I convinced myself that manjaro is less stable than fedora. But not completely. It depends on the device and what is installed on it.

For some reason, I was able to run Manjaro on my hp laptop without issues for a long time. However my brother on his Lenovo laptop, the manjaro update just killed itself after 2 months. And this always after some months the updater would not work anymore.

I then installed Fedora on his laptop, and damn that thing stayed up and running for 2y now. Even after major system update, never broke, and package install always worked, at least when the tutorials are up to date on special things.

Like installing video codecs, I had to do another command which was not mentioned on the fedora docs, in order to switch from ffmpeg libre to ffmpeg. And then the rest of the install commands would work.

I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/Laika_Aged_Through_Blood/

It's the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn't very punishing. The respawn points aren't too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn't that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

But overall these little issues aren't that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.

 

The Steam winter sales are here, up to the 4rth of January.

What game did you enjoy playing and want to share with the community, and why?

It's like a mini (or a bit larger) review for the people in the community to discover your loved game, and get it for a smaller price. Also remember to share a link to the store page to help people find the game.

The game must be on sale currently and must not be a free to play game, or what would be point of this post.

The release date doesn't matter. Neither the sale amount. If you enjoyed the game, it should be shared.

You can put the game type/tags at the beginning of your comment if you wish so, it may help other people.

Please a single game per comment if you post a review.

I'll start in the comments.

And i can say that it is, damn amazing!

There are some little issues with the game tho. It doesn't tell that combo rewards more currency from enemies (it's a timed combo, sho shooting will either increase or refresh the combo, and shooting flying bodies increases the combo up to 2 more times). The ending seems to also be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn't that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

But overall these little issues aren't that bad, and the game is still amazing.

One of your questions don't seem to be that based?

"shits on Linux gamers", are you talking about the store not beeing available on linux? Meh already got heroic which is better.

Their easy anticheat is available through proton tho, it's on the game dev to chose to enable it or not (and I understand why they don't do it for fortnite : the Linux market is pretty small, but also because the game is so huge that hackers will not hesitate a bit to switch to Linux in order to hack with custom kernels).

The issue is that even the same brand can have multiple USB fingerprint scanners, which may not all work.

From a 4y old reddit thread some person found a fingerprint scanner which worked, but some other person who had a similar one didn't get it ot work.

I have no experience for this matter, nor a lot of Linux either, but there seem to be some interesting choices here (there isn't best and worst, it's just a list, and the most adapted to what you need).

Obviously the minimum system requirements should not be your max amount of ram. You need to account for apps or tools you'll run.

I don't understand some things in the water consumption.

Why do they need to humidify the air for the datacenter?

Why is there water consumption for cooling? Aren't they recirculating water used for watercooling? Or are they using f*ing tap water then throwing it out?

Water for electricity production, kinda, yes. Could be indirectly attributed to their water consumption as they are using the electricity produced by the sources using water.

This : https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241

As explained sold to ZipoApps (low quality add ridden shovelware, with extremely high price /week to remove adds, from the git discussion).

From a reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/SimpleMobileTools/comments/18929pq/simplemobiletools_was_sold_alternatives/

There seems to already be a fork : https://github.com/FossifyX

Tho not sure how trusted it can be, but seems to have some hope.

The reddit post also suggests some alternatives. The comments in that post also suggests more alternatives.

Hey on android? Didn't know simplemobiletools was sold. Should be fine if updates are disabled from play store and only f-droid versions are used.

But for alternatives :

For a gallery app, I find Aves to look pretty good and has many great features https://github.com/deckerst/aves

If you need gallery (still not that great yet) & backup : ente gallery (there are other ente apps too) https://ente.io/

For a calendar no idea.

I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible.

In a 14 minutes video, I got 5 ads. 1 (or more skippable once) at the beginning, 1 during the first half of the video, 2 during the second half, and 1 at the end.

All were skippable after 5 sec.

2 were close together at about 1 min interval during the second half of the video.

But that is not the only issue. 4 of those ads (not the last one at the end), were Israeli hate/war anti-hamas propaganda.

I consider these ads horrible and they should not be allowed in my opinion.

 

My previous account was on compuverse.uk, tho since about 1 week I cannot access the instance at all. I suppose either the hosting service destroyed it. The maintainer disappeared Or there are bigger issues about cloudflare routing or server issues.

There was a point where it was taking way too long to load, and then nothing. It is in accessible for me. I cannot access it through a vpn either.
