TUXEDO launch their smallest Linux gaming notebook with the Book XP14

Better in what? In videogames you get either a truncated image, or black borders on top and bottom. All videos are 16:9 now, so black borders again. When just using an OS and applications, there isn't much significant difference between 16:9 and 16:10.
Why so aggressive? No one is taking your precious 16:9 screens away. I prefer 16:10 and that is that.

Dells have 16:10 screens.
That is nice. I was talking about Linux only hardware vendors, however. All these 13, 14, 15 inch laptops they sell have 1080p screens.

Care to elaborate? I have a 13.3" display with full HD resolution. Works perfectly ok.
Oh, I’m sure it works ok. What else should I elaborate on? Stuff is too small, that all there is to it.

Why? It's the worst ratio ever. I'm glad that it died.

Why? The resolution is too high? Or too low? I have a laptop with an 11" screen and use no scaling at all.
Too high and too low all at the same time. Boggles the mind, I know.

I’m sitting in front of a 15” 1080p screen right now and it’s just about passable, but going lower makes the system unusable.

Can't say, I use Dualshock 4s over bluetooth all the time and I don't have any problems.

I think CDP may have been neutral towards Linux before the Witcher 2 fiasco, but I think they’re hostile now.

CDP only made the Stadia version because Google paid them to do that. It's my opinion ofc, but it's clear as day that's the case.

Begging anyone to release anything on Linux, especially a Linux-hostile company such as CDP, is completely counter productive. They (we?) now have Proton which will support Cyberpunk sooner or later and they'll gladly take our money. Most likely, they won't even notice that money swamped with all the actual Windows customers as they will be.

We need market share. That's the only thing that matters.

505 Games confirm that Indivisible is finished due to Lab Zero Games imploding

Any skins I got in the game were simple color swaps, nothing really worth thinking about. Even if there are some better ones somewhere it’s all just superficial fluff.

That was my impression as well. The only problem if it's not updated at all is it's going to stop working sooner or later.
