F11 Toggles full screen. F10 will reset the zoom so that everything will appear the default size. The mouse scroll wheel controls the zoom level.

I don't get crashes when placing civilizations. Instead it hangs for me, using up a CPU core.

Did you report it, and post a save?

I cannot post a save because the world is not created. Perhaps with advanced world-gen it might be possible to create a reproducible seed. I have not yet reported it.

same here, using linux version if that matters.

I tried the linux version and the window version using wine. both have the same error, repeatedly. I did eventually manage to generate a couple worlds.

The one thing you can do on your desktop is get faster/lower latency memory. It should make the biggest difference of any component for DF. I don't have numbers to back that up though.

It will allow longer history and larger embarks, as it prevents the application from running out of memory and crashing.

IMO, it most likely will make the game net slower. There are benefits from using a more modern compiler, and more registers, but because of the heavy memory access of DF, I suspect it will be most effected by the fact that it will use more memory.

I suspect the biggest trouble with plumbing is getting it to link up and in generated forts.

One thing came to my mind when i was reading changelog about assimilating:

When a creature joins your fort and isn't assimilated yet and then happens to get a mood, does it create an artifact a dwarf would make or does it make an artifact related to items of former civilization this creature belonged to?

More likely the would simply be ineligible for moods.

And second just in-case that first one does get thrown out.  Will races without alcohol_dependent eventually take offence when visiting your fortress if there is no water whatsoever available, or will they perfectly happy to drink mug after mug like water like our dwarves do?

Historically, water was unsafe to drink, so booze, possibly watered down, was the norm. Maybe elves wouldn't mind drinking crudely filtered swamp water, but it hardly seems right for them to expect it.
