Hm, maybe A?

Age of Empires

Anno

Assassin’s Creed

Aloft

Against the Storm

Across the Obelisk

Hm, E would be a good option as well

Elden Ring

Elder Scrolls

Europa Universalis

Endless (Space, Legend)

As a side note, would “Sid Meier’s Civilization V” count as “s” or “c”?

I think “speed up Wayland development” isn’t quite right, tho it will probably feel that way to end user. It’s about getting experimental protocols into the hands of users in a formalized manner while the stable protocol is still being forged. This already exists in certain forms e.g. HDR support being added before the protocol is finalized, but having a more formalized system is probably pretty helpful for interoperability, e.g. apps having to work with different DE’s.

My biggest is concern is whether there’s a possibility this will actually slow down Wayland development by pulling attention away from the stable Wayland protocols in favor of Frog Protocols. But hopefully the quicker real world usage of the new protocols will bring more benefits than the potential downside.

Property tax is a wealth tax, not an unrealized gain tax. You still pay if your property value goes down, you just pay less.

In the long-term yes, but in the short-term and even medium-term, housing takes time to build, so there’s going to be a lag. During that lag, it can cause problems even without NIMBY policies.

For a very long time people will also still need to understand what they are asking the machine to do. If you tell it to write code for an impossible concept, it can’t make it. If you ask it to write code to do something incredibly inefficiently, it’s going to give you code that is incredibly inefficient.

The last commit was two days ago and the last update was two months ago (at least for me on Android).

While this is still a massive problem, it does require a public fork at some point. So if you have a private repo that has never had a public fork, you should be safe.

Linux may very well not be for you, but using Arch first is like jumping into the deep end to learn how to swim. It’s no surprise you’re drowning. I’d recommend you try a gaming-focused distro like Nobara before you go back to Windows for good.

Oh yeah, to be clear I don’t think Macs can’t be good gaming machines, it’s just that it doesn’t seem to be heading that way right now.

Windows has one major thing going for it: it’s best-in-class for gaming. It might even be the greatest gaming platform of all time. Linux and even Mac are gaining ground, but they’ve got a little ways to go.

…is Mac gaming actually gaining ground? From listening to a friend of mine who has a Mac, it sounds like Mac gaming is going steadily backwards. Wine and similar doesn’t work very well for them, and Mac compatibility is happening with fewer and fewer games. Game Porting Toolkit isn’t really for end users, is it? Is there something else my friend is missing?

Noveau is terrible for gaming. If you want any kind of reasonable gaming experience you’ll need the propietary Nvidia driver (for now).

Even if it wasn’t a gimmick, it still wouldn’t be benevolent. Corporations only lower prices when they think the lower price can make them more money overall.

This is a great list of USB wifi adapter chipset compatibility.

Just to clarify, a few airplanes still use leaded gasoline. The vast majority do not.

I believe that the custom for a lot of wine patch notes is just to mention the first application reported with the bug even if it affects many applications. So that could be what’s happening here.

That said, Valve does not support the official Ubuntu way of installing Steam, which is via snap (‘apt install steam’ will install the snap). So you have to make sure to install the Steam way (manually via the deb) instead.

Yeah, Wine is very strict about this; IIRC if you’ve ever even looked at the leaked Windows XP source code, you’re not allowed to work on Wine.

That girl seems to have dodged a bullet.

Diversity is a huge strength of Linux. We should encourage users to use whatever works for them.
