NVIDIA reveal a list of issues with their driver and Wayland

Quoting: TheRiddickYeah IMO Wayland is still years away from prime time.
I was thinking maybe 1 year but its just such a trash experience in many ways. At least for Plasma.
My laptop, on which I only do light gaming, has been running Wayland for like a year now. My experience is far better than "trash." To your point, I don't run Wayland on my gaming desktop, but those are for features of convenience that don't work with some programs yet. I suppose maybe OBS still doesn't work...? Haven't tried in a long time. That would be a big one. Still, "trash" is pretty harsh for something that overall does work reliably in my experience.

Quoting: GuestI tried using Plasma but it isn't my taste, it feels like a Windows knockoff comfort zone IMO
To each his own, but you can move the taskbar and/or systray, or replace the whole bar with Latte Dock. Boom, doesn't have the Windows feel anymore.

Kingdoms and Castles has a huge AI Kingdoms update out now

Quoting: Purple Library Guy. . . Hang on a minute. Did that one invasion in the trailer have flying dragons breathing fire on the town?
I think I'm wishlisting this.
I've had the game a good while now and the dragons are not new!

I recommend the game, especially to people who liked the core gameplay in Rise to Ruins. While still worth buying and playing due to the good price, Kingdoms and Castles used to plateau after you became more powerful than all your conflicts. Knowing they were going to add more, I've been looking forward it. Now, it's here!

EDIT: Seems as though the update hasn't come to GOG yet.

Demo now up for high-speed future-combat racer FLASHOUT 3

Quoting: stylonThis looks great - total rip-off of Wipeout on the original PlayStation mind you but if it plays as well I won't complain!
This made me wonder what makes people say rip-off versus spiritual successor...? Hmm... I'm thinking maybe how the publisher markets the game.

Definitely going to try out the demo.

Quoting: stylonI won't talk about my actual gaming PC as I'll probably get roasted alive... but I will say the Steam Deck has opened my eyes to stuff I didn't realise was possible so who knows where that might lead me in the future...
You could solve that problem by adding another drive and dual booting.

The Cities: Skylines - Colossal Collection Bundle is up and an awesome deal

I haven't given the game enough chance because I wasn't in the mood for a learning curve last time I tried it. I'm never in a learning curve mood when I'm in a chill, city-building mood. Anyway, yeah, wasn't fun right away. I'll have to give it like an hour go at least.

Quoteit even has a "Super" key instead of the standard Windows logo you get on most laptops as a great little added touch

They should have used a rocket as the super key, not a text that says "super".
Noobs don't know what the super key is.
You could tell them, instead of being condescending.
Thaaaaaanks for that. I think you missed the point. The point of my comment was to say that not everyone knows to translate the "super key" they see in a Linux operating system to the one with a Windows logo.

Stolen private keys... So, if they were password protected, that would buy you time to make a new private key and revoke the old ones.
