(Yup, didn't think of TV gaming. 😁)

I don't know how usual that is, but I got the problem on the output side:
My company notebook, bought last year, doesn't have DP, only HDMI and USB-C.

Yeah, that's pretty much the norm with (business) laptops. Your docking station likely has DP outputs though.

It does, so yes, I'm not actually using HDMI. (Is it for beamers?!?)

Projectors and TV screens in conference rooms, in my experience.

Quoting: syylkDunno, but once you have DP or USB-C, why you'd want HDMI? Legacy? Enlighten me, LinuxHiveMind!

If you use a TV screen as your gaming display (like I do, an LG OLED), DisplayPort or USB-C is rarely an option. Most of them only include HDMI inputs, which is a shame.

There are active DP1.4/USB-C -> HDMI 2.1 adapters that support the necessary features and transfer speeds, but I have no experience with them.

PS: In my experience, if you ask any Linux community about anything at all, you'll get at least two conflicting opinions, likely more. If there's a "LinuxHiveMind", it's got dissociative identity disorder or something.

Quoting: amataiShouldn't we call it WFCE then ?

I know it's not correct but, I now pronounce Xfce (in my head) as "X Face". Later, I'll be pronoucing it "X Fowl".

The owl eats the mouse.

Xfce isn't changing its name. Only the current window manager component xfwm4 (and some session management bits) will be replaced by xfwl4.

Mice rule, owls drool! (Not really, owls are weird but cool.)

Also, to further annoy you:

Quoting: Xfce FAQ*It's not pronounced “X-Face”. There is no “a” in it.

Well, I have to admit, I'm a little confused. The video game business since its inception was built on the back of machine learning and artificial intelligence. We create our games in computers with technology.

Give yourself some credit, won't you Mr. Zelnick? You're not just "a little" confused. You're either very confused or very stupid.

How do these idiots end up leading corporations?

I remember having fun with the game when I played it back in 2018. Definitely worth the measly 3.75€ it's going for on Steam currently, if you enjoy the genre.

It's definitely not the first adventure game where you can "possess the living" as a ghost, but I don't particularly mind. Looking forward to some inventive and interesting puzzles.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the red nose epidemic. Distracting at best.

No, because the X in Xfce doesn't stand for X11. Or anything else. It's just a name that looks a lot like an acronym, for historical reasons.

Quoting: mr-victoryI forgot this guide existed lol. Option 1 (Lutris) does not work and hasn't for months unless the default Wine version is changed from Wine GE 8.26 to something newer. Other wine versions can be installed by clicking a tiny button that looks like an open box in the main page of Lutris, next to "Wine" button.

For most games you'll want to select "GE-Proton (Latest)" instead. No need to download anything manually. Lutris (UMU) will automatically download and manage the latest Proton version for you.

Lutris really needs to cut a new release at some point and make this the default.

Quoting: tpauI hope they will add more payment types soon. Independence and robustness depend on being usable without credit cards that are run by US companies

I realise the payment options might vary by region, but for me GOG offers non-US payment options like PaysafeCard and Skrill. Not endorsing either, but they do exist.

Personally I'd like to pay using SEPA bank transfers when a store is based in the Single Euro Payments Area [External Link].
