It matches for non-primes and doesn’t match for primes.

Another thing that wasn’t mentioned in the video that Proton does is it also – sometimes, depending on the game – checks a list of known requirements for a game and installs them through winetricks, or makes other recommended changes to game files that are known to make the game work.

When Proton is updated and the patch notes mention that a game was fixed, it’s something to do with this part of the process. A certain library, or whatever was missing and Proton installs it for you behind the scenes.

It also runs WINE through Steam’s launcher (aka Steam Linux Runtime) which has some common redistributables (aka Steamworks SDK Redist) built right into it, and it also runs appropriate anti-cheat solutions (aka Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime or Proton BattlEye Runtime).

Good luck getting open source maintainers that aren’t woke. We’re all queer down here!

Garuda has been an A+ gaming distro for me so far, been daily driving it for about 6 months.

I don’t understand the appeal of foldable screen smart phones. Seems like nothing more than a gimmick to me.

If you open /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/main.qml and search for line there’s a section called PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel which seems to correspond with icon text and there’s a line maximumLineCount: 2 you could try reducing that to 1 and it might fix your issue.

It looks like KDE Plasma is based on QT6 and the icons I believe are a QT6 Label so you can also add some styling to it yourself. Here’s the documentation for it: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-controls-label-members.html

There is a property called lineHeight so you could just add that to the PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel and see if that fixes it.

Regardless of who owns the IP, it will open the flood gates of any company suing another for even just taking inspiration from one of their IPs.

While the designs were clearly inspired by Pokemon, I don’t think Nintendo has any leg to stand on in this case. The connection is flimsy at best., but I’m not a lawyer so I dunno, maybe there’s some legal loophole that Nintendo is banking on.

If this case goes in Nintendo’s favour, it could open the door for other lawsuits like Stardew Valley could get sued for infringing on Nintendo’s Harvest Moon IP, for example. I know that’s ludicrous but who knows, the law goes in unexpected directions sometimes.

Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.

I guess it’s not so much RTS. It’s like making hard decisions. It’s a lot like Frostpunk in that way if you’ve played that game. There’s an element of danger and your villagers can easily die, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions or sacrifices.

It’s very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There’s no combat in it at all, it’s just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.

Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.

It’s quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They’ve also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.

There’s quite a lot that can be gleaned from the depots for the game on steamdb: https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/

I don’t know if this information is already public but here are a couple of quick inferences I made by looking a the files. I’m not overly familiar with Valve’s intellectual properties so I don’t recognize any specific characters or franchises.

There’s likely a hero named Yamato who has the abilities:

• Shadow Form
• Power Stance
• Infinity Slash
• Healing Slash
• Flying Strike

There’s a lot more hero information but that’s the top one in the depots.

The game might be called “Citadel”, or it may have just been called that internally at Valve. The reason I suspect that is because of there appears to be a game folder called “citadel” which appears to be the main game folder.

Reminds me of this George Carlin bit:

Have you ever noticed when you’re driving that anyone who’s driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC!

Writers of children’s names books are going to have a field day with the data from this study.

You should go for a distro that matches what you want out of your system. You want stable? Find some strong LTS distro like Ubuntu. You want ULTRA STABLE? Go for an immutable distro. Do you want to use your system for gaming? Go for a distro with wide gaming support, built-in drivers with options for proprietary drivers.

It’s less about what base distro you’re using and more about what you like about that particular flavor of distro.

For example, I use my PC for gaming mostly, but also coding. I switched from Pop! (Ubuntu based) to Garuda (Arch based) and I love it because it’s really good for gaming, comes with Mangohud, Gamemode, Steam, Heroic, controller drivers, graphics drivers, etc, all optionally pre-installed. I also really like KDE apps because they’re performant and slick so I got the Plasma version.

Anyway, yeah, focus less on “this distro is Arch based” and more on what each distro can provide you as far as your personal tastes.

I think she’s your type!

Current Linux market share worldwide for desktops is at ~4%. There’s also ~2% ChromeOS which is Linux based so I don’t know why it’s listed separately. As well as ~6% other which is probably Linux with privacy settings turned on.

If we go back 5 years in Linux desktop usage, the high end is including the “Other” category.

2019: ~2% to ~9% 2020: ~2.5% to ~5% 2021: ~3.5% to ~11.5% 2022: ~4.5% to ~10.5% 2023: ~6.5% to ~10% 2024: ~6% to ~12%

There is definitely a growing trend, the user base has grown somewhere between 33% and 300% depending on whether you include the “Other” category, which I personally think is a pretty safe assumption since for most PC users if it’s not Windows or Os X, it’s Linux.

Here’s where I got the data from: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide

I would argue that Bioshock is one of the few video game franchises that would probably do well in a non-interactive story medium. It’s a very story driven video game. As long as they trust the writers to respect the source material and come up with a compelling story, I think it could be great. There’s always a chance that it’s a disaster though.
