I guess you might be using a mobile device to view these bundles, but hovering over one of the "cards" shows you the full name of the game, and clicking on the image or the "Product details" link opens a full description with thumbnails, system requirements, a Steam store link etc. A detailed list view would make the bundle contents clearer on a glance though, that's true.

All in all - immutable distro solve the issue just fine and I could put Linux on my father machine without the worry that something would break that simple "restore previous version" wouldn't fix...

You can always do traditional backups or file system level snapshots without resorting to full-blown immutable distributions. But to each their own.

I'm vaguely aware that Hungarian and Finnish also have these lengthy blocks that function like whole sentences.

Well, kind of. A word like "lisääntymiskyvyttömyyksineensäkään" ("even with their inability to reproduce") is valid Finnish, but not exactly the sort of phrasing you'd be likely to see or hear in the wild.

Thanks for the reminder to add this to my wishlist!

True. And in the 1950s and earlier they might have talked about "the way the future was" in the 1800s, as imagined by authors like Verne. Although that particular way is still very much alive in modern steampunk.

How does one pronounce this? Uhehoooo? Ooheooo?

That's not an umlaut over the first "O", I think it's... ears or whatever the playable character has on its head. And the lowercase "o"s after it are the bombs it drags around behind it. At least that's how it seems to me.

Linux Mint is cartainly not bad though - just that it requires lots of polish (and maybe they lack resources than Ubuntu just have).

I haven't used Ubuntu in a long while, but my main reason for switching to Mint for my day-to-day needs was specifically the additional polish it provides on top of its Ubuntu base, and how little customisation it requires out of the box to suit my workflows.

I suppose what we think of as "polish" might often simply be a projection of our personal preferences. And my own preferences seem to align pretty well with those of the Mint dev team.

...CarX Street might be the first commercially-shipped Linux-native game to use Epic Online Services' Easy Anti-Cheat?

Not quite, if the GOL Anticheat page Liam linked to is to be believed. 7 Days to Die has been out for a good while with Linux native Easy Anti-Cheat. And Mini Royale is in Early Access, not sure if you count that as "commercially shipped".

I'm not sure I'd care enough to pay for this, but I might give the demo a try. I should have an old webcam somewhere. If not, I should be able to use a DSLR as a substitute.

It would be cool to see an open source implementation, seeing as there's a lot of code available for eye and face tracking already. Nothing gaming-focused though, as far as I know. Maybe a well designed library with a suitable license so that game and engine devs could integrate the functionality directly, with the reference implementation working a bit like this app, as an external provider with a configuration UI.

There are dozens of us. Dozens!
