Quoting: Creak@liamdawe I'm sorry to hear that you've went KDE, but especially because you had troubles with GNOME... But reading your post, I'm not sure if you were using a regular Ubuntu or an Ubuntu GNOME spin, since you're talking about the mixes between "normal" and "GNOME’s new styling" title-bars. If you were running vanilla GNOME, you shouldn't have this kind of problem, all the applications look and feel are the same (at least on Fedora). So, could you clarify that please?This was on standard Ubuntu Unity.

Quoting: LinasIt's not very easy to find the bookmark list, if you don't know where it is. Could you make it available directly from the top bar, instead of going trough the control panel? Maybe a bookmark icon next to the envelope (notification) icon?I've added a link to the Bookmarks directly into the user menu :)
Edit: Clarified what I actually meant.

Okay, the article bookmark system now uses the same icon system as comments, I agree it works much better :)

You're right that it makes much more sense to do so.

Quoting: chtkI love these additions.Oh yes, great feedback and I fully agree. I will adjust it so that it sits next to the like icon.
One pet peeve, though. I think it's a bad idea to -- visually at least -- create two ways of bookmarking things.
Bookmarking of comments using the icon is fine. The "Bookmark" link to bookmark icons feels wrong somehow. What if you were to move this next to the article "like"-icon? And then use comment bookmark icon for articles as well.
You're right that it makes much more sense to do so.

As for VSYNC, no, since you pick the desktop environment at install it's up to you to enable little bits like that for whatever DE you pick.

Quoting: MegazellI have questions for Antergos users:GOG games install like any other distribution, as they use their own installer based on Mojo Setup [External Link].
* How are installs from GOG library?
* Is Vsync automatically dealt with like on Ubuntu Mate?

For now, personally, I will still recommend Ubuntu for people to start with, especially as it's the distro that gets the main support for gaming.

Quoting: GuestWould it be a good option for people new to Linux?I'm torn on it, it depends on how good their general PC skills are. The installer isn't quite as straightforward.

Article updated as I came across a second "gotchya".
I booted up to a black screen with a cursor, as the system booted so fast that LightDM didn't load (Arch Wiki entry [External Link]). I had to edit "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" to include:
Running "sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service" fixed it for the current login.
Something to keep in mind if you have the issue, thanks to Samsai for the help on it.

Quoting: KithopI'll tackle this one probably later tonight or this week, too - I'm curious to see if the whole 'multiple presets' functionality is still there (i.e. what if I want to play an old version of MC?Yes, I added a second screenshot to the article just now to clear that up. This is still perfectly possible.
