They posted an update, an official statement said that a victims face was overlaid over the artwork.

So while this probably seemed ridiculous, there was a valid reason.

Debian is generalist, with it's strongest strength being it's stability. That said, I'm not sure who I would recommend it to. Zorin or Mint would be better for new linux users, and Debian's slower updates mean it will fall behind other distros for anyone wanting games. Also the rise of immutable distros means that it's stability isn't as much of a selling point as it used to be, if I'm worried about a kid messing up the install an immutable distro would be better than Debian probably.

I have a lot of respect for Debian, but the main people I hear using it these days are more experienced linux users who want to settle down (done distro hopping) and just have a reliable computer for non-gaming stuff.

Android open source project. It's the base behind every android variation, but it has pretty generic software (although sometimes better than the alternatives companies choose to ship instead).

I feel like this is virtue signaling more than actually addressing a real problem with Clair Obscur.

You can supposedly fix this by setting environmental variables in Heroic. Go to the game in heroic>advanced>environmental variables (wiki page)

Then do the following variable:

Key: LANG, Value: en_US.UTF-8

Key: LC_ALL, Value: en_US.UTF-8

Key: LANGUAGE, Value: en_US:en

They are releasing lots of open weight models. If you want to run AI stuff on your own hardware, Chinese models are generally the best.

They also don't care about copyright law/licensing, so going forward they will be training their models on more material than Western companies are legally able to.

People with high end systems (5090s etc) are apparent having a lot of performance issues, and are unable to run the game at 60fps/4k without AI upscaling or frame generation.

There's also a lot of complaints about stuttering, and the game wouldn't launch at all for a lot of people when it first came out.

Wine is a compatibility layer, it works as a translator to let windows programs run on linux. You can think of it like having a translator who allows two people with different languages to talk to each other and work together.

WinBoat is completely different, this is actually running full windows in the background, and then only displaying the apps you want from it. There will be significantly more system resources used, and you won't be able to run windows apps until the windows VM has started in the background, adding a startup delay. However the advantage is that it will support more software than wine does, with fewer issues.

Wine will always be the better option when it works, but for stuff that doesn't work this is a decent option.

Unfortunately I haven't used it either, so I can't answer your questions on this. I don't have a personal need for any windows apps on my machines, outside of steam games.

WinBoat or WinApps might work for you. They're very similar in function afaik, they both run a windows vm hidden in the background and integrate the windows apps alongside your Linux programs. It's supposed to be fully compatible with all windows program except kernel anti-cheat.

WinBoat is newer and I think offers a nicer interface and a lot easier setup, WinApps is older so may be easier to find support/documentation on. I'd probably recommend starting with WinBoat first.

They were considering blocking Google from paying Mozilla to be the default search engine, which is almost all of Firefox 's revenue.

It kinda makes sense, chome being the dominant browser gives Google a search advantage, and the other alternatives (like safari and Firefox) both make deals with Google to have it be the default as well.

But removing those deals would be more disastrous for Firefox than for Google.

We avoided the worst outcome, they were considering killing Firefox to prevent a Google internet monopoly.
