I'm watching it from a distance to see how things go. I'm a fan of the Dune books and the new movies as well, so the world would be interesting to explore. Unfortunately everything I've seen of it gives me the feeling that it should have been a single player game instead.

What they mentioned about the player built houses was the first thing I thought of when I heard you could build your own. There's going to be huge amounts of clutter everywhere you can build!

Ubuntu was my first when I started poking around with it. Not sure which version, but it was during the Unity era. Pop!_OS was the one I started using when I switched full time. I'm still using it on my main computer, but I'm also using Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, and Mint on other devices because I like variety!

0 A.D. just released a new version today with some interesting changes.

The features they mention on the news page:

  • Vulkan Renderer
  • Multiplayer Savegames
  • Tips & Tricks Page
  • Naval Overhaul
  • Observer Flares
  • New random maps: Foothills, Migration, Coast Range; New skirmish map: Isthmus of Corinth; and updated skirmish maps: Watering Holes, Sporades Islands
  • New and updated art

It's not mentioned in the features list, but I'm interested in the changes they've made to some of the civilizations. The Spartans, Romans, Athenians, and Macedonians all have had changes to make them more unique, which should make the gameplay a little more interesting. The new maps will be nice to try as well to give a bit more variety.

If you enjoy RTS games like Age of Empires and similar, it might be worth a try!

I'm happy to see they won! It's amazing how low Nintendo can go.

If I remember right, about a year ago they were banning a lot of Linux players. It might be happening again.

I'm trying to get the Star Trek community on Lemmy.zip back up and running. Stop by if you're looking for a place to chat about Star Trek!

It's sad seeing some of the actors starting to pass. He was a highlight for me too. I had mentioned on a comment a while back that his song playing right after Nog lost his leg was one of my favorite uses of music in Star Trek. The follow-up episode is also one I've watched many times. A lot of good memories.

You'll be missed Vic.

I primarily prefer it because it does pretty much all the Minecraft stuff I want it to do, and it's got other games available as well. Plus, completely Linux compatible and no Microsoft account!

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

Blue Origin needs to get a viable alternative flying before they start trying to take down the competition!

Check out Ventoy! Unless you need a single ISO on the drive, it's just something you install to it and then copy and paste ISOs to the folder on it. No flashing needed, it runs them for you. I've got 128GB drives almost filled with every ISO I could possibly want.

Pop doesn't use stock Gnome, there's a lot of modifications to it. They're also working on their own DE for future releases, called Cosmic.

Linux is designed to give you freedom to change things to your liking, and Canonical and many other distro teams obviously feel they can improve Gnome.

I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.
