The right answer is definitely not landfill.

Most people use their computers to run a web browser, maybe a word processor or media player, and… not much else. Even someone who has only used Windows can figure out those basics on a Linux desktop.

If the charities are unable/unwilling to provide support for Linux, they could give computers away on Craigslist before dumping more e-waste into our environment.

As someone who runs multiple desktop sessions at once, each on a different virtual console, sddm is a continual pain in my workflow. Notably:

• It assigns desktop sessions to virtual consoles inconsistently, and has no way to manually configure them, so Control+Alt+FN often switches to a session that’s not the one I wanted. The assignments can change from day to day or any time a session logs out and back in. This makes using multiple desktops a constant pain.
• I don’t know for sure, but I suspect it is behind the graphical glitch that makes the desktop session unlock screen draw incredibly slowly on KDE 5. Having to wait several seconds for each character in my passphrase to register is an annoying waste of time.

Wow… Given that the GPU was released just a few days ago, that’s impressive for open-source drivers. Thanks for posting this.

Lenval Brown, who voiced the narrator in Disco Elysium, will return for Hopetown and voice a key character.

That man’s voice was amazing in Disco Elysium’s opening:

Well, look at that. The Kiwix offline reader is in Debian already, so getting it couldn’t be more convenient.

Thanks!

Is an archive of their repair manuals available for download? Would you mind sharing the link?

Most modern SSDs are NVMe devices, so your question doesn’t really make sense.

Do you mean between an HDD and and SSD?

Or maybe a SATA SSD and an NVMe SSD?

Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.

Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:

Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.

Gog funds Heroic.

By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?

Does the US have whistleblower protection laws that would make it easy for a judge to rule this illegal?

Unfortunately, that doesn’t help, since most DVDs in the world were not manufactured in the first production run.

No, it is not. I just scrutinized half a dozen DVD cases with a magnifying glass. They had copyright dates, but no disc manufacturing dates.

I wonder if the numeric codes printed around the hubs of the discs can be decoded into manufacturing dates.

There are also GUI launchers that can download from GOG:

Thank you for saving me the time it would have taken to check it out. I don’t buy Denuvo games.

Affiliate links are not business partnerships. Does Heroic have anything more than that with GOG?

EDIT: The answer is no, GOG is not partnered with Heroic Games Launcher.

How does one find the manufacturing date of the discs?

The CDC site provides the missing answer to the obvious question:

As of March 6, 2025, a total of 222 measles cases were reported by 12 jurisdictions: Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington.

Just stating the year would have been more helpful. Especially for those of us short on time, but wanting to make a note of the film without having to read seven paragraphs right now.

Which one? IMDB lists four films by that name.

Meatbags have to enter coordinates into those, too.
