the single 6sec trailer looks ok-ish (better then the thumbnail shit they presented on the store page during the summersale) - if they find a way to load the whole page faster on a slow connection
the video thingy is a direct: nope! never!
and they recommender thingy would be oki-sh if it did replace the current recommendation lists with a single page solution
Also where is my Linux/steamplay indicator on any of the pages?

Here is the big but: But why do I feel SteamDB becomming the only sane and fast option to navigate the shop?

Age of Wonders 3 is free to keep on Steam currently (11-15th of July) get it it a great game

Let me quickly grab a roll or two of my SUPER-money from the restroom (I like to keep it stored in handy rolls there) to pay for one of these SUPER-cards...

Interesting statement by a publisher that favours an addiction based price model on top of making the customer the ware by gathering telemetry...
What is the average publisher's cut, btw while we are talking money?

Sure the Grand Prix event is somewhat stupid but if the they think that the impact of this extremely boooooring event is that great maybe they should take not how easy marketing can be.(it is badly presented, overly complicated, not in any way fun to do and offers a very slim chance to get something for free)

If they really want to have more exposure they should ask Valve to do the flashsales every few hours of the olden days again during they big sale events.
Since they stopped doing that you basically only scan the store once on day one for titles you would potentially like to purchase and leave somewhat bored to ponder over it for a few days, while back then you checked 2-3 times a day to see what's new and hot.

They also should ask for a fast way(one click) to search certain, freely definable prize ranges. That would get them way more exposure then the banner(and stream?! wtf?) cluttered front page.

Takes some courage to change ones chosen and declared trajectory to adjust to needs of others.
Well done and thanks you! to the Ubuntu team.
In the end this may actually turn out beneficial in creating the tools to deal with legacy software in the future.

Make Flatpaks(and snaps) not eat unreasonable storage space and bandwith, integrate well into DE themes, update and manage(including dependencies) through the systems packet manager (at least graphically) instead of being triggered by an autostart rule and being managed in the terminal and you might have somewhat of a workaround that could be mass compatible. Otherwise you just have an overly complicated mess that might work for some individuals but is in no shape or form convenient for endusers.

Quoting: TheSyldatPop!_OS is the best solution really . Hell they are already better than Ubuntu on some various things .

Not sure -they probably are, but they are also a bit small, based on Ubuntu and unfortunately ship only the gnome desktop - so maybe something more...diverse ;-) concerning DEs and a little more upstream. I would love to see Mint but they have a similar situation. openSUSE may actually not be a bad idea.

And that is the moment one is glad that Mint keeps the Debian Edition around - just in case. Concerning rolling distros: I prefere breaking things myself when I feel adventurous so LTS all the way.
