As a long time Mint user, I dunno what I'm looking forward to. I'm sure there will be some nice things, but I'm already fine with my current version. I'll just be kind of vaguely glad that various things are a bit more up to date, but the Mint desktop is mature enough that for me it's not really about specific pain points. Heck, I only just updated to 19.3, and the only difference I've really paid attention to so far is I notice LibreOffice is looking a bit slicker.

I'm not much for visual novels as a rule, but I really like the style of this.

It appears you get to slaughter squads and squads of vicious cellphones. Tempting.

That's hilarious. They should leave that as an option in the actual game.

I'd be happy if one of you guys could elaborate on just what this is and isn't because I have little knowledge of the intricacies.

Quoting: CatKiller16:10 means that my next laptop when it's time to upgrade will be a Dell. I hope other manufacturers can move away from 16:9 as well.

I agree that I'm done with 16:9 on laptops. I've had two 3:2 screen laptops, previously a 2015 Pixel Chromebook and currently a Huawei Matebook X Pro, and I seriously can never go back to 16:9 after these experiences. Using a 16:9 feels like squinting now. 3:2 is soooo much better for text productivity on the laptop form, especially for my workflow.

There were suggestions about 2 years ago that Lenovo was going to start doing 3:2 screens, and I don't know what happened to that. An X1 Carbon with a 3:2 screen and Linux would be perfection for me...

I actually wish I had a screen for my desktop that I could flip sideways (ie upright) and have the picture follow like on a phone.

There actually are monitors that do this [External Link], no?

Oh, sweet. I kind of thought there were, but then last time I went looking to buy a monitor I couldn't find any--not locally, at least.

So it's made by Caligari Games and early on the guy is trying to get the key to a Cabinet from a guy who looks vaguely like some sort of Doctor. Cute.

I've noticed that when it comes to computer things where there are different options, it doesn't matter what it is, the general consensus can be that A is smoother and less buggy than B, but there will always be a couple of people whose experience is the opposite. It's like the way no matter how awesome the restaurant is, there will always be those couple of one-star reviews from people who apparently went to the Twilight Zone version.

See, this is why indie games are great. Can anyone imagine Blizzard coming up with this?
