I guess creating that epic account and simply adding the free game every Thursday is about to pay off :tongue:

The Dark Side of the Moon is a brand new interactive movie
There is no Dark Side in the Moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.
Thank you, now I've got "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the darkside of the moon" in my head for the last 20 minutes :grin:

Note - Wine and Proton are compatibility layers, designed to run Windows games and other software on Linux and other operating systems. Proton is Valve's version of Wine that's available through Steam. See our dedicated page for more.
I just noticed you put a similar refresher in almost every article (and similar for Nvidia stuff). That's awesome forward thinking and very helpful especially for newbies :)

futex2 is exciting. Blows my mind how much Valve has helped kick Linux gaming in to high gear.
Thanks for the kind words. I try not to assume too much from readers, because there's tons of special terms everywhere that are easy to forget or just be confused on. People who know can ignore it but it I think it's helpful overall :)
It is pretty helpful.
In case your bored you might try to move it to a pop up/balloon 5hingie when hovering the mouse over the first instance of the word wine or proton, and then automate it so when you post an article it does that for certain words...... yeah I am full of ideas ;)

Quoting: Liam DaweSince browsers can run a lot of games nowadays, how do people feel about a primary browser question?
Browser question is cool
And if you have time please add opensuse tumbleweed, its a big difference compared to opensuse leap
And maybe add "no" to vr question, don't have one and not really thinking about getting one or not :)

Tencent was already huge but mostly in China, they sure are expanding to the "west" the last few years

Plasma 5.21 Beta is out and it's a thing of beauty, towards first-class Wayland support

Quoting: fagnerlnThis twilight theme is really beautiful! KDE breaks a bit too much IMO, but I'm for sure will try this with Wayland
Way too many times after updating packages my KDE will break in all sorts of fun ways. I've had this issue for years with every KDE distro and is a bad user experience.
Running tumbleweed since it was released, with kde and I have to say that kde breakage I can count on one hand....

I gotten a new laptop for a friend at https://laptopwithlinux.com/ [External Link], was pleasantly surprised with the flexible configuration. Delivery was 2 days later, they are located in the Netherlands. In the end its a clevo laptop but have to say it feels pretty stable and fast, just putting the final touches on it before I hand it over.

GOG has a huge sale on RPGs and sees the return of the classic Moonstone

Loved the dwarves, but I think part of that is because I played it after reading the books, not sure it it has the same appeal to someone who not read it.
