Quoting: PublicNuisance

Quoting: PublicNuisanceHopefully they fix the fullscreen issue on Linux by launch though.

Didn't meet such an issue...

From the Itch.io page:

"Dear Linux users,

Before being able to run the game, please open the config.ini file and set FULLSCREEN = no

In case you use a screen resolution which is lower than Full HD (1920x1080), please also add:

RESIZEABLE = yes

RESOLUTION = 1366x768 (please type in YOUR resolution here)"

I noticed the Steam version launched in windowed mode by default bypassing this.

Yes, it's a Visionaire Studio engine bug. Mutropolis suffers from this on Linux and so does another game I helped test recently.

You can force the game into a borderless full screen window if your window manager has that option, but exclusive full screen mode does not work.

Lovely. Just nudged it a bit higher on my wishlist(s).

Backed at the Early Bird tier. Should be well worth the price of a pizza.

Quoting: denyasisAlso for those that thought the K and G brandings weren't so bad, I have one word for you.....

Galculator

Enough said.

To be fair, the Gnome calculator is just Calculator, and Galculator is an unrelated project. But yeah, the name is silly.

Quoting: GuestI really want to switch to Wayland myself, but xfce4 doesn't (or at least didn't) support it, and I've yet to get it working with Enlightenment.

Xfce on Wayland is coming, but it'll take a while [External Link]. As usual, Xfce isn't for the impatient among us. :wink:

Quoting: RoosterTargeting Proton, which is basically just Wine, so targeting Wine, was done in the past. For example for Witcher 2, where the developer included the compatibility layer with the game for Linux.

Just a quick correction: Virtual Programming used their own wrapper called eON to port the game to Linux. Not Wine.

Looks weird and fun.

Quoting: soulsource

Quoting: ArehandoroStill a long way ahead, at least another year for proper delivery, but people willing to get off Google in their smartphones could look into the Librem 5, or PinePhone if someone isn't a heavy phone user because the performance is still under par. Real Linux smartphones are around the corner, and we all know they're the future.

Just saying: I'm posting from a Sony XPeria XA2, running Sailfish OS. If that's not "real Linux", then I don't know what else.

It is, but you had to purchase the device with Android, or from someone that installed Sailfish OS on it, and it's not supported by the vendor ;)

The OS is officially (and commercially) supported on these devices by Jolla, if only passively by Sony. We get regular OS updates with new features and fixes, and customer support is available.

Too bad about the Google tax though. A lot like the Windows tax, but much harder to avoid.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPA lower cut is good for developers and neutral for customers.

So in total, a positive thing.

I guess this could hypothetically be a bad thing for customers if it means the store owner (Valve in this case) decides to cut spending on platform development and upkeep due to smaller profit margins. Personally I'm not a big fan of Steam's business model or most of its features, but I do like their contributions to Linux as a gaming platform.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOccasionally I think I'm missing out by not owning a cell phone . . . but when I think of all this sort of issue, plus the ability to be actually alone with nobody bugging me when I'm alone, plus over the last 10 years I've probably saved at least $5000 (Cdn) not having one, which is most of a European vacation for me and my wife, well.
It's definitely good that my wife has one, but just one between the two of us seems to work fine. We're rarely both outside the house and also not together anyway.

A cell phone has been relatively cheap to own and operate here in Finland since the late nineties. We used to be ahead of the rest of the world in these things for a long while. These days not so much.

But yeah, I was the last among my friends to get a cell phone (good old Nokia 5110), and definitely the last to start using a smartphone just a few years back. And that was only because I was given an original Jolla—from a batch sent out to developers at launch, exclusive back cover and all—as a hand-me-down a few years ago. Then I got a used iPhone later (from work) which I hated, and now I'm using the first smartphone I actually had to buy myself. Don't really need one for much, as I'm never far from a computer. But it serves fine as a modem and an ebook reader I guess. :D
