Try resetting your Firefox profile. Sometimes a weird setting can break browsers in spectacular ways.

This was a big one for me, for the longest time I could not figure out why I couldn't get YouTube to play videos over 1080p for me in Firefox on my PC, it ended up being some weird setting that I changed in about:config (I sadly cannot recall which one) a long time ago - but I'd always copied my Firefox profile with me so that bad setting stuck around.

Oh wow, I didn't expect another release so quickly! Props to the COSMIC team! I can't recall where the roadmap for the features and their targeted releases went, but I hope we can get Night Light/Blue Light filtering soon.

I also did not know they had a Mastodon account, thanks for the shout so that I could give 'em a follow.

Ah gotcha, fair enough!

Just in case you (or anyone else) weren't aware, Rocket League can still be played perfectly on Linux via Steam by just force enabling Proton - however nonetheless I 100% agree.

Destiny definitely isn't in its greatest state right now (and honestly, hasn't been in a while).

The answer to why they haven't "ended it yet" is: Because it still makes them money.

Realistically though, if you look at any big discussion for a game you'll always find people who dislike it (because they tend to be louder than the people who are spending their time playing the game instead).

Not really a fan of the author's attitude at the start (I'm not quite sure how I'd describe it, but it certainly feels off...) - however I do agree with the premise. Even if Microsoft stops allowing kernel level anti-cheat to happen (and honestly I'll believe it when I see it), that doesn't mean that game developers/publishers who are hostile to Linux players are suddenly going to go "Oh! Well in that case..."

I'd be incredibly happy to be wrong in this case, but as of how the current landscape is, I just don't see it changing. They'll just find some other BS reason to exclude Linux players.

I stopped purchasing games that weren't compatible with Linux long ago, and the one holdover I had was Destiny 2 - but the game's major story has come to an end, which makes it a great time for me to drop it too.

IIRC they also just recently launched a new setting that allows you to permanently set the target resolution for all games (this might still only be in the beta branch though).

Previously you had to go into each game's settings from Steam, and change the resolution there (which might be how you missed it).

It depends on who you're referring to as a casual user. My mother for example would certainly have a hard time with it, then figuring out the key to bring up the boot menu (and being faced with a scary dialog that they've never seen), then selecting the right device, then likely being faced with GRUB which would also look scary to her, and by then she'd be overwhelmed before even getting to the install portion.

This is what I've been playing too, and I'm having an absolute blast with it!

I'd recommend using ROCM through a Distrobox container, personally I use this Distrobox container file and it has suited all of my needs with Stable Diffusion so far.

That is, if you're still interested in it - I could totally understand writing it off after what happened 😅

This is fantastic, congratulations!

I usually just get by with Alacritty and Zellij, pairs pretty well together.
