More capcom games on gog the better imo, especially when they had started randomly adding drm to some of their older titles on steam
Hope we get DMC5 on gog too, just picked up HD collection as wasn't a big fan of 4, with dmc3 being my favourite and first one I ever played :)
I know what I'm going to be playing today

I've dug out an old dp to vga adapter I had, which helped me get around the fact wayland doesnt play nice with analogue signal
I've also switched to wayland experimental on linux mint cinnamon just to see how the experience goes, and this is on my partners old uni laptop with very modest specs (dual core, i5-5200u 2.20ghz) so it will be interesting to see how bad the overhead is with xwayland
It's a shame they're ditching x11 support, for someone like myself the favourite thing about linux is bringing new life into old hw. Hw prices are going up and its important people can still make sure of older hw!
Suppose there's always things like xubuntu to fall back on, but as it stands the main debian distros run great on extremely modest hw at the moment.

Was worried this would happen :(
Really want to get one later in the year, guess I'll have to wait and see

Yeah I agree with that kurcatovium
Now you've said that makes me think they should focus on their preservation program they've recently started doing
That's far more important, making sure the games they're selling work correctly

Being seamless is definitely important, though wayland does seem pretty stable at this point?
I'm in a situation at the moment where my dad, who is in his 70s, has an old laptop
Windows 10 dropping support and tbh it runs awful on his laptop ANYWAY, when I tried linux mint on a usb drive it was night and day difference
He bought an ssd that I want to install linux on but I do worry about any issues he'll have at his age and I won't be around to help him troubleshoot
I'm going to put mint on it over ubuntu as it's alot better in terms of ease of use and stability imo

My ubuntu machine I have hooked up to a vga 1280x768 monitor but on anything other then gnome or ubuntu on xorg I get "out of range" on the monitor
Really need to figure out why that is if its going to become a problem
If anyone can elaborate for me, that the 'gnome' option on the login screen is gnome on wayland and should be fine for future OS upgrades?

Pretty cool, good way to advertise good mods that some people might not be aware of
In terms of doom 3 I'd rather stick to the dhewm3 build with native linux
Just downloaded phobos mod from moddb to try, sadly couldn't seem to get it working with dhewm3 :(
