Quoting: CorbenBut if the question would be more like: where did you buy games in the last month? And then you select the stores you used to buy something. And with buy I mean actually paying money, not grabbing the free EGS game.
But i don't buy games every month... Maybe it would be better "last year"?

Plasma 5.21 rolls out as one of the best looking Linux desktops available

Quoting: GuestI'd prefer qtcurve, but as far as i know the visual configuration tools are no more, so it is a bit hard to craft a new theme.
In the kde4 era i've had a lot of fun making themes with it :)

Quoting: GuestSomething pretty flat, i'd say.

Quoting: scaineHow do you install Mono, such that these launchers (like Elite:Dangerous) pick it up and run it, instead of .Net? I can't find any guides. Is it as simple as installing the entire Mono stack from your package manager?
Wine usually installs Mono automatically.

Quoting: torbido<location_to_Proton>/dist/bin/wine <location_to_the_game>/game.exe
AFAIK it doesn't work for Proton 5.13 because it's linked with Pressure Vessel libraries.

NES-style free chiptune music maker FamiStudio has a new release up

Imho LMMS is a bit better for "simple music for short videos", while FamiStudio is useful if you want to play your short videos on NES.
