Quoting: Hopfenmeister

Quoting: NanobangI'm going to wishlist the Steam version and purchase it further on down the line as a way to support the app financially.

Why not send them money via their official Donation page? That way you can support Krita without Valve taking a cut. I figure being present on Steam is mostly meant for people who have never heard of Krita before (or are stuck on an inferior operating system).

Excellent suggestion!

When Ubuntu was mewling about removing everything 32bit from their world, I installed Manjaro (XFCE) on my laptop. It's an Optimus lappy and I just run it in blast furnace, Nvidia only, mode. Attempting to set the Nvidia driver, I borked my install by choosing the Nvidia-only option. Oops. As I reinstalled Ubuntu Mate, I wondered why, if Manjaro could determine that I had an Optimus setup, would the DE offer me an option that would bork my OS? Rather than get an answer, I decided I wasn't ready for the thing.

A couple years back I ran Manjaro Gnome on my desktop and I wondered about the infrequency of security updates. They seemed far less frequent than I was used to getting on Ubuntu. Before I got around to looking into it, I borked my rig and the point was moot.

Apropos of nothing, I cannot break myself of the habit of pronouncing it "Man-haro", as if it were a Spanish word. XD

I've been using Krita ever since I bought my first (cheap Huion brand) graphics tablet, last year. It really is powerful. Makes me want a better tablet every time I use it.

Even though I've installed the version from Flathub.org, I'm going to wishlist the Steam version and purchase it further on down the line as a way to support the app financially.

Also, good to see Aspyr porting that update out the same day as it was released. Yup, suuuurrrrre is good to see Aspyr updating their port so folks can play with their Windows friends online. Imagine if Aspyr---and this is really nuts---didn't update a port quickly like this. What would people---GAAAAAAA REALLY ASPYR??? GAAAWWWWDDAMMIT!!! The next GOD DAMN THING you say better be "Here's that Borderlands 2 update we promised."

The moment I read this article's title, I heard distant---but distinct---choirs of angels singing "hallelujah."

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: NanobangI'd like to go back to the press release, please. Who or what are Blue Systems and how does their advisory role help the devs "commit to the Linux distribution full time?"

Never heard of them before either, but according to Wikipedia [External Link], the company has been founded by a computer scientist with too much money. :D (His uncle is very well known in German football ("soccer"), BTW.)

Oh, they sound like a pretty groovy outfit, a Community member doing good through financial support. How cool is that?!

I played around with Mumble/Murmur/Riot (M/M/R)a couple few years back and got a Steam friend to test it out with me. I forget the details, but he was like "It's great, but Discord's easier." And that's why I think Discord's the King of game VOIP nowadays, it's almost impossibly easy to get on and talking with friends.

Still, because it is so heavy with stuff I don't need, I only use Discord when the Steam VOIP is going through one of its "your breaking up" phases. I just want to be able to talk to my friends easily when I game, maybe I can interest the core group of friends in M/M/R. It really was better.

I'm not a bid "adventure" game player owing to my poor brain getting so easily overheated doing puzzle after puzzle and looking for items for puzzles and like that. But I've wishlisted this and will check it out more thoroughly upon release.

A turn-based tactical sandbox? I'm intrigued. $9.99? It's wishlisted.

Also, XFCE or Mate. Neither has ever broken or locked up on me. I want to like KDE, but it always borks on me. And Gnome 3 is just too locked down.
