I had switched to HeliBoard in order to de-Google as much as possible. I’m not militant about it, but if there’s an alternative I’ll take it.

Decided to try out FUTO because I felt like I was missing swipe typing. And it’s good. But for me it’s just too much. It turns out I didn’t really miss swipe typing, and (possibly just a me issue) that extra feature was making FUTO much less responsive than Heliboard. So back I went.

I guess for me, simple and fast is more important than replicating my old Gboard experience. But each person is different.

This thread took a strange direction…

I hadn’t noticed. but I have no real comparison since I was on Linux long before starting either title, so I’ve never played either on Windows.

They seem to run well enough, so even if its faster on windows and that’s the tradeoff for having no Windows in my house, I’m cool with it.

I’d say yes; with the mods available 2 is still WELL worth it. i n fact I’m doing yet another play through at this moment.

1 is also excellent, especially with the Long War overhaul installed.

Most of mine have already been mentioned; KSP, Rimworld, Stellaris.

So I’ll add one of my all time favourite games and say XCom and XCOM 2. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into xcom 2 with various mods.

Close second is Crusader Kings 2, and close third after that is Empire Total War.

And of course CIV. It’s not a proper list without CIV.

As long as your web browser can access udev for the controller, just go to Xbox.com/play or something like that. I’m away from my desktop, but I think that’s the address. I’ve done it a few times now.
