I just started tinkering with this yesterday in Gnome on Pop! and it looked like there are options to exclude certain programs from tiling if that’s what you’re looking for.

I loved DA:O. It was far from perfect, but at the time it was the closest we could get to a spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale - dark fantasy, tactical combat, and a decent story.

Then DA 2 came along and it felt like an entirely different series. I didn’t get it at the time because of how simplified and arcadey it looked. I picked it up on some deep sale and got bored of it pretty quickly.

DA:I seemed to be trending back in the right direction with a bit more tactical combat. I never finished it but it was decent enough on a sale. This looks like they doubled down on DA 2 here and…meh.

Doubtful I would have gotten it anyway since it’s EA but I would have loved to have been proven wrong.

Cool, thanks for that. I read John Romero’s ‘Doom Guy’ earlier this year and it was pretty good. Not perfect, but it fed my nostalgia for the olden days of Commander Keen and Doom.

I think some of the later stuff aged well if you’re into point and click adventure games and some “retro” looking graphics. But the early ones might be a little janky for anyone who didn’t live through that era.

You have to type in the actions you want to do and they looked like this:

Been rocking Pop! with a 3080 for about 3 months with only a few minor gripes. Darktide had some weird tiny lag in it somewhere that I couldn’t nail down but every other game I’ve played has worked just fine. And for some reason if I connect to mullvad using their app before opening Firefox, it’ll lag out for 10-15 secs.

Everything else has been rock solid. I’d prefer KDE to Gnome, but with Dash to Panel, the Pop Gnome is good enough for now. Cosmic should be out relatively soon. I tinkered with Nobara and KDE plasma 6 for a few days but it was nowhere near as stable, so I came right back to Pop.

The Godfather book has a lot of great character nuances but it also has a subplot of Sonny’s enormous dong being the only thing that could satisfy his wife’s bridesmaid’s enormous vagina.

I was all set to correct you. Never realized the Manfred Mann version was a cover.

We had a bootlegged copy of this on VHS when I was a kid and my mother would always make my dad fast forward through the pon farr part…

I did the same a few months back. No problems so far. Some older games require switching up the compatibility layer occasionally but no deal breakers so far.

The “small” games that inspired, if not invented it were Doom and D&D. There was a Doom map called Fortress where you’d attack each other’s base and the further you’d progress into your opponent’s base, the better weapons it’d unlock for them to use.

A few guys in Australia combined the ideas in a Quake mod called Quake Team Fortress. Then they got hired at Valve to remake it on the Half Life engine as Team Fortress Classic.

I have the non-hall version and it worked out of the box on Pop! OS. I already had the dock plugged in when I installed Pop, so ymmv

I feel like they did add that option but it was well after I finished it with the same problem.

Snap is installed, but the default app store, Pop!_Shop, only has .deb and flatpak that I’ve seen.

I’ve been using Pop for a few months as my daily driver to replace Windows. It had been a few years since I’d used Linux and I wanted something stable for Nvidia drivers. I’ve had next to no issues with it.

I think the “Microsoft dilemma” is just called capitalism. If you’re not making all the money, you’re losing the game.

What you’re looking for is called a symbolic link or symlink. It basically creates a shortcut to a folder in another location. Creating the symlink creates a new folder, so you can either use it to link to new subfolders inside the video and music folders in your home or delete the existing video and music folders in your home and use the symlink to recreate them.

This won’t delete the shortcut to Video or Music from your Files browser.

So if your videos are stored in a drive mounted at /mnt/datadrive/videos/ and you want to create a symlink folder called video2 in your home directory you’d run this from your home directory:

ln -s /mnt/datadrive/videos video2

Note there’s no slash at the end of the path for the source folder. I forget why, but you have to leave it off.
