KDE releases the Plasma 5.20 desktop - just as beautiful as ever
14 Oct 2020 at 6:44 am UTC

Quoting: Bladeforce
Quoting: Dorrit
Quoting: TermyI just hope this icon-only task manager crap will not be the only option in the future ^^
I much prefer the classic task manager too.
Change it back to the classic task manager its not difficult. Options is always the way to go
i know, thats why i hope that doesn't change in the future ;)

Quoting: tmtvlI may give kwin another try but I just know it'll still be EWMH compliant and therefore terrible on multiscreen.
what issues do you have on multiscreen?
i use two screens (of different size) and the only issue i have is that freesync doesn't work with that - and thats no kwin issue ^^

Quoting: rustybroomhandleNot sure if it's the compositor or sddm or what, but for some reason games just feel like they run better on KDE. Have not benchmarked and purely going on feels here.
I agree - but only until you try kwin-lowlatency xD

KDE is still my favorite by a long shot. I just hope this icon-only task manager crap will not be the only option in the future ^^

It's a shame you'd have to build your own kernel to get asus/asrock to work...but the project itself is awesome. Even for the folks that just want to turn off the leds ^^

Nice that you get it for free, loved both SUPERHOT and the VR-Spin. Although i must say it is WAY more intense and impressive in VR ^^

Supraland stops supporting Linux shortly after leaving GOG entirely

I'm totally fine with that - if they commit to keeping it working with proton.

Dying Light - Hellraid launches July 23, pre-purchase and Beta up now
27 Jun 2020 at 8:17 am UTC

Quoting: OG SWAT RV@LinuxI am interested in the DLC : Hellraid DLC

Pity the game is not available in Germany... :sick:

But the main game I have.
if it's the same as the main game/following it is only "soft locked", so you can buy it with an VPN and can play it without, so no hard region lock.
I'm pretty annoyed by this bullshit, too though ^^

Hellraid looks pretty neat, but i also share the doubts if it really is enough content

Valve moves on from OpenVR, goes all-in with OpenXR for SteamVR

Sounds like good news :D
Lets hope thats the reason that SteamVR on linux seems to kind of stand still with longstanding big issues like power management (lighthouse not powering down), Dashboard not working, fix async reprojection and so on.

Hopefully openXR will make things better ^^

Thats how retro should look like - old, but with a modern touch :D
