The single player mode was decent. I like the career structure, it’s something unique compared to most other racing games’ checklists of events.

Driving physics were a minor improvement over Heat, which was already solid on that front (especially compared to the train wrecks of NFS '15 and Payback).

Contrary to most NFS fans, I wish they leaned more into the cartoon/anime aesthetic, something closer to Auto Modellista. I’m guessing EA didn’t want to risk it though, so Unbound’s aesthetic feels a little half-assed as a result.

Car customization is great as expected, Ghost nailed this in NFS '15 and basically copy/pasted the same system into everything since, which I’m fine with.

The multiplayer is live service garbage and I’m very disappointed that all post-launch updates have ignored the single player mode entirely… Or maybe I should be happy that they didn’t incorporate live service garbage into the single player…

Overall, 7.5/10 if you ignore the multiplayer. It’s Ghost’s best game.

I yearn for Fedora

When CPUs were a lot slower you could genuinely get noticeable performance improvements by compiling packages yourself, but nowadays the overhead from running pre-compiled binaries is negligible.

Hell, even Gentoo optionally offers binary packages now.

That’s easy, just pick btrfs, gnome, pipewire, systemd, gdm, grub, and add flatpak in your additional packages.

Every other configuration is wrong.

Now imagine the same meme but with Gentoo and LFS

Fedora/dnf makes installing additional desktops super easy, also with no risk to data. To hijack your comment a bit:

To install Plasma: sudo dnf install @kde-desktop

Logout and log into the Plasma session to use it.

To rollback, get the transaction ID of the above: dnf history list

And then rollback: sudo dnf history rollback <ID>

If Gnome’s fonts/icons don’t revert, install and open gnome-tweaks and reset settings.

Yeah if you’re looking for a traditional/Windows-like metaphor, you’re WAY better off with Plasma than trying to wrestle Gnome into that shape.

Definitely worth a try, especially if it’s been a few years since you’ve last played with it.

I’m amazed by the level of polish overall, I’ve encountered very little jankiness that used to be super common with Plasma when I last tried it. Plasma feels like a really mature desktop now, which is awesome. I’m running Plasma 6.2 at the moment, and I think 6.3 is right around the corner as well.

My problems so far are more subjective. Gnome may be a very opinionated desktop, but I happen to agree with most of its opinions. Gnome’s workspaces feature is miles better than Plasma’s virtual desktops, which feel tacked on in comparison. I’m still trying to tinker with this to make it work for me, but honestly this seems like the thing that will push me back to Gnome if I don’t find a workflow I like.

KDE obviously has more features overall though, HDR support happens to be the one that I’m interested in at the moment since I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a new monitor.

Ironically most of my customization so far has been to make it more like Gnome lmao

Still trying to figure out how to make workspaces/virtual desktops more…usable.

Overall though it’s amazing how solid Plasma is now, it sure as hell isn’t the buggy mess it used to be in the earlier Plasma 5 days.

The biggest problem to me was the official Proton reddit account making an official statement agreeing with Andy. Andy blamed this on a “miscommunication” and it has since been deleted, but probably only because of the backlash they were receiving.

Holy shit he’s still arguing with people about this today?

Ubuntu in Nobody (slightly nsfw), great movie too.

It checks all the boxes. Pinging some random IP, checking their python version, installing pip updates, the output of ls -l /etc, all in a virtualbox VM. Clearly a professional hacker. /s

i’m on a diet, i’ll just take the crackers

sudo eat | grep -v "Chocolate Cream"

Early release is a nice surprise, especially after F40 (or was it 39?) got delayed so many times. Upgrade went smooth for me, upstream accent colors are nice to finally have. Kind of a bummer it doesn’t apply to Nautilus icons though.

it’ll usually be the artist’s name. Like if you search for “Taylor Swift”, you’ll get exactly zero results because that phrase is blacklisted due to a complaint from the label. If you instead search for a specific song, you will see results, and can work backwards from there to find the album you’re looking for.

The last time I had trouble finding something on Soulseek, it was an album that had released a month or two ago, so it might’ve still been too new.

Yeah, I’ve had to use that blacklist workaround on many occasions, lol
