certain areas seemingly at random fail to load

Yeah, I get that as well. Also video occasionally just doesn't load and requires a refresh of the page. In an attempt to de-Google my life, I've switched fully to Firefox and it's been a MOSTLY good experience.

These problems were part of the reason I used Streamlink Twitch GUI [External Link] (with mpv/chatty) for Twitch streams, back before I stopped using Twitch completely. It wasn't perfect, but it was nicer than using the browser. Now the only streamer I watch regularly uses Owncast [External Link] and it's a much nicer experience for me than Twitch ever was.

Quoting: CyborgZetaCan someone explain root access for Dolphin? When I needed to add udev rules for Steam in my EndeavourOS install, I had to put it in a folder in root, and I had to use the terminal to move it to said folder. Does this update mean I could drag-and-drop without needed the terminal?

Yes, it would ask for a password and then let you do it.

Thanks. That's way more convenient for me. I have no problem using the terminal, but when it comes to moving files around I'm very old-fashioned.

Not that old fashioned if you prefer to use one of these newfangled graphical file manager thingamajigs. :wink:

Quoting: AnzaUnplayed games count as Windows purchases anyway.

Not if you buy them via Steam's Linux client, I'm pretty sure.

You can read more on the GOL wiki.

Quoting: syxbitThere's currently no voice acting, but will be in a future update. To me, high quality voice acting is an integral part of point and click adventure games.

Did you mean to comment on some other article? I see a "Visual novel system for new missions" in the feature list, but I don't think Naev is anything like a point and click adventure game for the most part. :huh:

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut I think 21.04 came with 5.15. Updated to 21.10, and I think it still uses 5.15.

Linux 5.15 is the current stable kernel release and it only came out on the 31st of October. 21.04 had Linux 5.11 according to distrowatch.

With this release you're getting Kernel 5.4, a packaging base of Ubuntu 20.04

That seems really weird. Most Ubuntu 20.04 users are going to be on 5.11 already because of Hardware Enablement. If you're going to go through the effort to make a new downstream release based on that, why wouldn't you pick up the newer supported kernel from upstream?

I kind of thought Mint stopped using the Ubuntu kernel some time back because Ubuntu had done something that no one agreed with (can't recall the details) so they offer the Ubuntu kernels, but install their own?

No, they're Ubuntu kernels still.

The 5.11 HWE kernels, as well as 5.13, are available in the kernel manager app. Are the HWE kernels installed by default on Ubuntu LTS?

Hmph. I was living in a 3D world before it was cool.

Don't worry, it'll inevitably go out of fashion. Then it'll be "retro" before you know it.

You were on the right track, but then took a wrong turn. ;)

The first link tells you it's also an alternative spelling of ayuh [External Link].
