Donkey Kong County Returns. Played it back when I was younger and it didn't click with me. The platforming was too challenging and honestly I think I got too swept up in the hype around the game at the time.

Coming back to it later, I really appreciate it now. The music, animations and platforming is all sublime. It's sequel, Tropical Freeze is my favorite 2d platfomer hands down. It's an absolute joy to play

Cinnamon Desktop? Cononical? Since when was Linux Mint owned by Canonical?

It depends on how tightly integrated it is into the OS. Like right now File Explorer is very tightly integrated with the desktop. So much so that if you can get File Explorer to t crash, it'll most likely bring the entire desktop UI down with it.

Software is like a huge house of cards. You can't take a card from the bottom without expecting the rest of the house to stand

I don't think they've have one click methods to employ "EEA" mode or something like that. I think it's more likely to be a version of Windows compiled specifically with these limitations in mind. You'll likely have to install a specific variant of Windows for EEA

I wonder how this will work. So many registry tweaks which forcefully removed Edge also removed the "web view" and therefore broke a lot of parts of the OS. Maybe this is just removing the shortcuts, links and edge URIs from the OS

Silly question but does that include Fedora spins like the KDE spin? I think the last time I checked Firefox it still said it was running through XWayland (although that was a while ago)

Resident Evil 4! (the original, not the remake)

Man, what a great game this is so far. It feels oddly nostalgic even though I've never played it before. It's peak design from 2005.

Qdirstat? https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat Filelight is also really good https://apps.kde.org/filelight/

JasperRLZ and Displaced gamers g game the ideas and concepts about programming video games really interesting

OpenSuse is great except for one (imho) zypper. When I do updates zyper has this huge section which is labeled "will not be upgraded". For me it's really distracting and makes reading which packages will be upgraded harder to parse visually at a glance

This is what I mean: https://superuser.com/questions/273424/am-i-using-zypper-correctly#361047

Installed from F-Droid. I still see it here

Awesome! Yeah, that's what I was a bit apprehensive about. I've only seen screenshots of a blank desktop so far, and they always show the dock. And the "apply pressure" method is definitely the better way to go.

I love the new lockscreen. Looks great so far.

I've got some concerns about the screen space usage for the desktop itself however. Between the top "Gnome" bar and the bottom panel for apps, that's a lot of vertical space used up. I can imagine this being awful for small screen laptops. Gnome doesn't have this issue because the bottom "dock" is hidden until the actitives button is pressed. Will Cosmic in some way allow the user to hide or move the bottom panel?

It's for when you have really nested directories. It happens especially when you're working in a file space used by others. I used to have a folder I would often reach called /media/nas/documents/personal/school/foo/bar/foobar2001/projectA

I ended up going back to that project so many times, I could just do j projectA and get there from anywhere. "Why not use a symlink?" I hear you say. Well it's because I often have to go to projectB or another which was in another really nested dir. Or I needed to jump to another directory which was equally as nested, and only had to use it frequently for like a week or so. Making and deleting symlinks all the time wasn't practical. Not to mention some software doesn't properly follow symlinks

Have you looked into Autojump? It works with bash and zsh and is even faster than using a terminal file manager if you've already visited the directory before

I used to use Gcalcli which I liked. But nowadays I just use Kalendar

Btop++ is general better since it's written in c++ and is faster

FOSS Not-Chromium based Ublock origin Sane Ctrl+tab

Not really. I still prefer to play my Switch games on Switch over emulating them on my Steam Deck

It totally sounds stupid but somehow I'm guilty of it too. I've even rebought games on Steam that I have on Switch because of that and the fact that I know my Steam games will be future proof for new hardware

Don't worry, MS is planning to fix that soon I've heard. They're just going to get rid of control panel and continue to dumb down Settings
