Before they added that, it was just starting from where the searchbar is. So i could toggle my WM titlebar off and It was fine. now i cant disable the discords own titlebar.

Quoting: rammaWhy's it a waste of space? Are you getting two title bars?no i don't. Its waste of space to have the channel name and things up there on top toghether with min,max,close.

Hytale will run on Linux PCs via Flatpak but Steam Deck will require more work

flatpaks are just awful with their runtimes and permissions. Appimage at least is fully self-contained sandbox, not some random runtime this and that here and there with sometimes no access to this or that unless you manually modify things.
each their own. I don't like my distro to become an android device.
native distro packages are prefered for me.

Quoting: scaineI love how ridiculously divisive we all are as Linux users. :grin:Its fine if you like it.
Dare I ask... why the hate for flatpak (a puke emoji, no less!)? If I can't install something directly, I want a flatpak. I'll use an AppImage and resent it, because it (often) doesn't create a menu item, it requires me to find a place for it to live (I usually bung them in ~/Misc/Apps or something), and doesn't update with the rest of my system. I won't use snap, as I'm not interested in YAI (yet another installer) when I already have flatpak.

sad that you can't disable the discords own titlebar. waste of space on my screen tbh
Before i could at least toggle the borders off from my WM and it was clean, but now the discords own titlebar thing is still wasting the space.
not the end of the world ofc, but yeah.

flatpak :sick:
no appimage?
i guess someone can extract the client from it and build an actual package
nice to see linux support though

Wonderful news... Thanks AI /s
Hope this bubble will burst soon enough and things can return to normal.
Lets hope everyone who has their current PCs, don't run into any issues that they need to buy new SSDs/nvmes or RAM before the prices will get back to normal levels.

No problems, so nothing in the changelog for me and nothing to really wait in the future except once the vulkan extension for descriptor_heap thing gets actually released and the driver with it comes out. DX12(vkd3d-proton) perf improvement thingy

Growth with Bazzite, Mint and Cachy shows that there are lots of new users joining i guess. Since those are distros i see recommended the most on the interwebs

Quoting: JarmerWhat's the general consensus here on the AI usage inside Arc Raiders?I don't know whats called general consesus here, but i'm personally fine if its used for enemy AI behaviour training, or as tool to automate some things and is not really coming up as sloppy art replacement in a game

Nice. I guess this game will make more sense for Steam Machine, when it arrives.
I have been playing over 35 hours now and im addicted. So many tense and random moments in this game that makes every play super unique and fun.
