Quoting: Linux_RocksI was sad when the OG game wasn't on sale on GOG during the last sale. I'd have bought it otherwise to try this out. But hopefully it goes on sale again soon.

I saw that the game is on sale again.

Hehe, as I said "often". Don't miss it guys!

That's an impressive "retournement de veste" as we say in French...

Don't worry this game is really often on sale on GOG.

God-sim city-builder The Universim releases 1.0 on January 22, 2024

Quoting: emphyGog seems to not have the native version according to universim's gog page.

Yeah I was wondering too... Even on gogdb it's not clear if that's the case or not:

The changelog shows the Linux updates, but doesn't list it in the Builds tab but in Downloads one yes...

I have a feeling that we won't have a Linux release for it... But I hope I'll be wrong.

Quoting: CyrilDevilutionX is a gem, I keep hope for something similar for Diablo II, that would be huge!
The good news is that there are a few reimplementations already - just have a look at the list on https://osgameclones.com/diablo-ii/!

The bad news that none of them seems to be very far. If you still want to try: Riiablo probably is the farthest one (at least it was when I tried out all of them ~ one year ago, but my impression when looking at the project pages is that this hasn't changed)

I know very well this site, but unfortunately none of these projects is really active...
Riiablo is the only one with recent commits (less than a year ago), but it's a pitty it's in Java though.
So playing Diablo II on Linux natively it's not for now...

But I keep hope, one day we'll have something great!
VCMI (for Heroes III) was in hiatus for years (nearly 6 years between the 0.99 and 1.0 release), and look at his activity now and how good the project is!

Xorg is dead, long live Wayland - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) dropping Xorg

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: CyrilI use XFCE.

But not on RHEL? Meaning other distros aren't removing xorg yet, which could make it an issue.

Yeah I know, sorry maybe I wasn't clear at all (I use XFCE on Manjaro), I meant: for the whole Wayland thing, XFCE seems to be the black sheep here.
And it seems people are quite happy with Wayland and other stuff tied to it, so I'm wondering if XFCE will support it as well in the mid term, and if it doesn't I'm afraid it will be a bad situation for us XFCE folks...
And in that case I don't know what DE I will be using really... I really like XFCE (even if I didn't tried others really hard, though I hate GNOME) and I don't want to change it soon.
