Quoting: MohandevirWhat could tip the balance, for me, being a Canadian/Habs hockey fan... EA Sports NHL... That's the only reason I could consider keeping an active account on Stadia and sports ips are lacking a lot on PC, in general and even more on Steam.

A fellow Canuck, eh? I lived in Montreal for just a few years when I was a kid--it would have been 1970-77 or so. The Canadiens were winning and winning, it was a great time to be a Montrealais. Now I live in Vancouver, and the Canucks lose and lose. Or sometimes they do really well but crap out at the last minute. I've kinda given up.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySounds very good. I'd probably try it if there was a Mate version.

Interesting. I'll think on it . . . I've gotten the impression that for most distros, when they don't officially support a DE but the community spins it up, it tends to be a bit . . . rough around the edges. I tend to err more on the side of stability and ease than bleeding edge.

Quoting: Xaero_VincentManjaro is a great choice for people wanting a bit more polish

What if they want a bit more Danish?

Fixed several synchronization bugs that could momentarily lock up the X server when moving/resizing/focusing OpenGL and Vulkan windows when PRIME Sync is enabled [Linux]

Mmmm... Could probably solve an issue with a GTX laptop that I'm testing, atm... When I try to raise the sound, while playing a game, the whole display freezes for about ten seconds, before resuming (if it resumes).

I had that with xfce on manjaro when I used a bluetooth headset.

Oh, that was just Harald's Revenge.

I needed the reference to appreciate it:

"Bluetooth is a wireless technology named after Harald Bluetooth, based on an analogy that Bluetooth technology would unite devices the way Harald Bluetooth united the tribes of Denmark into a single kingdom."

I'm among the few who had heard of the viking king decades before I heard of the technology. He was a character in a great book I read as a kid, "The Long Ships" by Frans Bengtsson. Totally fun historical fiction about vikings.

Quoting: robvvCertainly not condoning the leakage, but maybe studying the code will aid those students wishing to become coders in the future.

Studying code is one of the most useless things a student can do in order to become a coder.

WRITING code is what matters. It doesn't have to be perfect. But you do have to use your own brain matter. You can keep studying code others wrote all day, it won't make you better because you can only become a real developer by actually writing your own code. In that way the knowledge of why code has to be written in such and such a manner
will become your property. You will develop your own style and will understand why a problem has to be solved in a certain way. It is the procedure that matters, not the end result.

Source: i am a developer.

While I get your point, it seems to me that taken too far that approach could lead to a lot of NIH syndrome and (poor) wheel reinvention.

So, that's close to as many Proton Platinums as native games. Of course there's some overlap, but still, that's significant.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI love Manjaro but not enough to use Gnome ;)

Gnome :sick:

Why do you attack against Gnome with such passion? So many new Linux users love it, and in my experience it is the best Linux desktop for tablet.

This Gnome-bashing does no service to Linux in all and should just stop :O

But it is cool to bash on Gnome, all the kids are doing it :D ... or so I think the people who bash Gnome think. Personaly I used xfce, budgie, unity, I still like Gnome better

You think mistakenly. I speak ill of Gnome sometimes because I don't like the Gnome UI (and because I did like the Gnome 2 UI and was annoyed when the Gnome people took it away from me). I like an old fashioned UI along the lines of Gnome 2 plus incremental improvements; that's why I use Mate and my fallback would be Cinnamon (which are not on your list of things you've tried--maybe you'd like them).
Your mileage may vary, but assuming everyone whose taste differs from yours is just pretending or something is mistaken and wrongheaded.

People are talking about pyg object . . . so does this have something to do with bacon, or what?
