Quoting: GuestHonest question - why would I want to use this over Firefox or Chrome, especially on Linux? It seems an odd choice to port over.Especially since Edge is little more than Microsoft's own custom build of Google Chrome.

Quoting: Luke_NukemI agree. My KDE desktop has been "empty" for years. I ran Windows that way, too, back when I was still dual booting.Quoting: rcritAnd yet still an empty desktop.I don't know about you but the only time I ever see my desktop is when I first boot. That's a weird complaint to have.

So it's pronounced "guh nome", huh? I didn't know that. I always thought the "g" was silent. I suppose next someone is going to tell me that KDE is pronounced "kuh dee".

Quoting: SchattenspiegelThe only question I have is why was this not communicated directly after the release of the windows patch? All this massive delay did was fuel annoyance the of customers.What do they care? They apparently have no further interest in Linux gamers as customers, so they're free to piss us off all they want.

Unfortunate, but not surprising. Despite all the gains made in Linux gaming over recent years, we're still treated like second class citizens who should be grateful for any support at all.
At least Borderlands 2 is a solid and reasonably bug free product that I've gotten many hours of enjoyment from.

Runs great on my system. Gave me roughly 10 more FPS, and it's silky smooth. Took a flight through New York City which is kind of the "iron man" test of flight simulators because of how dense the scenery is, and it hovered around 30 frames per second.
Crusader Kings III is now out, some thoughts on the medieval mayhem

I have read a few reviews, and I see nothing to convince me that CK3 is, at this point, a significant or meaningful upgrade from CK2 with its years of polish and expansion packs. Maybe in a few years, CK3 will offer more than what my version of CK2 offers now.
Powerful Linux video editor Kdenlive gets a huge new release

Quoting: BeamboomNo, I agree it's a feature that some people would use, but I personally never would. I did a project a couple years ago that was several hundred shots, and I tuned each one individually (primarily fixing white balance) to maintain a consistent look across the entire piece. There's no way I could have used a "one size fits all" effect for it.Quoting: Mountain ManTo be honest, I can't think of many situations where I would want to add the exact same color or contrast effect to an entire timeline since raw footage can often differ in quality to one degree or another, so I would want to tweak each shot individually in order to maintain consistency. But I suppose this would differ from project to project.One camera productions, shorter clips/scenes, this could very much be wanted. Or if you have each camera/source on each their channels.
But there's also quite common that you would want to apply a change to the whole production for artistic/stylistic reasons. For example add a tint/shade, or colour balance or some other filter/effect.
So it is an obvious feature of a pro video editor. And, as it was now discovered, so do KDEnlive :)

Quoting: PhiladelphusI think you can do what you're asking by clicking and dragging a correction from the effect menu to the little boxes to the left of the various channels (where it says by default "Video 1", "Audio 1", "Video 2", etc.).Good tip.

Quoting: BeamboomFifty clips along the timeline, you want to nudge the contrast a little... Good luck with that. You need to have a very strong will on wanting to see this as an adequate solution to find this to be a good alternative. :)To be honest, I can't think of many situations where I would want to add the exact same color or contrast effect to an entire timeline since raw footage can often differ in quality to one degree or another, so I would want to tweak each shot individually in order to maintain consistency.
