Bleeding Edge doesn’t have one.ĭespite being a pretty and well-polished multiplayer game, Bleeding Edge’s steam figures don’t look too great, with the all-time peak standing at 828 and its concurrent players dropping to around 200-300 only a week after its launch (the concurrent player count is now at 28 as of June 15th 2020). Even the most hyper-casual audience needs to test players’ skills in some way unless there’s a strong progression system to keep them engaged. Overall, no competitive multiplayer game can succeed when it has little individual skill expression and nothing for players to learn. There are no salient kill feeds or combo or heat meters that would make it feel as if the player was actually accomplishing something by playing. This is only made worse by the lack of arcadey systems in an otherwise arcadey game. The game also offers little match-specific or meta-progression, which are necessary to draw in players if no engaging skill-checks are present.

Unfortunately, a lack of skill-checks means that good map design is basically impossible anyways and, more importantly, that the game doesn’t offer any exciting combat puzzles that would usually provide a reason to play and master the game. One reason for this is that maps are mostly flat and open assortments of seemingly randomly placed assets, so they don’t create the engaging funnels and tactical puzzles that other competitive multiplayer games do. The "caveat" here is, that you need to know exactly which packages need to be upgraded.Bleeding Edge isn’t doing great in terms of numbers, despite being a highly polished game made by a top AA studio.
#BLEEDING EDGE INSTALL#
The targeted approach he mentions above means:ĭo not assign a priority to backports, instead install needed packages from backports on a package-by-package basis, using e.g.Īpt-get install -t buster-backports linux-image-amd64 Result: Much newer drivers, firmwares, kernels, and everything that comes trickling back down into stable.Ĭomments from don’t need a wholesale “upgrade” to backports to get new laptops working, a more targeted approach works just fine", also As documented on the backports site, “It is therefore recommended to only select single backported packages that fit your needs, and not use all available backports.”
#BLEEDING EDGE UPDATE#
Now run this command to update your system: apt-get update & apt-get clean & apt-get upgrade & apt-get clean & \Īpt-get autoremove -purge & apt-get dist-upgrade & apt-get clean & \

etc/apt/preferences.d/99-prefer-backports with these contents: Package: * You could run Debian stable with backports enabled and -if aware of the possible caveats- prioritized:įor Debian Buster, add this line into your apt sources: deb buster-backports main contrib non-freeĪnd make it the preferred source by creating an apt policy file, e.g. I’m not aware of any other Debian derivative with newer packages of its own ( i.e. Ubuntu provides some packages in newer versions, and its six-month release cadence might be more appropriate for you, but the vast majority of its packages come from Debian and aren’t newer than the versions in Sid. But that doesn’t make up for the above if you really want a distribution with GCC 12, glibc 2.33, and version 5.13-rc6 of the kernel.

Other packages can lag behind upstream due to lack of maintenance in such cases, the fix is ideally to get involved with Debian’s development and help update them. might not be uploaded to Sid as quickly as you’d like or expect. many of the larger packages are constantly maintained with an eye on the next release, so for example new versions of the C library, the kernel, GCC etc.when the next version of Debian is frozen (which is currently the case, for Debian 11), package uploads to Sid are supposed to provide fixes or issues in the frozen release, so new upstream releases are no longer uploaded there (you can find some in experimental, but not all).Even Sid, as you say, basically because it’s not a distribution itself, but the “place” where the future release of Debian is developed as a result of that: Much as I love Debian, it isn’t the right distribution for you if you’re after a distribution that’s “as bleeding edge as possible”.
