Second Earth, the prototype base-building game from the developer of Broforce has a big new build up

Quoting: khalismurOh man they could have been a bit more creative :S: This looks like an unprofessional copy of Factorio. Hopefully things will improve and the game will have its own identity, as I usually enjoy this kind of play style.
It plays nothing like Factorio. Factorio is all about automation, this is a base defence game primarily like a great many other strategy games.

SCUM, a very exciting sounding open-world survival game should come to Linux

Quoting: KuJoHas anybody noticed this in Steam Forums? My own test was positive, too, as mentioned from me in the Steam-Thread:

Considering the amount of times we've seen this happen, it's usually something about EAC not being configured correctly and it can likely stop working at any time. I would wait until you hear something official before getting too excited.

Quoting: ShabbyXCan we have the old graphs back as well? Seeing the trends change over time is quite nice, and really not doable with these bar graphs.
Click the trends link, it's always been there.

Quoting: PangaeaIt looks like the percentage calculus is a bit wonky. See the below picture.



The percentage change is the same, but the amount of people is wildly different. It's the same for several other stats too, not just this one. It's just extra visible here due to so few variables.
It's correct, as it's comparing to the previous month, with the later month having less who answered.

Edit: I guess I can see why that's confusing, since I'm doing it directly against the previous percentage and not the actual percentage difference.

Update: I've now corrected that to be the actual percentage difference, not the plain change. Better?

Quoting: liamdaweI just installed KDE onto Ubuntu when I had lots of issues with GNOME. Haven't had a problem. The issue of the KDE panel freezing when doing full-screen games with NVIDIA was solved some time ago and honestly, I've been really enjoying KDE.
Did you do this just with:

sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop

? Or are there some tricks to know?
Pretty sure I did the full "kubuntu-desktop".

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLLiam, can you add new distros? For example OpenMandriva?
Do they have an SVG logo anywhere I can access and use?

Quoting: MayeulCHmm, I use sway, but that wouldn't really fit the "window manager" category, would it?
I would be a bit curious regarding Wayland vs X :)
Me too, even if I assume the number of Wayland users are quite low in the group of gamers, I would like to see this added as an option so that it can be tracked in the monthly statistics. I'm maybe one of the few Plasma Wayland users even on my gaming machine.
How would be the best way to phrase it?
