PS: What I hate about it: All those games I'm following due to a Linux version... announcing their next game, without a Linux version.

Quoting: Liam DaweWasn't this something Valve has been frowning upon a while ago?Quoting: NezchanHoly cow, it's actually coming out? I backed that years ago, and eventually turned off their updates because they were advertising other games too much. So it had completely fallen off my radar. Wild to see it pop up again like this.Yeah, they became a publisher too. The spamming of other games across updates for unrelated games can often be quite annoying, lots of publishers do it now.
Trailer looks decent though.

My guess would be that they already are selling all units they can produce, and offering Steam Deck in some more regions hungry for it wouldn't make them more money, but longer waiting queues...

I'm really surprised to hear KDE has better Wayland support than GNOME nowadays. GNOME used to be years ahead with implementing Wayland, right?
World of Goo 2 announced for release in 2024

Quoting: sonic2kkI couldn't be more excited. Every single one of Tomorrow Corporation's games are a joy to play. If you haven't played World of Goo yet, it goes insanely cheap on Steam sales and is worth picking up. Outside of Linux is a "remaster" on Android (and perhaps iOS), but I recommend sticking to the original.Well, some of their games left me with mainly question marks, especially remembering the fireplace game for this... They've got their unique style though, that for sure.
All of Tomorrow Corporation's games are available on Steam, GOG, and on their website via Humble Bundle DRM free (link [External Link], all with native Linux support on what I believe is a custom engine based on SDL2 from watching some developer videos on YouTube.
Tomorrow Corporation are the best :wub:

Quoting: JanneI saw the title and started hyperventilating a little. World of Goo is one of my top games of all time.Hyperventilating nails it. I could hardly believe! Such memories. :heart:

Quoting: ShmerlPoint of Debian is a moot thing. A lot of people use Sid or testing for desktop purposes. You wouldn't want to use Debian stable for that purpose at all.But... I do & I'm happy with it. :)

It would probably need three more decades to get used to it, but then, having one clipboard and not two depending on which keys you used does sound reasonable!
Is the option Wayland only?

Quoting: ShmerlThere is an explicit setting for keeping those clipboards separate or not. I usually keep them separate same as X11 does:Nice!

To be honest, I expect it to be good, not bad, but somewhat ugly.
I'd bet 20 bucks on this.

Over 5% of The Pale Beyond players were on Steam Deck

Quoting: slaapliedjeI think that's with the beginning of next year. We saw some of them (not many though) on the Steam for Linux forums. Though tbh I am not sure I want people who run operating systems without security support to switch to Linux now. One of them explicitly said they don't want to do any os updates...Quoting: Salvatosi thought Steam no longer works on 7? And would anyone seriously stay on 8.x?Quoting: ObscureThe stats they show only add up to 95.43% so is it safe to say the other 4.57% were from Linux users across all the various distros?They also only show Windows 10 and 11, I would assume they have many players on earlier editions.

Quoting: WorMzyStill not sure what advantages this gives over PulseAudio, but it seems to be pretty embedded in the Arch package ecosystem (it's been present on my system as an unconfigured dependency for something else since mid-2018):It's even in Debian stable, and upgraded from PulseAudio by default, so yes, I guess it's time. :D
$ pactree -rs pipewire | wc -l
2409
$ pactree -rs pulseaudio | wc -l
105
Guess it's time to take a look and see what all the excitement is about.
