4% this year?

The trendline does not fit. Maybe only take the last 3 years for a linear fit.

Maybe add a point when the Steam OS 3 was releaed for other devices.

The latest Long Term Support (LTS) version of Kubuntu, Kubuntu 24.04.1, is supported with security and maintenance updates until April 2027. So you can install it and basically forget about it and keep it running and secure for years to come.

That's only 2.5 years and the LTS to LTS upgrade never worked for me. It takes forever and then you have some zombies still on the system.

Manjaro + KDE all the way here, from my 6 year old son to my 67 year old mom.

I dont't get the recommendation. Sure Kubuntu is nice and stable but for gamers it's lagging behind fast. Gamers which more often then not spend good money on their HW.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPIt is a very promising game, but currently extremely bare bones.
Definitely overhyped (for what it offers right now).

Spot on!

It was fun until you realize: That's all there is.. And then I got annoyed by the missing feedback: What food is produced at what rate?

It looks very nice but the problem is: some buildings look very alike. So you have to click your way through your village to find what you want.
And I found myself spending too much time moving families from one work to another. Feels like this needs some QOL. Or maybe I'm too dumb :D

I'm skeptic. Sure sounds great: The profits go to the people making the profits. But how does it work if the profits are not there. Are the empoyees then expected to lend money to the company they are working for? Is the paycheck then lowered? The evil sharholders were the ones putting the money in before there were profits.
To be frank: Sounds like a lot of NPC-buzzwords "democratic" and "equitable".
equitable means "Showing or characterized by equity; just and fair. synonym: fair." - Was it unfair before?
Democratic.. how was the CEO installed, by force?

I really don't get the hype. You can simply buy shares in the company you are working for and you have the same situation. I would not advice doing this though: if the company crashes you not only loose your income but also your savings...

Nice list!

Just played PoE "Crucible" until I realized why I stop everytime.. either your build clears the screen within miliseconds or you are undergeared. Movementspeed is mandatory. No big benefit from groupplay :( ..
And if you want to start a new char you have to do the bloody campaign.. again and the lab .. again.

So I got back into Grim Dawn until D4 launches. The latter allows you to skip the campaign for new chars so that sounds great already.
Tried all the betas, worked great with Lutris!

Let's hope I'm paranoid: in the back of my head the idea of Valve focusing steamdeck and leaving the desktop behind is starting to grow.
- Protondb is more like steamdeckdb now. Only showing "Deck Verified Games"
- Steam OS 3.0 not officially released
- some devs testing only on steamdeck (as is the case here)

"Taking plenty of inspiration from Factorio and RimWorld"
Sounds scary :wub:

I love it, all the right people are screeeeching :grin:

Twitter is a leftwing echo chamber. Trump gets banned while (true!) Information about Hunter Biden supressed.

And the "covid-disinformation"-hammer is also great: Lableak-Theory was once a bannable offence, now it's credible. What changed? The President. When Trump said it -> Disinformation. Now Biden said it -> credible.

Sure, we should not tolerate calls for violence against others. But then why are there terror groups still on Twitter?

As many said before: Musk cannot make it worse, let's hope we get a fair and open town square with no or at least less bias.

Quoting: EhvisIndeed. Still not happy about the forced snapping though. Switched my Firefox to the mozilla ppa.

The snap-enforcement was what brought me to Manjaro when I saw artcicles on how to remove the snap-crap from 20.04. It looked like what I used to do when I installeda fresh Windows... remove unwanted crap. That's one of the reasons why I switched!
