It's interesting to see the superposition of the slow growth of the Linux Desktop marketshare (1% at Steam Deck release, now 1.2 -1.3%) and the more rapid growth of steam deck (roughly half of Linux marketshare on steam).

Quoting: ssj17vegetaAs a long-standing (K)Ubuntu user for the last 15 years, I was wondering, is Manjaro the "rolling release distro with the power of Arch minus the hassle of reading tons of documentation" or not ?

No. Manjaro is rotten garbage, avoid at all costs.
If you want Arch, use Arch.

Complete and utter bullshit !

I would have agreed with you a few year ago, as time passes I'm more and more agreeing with dpanter.
Arch had some improvement that made Manjaro less and less relevant. (I consider using EOS like using Arch as the difference is tiny).

Belgian actually.

No idea about the state of arousal in that country.

Their national dishes is Mussel & Chips. The country is stuck between Netherland (Amsterdam Red light district) and France (self-explanatory). I would say, quite horny :wub:.

Quoting: GuestAlso, I don't want to start a flame war, but isn't Manjaro a bad operating system? I heard multiple Linux people say that it's not good.

I have used Manjaro for years and it was awesome but they tends to have problem with stupid things* so it ended being more trouble than just using Arch directly or Endeavour which is like Manjaro but better. When Endeavour team do a mistake, their apologize on the front page on their website and the mistake is not repeated. I got fed up about things breaking regularly due to Manjaro mismanagement with the solution being shared on the forum by the community.

* For example, they forgot multiple time to renew their SSL which broke package installation and the 2-weeks release cycle ends up being more of a liability than a boon. Apparently they messed up other project on pine too but I'm not sure about that one.

Quoting: bidinouAccording to him, MT is now only 3 persons ? It sounds as if MT had been idle while EE was doing all the job. Strange. Sure, EE did a great job, but the core game we all know and love is the work from MT.

From Deepnigth actually, it was a solo project that eventually gets worked by other MT members. Most of the devs at MT that have worked on Dead Cell has gone to other studio (Shiro Games come to mind). Evil Empire was founded by the marketing department of MT (thus the name) and is the only studio working on Dead Cell for a few years.
Deepnigth has also made the excellent Hamerfest, which was remade by Eternaltwin Eternalfest [External Link].
MT has made so many excellent games (and the Haxe programming language). I miss games like Hordre (40 people have to collaborate over weeks in order to survive a zombie invasion) or Skywar (STR with games going for a few days, click per second is very low ^^) that were social experiments as much as game.

As a side note, by reading Deepnigth blog post, I remembered that I am a lead dev at EternalTwin (not the harder working one through :sad: ). I should stop slacking now that the source code has been released, seems that I'm going to install Haxe tonigth.

Quoting: seamooseI half expected the dev to be based either in the UK or Argentina, but instead they're based in Norway...

The name of the game is Molvinas in South America :tongue:

That's very impressive. They can open image file, a thing that Windows 11 can't do natively :whistle:.

Quoting: tonitchI wonder what thos spikes down in may are ?

They are usually caused by sudden rise in Chinese steam on Windows usage. A phenomenon not well understood but which tends to occur every few month.

Quoting: pete910Why do people take any notice the steam survey ?

Because it's all we've got?
Conjure me some more accurate, comprehensive, and transparent information and I'll pay attention to that instead.

But why take any notice of inherently flawed data whether its all we've got or not ?

Science works that way, if it's good enough for science, it should be good enough. (Yes, I'm doing experimental not theoretical research :happy:)
