Quoting: dorronI love Linux Mint, but I'm starting to feel like they are lagging behind with the kernel. I'm always having trouble updating to the latest one because of an old version of libc6...and that cannot be updated! (or at least I don't know how). Maybe someone can shed some light on it.

Quoting: tuubiThey're "lagging behind" just as much as Ubuntu LTS / HWE, by design. But if you want the latest stable kernel, I've found Xanmod's [External Link] repository a reliable source. Currently on 6.6.5 here.

As tuubi said, they are following Ubuntu LTS here. And yes, using xanmod [External Link] would be a good option in this case.

Or if it wouldn't work (or if you don't like using kernel with some additional modifications), another alternative would be using tuxinvader ppa [External Link] - that's basically an Ubuntu non-LTS kernels compiled with packages available on LTS Ubuntu.

In case you are wondering whats new in mono 8.1.0, you can find it here [External Link].

Spoiler, click me

Changes since 8.0.1:

• Fixed a bug where the Win32 last error would be incorrectly changed to "Procedure Not Found" the first time each pinvoke method is called (this was causing Simon the Sorcerer to fail on startup).


• Implemented SafeArray output marshaling for native-to-managed wrappers (used by WPF's accessibility code).


• Added System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.dll to the build (winehq bug 49804).


• Fixed a bug where an AssemblyResolve handler could be called multiple times (and potentially return multiple different assemblies) for the same AssemblyName, if the returned Assembly does not match the given AssemblyName (madewokherd/mono#48, fixes STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life's launcher).


• Fixed an exception when the same well-known service uri is registered multiple times (winehq bug 45144).


• Fixed a bug where SafeHandle arguments would be marshaled as a COM object instead of the handle value (this affected System.Speech.dll).

Upstream updates:

• FNA 23.05


• Mono 7294c1e3


• Build environment updated to Ubuntu 23.04.


• SDL 2.28.2

Quoting: GuestIs this game online or not? Does it have microtransactions? First thing i see on steam they are selling some kind of in-game currency.

Beta has an offline mode, but you need to first register an online account to get there. :). In 1.0 they are promising a full/true offline mode.

Exploration phase is my favorite phase in Stellaris, and anything expanding it (especially in mid- and late-game) is very much appreciated. :).

Quoting: pete910

Firstly, in reply to someone on X (formerly Twitter)

WTF :shock:

Am I in a some weird parallel universe of something..

When on earth did that happen????

Am so behind on well everything by the looks of it! :huh:

It happened just last month [External Link], apparently. Loosing billions in brand value [External Link] in the process, of course...

I like Larian. Even their EULA starts with "End User License Agreement aka Our Cursed Pact [External Link]".

Didn't play much yet, but I'm having fun so far. Looks like a good DLC. :).

Quoting: mamillerAll of my friends are playing EU4, but to be fair: it's too complicated for me :cry:

Usual Paradox joke: Don't worry, after just 2 or 3 hundred hours you'll get the basics. Just try it! :).

On a more serious note: yes, the learning curve is long, but the game will really shine after. Seriously, try it some time.

Proton 7.0-6, AMD GPU. Works OotB for me.

Does anybody knows if Atari still has any rights/claims over Neverwinter Nights 2? I'm still wondering if it ever returns to Steam.

(I already have it in GOG but wouldn't mind to have it in Steam also...).

Quoting: Philadelphus(Though I feel like I've come across a disproportionate number of Stone Age civs on Tomb Worlds with the Survivor trait…maybe it's just random, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is seeing something like that.)

Currently there's an issue [External Link] in the game when any pre-FTL civilization in atomic age has a 5% chance to start nuclear war event every month. And that can either wipe them completely, either throw back to stone age.

Should be fixed in a hotfix this week.
