Quoting: MalWhat is the adoption in the USA alone?

Nobody knows, but Liam's tracker has got the English only graph for a guess (nice increase lately!):



Liam, I'm still not sure how you're calculating it, despite reading the description. Which numbers do you use?

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: slaapliedjeI pretty much insist on HP printers, or Network printers that support PCL5 or 6. Basically everything supports those, I have even been able to print from my Amiga onto my Office Jet.

That's what I wanted to do last time I needed a new printer... until I found out that I don't need a driver anymore for standard printing. So I chose just by printer quality, not by driver support. I don't know if I'm missing anything by not using PCL, and it probably won't work with an Amiga, but I'm happy with my new one. :)

Quoting: thoughtfulhippoActually had the survey pop-up for the first time on my daughter's account last night. That's only the third time I recall getting asked across 4 accounts and 7 years.

The survey is such a mystery!

That's ok in my book. How often are you asked which party you'd be voting for...?
(It seems the result is always taken on the first of a month, that's also the only time I had it.)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI know there are people for whom "will make you curse at the screen" would be a selling point. Trying to figure out if I'm one of them. Leaning towards not.

It makes a difference if it's due to being a bad game or due to being a harsh story... :D

Quoting: damarrinIt certainly needs work. The little steam window says "Play Primordia" and "Play Windowed". If I choose the former, there's no sound and the game crashes to the desktop when I click start game. The latter option works ok, but the game runs in a window. Alt-Enter fixes that.

I'm still not sure if I'm running the native version or not.

They had the "problem" that the game was among the Proton white listed games. They made Valve fix this now. The other problems also seem to be gone for me.

This [External Link] needs to be quoted:

I can include Mark Yohalem (our writer) and Victor Pflug (our artist) and Nathaniel Chambers (music) and everyone at Wadjet Eye Games and everyone that is a part of this game, that we're doing this because you guys support us back.

I grabbed the game and it seems the port is not quite there. Got problems with mouse movement and stuff. But I'll happily wait for fixes (like they did for Strangeland for Linux problems), and/or, as an exception to my rules, play with Proton (whichever comes first ;) ).

Quoting: GalaedriaMy first experience with Linux was in the 1990s - I was a teenager (started a GW-Basic programming club at my all-girl high school) and I loved the idea of freely sharing code and working together to improve technology; my Dad had a client whose son was studying IT who got me a copy of either Red Hat or Fedora.

Fedora didn't yet exist back then.

Quoting: GalaedriaIt came on 16 CDROMs and it took me something like 8 hours to install all of them (had to stop and start several times because of missing dependencies on another CDROM that hadn't been installed yet) and when I finally got to boot up into Linux for my first time, it didn't recognise my keyboard! Had to reinstall Windows so I could use my computer. :sad: It took 20 years of trying various distributions that either didn't work for me or weren't very user-friendly but I finally became a full-time Linux user (including for gaming) about 5 years ago when I tried Linux Mint and I still love the Linux philosophy and I'm trying to convince my friends and family to give it a go.

Somebody said lately in the GoL comments: It's hard to convince them with words; it's easier to show them, here, take a look, it's easy, it has got all you need...
Did that with my mother-in-law. It worked very well until she got a 88 bucks printer which I couldn't get to work from remote. (If I only had known that printers work easily nowadays on Linux via that WiFi stuff I keep forgetting the name of...!)
