Didn't really want to go for the most expensive ones as I don't know how much I'll actually use it.
But that one reportedly works well on linux, and seems to be "good enough" quality, so I guess I'll be fine.

The Humble Conquer COVID-19 Bundle is live with lots of Linux games and all going to charity

EU has neither reason nor means to withhold charity-related funds from reaching their destination.
If anything, Italian bureaucracy is known to be a Vogon-inspired clusterf*ck, so I wouldn't be surprised if charities there had problems dealing with national institutions.
But even that I wouldn't worry about right now, as everyone is just waving through anything right now to speed things up.

Quoting: The_AquabatBecause the last thing I knew is that European bureaucracy were locking funds away from Italians. shameful .Quite certain this is untrue and just part of the usual anti-EU propaganda.

Seems Valve do intend to go back to SteamOS at some point

See Manjaro - not once did I have any upgrade trouble with it in the year or so that I'm using it, yet my software is much more recent than most on Debian or Ubuntu.
I could imagine SteamOS going a similar route, though I'm not even certain that moving away from Debian is what the statement implied.
Not seeing much of a reason to do that, tbh. Except if there was something that couldn't be done on Debian, but can be on something else.

Quoting: WorMzyArch can provide the bleeding edge, but it requires that YOU (the end user) know what you're doing.Which would make it the ideal distribution to base another one on that can provide some additional testing.

Valve's card game Artifact is still being worked on for a big revamp

Currencies and the entire meta is optional - nobody really needs it, it's just a shortcut to get gear faster. You're perfectly fine using just the stuff that you find lying on the ground - once you get a loot filter, but those, too, are free.
The people who will even be bothered by anything you mentioned are those with thousands of hours in the game. Locked in an eternal grind to squeeze out a few %s of damage here and there, figuring out minutiae of meta-facts for reasons that will eternally elude me.
For everyone not interested in spending the rest of their life playing a single hack & slay and maybe just want to play through the game start to finish - exactly as I wrote - the game is 100% F2P.
If you want to spend thousands of hours in a game, it is only fair to give some money to make your life a little more comfortable.

Quoting: MisterPaytwickDon't care about cosmetics, don't care about trading. You don't need any of that to play through the game, story start to finish, and then go on to do mapping. I did that, many times.Quoting: TheSHEEEPPath Of Exile - completely free to play from start to finish, with nothing to buy affecting gameplay, skills classes, etc.Le Ma Fucking Oh. Nothing affecting the gameplay? Did you stopped at Merciless final or second Kitava? Shall we talk about about the billion maps there is and the puny 3 tabs you have, despite having to juggle around currency, maps, all the crafting materials? Excluding the fact you are hard locked out of selling shit (trade channel is still filled with bots and the worst prices you'll ever see, so nobody should even turn that on)? It make you need a mandatory premium tab otherwise making the currency, even last league, to roll in the gear for late game. Can it be cheap-ish enough? Yes, is it free? No fucking no, stop saying that bullshit. Let's simply not talk about MTX changing effects that make you absolutely unable to fucking know which damage type or even the proper areas of spells. Does it make the game unplayable? Well, beyond a point, straight yes. So could the community just drop that bullshit F2P PoE? Sure, you'll know if you are interested in the game before you spend money on it, which is fine, GGG need to make money, which is fine (tho the whole balance fiesta, optimizations, liveservice bullshitery (let's have a hardcore mode in a live service game is simply denying the fact the model is a pretty bad thing to begin with) and still not even cross-platforms), but that fairy tail of F2P? stop it.

Quoting: inlinuxdudeI'm pretty sure F2P implies that there is something that can be bought in some kind of MTX form.Quoting: KimyrielleUmmm..... Battle for Wesnoth [External Link]?Quoting: rkfgMake it F2P,100% of all so-called "free"-to-play games suck. As in all of them, no exceptions. Because all of them are designed to suck unless you dump more money into it than you ever would in an actual for-purchase game.
Why anybody still thinks FT2 is the solution is beyond me. In today's gaming business, it's the root of the problem.

Valve's card game Artifact is still being worked on for a big revamp

The only thing you might want to buy are stash tabs, if you really want to sink hundreds of hours into the game. The default stash is more than fine for a playthrough or two, though.
And that would still make you end up with much less money spent than if you bought a full-priced game.
I've played a lot of card games by now, with various forms of how you acquire new cards. Some of them are absolutely designed to suck the money out of you, no doubt.
But by far not all are. I've been playing Eternal for a few months now, for example, and in total spent about 10$ on it. Since then I'm just doing my dailies and slowly build up my card base. Same with ES: Legends before that (RIP).
I see no problem here - those without patience can spend money. Patience is a virtue and if you don't have it, blame yourself, not the game.
I'd even find it contrary to the fun of the game if all cards were available to me from the get-go. Earning them over time by playing is a fun goal in itself. Starting with a deck idea with tons of shitty cards and slowly improving the deck until you can steamroll enemies with it is incredibly rewarding.
If I had all the cards right away, it would be like I'm already done with the game without even having played it.
