Quoting: CyrilLiam, like many people here, you have a monster of a PC, of course you don't care about snaps in performance aspects.

Liam does have a good computer (same specs I have) but I built my pc in 2020, which is coming up on 5 years old pretty soon. The specs he and I are running are nowhere near top of the line. Saying he doesn't care about performance on his system isn't fair at all. And it doesn't even really make sense. Of course he cares about performance, we all do.

2020 is pretty recent, especially when you built this computer for gaming purpose, it's not an issue at all when speaking about general use... no this is not the question.
What I meant, if it wasn't clear, it's just that in that context you don't care because the power of your machine will surpass the downside of using snaps anyway.

I wasn't speaking of storage itself, but snaps take more boot time. So in the end it's just slower for general use and it's boring, when it was fine with non-snaps packages.
In that context, I don't see the gain of using them at all.

Quoting: Liam DaweThis "bloat" is not something normies care about, only pedantic people who like to watch a few extra MBs get used up. The reality is: only a few people really care.

Liam, like many people here, you have a monster of a PC, of course you don't care about snaps in performance aspects.
But in reality, not only your reality, when your low-end computer slow down because of snaps (it worked perfectly fine before), I assure you: you care.
And when because of that, you think about buying new hardware, I assure you: you care.
In the end it's just more waste (we surely don't need that) for zero benefit of using snaps for normies (as you say).
Microsoft do this kind of shit to force people to buy new hardware, people complain about that and some did installed Linux, we don't need Linux distribution doing the same as Microsoft for "reasons" that only make sense (globally) for Canonical.
It's just crazy to pretend there is no problem about that, and worse: that it only concern pedantic people...
I hope there are people who understands me, as it seems nobody in the comments mentioned that until now.

Quoting: CaldathrasLike Diablo II: Resurrected, they built in the ability to swap between the original or remastered graphics.

This is always a nice feature to see, a few games did that too, and it's cool.
But yeah Blizzard is doing shit, doesn't change that.
Out of curiosity, I watched some videos of comparison between the original Warcraft I & II games and the remasters, and it's just awful AI upscale...

Quoting: Leahi84Great, so they can make From Software games Sony exclusives...

I would actually hope it would bring Bloodborne to PC.

The dream lives on...

Quoting: nnohonsjnhtsylaySadly its written in rust so it takes forever to compile on my computer, even with my cpu with 24 threads

[...]

Thanks, can you explain a bit more for noobs like me?
Like I don't understand why compiling Rust implying all of that and not when compiling C (and maybe the question could be ask for Go code or another language I don't know).
What are the differences, and why? Is it fixable?

So if I understand correctly, the RT kernels will disappear, as it's become useless now?

It's me or this gif is so sexual?

Quoting: LinasWow, this is a big can of worms to open.

If they allow software that changes the behavior of Steam (e.g. plugins) on the store itself, it would surely open up a lot of possibilities, but also ripe for abuse.

I would hate to see Steam become this:

Ah yes... The Golden Age.
