Stunning! I lost my saves recently due to switching from Kubuntu to Fedora, so I suppose it's time to start it all over again.. With shinies! :)

Meanwhile I am not into snaps, for people who simply don't care about packaging method as long as it works, this is great!

Whatever makes gaming on linux easier, and ubuntu has always been pretty easy to recommend for newbies.

I haven't actively used twitter for months. I replaced it pretty much completely with mastodon, except I have gamedev only account on twitter (i really never use except to announce something)..

And I have been much happier.

Join fediverse, it's good.

Very good games, X3 and X4 work well on linux. Especially X4 since it has native port!

I never thought I would see this happen. But here I am, playing games I like on Linux without having to worry about compatibility (too much at least).

There's still much to work on. But we are, and have been, on the right path for long time.

I am excited to see what the future holds for Linux gaming.

Now this is a blast from the past! Our WinXP computer was super slow and sluggish, it barely ran anything.. But Soldat worked well. Many hours were spent playing this game.... And modding the minigun to shoot rockets so fast it froze our PC.

Quoting: ronnoc

Quoting: akselmoMint is, well, mint! :D I just would like to see a KDE spin of it, with all the basic KDE stuff preinstalled.

There used to be Linux Mint KDE, but alas it was really designed and maintained by one main (unpaid) volunteer. IIRC, once he could no longer support Mint's KDE spin, Clem dropped it like a hot potato. Was a great KDE distro, as it used KDE-themed versions of all of Mint's artwork. I left Mint for Kubuntu at that point, and use Neon today.

Honestly, if Mint were to deploy a KDE version today, it would likely be indistinguishable from Kubuntu, as all of the tools and apps that are unique to Mint are and will ALWAYS BE GTK-based.

Oh, TIL! And makes sense I suppose. I am using Kubuntu now and I'm really happy with it, but I've always had a very soft spot in my heart for Linux Mint, it was one of my first distros among the default Ubuntu flavor.

Should try Fedora sometime. Just been super happy with Kubuntu and have had no reason to switch yet. Well, except for curiosity.
