Thanks, so they never replied to your comment about it?

On unrelated thought, this is another example of how devs going the Epic Shame Store way because of 70/30 split is horseshit. Itch.io does 100/0 and this dev doesn't even seem to take it into account when deciding to drop the itch.io version.

Quoting: velemas@Liam please do not associate Stadia with Linux gaming, there are a lot more of Linux fans outside of 14 lucky countries where Stadia is available. Currently Stadia means nothing to me and likely in foreseeable future if at all.

In any case i wonder how Logitech g29 will be managed in Stadia.

It's playing games, on Linux. I will cover it and I shall continue to do so. Don't like it? Don't read it. Filter it out if you must in your profile settings.

As a reminder to all: This website is Gaming On Linux, don't put us in a box of your own making. We cover everything.

One thing I don't understand though, why does Stadia get a special treatment? There are other streaming services which don't get nowhere near the same amount of coverage on GOL as Stadia. Wouldn't it be fair to cover all of them in the same amount? Or is it because the other streaming services aren't build on Linux like Stadia is? Just wondering.

It does look interesting, if only I wasn't so short on time and money. Welp, wishlisted.

Kingdom Come Deliverence through Proton. The performance is not great 45 FPS on average for me on Very High. I haven't done any tweaking though.

As for the game itself, let me do a comparism with Witcher 3, since I think these two game are very similar:

Story

Both games have a sort of wild goose chase storyline (Ask this guy, he will tell you where this guy is, that guy will tell you where another guy is etc..). Overall, both games have great interesting story and characters. I would give a small edge to Witcher 3 in this area.

Combat

Both games have somewhat clunky combat which takes time getting used to and even then doesn't seem right. Kingdom Come is the clear winner here however, because the combat has way more depth and multiple ways you can approach it.

Graphics

Witcher 3 is the clear winner here. Kingdom Come looks great, when object are close. Look further away and trees look like made out of paper, houses and castles have little textures etc..

Soundtrack

Both games excel when it comes to music and sound, pretty much a tie. Personally I like the music in Kingdom Come more, but that is entirely due to my personal preference.

Immersion

Kingdom Come wins here, no competition. Read why in next section

Open World

Witcher 3 is a game set in an open world. Kingdom Come: Deliverence is a game lived in an open world. It's hard to explain, but that's how it feels. In Kingdom Come I find myself planning my daily activities in advance, then when the afternoon comes, I start to think where will I sleep. Are there some Lodgings near to my location? Will I go sleep now and get up earlier, or do I still try to do some something and get up late? They tried to implement many.. many mechanics to make the game realistic and I would say they succeeded.

Replayability

Again, Kingdom Come wins this one. I played Witcher 3 for about 40 hours on PS4 when I still had it. I enjoyed it and do want to know how the story will continue, but I just can't make myself to play through it again. Because story aside, gameplay-wise, I know it would be the same experience. In Kingdom Come, there are many approaches you can take, not only different combat styles (longsword, shortsword and shield, axe, polearms) but also the way Henry solves problems depends on which stats you concentrate on. You can even complete the entire game without ever killing anyone, if you so desire.

Verdict
If you are looking for a game, where you will be heavily invested in the story and characters, Witcher 3 might be the better game for you.

If you want a realistic open world RPG to live in for a while, pick Kingdom Come. Just a word of warning though. In the beginning, the combat can be extremely frustrating. Which makes sense, you a the son of a Blacksmith, you barely have any armor and don't know your way with the sword yet. My advice: Try to avoid most combat early in the game, train with the captain in the arena, try to get some good gear and find combat style that suits you.

I was overjoyed until I saw the price for those specific Thinkpads. And the fact that they only come with 15.6' display killed my joy even more. For me a 14' low-middle price Thinkpad is what I would wish for.

Funny thing about scary games: I gave my girlfriend Amnesia to play, she played it for about 3 hours and found it boring.
Then I switched to playing Sekiro and she was more tense and scared by just watching me play it, then in all 3 hours she played Amnesia.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, Sekiro is actually the scariest game I ever played. Even more so, than Bloodborne. Of course, for most part, the game is not scary, only some moments in the game are, but the same can be said about games like Amnesia or Alien Isolation. With the difference, that the non-scary sections in Sekiro are far from boring.

Quoting: Duke TakeshiAlso I wouldn't have thought that KDE plasma is the most popular DE, since I personally think it's more for power users who know how to handle all the customisation stuff that you can do there without breaking anything :D

But you can customize pretty much everything using GUI in KDE. I certainly don't think it's meant for power users. I would say "tech-illiterates" can easily handle KDE.

Our installer aims to make the complicated process of installing Fedora to replace another operating system as easy as possible, but it’s still a barrier even for tech-literate people

Wait what?

Maybe in the sense of "tech-literate people, too, are lazy".
Just because I could deal with a complicated installation process, doesn't mean I want to.

What I fail to see is, what is complicated about installing Fedora 32? It's about as easy as you can get.
