Huh, first time I read it. Not at home today, will buy it later at their price, I like point&click adventures.

Will never use a distro based on a distro where a company calls the shots. LMDE is really nice, and would be my 2nd choice at the moment. I'm happy with Solus though.

The Snap issue in the article made me think. I didn't actually know Snap was that vendor locked. Was an intersting read, and I agree with the authors positions.

Paradox Interactive on Linux support, it's being done on a "case by case basis"

Can't shift facts. I appreciate the honesty and openness in that matter.

That Linux Sales decreased is probably the result of simply having more Games available. I currently don't buy unless it's a good deal, because I have so many unfinished games in my library already which will keep me busy another year. Including Games of them. I simply ain't got the time to play all games released for Linux which I'd want to play.

Quoting: tmtvlC#, huh. A shame, I'd have loved to contribute some code, but if it's C# I can't. Still looking forward to what comes out.
Why not? C# isn't that complicated. Just a development language.

Oh nice :-). And it got a proper price tag. Wish they had that option on Android too (buy it and have no micro transactions). Will buy it once I get home.

Canonical are now saying Ubuntu's 32bit is not being entirely dropped, 32bit libraries will be "frozen"

Will not help Steam Play/Wine, and it will still be an issue for Valve. They can't make Ubuntu their supported distro this way.

No idea though what I'd choose there... that's certainly a tough nut.

Sounds like something I'd like. Will keep a eye on it, but not pre-funding. Got burnt too often already :-(.

Quoting: STiATI bet WoW Classic stress test will scare the shit out of my hardware even with DXVK :-)
Actually wasn't that bad. Never made it past login :-).
