Quotea fingerprint sensor (although that only apparently works on Windows)

Selling a dedicated Linux laptop with customized Ubuntu distro and having a non-working peripheral? That's pretty lame, because there are plenty of fingerprint readers that work. On both my Lenovos they worked OOTB and even on my old HP EliteBook you could get it to work with some tinkering (and we are talking about 16.04 Ubuntu).

Are fingerprint readers useful anyway? I'm pretty sure someone getting a hold of your laptop can easily find your finger prints all over the device, so can't they simply copy it and unlock the device.

Well, every smartphone comes with one. (And I doubt that "copying fingerprints" is THAT easy...) Anyway, that's not the point: It is a device explicitly "for Linux" and in this case I expect that all the hardware that comes with the device works with the in-house distribution OOTB.

Quoting: ZeroPointEnergyYeah, I believe it when it is actually released.

We already had such episodes where they told us they where weeks from release and it will be out before end of the year. That was years ago, can't even remember how long. How can someone be so wrong? It boggles my mind.

They've never sated it will be out in a few weeks to be fair, Original release got moved due to added content that the backers wanted.

The trouble is it's taken longer than both backers and the devs initially thought!

That's an euphemism. We are talking about years and years. The initial release (according to the Kickstarter campaign) should have happened in late 2014. They may be "only" 10 years late.

Quoting: GuestI am wondering, why there is no proofreader position to check a submitted translation.

You got a product with dozens of localisations. You would need an armada of proofreaders - something a company as Canonical with its 500 employees can hardly muster.

Quoting: dpanterWell, historically speaking every substantial deviation from the trend stemmed from flawed data and was typically corrected before long... but I'll take it. :)

Phoronix observed that Chinese language has dropped by 3 or 4 percent last month...

Must have been me. Got the survey twice last month. First on the deck, the second time on the desktop.

Quoting: M@GOidI wished they show this on the Store page, so when I tempted to buy a game that does not have a native Linux port (I may or may not had broken a promise...), I don't need to refund it later because it doesn't work on Proton.

They've listed this on the store page for a long time. It's down the right hand side.

Ah. Yes. Would be much smarter to show it along the "supported OS".

Quoting: ShabbyXHow well would you think it works for gaming on a TV? I can't imagine fanless could handle that.

Since it relies on Intel's iGPU gaming will be restricted to non-demanding titles.

Quoting: mrdeathjrWell if rtx 4060ti is a fail in various levels, this card join to same group

Personally seems better rx 6700 10gb or 6700/50 xt 12gb and back to rx 7600 as rtx 4060 ti/non ti are stupid cards with stupid price

Let's wait and see the benchmarks, but usually, generation to generation, the RX7600 should be close to the RX6700, performance wise, at a much lower price...

It's hardly any faster than a 4-year-old 5700XT and considerably slower than a 6700XT. The benchmarks are already out.

Quoting: psycho_driverASUS generally makes good to great hardware. You can't really go wrong with their motherboards.

Perhaps you should ingest some recent videos on Gamers Nexus and JayzTwoCents...
