Quoting: t3gIf you are a gamer, it is still better to stick with with Ubuntu/Pop_OS or Manjaro due to the udpated kernels and work into MESA that you will miss from Debian being locked down for 2 more years. You can always go with the Testing or SID branch though. If you want that bleeding edge, may as well just do Manjaro.

I'm using it all fine with the backports repository, containing fresh kernels and Nvidia drivers. This might not work for Mesa, though?

Yes. :o)

This is the first major Debian release to support the exFAT filesystem

... in the kernel, was far as I understood the release mail. Before they used exfat-fuse.

I guess I'm going to wait for the first point release in a month before upgrading. Yeah, that might be conservative, but I don't wanna break anything and buster with backports is all fine for me. Still looking forward to see what has happened e.g. in KDE the last two years. :D

major change for save files

Anyone knows what this is about? Did they auto-adjust casing? :D

Basically just what Liam points out in the article, I think:

It's supposed to fix the Steam cloud sync feature

It's not a bug I've come across, but "losing your save" is probably quite a high priority bug to address.

I was wondering what problem that was and how they fixed it. File casing would be a possible reason that came to my mind. Or was it not working at all, for any game under Proton?

Quoting: 14I don't really understand what they're going to do with this.

Offering not only a game engine, but also the hosting when you've created an online game? Does that make sense? :-)

Quoting: EikeAFAIK the main Linux developer at Valve doesn't like Debian's package format.

If that's true, then I don't think it's worth discussing any other reasons. This one is the only one that matters :P

Would be interesting to know the details on that however since it doesn't make any sense.

Still waiting for someone to jump in and show the source...

I found this old mentioning, but not the original...

I'm under the impression that a Total War with a good AI wouldn't be a Total War anymore. :D

I wouldn't say Attentat 1942 was a very good game, but it sure was an intense experience to me, and quite educating. I'll buy the next one, too.
