I couldn't get the 8BitDo software to recognise the Ultimate 2C Wireless controller via USB, though. This is necessary to be able to update firmware etc. If anyone has any tips, they would be welcome

I haven't been able to make this work on Linux. Granted, I haven't tried very hard.

It's a shame 8BitDo stopped providing firmware updates via fwupd.

I haven't played any Windows games in a while, but I launched one in Lutris just to check: NTSync works fine with latest GE-Proton from UMU, as long as the kernel module is loaded.

I must be the only middle-aged gamer who has never played a Crysis game

Hey, I'm here too.

We have that on our steam tracker page.

Not quite.

I was looking for grouping at the distro level. You bundle all Ubuntu derivatives, including Mint, into one big group, even though they're distinct distributions. Might as well throw Ubuntu into Debian based while you're at it. :wink:

Just kidding. I guess your grouping makes sense, even if it bundles more than I'd like.

I know this data is collected with developers in mind, but I think grouping all release versions of a single distribution would be more interesting to gamers. So we'd only have one Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint etc. Or one for each CPU architecture, I suppose. That would make the changes and percentages more meaningful next to rolling release distros.

More information about the Firefox package in Mint here:

This has been easy to miss if you've been upgrading from an older Mint install.

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!
