Canonical planning an immutable desktop version of Ubuntu
5 Jun 2023 at 2:29 pm UTC

I don't understand the point of "immutable distro" wether it is immutable, wether it is a distro but from my point of view it can't be both.

We are going to have immutable OS partition with every program being in a kind of container, be it snap, appimage, flatpak and so forth., installed via some app store à la android. But there will still be distro with package manager and maintainers. Both have their use case. I know that I really loved package manager when I started using Linux and that's one of my favorite things of the Linux environment but I also respect other views not everyone wants to care about dependencies.

Have you picked up anything during Steam Sports Fest 2023?

Nope as I'm not into sport games. But I loved Tacticon 2023 that happened just before. Small, highly specialised festival like that are really cool.

It worked also for me with an AMD GPU. I did not choose the compatibility layer so it worked with whatever is the default proton version today.

I love it so much over Civ 5. I had trouble with civ 5 mechanism being too abstract for the 3D graphics. Unciv is just perfect. Much clearer, much more readable, much faster,...

Quoting: ArehandoroI wanted to purchase Pentiment this month, but now Solasta, Outer Worlds and Pathfinder are really calling me. Any tips/recommendations?
Solasta is very cool but the second half of the main campaign is very bas as the team ran out of money. The second campaign and user's campaign are good and the engins is gorgeous.

Pathfinder are cool games too but I think Solasta engine is just better.
Pathfinder is more power fantasy through.

I'm not so sure, I tried video in the terminal but it's not just the same:
You should use libcaca, cacafire is as realist as a real fire.

Wait, what ? Wasn't this a NCurses game on everyone's distro repos ? How can it be not available on Linux ?
