Well, that just makes sense.

Porting a years-old title to Linux doesn't make any sense to begin with, honestly. I never got why they did that - but at least something good may yet come from their efforts.
Generally, Linux sales only seem to be worth it from a pure business perspective if they happen right on or very close to release.

I've had a small test of one of the recent snapshots and the bees are quite cute indeed.
I like that they added a mob that does a bit more than just "exist".

Unfortunately they did not include an option to speed up the combat.
I just refuse to play TB games without that option, it always ends in me becoming extremely frustrated about the waste of my time.

One of my all-time favourites.
I always like to come back to it and start again.

Its only real flaw is that once you got a colony running well into the second year, there isn't much stopping you any more. You'll have your towers pushing back the corruption as far as you can and neither you nor them will gain much ground for a long time - and when that time comes, you just send 1/3rd of your village to a neighboring province to "reset the clock" and start anew there.

In theory, you repeat that until you have "conquered" all provinces. Of course, after doing that once or twice, you've seen it all and won't really see the need to repeat it 25 more times (or however many maps there are ;) ).

Damn, that sucks.
Caves are a truly dangerous thing to explore.

Great! I switched to Manjaro for my main desktop a while ago and everything (except adding other input types like Chinese) has been so much easier and faster than Ubuntu.
Though I'll also give PopOS a try at some point, see how that fares in comparison.

I tried XFCE for a while, but it lacks some very basic functionality like window previews - yeah, you can add compiz to the mix to get that, but those always seem to be at odds with each other and then you end up having various places to make changes in for layouting, etc. instead of just one centralized menu. And the alleged better performance is nothing anyone with a gaming rig would need to begin with.
Still like it better than GNOME, but that's not saying too much, as GNOME... ugh.

So for me it is definitely KDE, at least until XFCE gains some more features I want. Anything except adding Chinese input has been smooth sailing with no problems whatsoever.

I once had a Marble Madness-like dream that lead me to theorycraft a game called "The Unlovable Ball".

Really good for them that Epic is even slower in bringing out new features ;)

Anyway, it really does look better - and I hope it will let me disable that "recent news" section (or it will be gone altogether), as all that gets filled with is "quality journalism" from RPS and the likes.
Not exactly interested in reading the latest political hot takes in my Steam library...

Some routers just suck.
For some of those routers, there is custom firmware, though... but that of course might get you in trouble if it is just a rented model and actually belongs to your provider, etc.
