That's really strange, so many ppl unable to play Metro Exodus. I'm frustrated for you. I have similar specs as some other ppl here, and it runs just fine. Unfortunately, I get seasick with a lot of FPS games, and this one really effects me so I can't really play it. Like, 20 minutes at a time, and then I am sick for the next hour, so I don't play much, lol.

BUT, I have rediscovered Last Epoch. It was in my "unplayable" folder. I decided to give it a go, and it works great. They also have made the game a LOT better since I last tried it to, so I am having a blast.

Manjaro KDE
kernel 5.10.26
amd ryzen 7 1700*
nvidia geforce rtx 2070

*Is this why I am getting better results with Metro?

Lol, apparently I already have the game and didn't know it. Guess I'll try it out. It did one update while I wasn't looking. Now it is doing a second update that is 57 gb. Hopefully that is the real linux version, because I'd hate to download all that for nothing.

Hey, woah, don't go crazy!

Stupid joke, sorry. In all honesty, though, as a curious non-gnome user, I found your comments quite insightful. Thanks.

Quoting: dibzDuring the original shift from Gnome2 to Gnome3, awful multi-monitor support was why I jumped ship back then. After trying various alternatives, I discovered XFCE was "a better gnome2 then gnome2 ever was" and never looked back.
Gotta admit, I've been frustrated with KDE on this end, as well. Not sure I can stomach going back into time for xfce, but I will certainly consider it.

Okay, I absolutely love this game, but I have earned every possible achievement so a daily challenge will be great. I knew the dlc wear coming and I will definitely get it, but I didn't see that he was able to quit his job. That's awesome.

Gotta admit, I'm trying to not play Dota anymore so I am staying away from Underlords because it is based on Dota. It really does feel like a sickness at this point. But, I wouldn't mind a different game of that genre so I'll check this out.

Edit: Oh, it seems I need to wishlist Hadean Tactics to, then, lol.
