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.

Great - so I will have to change to XFCE to compensate the wasted resources of the library?
Hope they have a do-not-annoy-me-with-useless-pictures-aninimations-and-features-in-my-library switch in the options.

The only downside, is that like other previous Total War ports the online multiplayer is not cross-platform.
:'(

Well, sometime after summer and a few patches then, I guess.... :(

nice to see a day one release though

Outer Wilds becomes another Epic Store exclusive for a limited time

One kind of wonders why epic store exclusivity seems to prevent selling linux versions on other stores.
Is it simply the linux versions not being done (yet)? Or do the contracts actually prevent them selling elsewhere for an operating system that the epic store does not even support? I mean surly the marketing term 'PC-platform' can not have legal binding power, can it?

You can now easily run the Epic Store on Linux with Lutris, Epic suggests applying for a grant

It workedd - I grabbed a free beer thingy - it updated itself and i fiddled with some options - it stoppt working - and now I play Epics 'The Witness' via Steam/Proton.... somehow this feels wrong. On another note: Go grab some money for a job well done Strider!

That fancy site better not be loading pictures from the web every time one starts it... looking at you current banner view library.

Valve making steps to address 'off-topic review bombs' on Steam
16 Mar 2019 at 5:05 am UTC Likes: 1

So if a game is buggy on release and immediately gets "review bombed" for it, you will not see any score at all for that time period? - Well, I guess no press is better than bad press... . On the other hand one wonders why publishers/developers complain about lack of exposure constantly then... . Or maybe creators/publishers of consumer content should try to not constantly find new ways to anger their customers.

I think the business looks at the reviews the wrong way. They are indicators that something is wrong with the product and needs to be changed. Hiding the reviews/scores does not help solve this problem.
