Quoting: cameronboschFinally an option with an ANSI keyboard layout. Though it comes too late for me, as I already got a Framework Laptop 16...

Quoting: nyanbinaryAMD Rust Driver when

Rust on its own is not enough reason to re-write the driver. Nova isn't being re-written just for the sake of writing it in Rust. If the AMD driver is already in good shape then it doesn't need to be re-written in Rust. Rust doesn't give the user any benefit, it only gives the developer the benefit of needing less effort to write good code, but that less efforts is still more efforts than not re-writing at all.

Time to move on and stop playing Nintendo games. There are plenty of alternative games.

Maybe they should just use the highest rating (R, 21+, etc?) as the default for any game with no rating.
