I still haven't seen a clear confirmation if it is native on steam or still tainted by the EA App BS?

But as some are insane enough to not boycott 3rd party launchers, it is nice to see it being tweaked either way. Valve is really putting in the effort.

Clearly, Ubisoft want the Steam monies

That doesn't sound like it to me. Well, they want the money, sure - but they really don't put in anywhere close the effort needed to be worth it. No integration into steam, but instead another annoying launcher that offers nothing but trouble? Nah, i'll direct my money towards publishers/devs that have earned it.

Quoting: naaarfIt'll still launch Ubisoft Connect, sadly... Nadeo confirmed it on Twitter.

Aaaand with that i lost all interest.
Get your shit together ubisoft, nobody wants an utterly useless additional launcher that doesn't offer even a hint of additional value.

Even EA seems to slowly get it - the Dead Space Remake apparently comes without the EA App!
If you are even worse than EA, you are clearly on the wrong path...

If that's a game for you, then even the new price is worth the playtime you will probably get out of it tbh ^^

I managed to damage the EA app for fallen order beyond repair (lest re-creating the prefix) - man did that improve the UX!
Unfortunately, that also prevented achievements and cloudsave to function, but i guess that's the lesser evil.

But after giving the Origin/the new App another chance for 5 bucks, this surely was the last time i gave them money as long as they insist of annoying users with this abomination...

Quoting: mr-victoryThis time KDE stole from Microsoft, the new tiling feature is probably inspired by Win11's corresponding feature.

Fancyzones or something like that? Yeah that is kinda similar - but i guess once every ten years MS also has a decent idea that indeed is FOR the user for a change ;)

The pace of KDE is really impressive again and again ^^
I agree that multi-monitor improvements are very welcomed - all in all it works well here, but when i have to switch my primary monitor to my tv because some game doesn't want to go on anything but the primary, i have to re-sort my panels afterwards (which, to be fair, is rather quick nowadays thanks to the 'manage desktops and panels' addition from a few releases back) - so i'm curious if that is fixed then :D
And integrating the flatseal-functionality is nice for sure.

What i'm really looking forward to with 5.27 is the 'semi-tiling' additions, they sound great in theory at least ^^

I'm really not surprised they fucked this up - i mean, when is the last time, ubisoft did anything right? Compared to them, EA almost seems competent...

I thought we were over this bullshit?

But given how the availability of the 4080 is looking, i truly believe (even more than at the beginning) that nvidia is either having pretty bad yield issues on the full Ada chips (somewhat unlikely given the state of quadro) or purposely limiting supplies of the 4090 to make the impression that 'most people are willing to shell out such absurd amounts of money' and further try to normalize the rip off. And perhaps even 'convince' people that are hesitant (read: sane) until now that their resistance is futile....

Quoting: Nico7asThe Starfighter also packs a 4K+ display

Which is more of a downside in my book. Who would need 4k on a tiny 15" screen?! 1080p is 150 PPI, which is already OK in my book. 1440p may be intersting to some, but 4k is just overkill while decreasing battery life. And that's not even considering the still occurring scaling issues...

I find the pangolin quite interesting, now i only would need to be in the market for a laptop ^^
