You mean the task bar on top? Isn't there an extension to move it elsewhere?

Yes, I'd seen severals on extensions.gnome.org. But, I research severals forums especially Ubuntu-related one, sometimes the extension may break the whole OS. I really don't want to take the risk.

Nowadays, I'm value stability. I'd no longer have enough free time to fix my computers like when I was 12-19/20, that's why I use Ubuntu. But, even Ubuntu also sometimes unstable nowadays, I don't know which distros I'll adopt next...

Quoting: tonRTotally Linux newbie questions... Should I try it?

Very tempting to play The Sims 3....

Well, currently downloading The Sims 3. I will test it on Saturday evening or Sunday, depends on my laziness...

You could have checked the compatibility spreadsheet [External Link] to avoid wasting your time and bandwidth. (Three reports that it does not work.)

Aaaah! EA games... #Facepalm ;)

If you wish to track what's coming, the developer has opened up a Trello board showing what they plan to add in. It's going to be fun to watch this one grow

Suggestion: University sports team? Read on article it's big money-making for universities in United States.

I'd remember read a comment on PC Gamer on Apple deprecates OpenGL. (link [External Link]

This is a huge gift to MS and a huge FU to Gaben and linux.

Let's remember that MS has a thing called Xbox (DirectX-box, get it? it's in the name). Most developers are now forced not to care about MacOS X (because it's just to expensive) or linux (because it's too small) so they'll just develop inside walled gardens of D3D, because they DO have to care about xbox and game development becomes cheaper when it's developed across just one API (or two, for PS additionally).

Apple is in an all-out war against open standards. I don't think I'd ever seen this kind of hostility from MS.

Possibly Valve retaliation? With very strong rumours on Win 10 will be free and/or subscription-based service, walled-gardening, MS huge incentive to devs, etc; Valve doesn't want their "oil wells" being disrupted. Being "locked-out" means game over for Valve's profit. Desperate + critical times need desperate measures. Making every game works even "Wine"-ing is huge step to ensure future on Steam.

But, it's also a double-edge sword. MS will considered it as "act of war". With MS wealth, they simply buying/paying every developers to make them come to Win. Just look at MS's own presentation on E3 this year.

Infact, I'm really won't surprised Cyberpunk 2077 won't coming to Steam and/or Linux. And won't surprised if CP2077 will be MS Store timed exclusive.

Remember guys, Windows 7 EOL is on 14th Jan 2020, which means less than 1.5 years from now. Net Market Share says Windows 7 still dominating at 42++% (nearly half). As former XP-ian, Win XP EOL makes me come to Linux. Will soon-to-be EOL Win 7 users adopting Linux or upgrading to 10? Time will tell.

p/s:I know PC gamer comments aren't "too constructive", but sometimes we should listen outside of our echo chamber..

Agreed with all y'all opinion here. But, it's hard to be a "niche gamer" since only people that I know using Linux are less than 5, which includes me. Writing/Reviewing on "open space" certainly blown your cover, especially on itch.io as more Malaysian devs than Malaysian gamers, based on my own observation. That's why I not big fan leaving reviews on Steam and especially on itch.

My approach is write a review via email (throwaway or real account) directly to developers. I know in today's social media dominant life, most people too lazy even to read an email. But so far, 7 emails sent, 4 being return (all thank you/appreciation reply). So, I'm considered it as very positive.
