Plasma 5.21 Beta is out and it's a thing of beauty, towards first-class Wayland support

Quoting: fagnerlnThis twilight theme is really beautiful! KDE breaks a bit too much IMO, but I'm for sure will try this with Wayland
Way too many times after updating packages my KDE will break in all sorts of fun ways. I've had this issue for years with every KDE distro and is a bad user experience.
Maybe you're using the wrong Distro(s) or have some wonky hardware? I've used KDE Neon since it came out (Testing Es. currently). In all these years now, the only breakage I've ever had was back when Discover was hella-buggy. Thecritical bugs are fixed now, and Discover is quite amazing!

I love the fact that, although I could use the command line for updates, Discover actually connects to the KDE Store - so it not only updates normal packages, it also updates the Snaps, Flatpaks, and theme and icon sets. Even wallpapers. It's truly a value add and just one example of why KDE is just amazing.

Guildmaster: Gratuitous Subtitle is a pretty funny fantasy turn-based tactics adventure

While I might be inclined to pass this up myself, if the humor is that on points and then I will definitely have to give it a go. I am always a sucker for irreverence humor :wink:

Wow. Reason number 945,693 to pick this up if you haven't already. This game, along with Space Haven, will keep me busy during any down-times this winter. Well done, devs!

They've been working - in one form or another = on updating UT for at least 8 or 9 years now. Sadly, not holding my breath.

Quoting: AwesamLinuxIt is not easy to completely avoid Google/Apple on mobile phones.

the main problem is the financial apps like BankID. I feel like it is a serious privacy issue that you practically can't pay bills or taxes without an Android or iOS phone.
I'm not understanding the issue. Do you have to pay bills with a cell phone? I do not have any software on my cellphone that deals with financial transactions. I have a financial app on my computer that I use * it is run through https and a VPN. What am I missing?

As for the dependency on Google, it has taken me a while but I am a 100% there except for Google maps. I suggest checking out KolabNow.

Any Linux build up yet? I have the original disks, but the release in GH is only an .exe. Would like a native build!

Great game and great value! Recommended, whether purchased on Gog or Steam.

Graveyard Keeper - Game Of Crone expansion is out now

Great game that I've been enjoying a lot lately! Good humor and rewarding tech trees. I was gifted the base game and picked up the 1st two DLC's since then. I'll be adding this latest one this weekend. I thoroughly recommend this game (and I usually am not a "hipster pixel" kind of guy).

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 continues living with a new release of OpenRCT2

Though these types of projects are awesome and have their place, Parkitect is way better graphically and engine-wise - taking the best of RCT games and adding their own twist. Seriously, if you like these kind of games (like I do) - support the Partitect devs - who have supported Linux since day 1.

Looks amazing! I'm not usually into these kinds of games, however - Wishlisted!
