Quoting: tuubiMatter of taste I guess. I don't mind the icon theme at all. Haven't even thought of switching away from Moka since it was introduced in Mint. IMHO it's a perfectly "sane default" as you put it.

English is not my native language, and I'm not even an Indo-European speaker, so sorry for any incorrect grammar.

Quoting: omeganebulaHowever, I can't see how overriding common application icons could be a sane default. In fact, one of the first reactions when I recommend Mint to someone, is asking if they can do something about it. Firefox is usually the one that's particularly striking, and the server-side decoration on it. Not a deal breaker, just an annoyance, because other than that, it's a great distro.

Quoting: omeganebulaI don't understand why they don't use a more neutral icon theme. The Firefox icon, for example, is completely alien to what Mozilla wants to promote. Moreover, I have yet to hear of anyone who considers Moka icons aesthetically pleasing.
While I really appreciate the efforts of the Mint team, I can't overlook this aspect, since it is the first impression for many people of the Linux desktop and first impressions are important. Obviously one can change the icon theme if a newcomer wants to and knows about the option, but sane default are always better.
Imho.

Quoting: NanobangIt broke my heart when word came down that there would be no new Steam Controllers, and since then, gaming sessions feel a little ... bittersweet, like getting coffee with a dying friend. But news that there's talk of a Steam Controller 2? That's like getting news that there's a chance I'll get a new, better friend---maybe even before my dying friend ... dies?

Yeah, that sounds wrong. So, Steam Controller v 2.0? Awesome! Replacing dying friends? Not so awesome.

So a new controller will mean that I can say that the Steam controller is awesome and not get the response, “Then why has it been discontinued?”

Much in the same way that they would say it was a failure, so they are not going to try it for themselves. Can’t wait to see what they do for Steam Controller 2.

My childhood gaming experiences were spent with a Commodore 64 joystick in my hand, and the closest I come to that in modern pc gaming was using the Steam Controller.

What sucks is my favorite controller for the Atari/Commodore is the Epyx 500xj, also known as the Konix Speedking. But my old age makes it painful to use the triggers...

Quoting: MinuxI've always been a huge fan of KDE. I've tried xfce but not much. Do you recommend it? How would you compare it to KDE?

Quoting: emphyGentle reminder that fwupd supports 8bitdo's controllers. Not sure how it would be handled on the steam deck and other systems, but in ubuntu that means you can update their firmware with a simple click, directly from the software centre.

Don't know why it lists the extensions multiple times.

Ahh nice, it is in then. Maybe its just experimental and needs variable?

enable experimental (and suboptimal) graphics pipeline library (still under active development)

Quoting: KlaasFootnote 1: I tried to play the game with a gamepad on my desktop and had a horrible time compared to turning with the mouse.

Quoting: edoWhat's new with dxvk 2? Or is it just to keep easier versioning and not because there was an huge upgrade?
