Quoting: TevurI never tried Call to Power II, though. Is it still worth to invest some time into it?

The game was released before its development was over and it shows. The game then somehow went open source and the community finished it but last I tried 10 years ago I did not manage to compile it for Linux. It may be easier now.

It is actually not necessary to compile anything (although that might depend on Linux type you are using).
Just search for `Call to Power II download` and go to CivFanatics site....

Also there is official CivCtP2 project on github...

There might be also other/different sources of donwloads 😊

Oooohh...
For me, CtP is THE best Civ ever made: There are so many amazing game concepts which totaly ouclass basically anything ever implemented on any of SM Civs, that any SM Civ I played was just too boring for me (maybe with the exception of Civ V). 🤔

A great classic (and CtP 2 too).❤️

It depends heavily on how you use it and what for....
I guess majority of the market has no idea yet how and where to use it properly. That is because the technology itself is just not there yet; it cannot be used for 'anything' en masse; it makes sense for certain select tasks only...

Quoting: sarmadThe snap file format and client side tools are completely open source. What's proprietary is the backend, i.e snapcraft.io, which is fine.

Doesn't that kinda mean that snap being open source is pointless to a large extent? It's like an open source client for a proprietary messaging service

Almost. Technically you can fork the snap front end to make it point to other backends, and I think someone has already done that, but practically such a fork won't be popular since the upstream is locked to a single backend and Canonical won't accept such a change to be upstreamed. I think if we didn't already have Flatpaks and AppImages such a fork would've been popular, but at this point Snap is a dying format outside of IoT.

Dying? Oh....
So why is it being installed by users on literally dozens of distros...? 🤔

Cannonical is just annoying… What's more - it's not like they created something exceptionally new, they just want to ride the hype wave on something that mostly other created…

I strongly disagree with that statement, but whatever... 😅

From the enduser perspective, I'm very satisfied with snaps and with the 3rd party content it brings.

Hhmmm.... Why does this look exactly like an extension gameplay to Carrier Command 2? 😅

...and these are real stand-alone games only? (meaning without DLCs etc.?)

So, if I understand it correctly: People/users do not like AI stuff in games? :huh:
