Quoting: EikeReminded me of AntVentor on first sight, a point and click that unfortunately lost its Linux support.

Oh, that's too bad - when did that happen? I see it got Linux support in June 2018, and it worked great for me when I played it in Sept 2018 (3 years ago, where does the time go?).

Running it now, it looks like it gets a black screen as soon as you start a game, although the opening subtitles display fine at the bottom of the screen. Checking the executable, it says it's from June 4, 2021, which correlates with the last update in their news section - so they kept updating the Linux version with broken builds?

Quoting: Guesteven though this is driven by Mozilla

Mozilla says it's Canonical building the snap packages: "Canonical is now building the official Firefox snap"

Quoting: mihaibI am a bit curious on what this power options actually do to the system... I can't seem to find a explanation on the web. I mean what actualy does it tweak/set to achieve this.

Maybe one of these has the info you seek?

Quoting: t3gIf they are going through the effort with Vulkan on Linux and upgrading Windows to DirectX 11, why not just use use Vulkan on Windows too? Figured having to target one renderer would make things easier.

I suspect they are using DXVK for the Vulkan support (like the previous version used ToGL rather than native OpenGL support).

Quoting: ShmerlWell, that's disappointing. Would have been nice for someone to work on open source console style UI. The trend of Linux distros starting to use closed source interfaces is a bad one.

It does make me wonder what they will do if Steam drops Big Picture Mode in favor of some other UI for Steam Deck. They have let it languish for a while...

The monthly selection has been looking more and more indie - not necessarily a bad thing, but not much to grab your attention, either.

Would be nice to see XeSS and FSR converge as combined open source tech...

Odd that GOG does not have price or discount as sorting options.

Quoting: BielFPsYou can change the default layout of gnome with one click
Here you can see how it works

Thanks; I see it's basically a UI to quickly enable/disable a bunch of GNOME extensions. So nothing really new, other than easy switching between groupings of them. Hopefully the extensions they rely on continue to be maintained (they are popular ones / I've used most of them, so I imagine someone will keep them going).

Quoting: BielFPsIn my opinion their layout switcher function is a must have extension, it's the thing that makes gnome "usable" for me.

Can you explain what this changes exactly - or link to some site that describes it?
