My thoughts:
- I think the progress windows look a lot nicer.
- Dialogues automatically adjust according to what text is inside aiding in readability.
- Yad allows for much more scripting options which translates to more features for our applications.
Trial will last as long as you are happy to run this version of Install Updates.
Looking forward to your feedback and opinion.

I cant find any downloader with proper integration extension and a multithreading support
...all the download managers are bad and don't have integration tools or are actually trial only ... can you mind telling me people what the download manager you are using ...(if any)

Hey guys and gals, I like it when gaming devs support the Linux platform natively. Just wanted to let you know about Autonauts if you haven't heard about it yet - it's a world-building game - If you like Factorio / Kerbal Space Program / Minecraft you'll probably love it. I wanted to share the info since I know that some of you like Linux games. You can find it over at https://denki.itch.io/autonauts. I haven't had a chance to get to play it myself yet, but it looks pretty awesome and well-thought-out.
They state they are committed to developing for Linux but that they lack testers: Quote:Also, the Linux version is still untested by us (because we don't have Linux) but feedback so far suggests that it's working well enough, so we'll keep supplying a Linux version with every update
- from the Autonauts website referenced above).
FYI - They're also in the middle of Kickstarter campaign, interestingly, which offers some pretty neat perks like some extra votes in dev polls, etc etc. (If you're interested in checking that out, it's at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/149.../autonauts.)
Anyhow, it's nice to see people actually actively developing modern games for Linux in the here-and-now, as opposed to just porting old games over (although there's nothing wrong with that either!)

They say better late than never ...
well, at least I have an excuse that my first days with linuxlite (and Linux) was some sort of hard.....
and now after only 2 weeks I am even helping people solve basic problems ... even that I liked this forum so much that I decided never to leave it...even if I left all Linux(very impossible)
anyway, lets make it ordinary again ...
I am MohammedKhaled .. a man from Egypt ... studies all his primary years in an international school in KSA .. which made him a little bit exceptional (or maybe that's his ego) loves English even more than how he loves people.... even that he talks with himself in English .... a fast learner that loves tech ... especially android and mobiles ..(that's why I am familiar with many concepts in Linux) .. o
ok at last ..even that it's just my first month .. am so willing to help and I can help you with anything in Linux(not code related) ... I am active almost all on the day .. and thanks
