This is more a question for non-power users. They are the key to widespread adoption and supplanting Windows. The OS has to be user friendly to the point that people don’t need to worry about the terminal unless absolutely necessary but still flexible enough to not alienate the power users that want to dive deep into it.
Could I get a whole saucy magnitude scale from you?
It’s obvious corpos learn the wrong lessons all the time.
I think they are just trying to set expectations. A ton of people conflate digital painting and photo manipulation so if an app can’t do both like Photoshop they think it’s trash.
If the day comes I want to upgrade my 3080 I’ll switch to an AMD solution but until then I’ll take any improvement I can get from Nvidia.
The popularity speaks to the contrary; a lot of people want to exist in a universe they get to see neat things. There are quest lines to help push players forward if they want, they just aren’t required and are easy to ignore. I don’t think resource scarcity is meant to be a major aspect of the game but I can see why someone might want it to be.
Every planet doesn’t have every material you need for crafting everything. But a single solar system likely has most of it. There are key elements on every planet that are meant to make sure a player never gets stranded. I guess one could argue for that to be a game mode though if it isn’t already where you very well could end up on a planet and have no way to survive.
A lot of people like the gameplay loop from day one but the initial lies about how multiplayer worked was a driving force behind the unhappiness. Once that was fixed it was a shallow experience but a lot of people would have been content with it. Instead Hello Games keeps supporting it and putting out new content updates. There are still a lot of features and improvements people would like for the game and those very well may see the light of day with the passion Hello Games has shown for improving it. That’s why so many people think favorably of them. There are a ton of other bigger studios that would never show this level of dedication and community support.
I mean if it actually had good diverse gameplay per character and allowed us to obliterate our surroundings I could see it having a player base for a bit. Trying to balance it would be a nightmare for whatever team was tackling it.
It is possible to commit no mistakes in raising a child and they still be little shits. That is not a weakness; that is life.
Probably a good chunk of it but admittedly it helped me feel confident in using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop. Nothing drives adoption like being able to play video games.
Yeah that’s unfortunately how the industry has been headed for games from major developers and publishers.
Probably so other governments don’t have full access.
I know VScodium doesn’t have the telemetry but is it lacking features regarding account login and extensions?
I’ve been enjoying it on Bazzite OS. When it first launched it took some tinkering to get it running stable with no black screen flickering. After a few hot fixes it started again no matter what I did until I switched to X11 instead of Wayland. Now it runs amazing. The gameplay is rough in areas but what they have so far is great. I’m looking forward to whatever UI and game mechanic improvements they introduce.
Nobara was nice but doing simple tinkering with the theme and startup splash led to some system issues for me. So I had to reinstall a couple of times. But it lead me to realize I really like kde.
Bazzite has been my daily driver for about two weeks and so far I’m finding it to be more stable but still not perfect when it comes to gaming. I can say setup was super smooth and I didn’t have to do anything to jump into playing games with steam. It does have a quirk on my system where the kde taskbar stops visually updating and eventually loses functionality after I exit a game. I can restart kde and that resolves it. It is entirely possible that is a Wayland issue though. When I was using Nobara I had x11 so a little apples to oranges there. It is a bit of a different OS for me since it is a container focused OS. I’m having to get used to it but I think I like it. I think some of the issues I’ve experienced with it are just from my lack of knowledge with how I’m supposed to use it if there are more advanced things I’m trying to do. It has a focus on using flatpak for everything but if you want a package manager you can use containerization to install whichever Linux subsystem and package manager you want and run the applications that way. It’s neat. It’s kind of both easier and more complex at the same time.
Same devs so it absolutely is.
My wife and I enjoy playing 2 together. It’s good stuff.
The thing is at this point with all the effort Microsoft has been putting into making Windows more linux like they could literally make future versions of windows a new Linux distribution and heavily invest in improving wine/proton to run legacy windows applications. That eliminates all those decades of ancient Windows code and keeps compatibility.
What is read-only?
Sometimes. Other times they layoff the QAs and anyone else whose job is about quality.
