Upcoming space RTS 'Falling Frontier' looks epic

Quoting: BoldosIt looks amazing.

And it looked the same way amazing years ago, when it was supposed to be released...

This is so old, that I removed it from my wishlist some time last year as I consider it being a waporware...
Interesting. Thank you for giving us more of a longitudinal perspective.

Yup, by far and away the title I'm most looking forward to in the near future.

System76 are giving their Linux laptops a big refresh

I think we're finally starting to see some 16:10 displays from S76 as well, at least the next Orxy Pro is listed as having it upcoming. I own two older Oryx Pros, but I've admittedly been more recently really spoiled by Dell XPS and HP Elitebook levels of hardware quality... I'm really looking forward to S76's eventual bespoke laptops, however...

An Amazing Wizard is a bland name for a game but it looks like great chaos

Looks like fun, absolutely, but I couldn't help but think as I watched this that, if you could go back in time and show that trailer to me while I was playing Psygnosis' Barbarian on my Amiga in, like, 1988 and said, "I'm a time traveler. Let me show you some gaming from 2023!" I'd be like, "35 years of technological advancement, and it's more Barbarian and side scrolling? That's what I have to look forward to? Forget the future!"

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: kokoko3kI hope Xorg users will continue to get fixes.

I was under the impression that not only KDE on X, but especially Xorg itself does not get a lot of love anymore?
I thought at this point it's essentially unmaintained.

This actually looks like a lot of fun if the AI holds up....

Linux overtakes macOS users on Steam thanks to Steam Deck

Quoting: Tobias_HudelistIf they make the Cosmic Desktop standalone it may get even more popular than its Mother Gnome eventually...
They actually will be releasing Cosmic as a stand alone DE to be used on any distro and, if it delivers, I bet it'll be hugely popular. I personally can't wait to have Cosmic with the AUR. What will make or break it for me will be how good its touchpad gestures are. Whatever one thinks of Gnome, its touchpad gestures (and some excellent extensions made for them) make it the indispensible DE on my laptop...

Quoting: PixelDropAs someone who uses a lot of AMD desktop CPUs, and then precedes to build computers for his wife, family, and friends with Intel CPUs because they tend to be vastly more stable...
Interesting post, thank you for sharing. Out of curiosity, also relative to benchmarks vs real life, do you ever really notice any usability differences between AMD and Intel from a desktop/laptop day-to-day standpoint? Or are all of these CPU arguments online basically fights over spreadsheets of benchmarks?

Fedora 38 is out now with GNOME 44, official Budgie desktop spin and more

Quoting: mtI immediately switched from Nobara (which is Fedora based anyway) to Fedora 38 Sway and it is just so frogging great.
Why did you switch from Nobara to Fedora?
