Would still appreciate opensuse (leap) and opensuse tumbleweed selection, 2 very diffrent ideas.

APT 2.3.12 package manager released, will no longer let you break everything

Quoting: ObsidianBlkOn the flip side, Linus has been heavily in the tech industry for years. Granted, he's predominantly Windows focused, but he should be well versed enough in the quirks of computers in general to know that, unless you're familiar with a particular situation, you don't just blindly ignore warnings. I get that this whole challenge is them trying to work with Linux like an Average(tm) gamer, but Linus is not. He's got more IT qualifications than an average gamer and the fact he nuked his system kinda makes me feel like he almost intentionally played dumb in this particular situation. I don't actually think he did, but he definitely came off looking like a sloppy IT professional to me in that moment.
Linus primary goal is to make money like so many others on YouTube and twitch etc etc.
A headline "Linux hates me" will be clicked and watched a lot more then "Linux loves me".
So yes I find it fair so assume it was intentionally.

I can't count how many times I messed up my linux installs in the early days but I learned a lot from that, including reading of messages instead of clicking OK.

But I guess as Linux becomes more mainstream and the masses begin to use it, it needs to be more dummy proof.

Dreading they day we need to install symantec for Linux.....

Quoting: Geppeto35yes, but some more than others. If any, Thatcher, Stalin, Hitler, Pinochet, etc. are on the top list.
Am not British or anything, but putting thatcher in that list seems a bit extreme?

Proton Experimental gets DEATHLOOP working on Linux with AMD GPUs (update: NVIDIA too)

Now all Bethesda needs to do is get it working properly, pc user rating vs review sites is pretty messed up https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/deathloop [External Link] micro stuttering seems to be the pc issue, some say thanks to denuvo.

Embracer Group swallows up even more developers and publishers

Quoting: CatKiller
and so the concerning consolidation continues
I'm fairly relaxed about Embracer doing this. Their historical MO has been to scoop up dead or struggling developers and give them a chance to keep going - a bit of money, a bit of security - but otherwise largely leaving them alone. That seems like a better thing to do than to money hat already successful developers and use them as a competitive cudgel (Microsoft) or destroy them (EA).
This, but sadly they will reach a size that MS or EA gets interested in them:(

NVIDIA 470.57.02 released as the next stable Linux driver (updated)
19 Jul 2021 at 6:31 pm UTC

Although I fully agree nvidia has the better/faster/feature driver I moved to amd about 2-3 years ago. Tbh it was not out of some open source vs closed source purity reason I have to admit. Simple reason was I love my tumbleweed and although there is a repo or you can do it the hardware (kernel sources, build etc) new kernels where always a gamble, checking forums when a new version came out,locking kernel till was sure it would work.... In that respect I am glad I changed over, much more relaxing :)

Quoting: Guesti am waiting for the day when these both go free to play.
Let's hope that never happens, so there will never be micro transactions and we can keep enjoying a game that you buy once and keeps getting updated :)

7 Jul 2021 at 2:59 pm UTC

Now I want to play might and magic 4, and when finished install might and magic 5 and create might and magic world of xeen..... that was back then the most amazing thing I seen, those 2 games together created this world of xeen.... and then sending the special code you get at the end of the game to a postadress in the USA and months later getting a official certificat for finishing the game.....
