Why on earth do these sites keep the ID scans?? Validate the user, save the date date and a 'yes valid' checkmark. Then delete the damn id.

that's what discord claimed it is doing, but this incident has exposed it as one fat lie.

Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?

A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

the upgrade to Kubuntu 25.10 broke half my system, how disappointing. Flatpaks uninstallable, NVenc gone, Kubuntu driver manager can't be opened any more, countless errors regarding Nvidia driver… Thankfully Timeshift was here to save me. I'll hold off with upgrading until the major issues are fixed first

Microsoft has set these up to be a guaranteed failure.

confusing branding: check.
lower tier is greedy upsell: check.
most expensive 'XboX' in history: check.
meager specs: check.

Not only this but the reception of these things from preview event was rather mixed. Lackluster performance and bugginess of the UI was criticized. Along with the fact that 16gb shared RAM and 512gb on the low-end model is not nearly enough for modern games. The Steam Deck might just get by with 16, but Windows itself is so bloated these days, it already eats 8 when doing nothing. They're effectively trying to sell you a Windows Steam Deck here for 600 bucks. How is that thing supposed to drive a 1080p display? Again we see a pattern here, no lessons from Valve were learned, neither in price, specs, or marketing. What a waste of sand.

Presumably there's no hope in hell of me getting Forza 4 to run on Linux if I didn't buy it before it's steam removal?

Unfortunately no, the MS Store version runs on proprietary junk called UWP that doesn't work on anything but Windows and Xbox consoles

Excitement intensifies:wub:Hopefully this will work in Linux, I played Forza 3 (Windows only) and 4 on Steam Deck where i have over 100 hours in.

I wanted to try it on Steam Deck to see how the performance is on the Native version. Unfortunately I can't even get it to work. The game consistently crashes mangohud to the point that SteamOS wasn't working any more, and I can't even get into the game because it doesn't register me pressing A.

Why do developers even bother with Native Linux when Proton exists and is a lot more stable ? This was a total waste of time.

Seems to work well so far. 30ish fps in the forest starter area with Quality upscaling. For some reason the game defaults to Performance taau with FSR Framegen which is strange. Nice to see a game that is well optimized and working on release day:wub:
