Quoting: starfarerKDE on Wayland is absolutely unusable for me since my external monitor has really low FPS, below 20. This is also a known bug [External Link] and it's not looking like it will be fixed soon, which is a shame. :(

One commenter has mentioned [External Link] that disabling the discreet GPU in your bios may resolve the issue, any luck with that? It's worth a try :)

(I know it's a workaround rather than fixing the issue, but for immediate affect it may be useful)

Additionally, have you tried with this merge request? https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3254 [External Link]

It may (or may not) help :)

One of many reasons why you shouldn't use Epic Store, nor trust their EAC or EOS. :happy:

But people were told and warned many times in the past, but continue to do so thus at this point they cannot complain about it :grin:

It's Epic... taking your birthday information is the least of your concern. :unsure:

I'm curious who had the multi-monitor issues? I've used KDE for around a year now with two monitors, first with Xorg which worked fine, and these days using Wayland, also working fine. Never had any identification issues.

Aside from Xorg randomly crashing (driver crash) under xorg, it's been working perfectly under wayland for a while.

How odd, either that or it's a nvidia thing (I use ATI) :unsure:

In any case, it's great to see KDE improving! I avoided them for many years while I used XFCE after Gnome 3 hit because KDE 4 was well.. it was KDE4. And Gnome 3.. well we all know what that is.

Early KDE5 wasn't much better.

But now the current KDE is leaps and bounds ahead of what it once was and I use it daily! :grin:

This should be fun!

Including a 70% discount, Cities Skylines (https://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/Cities_Skylines/), released in 2015; currently stands at:

£6.89 for base or £8.99 or deluxe edition.

Okay, but we're not done yet!

Let's include the DLC!

The DLC, including numerous discounts: £162.07

So the "complete game" actually costs you £162.96 for base, or £171.06 for deluxe edition.

This is "discounted" on "sale". And they want to charge more? Greedy much?

King of Seas?

Meh, would have been better if it was one of the Sea Dogs games. Though this could also be a nod to what SR4 just did, with people heading to the seas to get the original back that isn't infected with EOS :tongue:

Quoting: Klaas

Quoting: BlackBloodRumI often hear people say.

You forgot “please add Denuvo” (weird, but the Steam forums of some games are full of it).

That's nuts! Why would anyone; who's not profiting from the game sales, ask for DRM to be added? The phrase should be "please remove Denuvo!"

Quoting: MisterPaytwick

Quoting: BlackBloodRum"What's the problem with always online DRM?" "It doesn't really affect me, I can still play my games just fine!"

I'd offer this interesting, and maybe more accessible take on the issue [External Link]. Do note I don't dismiss the point of the FSF or DBD (I still need to add the DBD sticker to my minifree laptop, to give you an idea of my view on it), but it's more accessible to people. "You are being scammed" is more telling than "you may, at some point once the game isn't profitable enough anymore, be screwed". It doesn't address all DRM issues, but at least the always online part.

Back a few years, I remember saying to a friend how great the bundles were and how I wasn't pirating anymore.

Now that I have the real data hoarding capacities I wished for, I guess the seas are calling back.

I'm not so different myself.. prior to games working properly on Linux? You wouldn't catch me buying PC games. :tongue:

On this front, Gabe Newell had it right: "One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue".

Stick a bunch of heavily restrictive DRM on it, force it to not work with my computer or treat me poorly as a customer? Meh. No thanks mate, my monies going elsewhere!

Ironically, it's the same reason I outright refuse to use Epic Store, they heavily peddle their EAC DRM, while on the other hand I will happily buy regularly from Steam, because they support my platform or GOG because they don't peddle restrictive DRM.

We do have to compromise sometimes in order to get said services for a benefit, but those benefits should favour the customer, not the company. I give you my money, you give me good service. Simple as that.

As for stickers, my laptop doesn't have any yet (Boo me!) but my desktop does have a nice fat GNU sticker on it, mostly because I keep getting stickers sent to me from the FSF :tongue:
