As a small business owner... this belongs in the horror genre.

Quoting: NibelheimI'm curious about people DE who use standalone WM. What is your WM ?

Personnaly, I use standalone OpenBox.

I'd like to see that as a dropdown option, I'm curious what others use also. Though I realize it would be hard to list all or even most of them. (Awesome WM user of 4 years here, though I also love OpenBox and use it at work)

Linux Kernel dev bans University of Minnesota for sending malicious patches

This is a pretty ridiculous way to test the Linux community, but also shows that the kernel devs need to stay top of their game... just imagine what could happen when (not if) malicious code does slip through the review process. (Reminds me a bit of the so-called "Grievance studies affair").

Quoting: PJThis game is among the best platformers I've played and the style is simply amazing.

Agreed. As an old man in internet terms (now in my 40s), few games really grip me and compel me to complete them any more. This one did.

The Linux distribution I was most thankful for in 2020 - EndeavourOS

Quoting: DuncArch just hasn't felt as “Arch-ey” since the switch to systemd. It's not even about the merits or otherwise of systemd itself (I'll reluctantly admit it has its good points). But the old init system was glorious, and for me, since the moment I first used it, as much part of what made the distro special as pacman and the AUR. And they just dumped it.

This sums it up for me too. I really enjoyed the elegant simplicity of modifying one file (rc.conf) to control the system's services and network config. I don't know enough about how systemd works to say whether it's more or less efficient, but it sure is a whole lot harder to understand.

I'm sure the game is fun, but I'd also love to have a desktop environment that looks like this...

In their most recent update, they also appear to have Debian working on it (with a screenshot).

Haha, so it's kind of like a reverse-Lemmings...

NENA is a sweet little puzzle action-adventure where you control a robot with telepathy

A pixely adventure game with a jazz guitar soundtrack? Did they make this game just for me?

Cursed Gem is a pretty charming and amusing challenging platformer out now

Something about the small-sprite style of platformers like this makes me nostalgic for the MS-DOS days and all the shareware games I used to collect. I'll have to check this one out. Bonus points for being built on Godot. Now I want to finish the tutorials I was working through and make a game...
