Likely not. I've tried skipping a release once by accident (I didn't pay enough attention) and it ended with a bricked system and a full reinstall. Don't do it.

The one that works best for your use case.

It is not dumb to not know something you haven't been exposed to.

I happen to know multiple people who haven't died.

Fun Home and Are You My Mother? are both superb.

I also personally like Derf Backderf, especially My Friend Dahmer and Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio.

I started reading The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan, the eight book in the Wheel of Time series. And wouldn't you know it, it opens with a brand new group of characters with ambiguous goals. Jordan desperately needed someone to tell him "No."

Oh hell naw, I love to sit back, one hand resting on an arm rest, and just navigating with my mouse. Not that I mind using the keyboard, but I have a strong affinity to the mouse. I know the keyboard is "more efficient", but I'm just more comfortable pointing at things.

The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells.

I just read the graphic novel Morrison Hotel written by Leah Moore, about The Doors album with the same name.

Next up is Hard to Be a God by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. This one has been on my reading list for some time now, and I just stumbled upon it at the library, so that's cool.

You mom may be an expert, but in this I think she's biased.

I always find it really off-putting.

And complete websites implemented in Flash. It is a dark time that I don't like to talk about. The dreams, the dreams won't leave me alone though, they still haunt me.

As much as I miss the early Internet, there's some aspects better left forgotten.

 

From the official release video:

New stuff includes (but is not limited to) tournament mode, correct video renderer (now with 100% more OpenGL), new audio backend, new enemy AI, new release types (e.g. windows ARM), and a kiloton of bugfixes and other minor features. It's been over ten years since the last release, so we got tired of trying to hunt down the full changelog ;)

Note that if you played the automated releases from github, then this probably does not have anything new to you. We just felt we had enough stuff for a new milestone. Also, note thet network play is still currently disabled, as we felt if requires more work before actual playtesting.

The case for Linux and openSUSE is clear. Linux provides viable, cost-effective and sustainable alternatives. Users can enjoy a free, open-source operating system that doesn’t require costly upgrades or restrictive hardware requirements with installing openSUSE. Here are a few things users that want to transition can consider:

  • Complete Transparency: Linux distributions like openSUSE are governed by open-source principles, ensuring clear and consistent development.
  • No Forced Obsolescence: openSUSE supports a wide range of hardware like modern machines to older PCs that allow users to extend the life of their devices.
  • Cost Savings: openSUSE is free to use, with no licensing fees or hidden subscription costs for extended support.

By switching to Linux, users can help combat e-waste as every PC saved from a landfill is a win for the environment.

 

That’s not the end of good news, though – we’re kicking off this year’s Winter Sale with a GIVEAWAY! The Whispered World: Special Edition is up for grabs for the next 72 hours; claim your copy.

 

The openSUSE community is excited to announce the official release of Leap Micro 6.1.

Leap Micro continues its alignment with SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro, ensuring robust container and virtual machine hosting capabilities. The release has a new opensuse-migration-tool, whic simplifies upgrades for smoother transitions between releases. Some enhanced features include soft-reboot support. Two-factor authentication (TOTP) for PAM logins improves security. There are additional tools like vhostmd for SAP Virtualization and improvements to the jeos-firstboot wizard and more.

The release of Leap Micro 6.1 signals the End of Life (EOL) for Leap Micro 5.5. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to either Leap Micro 6.0 or 6.1 to continue receiving updates and support.
