Quoting: dziadulewiczI just wanted to check it out, i have no real need for this software.

Sure. You just didn't want to do it the way the dev helpfully told you to do in the instructions:

Quoting: CoolerControl GitlabThe AppImages are helpful if you want to try things out without installing anything.

An AppImage is a single file that contains the dependencies. No need to install anything. I pointed you towards the deb instructions because you were trying to install the deb.

Also "dependency hell" doesn't mean what you think it means.

Quoting: dziadulewiczSo where can i find a deb, snap or a flatpak to install this? The Gitlab page is a convoluted mess!? :dizzy:

Thanks alot! Tried to install the deb but of course it doesn't work:

It's so sad that a simple install of (also) this app has not been secured or then the package is just broken.

The UI package you're trying to install depends on the daemon package, which is why it fails if you try to install it like that. You'll find detailed install instructions in the Readme on the main page of the Gitlab repo:

https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol#debian [External Link]

Ok, i then tried to install the daemon package, but it gives the exact same dependency error message. So i can't install the dependency to start with what the UI package is dependent on.

Something is wrong, it shouldn't be like this at all installing a simple app :sad:

You'll have better luck if you just follow the instructions.

Quoting: 14This game felt and looked promising long ago. I just checked Steam reviews; doesn't sound like there is enough to do in the game to justify the cost at this point.

The driving looks fun, but I agree that the price is too high for the content currently.

Maybe it's aimed at the competitive online racing crowd? Would make sense, seeing as it's owned by iRacing now.

Quoting: Mountain ManI'm not asking for an arcade racer, but the cars in the previous demos seemed far too light with tires that didn't dig in like they should but lightly skipped across the surface instead.

You might like the fact that since the demo, they've added optional traction control, ABS, steering assist and so on.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyBig deal. Those are mature apps where I don't care about the version. Not like they're using old Libreoffice or GIMP or something.

Well, for me, the Celluloid downgrade is kind of a big deal! The patch to support multiple scripts inside of folders only landed a few months ago and hasn't hit stable yet. That means mpvacious won't work on the older version of Celluloid. And I still need to do the work for the Celluloid flatpak [External Link] to make it work.

Edit: It has hit stable now: https://github.com/celluloid-player/celluloid/releases/tag/v0.27 [External Link]

Maybe I should hurry up and do the quick patches for the Celluloid Flatpak.

Create `/etc/apt/preferences.d/celluloid.pref` with this content:
 
Package: celluloid
Pin: release n=wilma
Pin-Priority: -10

Now apt prefers the upstream Ubuntu versions for this package.

Quoting: NezchanHmm.

Afterplace on Steam: CDN $16.56

Afterplace on Itch: USD $5.94

I know the exchange rate isn't great these days, but this is a little much.

Looks like you only get the Android apk on Itch for that price. It jumps up much closer to the Steam price if you want the Linux/Windows/Mac builds.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualThe decision to fork older versions of these base desktop programs makes sense, but I don't like it. It doesn't matter much because you can still install newer versions via Flatpak.

And you can override and install the newer versions of these packages from the Ubuntu apt repositories if you really want to.

I doubt I'll bother, even if I do run file roller and gnome calculator sometimes.

This could be a lot of fun.

Quoting: Talon1024At this rate, will PC and other platforms cease to exist as gaming platforms in a few years?

How exactly do you see that happening? Nintendo hires every game developer in the whole world (as if the pool is somehow fixed and finite), and other platforms just die off because of that?

Quoting: RaulKong898Are the open source NVIDIA drivers more performant and better for gaming than the proprietary ones?

No. This article is about kernel modules, which are only a small (but fundamental) part of the driver stack.
