Quoting: BrokattMan the comment section on GamingOnLinux is one of the few places in the internet were I don't regret scrolling down. Amazing that we can still be civil even if we disagree.

OT: I think Mozilla did themselves a disservice calling it "On-Device AI" features. I think few people have an issue with local machine learning features. Calling them 'AI' just associate them with something completely different in my view.

Yeah, it's definitely an underhanded way of making the AI haters look more unhinged for opposing translation and accessibility features.

Just to add another voice here...

I'm happy to see responsiveness to the community and what seems to be a measured middle ground. I've been a happy Firefox user for a long time and will continue to do so.

Syncing my browser data across devices and powerful extensions on Linux + Android, love it.

Each new day without a Steam Controller 2 is a painful eternity.

Very exciting. XFCE is THE formative Linux DE in my personal experience having run Xubuntu for a many years, and I only began using KDE then GNOME on my high end rig when Wayland became too important for gaming etc. I still use XFCE on my spare laptop. Looking forward to XFCE staying relevant.

I, for one, am an AI vegan (no AI consumed).

Forgive my ignorance, but my understanding is that unlike Manjaro, which lumps Arch updates into point releases, Endeavour is basically an Arch installer. So what constitutes a new "release"?

Things are continuing to line up for a much improved replay of Stalker 2 whenever "2.0" comes out...

Quoting: ShmerlI think it's good — looks like they made GOG private so they can pursue their own vision and not be pressured by shareholders of CDPR.

I.e. may be they can spend on Linux now more, while before shareholders could tell them not to prioritize Linux support. Just my guess. In the end, it's really up to what they want.

yeah, looking at valve and other game companies, private company is a better model for company-customer relationships. it allows for following long term strategies without being pressed by shareholders.

In my experience it really depends. Private is great but usually only when a company starts. Not speaking about GOG specifically, but in general, when a public company "goes private" the $$$ often comes from private equity firms which in turn is typically absolutely terrible for everyone - meaning both consumers AND employees, especially employees - other than the top-most leadership themselves. When you work for a public company that announces going private, it's frankly a good idea to start brushing up the resume and looking ahead to your next career move, even getting a jump on it, before you get surprised.

Anyway, at least with GOG it sounds like it's probably fine or even a good thing. Reads to me like this move is just saving GOG's existence before future changes occur; Which is great.

Yes. I'm a big fan of everything that Valve has done versus other game distributors, of course, but the weird veneration of non publicly traded companies who are probably have a lot of private investor relationships every time this comes up in gaming forums rubs me the wrong way.
