Quoting: elmapulgta6 ?

-- entirely off-topic, but given the current state of Take Two, I have absolutely no expectations for GTA 6.

Quoting: CatKiller

Perhaps finally Half-Life 3 (yeah likely not but I can dream).

HL3 couldn't be anything but disappointing. In The Valley Of Gods is what I'm dreaming of. Of course that probably wouldn't need aggressive driver performance optimisations.

The timeframe for its release *does* fall in line with Valve's notion of 'soon':

Quoting: HohlraumI love what Fedora does but once I started using other package systems 25+ years ago it's really hard to give up the massive package repositories provided by deb and arch based distributions. Finally, they've tried for years to improve the speed of their package managers but they are terrible every time I give them a try.

A rewrite of dnf (dnf5 -> https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about.html [External Link]) is supposed to become default on Fedora 39. It can be installed on F38 too; though I believe it conflicts in undocumented ways with the stock dnf.

Allegedly it's faster, with less complicated cli options, etc.

Cinnamon has a really good implementation of the 'exposé' view (though lacking per-app exposé which is the most useful mode, imho); I *believe* it's based on/forked from compiz's Expo & Scale effects, but works a lot smoother than they do on MATE.

One annoyance, though, is that you can't seem to turn off the windows fanning out per *desktop*, in desktop view -- which makes selecting a desktop with the mouse frustrating, because you end up 'raising' a window that you didn't intend to.

If I can find a way to turn that off, I'm even considering to switch to Cinnamon from Xfce.

Quoting: Guestwoaah looks great

Yeah; I loved 'Race the Sun' back in the day (hard to believe it's been so long); & hoped they'd do a game like this.

The Steam Deck is a game, of course; if it weren't it would've had a keyboard.
