  • OpenSuse (back then the “normal” one, then Leap and now the rolling release Tumbleweed). It just works really well and keeps on trucking. Updated my old machine for ten years through all the openSuse releases without reinstalling. The repositories are very well kept in order and the build service easily provides anything I might find lacking.

    Also, I quite like using Yast for system administration. There are many areas that I rarely touch and having a GUI available is super helpful.





  • Yup I’m hit by the exact same bug currently. But I was able to go back to before I updated with Snapper and now I’ll wait until the fix is in the Tumbleweed repos.

    But other than that I’m much happier with the AMD than with my Nvidia (on Linux that is). VRR with Wayland on multiple monitors just works without issues. And before this week I never had any issues at all with the 7800XT.






  • “Regrettably, due to an upcoming technical change to Amazon Web Services, affecting our ability to serve necessary game files to new users, these titles are to be withdrawn from the Steam store. Please be assured that existing players can continue to enjoy these games without interruption.”

    lol that’s the lamest excuse for “we don’t give a shit about the game anymore, bye” I have ever read. Blaming an obscure AWS change for them pulling it…

    Stay tuned for Molyneux’ next stinker he will surely now announce in the coming weeks.


  • I played that game on my m100, M125, Zire71 and on my final Palm device: the LiveDrive. That’s an awesome achievement and I congratulate you on your endurance. I think the only time I bought a wasp was by cheating (editing the save game, I think?). Man, all those names in your post really bring back old memories I thought forgotten - from an era of the internet long, long gone. Thank you. Wasn’t there a tribbles event in that game, too?

    If I ever get to making my own space game I’ll surely put in some references to Space Trader. The only gaming achievment I had back then was a +800 winning streak in a freecell game but that got lost when my device died.
