Quoting: TuxeeIf you install 20.04 right now (and it already works reliably on my setup) you have most packages already at 3.36.

Nah, I'm gonna wait for the "official" release, because I'm moving three computers back to Ubuntu from Linux Mint under a "clean" install...

Quoting: Luke_NukemIf you install a 20.04 Ubuntu ISO right now, you'll have 3.35.91 or higher (beta release) with 3.36 due in the next week or so. I have 20.04 installed right now, and wow, it's a game changer.

So it looks like we might get GNOME 3.36+ in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa")... Nice!

It's too late to put this in the upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa"), right?

Do you reckon they'll provide an update to this version of GNOME in the near future, for users of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa")? Some of that new functionality looks mighty handy...

Nice to know... And good to see that the developers - yourself - are actively participating in the gaming community.

Thanks!

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe problem is that budget headsets (especially the crappy phone ones) give VR a terrible reputation.

I disagree - I have PlayStation VR and for a "cheap" virtual reality headset, it's pretty good (yes I have compared it to the HTC Vive Pro - I work in a family entertainment center and we use them in a commercial context).

In all honesty, the only problem with my PlayStation VR is that the resolution is "just" 1080p and unlike the Vive Pros, I find that I get motion sickness / headaches pretty easily, which by my understanding, is mostly due to the refresh rate of the headset... That's a very minor point to address in a future product.

Okay, PlayStation VR is designed to run only on Sony "PlayStation 4" products - but it's still a virtual reality headset competing for the same space, so I guess it's a step in the right direction...

I'm actually surprised no one has managed to get PlayStation VR working under Linux-based operating systems yet - aside from the fact that the "PlayStation 4" products run a FreeBSD-based operating system (which in many ways is very similar to other "'nix" based operating systems), it actually uses "standard" connections (USB and HDMI).

Interesting side note, PlayStation VR works as a giant screen - without the "virtual reality" part - under Linux-based operating systems "out-of-the-box" (like every good geek, this was the first thing I tried when I bought my PlayStation VR)!

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyHopefully this comes to GOG.com. because I like the look of it and would buy it if I could get it on GOG.com...

Why GOG? Itch.io has everything you probably need (DRM-free, client, "Early Access" access).

Does Itch.io have DRM-free content too? Might have to take a look then...

Quoting: The_Aquabathandy here means other thing, in english speaking countries is called radio handheld.

Uh, no.

In Australia, we usually call them "CB radios", though they are sometimes called "handheld radios" or just "radios"...

Quoting: Liam DaweHandy in the UK means convenient or useful.

Same in Australia.

Quoting: RickAndTired"early stage" he says, yet Proton already allows me to play so many great games effortlessly. I can't wait to see where it keeps going.

Any idea when they're going to update the "white list"?

protondb has a pretty long list of my games with a "Gold+" or "Platinum" rating, yet the "white list" for Proton hasn't been updated in quite a while...

Since the very beginning I used Ubuntu, then Canonical decided to abandon the brilliant Unity desktop environment (not to mention everything else, too!), which I absolutely loved.

I stuck with GNOME for a little bit, but the more I used it, the more I hated it for more reasons than I care to list... So I took Linux Mint for a spin, with Cinnamon.

To be honest, I'm still not sold on the Microsoft Windows-style menu that Linux Mint uses (I haven't used a Microsoft Windows-based operating system outside of occasional use in the workplace in years!), but I like it slightly better than GNOME and for the most part, Linux Mint works pretty good. It looks good too, though I might be a little bias because green is one of my favorite colors.

As others have said, Linux Mint is not perfect, but it's great for beginners and the lazy alike... It's almost like the Linux equivalent of Apple macOS - because it "just works".
