There are a non-insignificant number of people who want it to be, and frankly it would be good to have the competition in the market space if only to keep the other players honest.

Almost any discussion about another popular OS has a few token “switch to Linux” comments. I see people often using the phrase “The Year of Linux” after that other OS does something unfavorable in hopes to see a massive migration.

So there’s a desire for it to become popular. Maybe it will never replace that other OS, but that doesn’t mean it can’t compete for the desktop OS space.

The disregard for simplicity and/or outright hostility towards ease of use and centralizing settings I see in the comments here is the primary reason Linux will never replace that other OS as the home computer OS. This culture of elitism, and yes it is elitism, is harmful to that cause. I see this attitude almost every time someone expresses frustration towards Linux for an issue that other OSs have overcome (or significantly lessened) literally decades ago.

There is, arguably, a sense of entitlement for wanting free software developers to ‘do the thing’, but that’s not a Linux problem. Free software exists on all platforms, and those developers still manage to follow the OS’s design philosophy.

The standard user should never, ever, ever have to use a CLI for anything ever, nor should they need to have a Linux Guy on speed dial to be able to solve a basic general issue. You might argue that an issue on those other OSs might need someone to open a CLI or dig into a settings file to fix, but those times are so few and far between that the average user may never have to do it in their lifetime. Meanwhile it seems like every solution to a Linux issue begins first thing with opening terminal.

User friendly flavors of Linux have made great strides towards making things much closer to those other OS design philosophies, and that’s great, but they’re not quite there yet. I’m also not saying every flavor of Linux needs to follow this pattern, as not every problem calls for a hammer. The problem is that Linux is still very much a Wild West OS where anything goes, hidden behind a roughly painted GUI facade.

I want to switch, but every flavor I’ve tried so far has not been compatible with my twin graphic cards.

It depends on what version of the game the copy you acquired came from.

If it’s from the Early Access or any version of the game prior to the launch version, then no, your saves will not transfer. That is true of legit copies of the game as well. From Early Access to Launch, customers are required to delete their previous saves.

If it’s a modded copy, in that it includes modded stuff that isn’t available in the main game, such as changing values, skills, monsters, etc, then your save will most likely be broken at best or cause crashes at worse.

If it’s just a cracked version of the full release, then there probably won’t be anything stopping you from using the same save files, depending on where the cracked version stores its saves mind you.

Why does this article (and everyone else) seem to pretend like Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 didn’t exist?
Or how games like Neverwinter Nights came before Dragon Age Origins?

This is great!

Could you also not show a link to shorts? I could also do without those.

Closed for AC, but open a crack to let the clingy cat in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out.

This is a non-issue. Provide the chronological feed and let people choose how they want to consume their content.

I’ve watched someone I know who only gets their news through Facebook descend into qdom over the last 5 years. Whenever I hear about a new thing conservatives are doing or saying, I can be sure that person will be doing or saying it within a week… which then feeds right back into Facebook for others.

And he never grew up from then.

How many of them work?
