Quoting: Liam DaweYeah I was wondering about this as well, but I bet it has something to do with the acquisition of the developer by iRacing [External Link].Quoting: kit89DRAG is also on sale with 75% off and has native Linux support.While I adored that one when I played it, since the sale they've not really announced much of anything and it's a little worrying right now.

Quoting: WoodlandorIt's still sad when a manufacturer stops producing pickle juice powered cars.Quoting: slaapliedjeSerious Sam 4... like the only Croteam game that isn't Linux Native (yet?). Was saddened when they stopped their awesome trend...I might be in the minority, but I’m just happy it works at all.
I look at it like:
I want to run cars on pickle juice but most manufacturers only make gasoline cars.
Someone (Valve and others) made it so I can run my car on pickle juice.
I’m okay with that 🤷♂️

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe thing is, while KDE refers to the Windows (or Logo) key with "Meta", in Xfce and I think Gnome it means left Alt.Quoting: tuubiWhat's worse, is there is the 'Meta' key label that some of us call it. When people know it as the 'Windows' key, because typically it just has the Windows Logo on it. Thanks Microsoft and keyboard manufacturers for that...Quoting: 14Thanks for the sarcasm, but it was you who missed the point. Namely that if you spend a minute explaining what exactly "noobs" get wrong, some "noob" reading your reply might actually learn something, instead of feeling like they're not in the club. It rarely hurts to spell things out in a public discussion. But you just did, so I guess it's all good. :wink:Quoting: tuubiThaaaaaanks for that. I think you missed the point. The point of my comment was to say that not everyone knows to translate the "super key" they see in a Linux operating system to the one with a Windows logo.Quoting: 14You could tell them, instead of being condescending.Quoting: mr-victoryNoobs don't know what the super key is.it even has a "Super" key instead of the standard Windows logo you get on most laptops as a great little added touchThey should have used a rocket as the super key, not a text that says "super".
You're not wrong though. It was only recently that I had to explain to a friend that "super" meant the key where they'd usually have the Windows logo. Although their fancy new mechanical KB had some other symbol on the keycap instead, but that's beside the point.

Quoting: pageroundLooks nice and very cool to see more companies preinstalling a linux distro.To be fair, brands like HP and DELL have offered (business) laptops with Linux preinstalled for about a decade.
Looks like iFixit have Steam Deck parts available now (Update: it's gone)

Quoting: Guest512GB "Screen"?I have very little interest in the Deck beyond the effect it has on Linux-native gaming in the long run, but I'm pretty sure the 512GB model has a nicer screen than the cheaper ones. Anti-glare or something. So you should read that as "Screen for the 512GB model".
Vector graphics editor Inkscape 1.2 is officially out now

@Luca_Pio, you might be happy to hear that based on what I've seen so far, they seem to have made lots of nice tweaks to the Inkscape UI/UX in 1.2, including making the panels and docks more accessible and discoverable. Inkscape will never be an Illustrator clone though and personally I'm very glad that's the case.

I've used Inkscape as long as it's been around, and Sodipodi before that. It may not be perfect, but it's still my favourite vector graphics editor. 🎔

Quoting: PhiladelphusWell, I've been using it for various projects for over a decade at this point, and I'm really excited about some of these changes. They sound pretty incredible. Unfortunately Flatpak, though saying it has Inkscape-related updates, is throwing cryptic errors at the moment so I can't try it yet…Did you give the official AppImage from the Inkscape download page [External Link] a go yet? I only started it but it seems to work just fine.

Looks like the Budgie desktop is coming to Fedora Linux officially

Quoting: sudoerIsn't that just the GTK theme?Do you love the Budgie desktop environment?Nope, not a fan of its total black, hurts my eyes and looks like the monitor is burnt. Very very overrated imo.
