I needed to get a new work desktop up and running really fast, so I thought I'd try Fedora 39 Kde, an it's working well.
I do miss the much better devtool chain and slots from Gentoo though.

I also love the rolling release thing, whereas on Fedora I have to do big upgrades every few months, instead of being to run "stable" but with "latest release" mesa and installing git Python to test that libraries will be supported on the next version.
All at the same time.

Conflicted if I should move back...

Quoting: BlackBloodRumI wonder if KDE is compatible with slotting [External Link], if it is I might install it in another slot and try it. :grin:

That's the biggest feature of Gentoo that I'm missing thesedays. Slots are glorious in how they can simplify how you think of dependencies.

Indie game to me means it has:
* Independent direction (can make what they want to, without oversight)
* Independent ownership (financial and creative "IP")
* Independent vision (can make the game how they want to, without interference)

As in the studio itself has full creative direction of what it makes, owns what it makes and is allowed to make what it wants to. The studio carries the majority of the risk, but also gets the majority of the reward.

Having a publisher is not part of that definition, as long as they don't interfere with direction/vision on a more than consultative basis, and don't own your creative "IP", you're still indie.

The moment you can't change publishers as a publisher owns some integral part of your creative "IP" you're definitely not indie anymore.
DAVE THE DIVER doesn't own their own IP as it's owned by a publisher, so they fail the independent ownership.

I'm running a latest stable plasma 5 desktop, and the blurry UI has already been fixed as far as I can tell. My one monitor is at 125% scale and the other at 145%, and I'm not seeing any visible blurring on any of the apps I use. (Which doesn't mean it can't happen, just that it's been a pretty decent experience).

Definitely not bug free, but fractional scaling is working fine right now.

Honestly, I'm quite excited about trying Plasma6 out, but this is my primary work PC...

The art and content have subtle mismatches, and the voices are... pretty lifeless.
It was in that uncomfortable valley for me. It was better than some amateur things, but also more... wrong.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI came to the conclusion a while ago that if I'm ever in the need for a new laptop (I have a few for different purposes already that should last me a few years), I'm totally getting a Framework one. They support Linux builds, and the engineering on them means I won't just have one sitting around collecting dust when I can basically infinitely upgrade it...

I'm in Batch 1 for FW 16. I'll consider doing a writeup for it when I get it. Probably only in 2 months.

My kind of writeup will probably be things like... does it suspend, have weird errors, other power management issues, etc...

Because my current notebook, whilst good ito performance and ergonomics, completely sucks when it comes to things like power management fails, random crashes, suspend-resume lottery, tons of repeating and random kernel errors in dmesg, lack of firmware updates (even for windows, it's a shit show there too).

Never getting an MSI ever again.

It's kinda worse than that, the mobile 3050ti is hardly faster than the iGPU on that intel cpu, and slower than on an amd 7840u.
It's like RGB leds, great for marketing, annoying in practice.

Hold on... MK has a story?
It was all the rage back when I was in high school, didn't even know it was a thing anymore :shock:

I somehow immediately thought of the theme park at the end of the eastern Brighton Pier.
Then I remembered the devs said they are from Brighton.
And it's called the Brightside Pier :grin:

Quoting: RoosterFortunately, from what I understood the game is not that good anyway.

I wouldn't say that. It's an overhyped game, and it basically just barely meets expectations.
Meaning its a good game, but has flaws.

My GPU is technically below minimum spec and I'm playing it fine, though. But it is an AMD gpu, which seems to be a blessing for once.
