Good list, didn’t know about armada yet. Will add one more: https://www.gamevox.com/

Sadly, I can’t seem to get it to work. The installation went fine, but whenever I click “Play”, I’m getting “Please insert a disk into your cd/dvd drive and restart the application”. The only thing I’ve found online was another person trying but failing to install from disk. No idea what else I could try, maybe sleep over it and try again tomorrow.

Thanks! I had not heard about this.

Wow, what an idea. I still have the original game boxes with the CDs inside. Sacred 1 and 2. Wonder how it will hold up. Thanks for suggesting this.

I was using https://f-droid.org/en/packages/codes.swistak.batterymonitor/ because it worked reliably while others were a bit buggy for me.

I find both projects very interesting too. I see some distro hopping incoming… Well, least try it out on my secondary device.

Very interesting approach, please keep us posted and best of luck!

Edit: just thought, have you ever heard of RakuOS ? They seem to have similar ideas, about the unlocking while still atomic.

Interesting. Please let us know about your project once it’s ready.

I often have this conversation with the people I do Linux support with. We either go for Debian, which can be a bit tricky to install on some machines or Fedora/OpenSUSE with KDE Plasma. Since you want an Ubuntu based system, maybe check out MX Linux, but be aware, that it needs manual migration between major versions (https://mxlinux.org/migration/). Maybe also have a look at this list: https://distrowatch.com/search.php?desktop=KDE+Plasma#simple

That sounds really interesting, will keep an eye on that one! Thanks for posting.

I’ve played it with Proton without any problems.

I love Subnautica and that’s why I’ve tried this one but couldn’t get into it. Just not enjoyable. Maybe later on, but I had lost my patience while getting through the first stage.

Yes, especially when there is not a word of criticism about Ubuntu that had lots of controversies in the past. With Snap as the most recent and Amazon “integration” as the first I was aware of. That makes it sound more like a personal thing than objective assessment.

No, ditching 32-bit libraries was a change proposal that has been withdrawn. Thread here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f44-change-proposal-drop-i686-support-system-wide/156324/404

Are you sure it’s dead? I think it’s still moving!

KDE has a lot on documentation, maybe you would get some inspiration of how this can be done: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/documentation

I’m running everything that is proprietary (Steam for example) on a second user that is a not an admin account. Heroic and the like are installed via Flatpak that is sandboxed. Sometimes games contain malware, even on Steam. If something goes badly wrong, I purge that second user.

Microsoft be like: Storage has gotten very expensive? Hold my beer!

Step 1: Don’t use Google Docs.

A shop that’s been around for ages and is very generous when it comes to adding extra stuff to a big order - our local group is ordering there for many years now: https://www.ixsoft.de/cgi-bin/web_store.cgi (see “Fan-Artikel” then “Aufkleber” - yes, the website looks dated, I know)
