Why on Earth someone spends a penny on that non-store is a mystery to me.

Let us hope they will keep the native Linux version support and the boss fairness adjusted. I played the original with my casual gamer partner in coop mode, had to cheat in the halfway just to pass end of chapter bosses.

I used that site for handful of times anyway. ModDB FTW.

Makes sense. Snowy winter in Europe that closed roads and schools; severe inflation that rendered socialising outside near-impossible. I can't think of better way to kill time. Heck, even I returned to Overcooked 2 and finally started playing Victor Vran after years of delaying.

Canonical call for testing their Steam gaming Snap for Arm Linux

Quoting: scaineSounds like your PC has a problem. Or are you referring to the long-fixed Firefox start up delay?

Snap might not still be the absolute fastest at startup, because it unpacks some libraries on first launch, but it's quick enough that you'd likely not notice unless you already knew.
Yup, Firefox gargled by snap issue is what forced me to quit Ubuntu and migrate to Debian couple months ago. The issue might be fixed for the latest versions of Ubuntu but it still was there for 24.04 LTS release.

The only scenario that I find such containerised solutions useful is the legacy software whose dependencies cannot be satisfied another way. Modern software, especially the libre software offers source code access (Firefox) shouldn't require snap, flatpak, appimage, etc unless there is a specific security and/or privacy reason demanding it.

Using Snap so any time I launch a program, it hang for 5 seconds as if it is on a 5200 rpm spinning HDD. No thanks.

Quoting: Tethys84I think BG3 winning Labor of Love is absolute BS. No Man's Sky has been releasing FREE expansions every year, sometimes multiple. I can't see BG3 having done anything deserving that award. 100% feel like people just vote for what's trending.
Literally lying the people about the features of the game before the release, then subsequently adding them years later is not labor of love. It is called BS. No Man's Sky was released such a bare bones state that they had to use stickers on physical copies to cover non-existed features. I would call those free expansions lawsuit evasion at best.

BG3 devs kept listening its community, improving the game by the feedback and even offered a native Steam Deck port. Here is gamingonLINUX, ofc will care the game and its dev who cared them in the first place. Not to mention, almost all previous games in the series were updated for modern OS and received Linux native port. Now, THAT'S dedication.

Fuck. Is there a Firefox fork that supports DRM for Spotify, Netflix, HBO Max etc?

Any way turn off silly pixelated fiter? I cannot stand deliberate 5 gen console filter on modern 3D games.
