Quoting: RedfaceThe updates should be available soon.

Thanks for the info. Good to know it is in the works. My systems are not high-risk, but I am sure there are others that are.

Hmm. Stock *buntu seems to be late in the game.

My system updated from 460.39 to 460.56 a week ago. Nothing since.

I am a long-time KDE Plasma user, so somewhat biased. However, I don't mind the Gnome guts, even using stock Mint back in the Gnome 2 days. However, all the recent Gnome distros I have used feel like being in a straight-jacket and concrete shoes. Even MacOS is much more customizable.

If POP can make a more flexible Gnome-based system, colour me interested.

Great news. Maybe Nvidia and KDE will properly support Wayland at about the same time :tongue:

Quoting: RedfaceThere is one application (snap-store the Ubuntu branded gnome-software and its dependency snaps) installed as snap in 21.04 same as it was since 20.04

I haven't followed recent snap news so it is good to know they haven't pushed more into the default system, yet.

I don't use Gnome, but was helping a friend running mailine Ubuntu using the Ubuntu software "store" app, and it kept trying to default to installing snap packages of many of the things they were looking for. It took real effort to figure out which version of the software came as a deb vs a snap.

Quoting: KimyrielleI have been a long-time Ubuntu user, but their push towards Snap is a dealbreaker for me.

Yeah. I am getting a bit nervous as well. Snap is OK as a technology for commercial or very fast moving projects, but seeing Ubuntu wanting to push core components to snap makes me unhappy. So far KDE Neon has remained snap-free for the important stuff.

I just picked it up and played a little.

It is pretty good for early access. I like the style. Can't beat free!

(I am a tower-defense addict, though.)

A seriously addictive game.

I am a little surprised they are making it Free on Steam. I thought they might put a small price on it to help fund development.

Nice work by all involved!

Seeing them bending gravity and light in the trailer was cool. Wishlisted!

(I do miss Portal and Talos.)

Quoting: scratchiBack in those days was when I just got introduced to Linux and Mandrake 8.2 was my first distro.

Mandrake "Bluebird" - my very first distro, too!
