Quoting: GuestI get that RA is meant to work everywhere, from handhelds to dedicated SBCs attached to big TVs and so on... but on the desktop is just a horrible experience.

I agree, the consolized UI is my biggest gripe with it.
I don't touch my controller until I'm in a game, so having to navigate that controller-centric UI is a pain, especially if you have a lot of games. Finding single ones among them is something you really have to figure out first.
Even MAME is superior in that and that's really not a cornerstone of intuitive kb&m design.

Either way, it's still the easiest to set up, even if you can't really make it pretty with box art, screenshots, etc.

Quoting: sudoerso he should change his approach and mindset, embracing the new (awesome) toy and reading its manual.

I see you have never met the average computer user :tongue:
(Which Linus actually above in knowledge, but still managed to fail here)

Stuff like that should be there for people who are interested in digging deeper, but should by no means be a requirement for the average user (unless you aim at techies as your average user).

Clearly, the "make users type some silly string to discourage them" approach just doesn't work.
Never has, never will.

Quoting: CreakApparently communication between System76 and GNOME is not exactly as System76 describes it: https://blogs.gnome.org/christopherdavis/2021/11/10/system76-how-not-to-collaborate/ [External Link]

Oh, look, GNOME devs burning some more bridges.

Q.E.D. I guess.

On one hand, this is bad.
Linux fragmentation is already one of the primary downsides of the entire ecosystem vs a system that gathers and focuses developers on improving only a few alternatives.

On the other hand, I can't say that I'm particularly happy with Gnome and have switched away from it on every single OS installation I have at home.
Either towards KDE or Cinnamon (which, I know, is technically still based on Gnome but splitt off quite some time ago).

Don't really care much about another one written in Rust, but whatever works in the end is fine, and Rust can still support C/C++ libraries, so all should be well in that department.

Preposterous!

You cannot improve perfection!

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaBut it's hard to decide on a purchase when it's early access plus playing the "Proton lottery" wondering "would it work on my system too".

You can always get it, test it and refund it if it doesn't work.

Did that a few times with games that had few ProtonDB reports.

Definitely one of those I'm looking forward to.

Blender is like a charity all big names have to give money to or else people will look at them strangely.

Well, good for Blender and open source in general!

Quoting: dxmn2FA exists for a reason, if your account gets compromised because of this then it'd be wise to enable it. If you already have it for your Steam account (for trading, etc), why not enable it for all your other private accounts?

Just tried to (it was one of the few services I use where I didn't have that yet) - it won't accept any confirmation numbers sent to me via SMS. Their system is thoroughly borked.
One can only hope they'll fix it in the coming days.

I changed my password, of course, but still.
