Quoting: KohlyKohlI will buy this as soon as I can find a 30 series card. So, I guess I'll be getting this in 2022.

Ha, seriously. The 'perfect storm' of bullshit has hit us computer nerds, where all the new cards are being bought up by mining farms, or they're bought by people who think they can just double/triple the MSRP. Even the 20 series are marked ultra high...

It's a perfect storm, but it's more than just miners and scalpers. Some interesting insight from Linux Tech Tips on this subject from two days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A4yk-P5ukY [External Link]

Back on topic - this is an immediate insta-buy for me, even at full price. I loved the first two games, although they have their (minor) flaws. Can't wait to play this!

Yeah, watched that yesterday. Linus... I mistype it as Linux too ha! Yeah with chip shortages too. It's freaking nuts.

I've been looking forward to this game as well, though I still need to win the first one!

I constantly call that channel Linux Tech Tips. I know it's Linus. My fingers don't. :grin:

Quoting: Joeg1484Oh man, I JUST bought this for Proton because I didnt know when it was going to be released :-/... I hope I can still play it on Linux or if I have to re purchase it... Bummer... I guess I need more patience :-D

You're fine, buying on Steam 99% of the time gives you access to all platforms (1-2 games being the exception).

Does playing via PROTON in the 1st couple of weeks count as a linux sale to the producer?

Yep, Proton was confirmed as "counting as a Linux sale" quite early after it was first announced.

Interesting, Nocifer - I wasn't aware of Super+A at all. Gnome probably need something like Ubuntu's old shortcut-popup that taught you all this stuff.

That said, just pressing the Super key is decent enough generally. Hit it once, then type what you need. It acts like Krunner in that regard, or the old gnome-do (loved that app!) in that it's basically invisible, but is a very quick keyboard-based way to navigate around. Combined with the PopShell extension for tiling, Gnome could almost compete with i3 for a tiling environment.

Gnome has, with enough extensions, grown on me.

Quoting: NezchanOpenRazer doesn't seem to pick up my Deathadder v2 at all, so Polychromatic has nothing to work with. Bit of a disappointment, really.

It should work after the plugdev fix I mentioned, Nezchan. I was in the same boat - OpenRGB only saw my motherboard's fan, while Polychromatic failed to load. After plugdev and a reboot, it all sprang to life. Now I can use either/or OpenRGB/Polychromatic with my Deathadder v2.

You're on Ubuntu-Mate, while I'm on Pop_OS 20.04, so hopefully there's enough crossover that this can work for you.

Desktop Icons [External Link] is a quick fix for that particular oversight.

Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47I'm not going to use Gnome Shell, but I look forward to seeing gtk4 ports of Gnome apps I do use. And Cinnamon eventually too.

I'm using an extension called Dash to Panel [External Link] and it more or less turns Gnome Shell into Cinnamon, albeit without desktop applets. I also had to add User Themes [External Link], of course, since it's pretty ugly out of the box. But, if you ever decide to jump ship from Mint, give it a try. I'm really impressed with Pop.

Exciting to see updates, but I wish they (gnome devs) would do something about the state of gnome extensions to be honest. I can't count the number of times I've hit "install" on an extension only to see "error" as the immediate outcome. Sometimes it's a simple dependency, sometimes it's something else that needs tweaked/edited first, sometimes it's a specific version of gnome-shell that's required, and sometimes the extension is just broken and unmaintained (but still available). That last one is even more annoying when the description says "gnome devs please remove this broken extension" - don't you get to delete your own extension once you've uploaded it??

It's just frustrating. All the more so when I realise that I needed over 10 extensions installed for this desktop to be vaguely usable.

Sadly, it's more likely that Gnome 4, with its increased reliance on GTK4, will break more extensions, making the situation even worse, rather than better.

That music gave me a mild seizure, but the game looks like it really captures the magic of Super Monkey Ball. I don't often complete Nintendo games, but I did complete that one. This looks brilliant!

This is weird - I re-installed Tangledeep just three days ago out of the blue when I noticed that I'd only played an hour, but it's the kind of game I enjoy. There's a bit of a learning curve to the game, and it really, really needs better tutorials, but it's generally excellent. I might have to give the new Ronin mode a shot too, although I'm enjoying my mage/paladin mix right now!

Just tried this - superb. I originally missed the line about adding my user to the plugdev group. After that (and a reboot) and it works great. Quite impressed with Polychomatic too, particularly the dark tray icon support. Really nice to have a simple way to control my mouse colours - love it!
