I bought it:angry:
It's looks cool, feels good but...
Game constantly crashing, I was able to play through one map, then 5 games crashed while joining game and one crashed after died and tried respawning. It's a joke at it's current state, even from an early access game would be a minimum that you can play the damn thing...

Or the other options again..the tree over there.
You're condescending, says the guy who told me to climb back to the nearest tree.
But I wasn't. I am a tiny bit now: The point went over your head. The point was, there are lots of branches of knowledge that can make claims that if you don't have them you are inferior. It is rare for the claims to be valid; claims about the arts or political economy or DIY home maintenance are no more/less valid than your claim that if I don't want to learn computers I should return to the apes. Do you get it now?
Yes there are lot of branch of knowledge and you don't need to know all but...and this is a big but, usually you don't need to know all that because you don't want to use it.

BUT if you want to use something you have to learn it.
Also you don't understand basic package management and yet somehow you qualified to say that snaps are wrong. HOW would you know exactly? Also there are plenty of google finds if you really want to know how to remove it. You know..instead of speak of "forced" snaps.

I have other things that I am more interested in spending time learning. You live in a society--tell me, what do you know about political economy? Are you one of the voters, or for that matter non-voters, blindly helping steer the world into a ditch? I could well argue that all the time you spend learning about the minutiae of computers would have been better spent learning about politics, economics, media concentration . . .
Do you know anything about history? No? You are doomed to repeat it. Do you know anything about art, literature, philosophy? No? You are a hooligan still in that nearest tree. Can you fix your washing machine by yourself? How about your dishwasher, microwave oven, refrigerator, hot water heater? Why don't you know about those things?

The fact is that there is too much in the world for anyone to know about all of it. And despite the arrogance of many computer enthusiasts, there is nothing fundamentally more important about that particular specialty than about many others.
Mate you are tiny bit condescending, who think that he is better than others..and yeah that lot of populist politician will ruin this world but this not the forum for that, also I really like history especially the Roman history and I really love Orwel and Joseph Heller. And I also can fix my fucking electric devices is why? because there is a manual for them, you just read and try to do it and most of the time you will be okay.

But whats the difference? I do this as a hobbi and because I can do this. But you need the computer to work or even to be a good consumer or get your shit done...and same stands for the car. Because they are tools witch you can't stand a chance without in this world right now. And you want use those tools then you must willing to learn, how to use them. Or the other options again..the tree over there.

Quoting: Lycurgus87I really don't get all the rant about "forced snaps", Forced means you don't have a choice.
It's not the case here.
Feel free use any other software center, or the terminal. You can turn snaps off as a whole if you don't like them.
By which you mean, Ubuntu can't stop me, if I have enough technical knowledge, from getting in there and ripping the whole Snap thing out somehow. But as I understand it you do not mean that Ubuntu has a little button in the control centre that turns off Snaps, or anything even vaguely resembling that.
And sorry, but that does not mean I "can turn off Snaps"--I can't.

And be a happy little pinguin as I am. And learn to use your system, because probably (about 99%) you are the problem, not your machine, nor the software. Especially if you can't install things correctly.
I really hate having to explain this all over again all the damn time. Ahem: No.
I am a computer user. I use Linux because it is a better operating system to use. And for reasons related to the politics of open source, true. But I want to use Linux, like it's an operating system and helps me get things done that I do on computers, like playing games or doing word processing or using whatever random bits of software I feel like loading up and using for whatever comes up.
If instead I have to be fiddling with the computer to make it do that stuff, Linux is failing to be a decent usable operating system. It is instead being some sort of pedagogical tool for computer developers. I am not a developer or a programmer or a server admin or anything like that and I'm not interested in having a computer designed to teach me how to fiddle with the OS via its design flaws.
If you not willing to learn you can always climb back to the nearest tree :tongue:
Also if you use windows or any operating system you should learn those too at a bare minimum. It's not about you being a system admin, its about you learn to use your tools.
What will be next? The cars?? oh wait thats already happening, and its the same problem because humans getting so entitled and stupid they don't even bother to learn how to drive properly anymore..and companies adjust cars for ppl who not willing to learn to drive.

For me they can, and will coexist with flatpak and deb packages becuse why the hell not? Also the slow firefox snap is not ubuntus fault, and fixed. But again you can install the deb package from ppa or even the ESR version of firefox if you want the rock solid version.

Linux about choice, variety is good that's how things progress and grow as a whole. It's totally unnecessary and, foolish to bash someone because they have different opinion or do things a little differently.

Also Ken VanDine probably do more things for the linux community than the guys who say he is hypocritical and shit...show some damn respect ppl.

Proton Experimental gets Age of Empires 4 working out of the box on Linux
11 Nov 2021 at 10:51 am UTC

I play AOE4 since october 31 and everything is fine, yes needed some tweaking but its worth it.
I tested campign / tutorial and Online multiplayer and everything works nicely. I play a match every evening. I have 30 hours + now estimatedly without a single crash or problem.

What have you been playing recently? Come chit-chat with us
16 Feb 2021 at 12:56 pm UTC

I playing Planet Zoo in Franchise mode since humble sale..and I absolutely loving it. Pretty much hassle-free with proton 5.13, although sometimes you need to kill off PlanetZoo.exe and wine environment at the first start. Other than that it is a nice experience. :happy:

Civilization VI - New Frontier Pass launches without Linux and macOS
22 May 2020 at 12:50 pm UTC

I bough Gathering Storm at a full price, because I thought wow these guys give a shit about linux.
Turns out they don't, they don't even give us a release date and honestly it's not that hard.
So tell me if this shit show gets on the sale 60% minimum. This is how to loose a long time civ fun.

Until that I go buy Space Haven instead and a few more because I can.
And Firaxis and Aspyr can kiss my pinguin ass. :><:
