Plasma 5.27 Beta live with Flatpak settings, multi-monitor upgrade, SteamOS updater

Quoting: mr-victoryThis time KDE stole from Microsoft, the new tiling feature is probably inspired by Win11's corresponding feature. (was it called snapping?) But they didn't just copy pasta but slightly improved it.
Don't think so, KDE/Plasma had snapping of windows for a decade. I can't remember if 3 did, but 4 definitely did.
This is probably one of the big reasons I ended up setting onto KDE/Plasma.
This change adds the ability to customize the zones, and change between presets, which makes it much more useful for, e.g. ultra-wide monitors.

Wonder if I can set up zones on a per-monitor basis? Then you could treat tall/wide monitors differently in one session...

Quoting: ShabbyXHibernate would be slower than just adding a few seconds though, why not recharge the deck every few days if you don't play it (but somehow left it in the middle of a game you didn't want to quit)?
It's the whole mental load thing for me. I have so many things to keep track of, keeping track of one less thing is just plain amazing.

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 19: SiNsational

Yeah, SiN was probably the most troublesome Linux port I ever had. Well done on getting it to run an complete it!

It really was a game that had hints of greatness, but was a bit confused by itself.

I gotta agree, please stick to the lower res display. 189 DPI is PLENTY.

A Linux targeted notebook with Coreboot and a 16:10 display and no Nvidia...

This looks like a great fit for me!
I'm getting tired fighting bios bugs with my current MSI notebook.

Will look at it again early next year when available.

As someone that never had a game console, I was completely stumped when God of War said I should press "RS".
Nothing was labeled "RS" physically on the device or even in the steam input configurator.

Turns out it was pressing the right stick down.

These kinds of things may be taken for granted by someone that's used to a controller, but it certainly caused me a lot of grief.

KDE devs talk Steam Deck and their work for it at Akademy 2022, over a million shipped

There are many VPN technologies, did they ship all the NetworkManager plugins?
There are many that I know of:
vpnc, fortisslvpn, libreswan, strongswan, L2TP, OpenVPN, PPTP, SSTP, WireGuard, SSH, Iodine
(and more)
You could probably connect to most VPN's if you only have:
vpnc, strongswan, L2TP, OpenVPN, SSTP, WireGuard

I know the NetworkManager wizard allows me to setup any vpn type without having the plugin installed. When trying to use it, however, it then complains that plugin isn't installed.
I hope they disabled the wizards for the plugins they don't ship.

I preordered a week ago, and they are already shipping mine to me. The backlog isn't that long anymore.
At least for a 256GB unit in the UK.
