I had some performance problems with the demo (Nvidia 1660 super, settings maxed out). I guess it's running good for you as you don't mention anything?

Quoting: Lycurgus87What will be next? The cars?? oh wait thats already happening, and its the same problem because humans getting so entitled and stupid they don't even bother to learn how to drive properly anymore..and companies adjust cars for ppl who not willing to learn to drive.

Cars might be a good comparison: Yes, you should know how to "drive" your computer. But you shouldn't need to be able to fix its "motor". Yes, that's of course a nice thing to know, but most won't, and that's all fine.

Quoting: sulixAnd there's no evidence yet that this is a 'lazy' port of any kind

I'm glad my first impression was wrong and I take it back. Aside from that mentioned vsync performance issue, it sounds like a good performer and a good effort overall. That's a relief :)

But then, "The game may crash at launch" didn't make too optimistic...

Quoting: Lycurgus87Mate you are tiny bit condescending
(snip)
Or the other options again..the tree over there.

You're condescending, says the guy who told me to climb back to the nearest tree.
But I wasn't. I am a tiny bit now: The point went over your head. The point was, there are lots of branches of knowledge that can make claims that if you don't have them you are inferior. It is rare for the claims to be valid; claims about the arts or political economy or DIY home maintenance are no more/less valid than your claim that if I don't want to learn computers I should return to the apes. Do you get it now?

Yes there are lot of branch of knowledge and you don't need to know all but...and this is a big but, usually you don't need to know all that because you don't want to use it.

BUT if you want to use something you have to learn it.

Also you don't understand basic package management and yet somehow you qualified to say that snaps are wrong. HOW would you know exactly? Also there are plenty of google finds if you really want to know how to remove it. You know..instead of speak of "forced" snaps.

If I get a car, I want it to drive, decently, and without me needing to know how to tune the motor. And I'd still feel qualified to say e.g. that the acceleration is not as it should be.

Quoting: F.UltraProbably designed by the same geniuses that designs the self scanning check out stations that have a touch screen and then either a IR reader for a card (drivers license in this case) or VISA/Mastercard touchless reader and if you accidentally scan your card before touching the screen it locks with a "you must touch the screen to begin before you scan your card". Ok so why is the damn scanner even active before I touch the screen if this is so important and secondly why is it so important?

Right, we've got the same with our attendance recorder! (Yeah, for some weird reason, this is a thing where I'm developing software...) If you try to use the touch screen with the hand you're holding the card, card is registered first and device is confused...

Quoting: scaineI agree with all of that... but it's not really relevant here, is it? His point was that if you care, you can't turn off snaps. But as a computer user (as you put it), why would you care? Just use the computer. That's what Ubuntu is good at - getting out of the way and just working.

E.g. because your primary daily driver, the browser, starts slower?

Quoting: Lycurgus87And learn to use your system, because probably (about 99%) you are the problem, not your machine, nor the software.

Oh no no no, never say that. Take any device (a computer, a door, a hose, whatever), and if most users have trouble using it, that's definitely a design flaw of the device.

Here, see this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yY96hTb8WgI [External Link]

At work we've got, on a single walk through a single floor, doors that
* are just opened manually,
* must be opened manually, but only after you show your entrance card to some device,
* open automatically after you show your entrance card to some device, and must not be moved by the handle they've got, because otherwise, most probably, world explodes.

Please, if you constructed a door so stupidly that it must not be moved by its handle, AT LEAST DON'T GIVE IT A FU**ING HANDLE!

Quoting: CreakI must say, I'm a bit disappointed by iFixit here, it doesn't seem fair to me.

Which would be strange, they seem to be sort of a business partner with Valve here...?

Quoting: scaineb) I wondered if it was just Poettering-hate.

That was my impression as well.

And while I can't say much about this person, in general I'm of the opinion that social competence does matter, not only technical one, as open source should be about working together.

I like it how devs are taking [External Link] Verified as a badge of honour...
