Quoting: gradyvuckovicWhat Canonical pulled was crazy and unreasonable, as was said countless times, if there was a solution then Valve couldn't have been expected to work it out in 3 months. You HAVE to give more warning than that when doing something like dropping all 32bit libraries.

Well, that exaggeration is a little unfair. No one needs to get off Ubuntu 18.04 until 2023 [External Link]. Ubuntu obviously isn't my first choice, but this wasn't a situation that required immediate action. There definitely would have been plenty of time to change plans.

Makes me think of Zelda and Bastion kinda mixed.

That trailer was well done. I think I want this game already, and I'm not normally one to pick up this style of game.

I don't think Ubuntu has to maintain a legacy-compatible public image. They can move on. There are lots of other distros to choose from. Think of this as an opportunity. You could fork 18.04 and call it Legbunt. It would be totally retro compatible and hipster (read: no one would donate). Sarcasm aside, there will be other options. If you really enjoyed Ubuntu for gaming all this time, well, that is unfortunate. Sorry.

I wonder if this is going to make an impact to the GoL user statistics next month or not. I wonder how many will be hasty. I mean, even if the future looks a bit bleak, it's not going to affect the current releases.

It's pretty rare for me to enjoy playing a mobile game on my tower... not sure about this one.

Looks like it could be neat indeed.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm a huge supporter of Debian as a desktop / server, whatever.
It really goes like this, use stable with backports (namely kernel / nvidia driver, if you have such hardware, etc.) with the debian-multimedia repo, and you're pretty much set. Then you can wait about a year into stable, then switch to testing, since their release cycles seem to be about every 2 years. Just note that testing gets a bit unstable right after a release, and switch to stable at that point so the couple months of all the new crap coming from experimental and unstable don't break your system.

Coming from someone who has used it since the late 90s :)

Sounds like a good system if you're still in the reformat-every-year-or-two mindset. That was really an XP era thing that I find pretty annoying these days. I don't like major upgrades, thus the move to a rolling release years ago. Theoretically never have to reinstall? "Sign me up," is what I thought.

Not saying you're doing it wrong, -- it's your system -- just commenting my preference.

Hmm... I wish this one was on GOG.

This is starting to look cooler than I expected.

Definitely looks and sounds cool. Speaking of sound, that's gotta be some of the same instruments themed in The Witcher 3.
