I'm looking forward to the improved speed and other features but not looking forward to buying another new MB, fan, RAM and most likely PSU (because why not). It looks like early versions may be limited to 16 cores.

I think it may be a good thing for the Discord employees. Any with shares could get a nice profit after the IPO. If MS bought them outright then only the execs would benefit.

They haven't done Linux builds for a while https://github.com/coelckers/Raze/issues/160 [External Link] but it wasn't a big problem to build ZMusic and Raze from source. I was able to launch Duke3D Atomic, Duke3D Shareware and Redneck Rampage and the first levels played great. I tried Redneck Rampage with Vulkan and the Dukes with OpenGL.

I had to copy the .GRP files into /usr/share/games/raze for it to find them (I changed the default prefix from /usr/local to /usr).

Quoting: RoosterWhy not throw some funny looking chicken in the mix? Or penguins :wink:

Chickens and penguins don't travel in herds so it breaks the name of the game.

I play exclusively single-player for similar scheduling reasons and it's fine. You have to do all the grunt work yourself (resource collection) so for me anyway it's slower going than those in the valheim channel on Discord but I'm still enjoying it after many hours.

Quoting: scaineYeah, that was their "little joke" at the time - the user is an unfixable security vulnerability. Why are devs? Just... why? They can absolutely get in the bin with that attitude.

This has annoyed me all over again, so I'll spitefully not bother trying KDE after all. :grin:

Oh Kome on sKain, what's the problem with a little joke? :wink:

For the most part I don't interact with any of the K-commands directly that I know of. I tend to stick with xterm rather than their console FWIW.

Similar to what Hori said, if I already have a Windows system capable of playing games why would I reboot using a USB stick to play them in Linux? Would this interest existing Linux users at all?

I rarely reboot as it is. The idea of rebooting every time I want to play a game? It's not for me.

Does the old Windows trope "I see you moved your mouse, please reboot" still apply?

This beats the alternative. A decade (or more) ago the Loki setup tools were statically linked to avoid libc issues. It only built this way on some golden, magical system that icculus had solely for this purpose.

I can't say I'm too keen on having to use a MS account either. My only experience with MS accounts is on the X-Box and it isn't great. Creating and managing a linked account for my son was bad and killed the unboxing experience. And I'm reminded every time I go to log in where it takes 10-20 seconds for the password prompt to appear.
