while now...

At this point I'm starting to wonder if they're trying to farm fails and negativity.

Have been getting a bit peeved at heroic lately - having no option to keep it offline and not being able to disable playtime tracking creeps me out. That's on top of the annoyance of having a shop inside the launcher.

Playtime tracking is done through the timestamp.json file.

And yeah, there are some things about Heroic that's sub-optimal for me, but it's compromises that I'm fine with given it's the most convenient client for GOG and Epic (aka the free-games-dispenser marketing-black-hole platform).

Clicked this as soon as I saw the notification from the WA channel. Those are nice updates... But a lot of those are things I'd expect to already be there even with Civ's known sub-par launches...

If I recall correctly, this is based on Bazzite or at least the Universal Blue infrastructure right? From a quick look at the website, they are Fedora-based and do use rpm-ostree but I can't confirm more than that.

The thing is, it's not like there's never an antipathy towards Valve and Steam. Even now, people do still complain about them. Heck, people were cheering Epic at first hoping it would make Valve fix things - and it did, while Epic was slow to catchup.

That last part is the issue. If you have more negatives while lacking the key positives of Steam, you're just acting as an ad for Steam.

Though, even if you do all that, you need time and to actually compete with Steam on price or other things that make people want to buy games on your platform (me, I've started to use GOG because they have some VNs there that Steam don't - despite it being way more expensive due to lacking regional pricing).

UMPC is the actual category name for Handheld PC? Huh. And ultra-mobile... I initially thought it'd mean "ultra-mini PC" but I guess that would make it ambiguous with Single Board Computers.
