Yeah, I briefly tried out Noctalia, Caelestia and DMS and chose DMS. They all feel a bit too bloated for me, but on this PC I can't be bothered to setup all the utilities manually. It has worked just fine but I can unfortunately feel the QT framework.

Top-selling video games ever (2025)

Not a good chart. They mix franchises and titles in the same chart which is a strange choice. Mario Kart 8 certainly did not sell that much, seeing as there are only 13 million Wii U's. They meant Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch. They also got the wrong logo for Super Mario Bros, somehow. It's the New Super Mario Bros. logo but with the "New" cut out.

e: I was wrong about the SMB logo, it did look like that ingame, just not on the box art.

I don't really like to talk about it on here because people are very hostile towards GNOME and its users, but I used it (extensionless, tweakless) for about 4 years up until recently. Very comfy and efficient workflow in my opinion. I think a lot of people don't take the time to understand how it works, they get frustrated and want their alt-tabbing and minimizing back. Either way I don't really care. No emotional attachment to any DE, and I use neither GNOME nor Plasma right now.

I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don't "clean" it regularly, like on Windows.

Virtual Game Cards are now Live

So, I have two consoles. A regular Switch that I use docked only, and a Lite for portable. Switching between them was always cumbersome due to cloud saves (they fail 1/20 times so I got used to always updating them manually), but this adds yet another step (it's actually 4 screens to go through, with loading between two of them).

Not to mention, if the console with the virtual card is offline, and you wanna play the game on the other console – you can't. If you or Nintendo are having connection issues, you can lose access to your downloaded digital games.

Another problem is if you lose physical access to a console with virtual game cards on it. The games are then gone with the console.

I've been a strong Nintendo supporter (monetarily) for years, having played through just over 100 games in this setup, so this is very, very disappointing to me.
