I just tried it and wow, this works surprisingly great. Pretty snappy, zooming and searching works fine (well, it's using openstreetmap.org for searching, so the results are pretty bad, but that's not the fault of this package).

This is a great plugin. I'm using this to have background blurring with the Linux MS Teams client, which for whatever reason does not support this natively.

I can still buy genuine Lenovo batteries for my Thinkpad T440p from 2014. Yes, they are not cheap (the 9cell battery cost ~140EUR in Germany). I did consider switching the cells myself, but given that a good 18650 costs around 7-8EUR, and a

Yes, that's why you still have these 'ubuntu_12' folders in the Steam installation, since they have never updated this in the past 9 years. So in reality, native Linux development has pretty much failed, and they have put all
