We certainly need a game based on Snail on the Slope. Roadside picnic shan't have all the love.

It seems that Google is outsourcing cost to the Linux foundation.

Quoting: CloversheenThat's a pretty cute backdrop! But isn't it a bit late to call it "autumn" in late November? :grin:

Spacing of steam sales is a bit weird this year there are two weeks between autumn and winter sales, then 2 month to spring sales, 3 more to summer sales and 6 to autumn sales.

@Liam Winter start in the UK before December ? I thought everyone in the northern hemisphere was starting winter the 21th December (where winter is applicable).

curl zoom-platform.sh | sh

That does not seem safe at all. We already have flatpack, snap and co that let dev bypass distro packaging but `curl ... | sh` feel a bit extreme.

I'm still hapy to discover a new Linux tool and platform through. Thanks Liam.

"response to the current trend of Immersive Sim design, where every ability is perfectly suited to solve a specific problem in the game".

Is it a current trend ? I thought it was a recurring issue for the genre. Deus Ex 2 is like out in 2007.

Quoting: Craggles086Does Arch include all the Arch spins/dervitives, other than manjaro?

Just surprised to see Arch with twice the user count of Ubuntu. Guess the Linux market has moved on.

It did not, but Ubuntu is counted on multiple entries due to multiple version, while Arch is only counted once due to being rolling release.

Quoting: pbPersonally I find this fascinating that China is so Windows-centric. It might be because there's no IP laws and a lot of these are pirated copies of Windows (so basically free as in beer), but still, it's an American product, I would think its use would be discouraged at the very least. I guess Red Flag Linux didn't gain as much popularity as they hoped it would. ;-)

On the other hand, Linux is an open system while Windows is fully controlled plus they might have some deal in place for backdoors and stuff, so everyone is happy (I mean the corporation and the government).

Honestly, I think it is mostly because Windows has really, REALLY good support for Chinese language + Pinyin.

Linux support of those two is absolutely abysmal - yeah, you can get something installed that "kind of works", but it will still be far, far away from the support MS offers for this.

And because that is the case, there are not many Chinese Linux users, and because of that, not much effort goes into improving the situation, and there you are, vicious cycle.

I tried learning Chinese for a while and I totally get why no Chinese person would want to touch Linux, even IF they were tech affine and not afraid of terminals.

I used to use Deepin, which is a very good Chinese Linux desktop and distribution. I stoped because I got some hanzi, French and English mixed and that was too much for me.

But I wholeheartly agree with you, Linux community should be more welcoming to Linux users. Deepin is my favorite Gnome variant so far, it's a pity I have to stop using it.
