Stardew Valley just became an esport with a $40,000 tournament in September

Farming Simulator is esport too. So not surprised.

AMD remains on-track for Zen 4 and RDNA 3 in 2022, Ryzen 5000 G-Series soon

Quoting: ShmerlWill it be already DDR5 by the time Zen 4 is out?

Zen 3 / RDNA 2 kind of had hard time - because of chip shortages they were pretty hard to get. By the time shortages will get significantly better it will be already Zen 4 / RDNA 3 probably.

Though CPUs aren't that hard to get already, but GPUs are still very overpriced.
I bought my 5900X at 580€ and my 6900XT Red Devil at 1100€.

Some retailers sell this hardware at the recommended price. But you need to be patient. Some people wait more than 100 days to get it. I personally waited 17d. They prioritize mounted PC in order to limit resale.

Quoting: DebianUser@Liam Just an idea for improvement, maybe adding Proton rating for non-bold games ? :smile:
Because the protondb ratings are so accurate?
It's not perfect but it's ok. Better than nothing maybe.

Quoting: Nibelheim- It doesn't really support Debian, but Ubuntu and the author consider it "the same" (watch out for names and versions of dependencies which may not be the same between Debian and Ubuntu).
Even Debian has 3 different versions (4 with oldstable) with different versions of libraries. I wonder how these PKGBUILDs will manage this?
(Arch has 2 versions + Manjaro, but they differ very little)
Arch has 1 version since 2017, i686 support stoped. And before, the only difference was just 64 bits libs wasn't accessible to 32 bits Arch. Otherwise, everything was same (packages name etc...)

Manjaro is not Arch. Manjaro use his own repositories. Like Ubuntu is not Debian.

AUR has no Manjaro support. If something is not working on Manjaro, never ask about a fix to an AUR packager...
I thought Arch supported ARM now?
ArchARM exist but it's an independant project. You can't find any information about ArchARM on main arch website [External Link].

It's another distro based on Arch, maintained partially by the main Arch team.

And yes AUR packages usually works on ArchARM (I use it on PinePhone) but sometimes packages are x86_64 compatible only.

By the way :
- The author uses Ubuntu and has probably never made a classic Debian package even "unofficial".
- It doesn't really support Debian, but Ubuntu and the author consider it "the same" (watch out for names and versions of dependencies which may not be the same between Debian and Ubuntu).
- It uses PKGBUILD with an equivalent of makepkg for Debian named makedeb.
- It doesn't work with apt, it requires separate tools.
- The packages are compiled on the user's machine, this requires installing the build dependencies, the author probably does not know pbuilder / cowbuilder.
- It hardly supports any functionality of debhelper (like service management, debconf, running unit tests, etc.).
- The author used the Debian name without permission, "Debian User Repository" will probably be renamed shortly.
