    Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

      Such a fun game. I doubt the current ubisoft could create a comparable game. 2 was great for the size of it but felt a little lackluster in immersion, Legion was… ubisoft “capture zone, unlock tower” but cyberpunk-adjacent.

        The sequel disappointed me greatly. Haven’t even played Legion. The original story was so captivating and emotional. Took my by surprise and I was so invested in it.

          Legion is… bad. Every enemy is a bullet sponge, a “nonlethal” stun machine gun takes like 30 rounds to down a non-heavy enemy. it’s just a bunch of cycling through different specific areas, completing the objective , and getting away. The DLC prequel story with Wrench and Aiden is cool, but otherwise its standard ubisoft repetitive shlock.

          The art and environment is beautifully grungy though, and raytracing reflections are gorgeous. The general world building is interesting. There’s just no compelling plot.

          I’d love a big game with T-bone/ray Kenney as the main character (in a different area than Chicago, the second game mentions him messing around in NYC so I could see it), not just a DLC.

        I gave up with ubisoft after seeing that ac mirage had the same level of graphical detail as the original ac, but with a worse campaign, and a higher system requirement

            I’m using plain arch with XFCE4. Also using a 3440x1440 monitor, I don’t really need the space I think

              What do you usually do on your computer? My desktops always fill up after 5 minutes of doing anything, even while using two or more monitors. Also, have you tried kde?

                I usually program or reverse engineer using Ghidra. I have tried KDE, but it feels too fancy for me. I prefer the simple looks of XFCE. Maybe I’m just getting old, sigh.

                But! I have tried virtual desktops and it’s not my thing really.

                  If you know reverse engineering, you most likely know what you’re talking about. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing. That’s something I can agree with.
