I just went ahead and deleted my account. I don't use Discord all that much, I'm pretty sure I can do without it.

With Firefox's shrinking market share, they better start listening to the users they have left. This could have been an extension so those who want AI can add it, it also would keep the browser from getting bloated with frivolous features.

Quoting: ElectricPrismRedHat and therefore IBM are terrible stewards of Xorg, which lead to the forking and creation of XLibre, which unlike Xorg is __NOT__ on "life support" with people trying to kill the project.

I've now read about Wayland for 15 years, and it still has basic issues according to conjecture.

Viva La X

More Choices, More Better.
I can understand some Linux users not being informed on such issues but not developers. The fact is, it's been known for years that X was in maintenance/end of life mode. That XLibre developer knew this or should have known this, but made a big stink anyway.

As for Wayland, I use it everyday (with nvidia) with KDE/Plasma6 and I do play some games without issues on Steam.

Paradox Interactive completely cancelled Life by You (update Paradox Tectonic to close)

Obviously they bit off more than they can chew. I guess it was going to be another train wreck like Cities:Skylines 2, maybe worse.

And like Cities:Skylines 2, Linux support wasn't planned so I wasn't going to buy it, even though I was interested.

Quoting: headless_cyborgI once read somewehere that Steam Beta is not included in Steam HW/SW survey, is that right? I use the stable release channel just because of that.
I use steam beta, and if I remember correctly I've gotten the survey. But now I cannot be 100% certain that I've gotten during use of beta or if was upon reinstall and I have not yet selected beta.
