GoG survey: Time to nag them about Linux support
Minigalaxy is great for native apps. Lutris is hit or miss for wine/DVXK.

This is goodbye, but is it forever?
E.g. Minigalaxy offers many of GoG Galaxys features (Tagging /u/anevilduck here in case he doesn't know it) and only has around 13500 lines of Code.

Valve has set the bar pretty high, but It'd be nice if anyone else at least did the bare minimum
The official client isn't, but there is a 3rd party one available for Linux https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy

Thinking of switching to linux
So long as you have a Vulkan capable GPU, you should be able to get almost all GOG games working. You could use Lutris with GOG Galaxy, Lutris with GOG offline installers or MiniGalaxy.

I'm thinking of changing over to Linux exclusively for a gaming exclusive set up. Is this sensible or should I remain on Windows?

Playnite 10 has been released. Open source video game library manager.
Besides there are other projects like https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy that has some of their coding from PlayNite and of their own to work on Linux and there are Tutorials like https://playnite.link/forum/thread-1156.html to make it work nonetheless. Also thanks to Steam's Proton layering, everything is easier at Linux gaming side.

RAR 7.0 Released
Just saying that 7-Zip is great, both the compression (I use it for most of my data archival, because the higher compression ratio is worth the longer times to compress) and the software itself, pretty much what a good archival program on Windows should be like.
On other OSes, I guess I just use whatever is included with the distro, or something like PeaZip: https://peazip.github.io/
Curious to hear from RAR proponents.

A bold new look for the Gov.uk homepage
How about just the blue horizontal bars with white text trend?
https://peazip.github.io/
https://www.izarc.org/
What prompted this standardization of look? Im seeing it all over now. The fact that I could find two archive utility websites, as example should speak to its ubiquity.

How do I find games where my favorite opening got played by a strong player vs a weak player?
An example. Download about 500 mb big archive from https://database.lichess.org/ You will need PeaZip to extract https://peazip.github.io/ Load database in SCID https://scid.sourceforge.net/ Make basic opening moves Search > Current board Database > Export all filter games > export filter to PGN Give it opening name and save Open that just saved database Search > Header and set filter how you like it Database > Export all filter games > export filter to PGN Give it a name and save Now if you want only games with mate, filter it with Scid vs Pc Search > General > End of game > checkmate Tools > Export all filter games > export filter to pgn
- I actually bought a license for WinRAR. AMA
