Quoting: lejimsterDoes anyone here run gamescope on their PC?

I do, but mainly for upscaling old games, or pillarboxing games that doesn't do aspect ratio correctly.

Quoting: DefaultX-odI wonder how will fractional scaling work with wine apps once wayland driver becomes available. Like is it going to be scaled and crisp like Qt and GTK apps?

At least at the moment it doesn't. In fact it does not scale at all.

But it's still early days. Walk before you run, etc.

Actually, I'm a filthy liar. It's there, but not enabled by default. You have to set the (string) registry key
HKCU\Software\Wine\Wayland Driver\HiDPIScaling to Compositor or Application and it works.

I see no real difference between Wayland and Xwayland here. But I'm just comparing winecfg with the default font.

Quoting: jarhead_hHow to get it? Just switched to Debian 11 with SID repo... so maybe next year?

Point releases usually go into sid within a couple of days. Major release, like this one, often spend a couple of weeks in experimental.

At least, that's been my experience in the past.

The announcement was a pleasure to read! Well written and most importantly gives full credit and kudos to not only Zink the project but to mr Blumenkrantz personally. Exactly the way you should do it. Others could learn from this!

I can't say I have a stake in this, but it's interesting to ponder that Ubuntu seems to have a habit of betting on the wrong horse, Mir and upstart, for example.

I started playing through the demo of the first game, and it's quite fun. A little bit of a mix between a visual novel and adventure game.

Quoting: Craggles086Does this make Civilization one of the longest running games franchise?

Elite predated Civilization by a few years, but Elite Dangerous bears little resemblance to the original Elite, whereas Civilization is technically the same game.

Wikipedia got a list of the longest-running video game franchises, because of course it does!

Both Civ and Elite are on it, but maybe not where you expected them to be:

I was quite tempted by these [External Link]. But sadly not included in the sale.
