fuck them

actually, yes. you test solutions „manually“ on servers and then roll them out with ansible across the whole infrastructure, neatly kept and carefully maintained in your local git instance. like raking a zen garden sometimes

and forgot or ignored that it often is not the dev who gets most of the money at all but publishers like ea and ubisoft. why should customers act in defense of those companies who actively try and make gaming worse for everyone?

an indie dev paying 30% is expensive but steam is really a premium platform for distributing games. it would be nice if it were cheaper but I don‘t really understand the outrage here

i dont know what you are using but the general linux experience hasn’t been like this in years. and even if there is a problem now and then a bit of googling generally is all it needs. the one thing you cannot get around is malware like kernel level anticheats. that’s windows only.

having a backup is good advice no matter what system you use

the homm3hd and hota mod keeps it alive

technically nothing but it serves as a privacy respecting alternative to meta/google controlled messengers.

things like mastodon and pixelfed are rather easy to wrap your head around and replace their big tech counterparts with if you are the average user.

there is no real replacement for an instant messaging/sms like experience. matrix is at the moment still a bit too complicated to get into if you have come to expect a workflow like: download an app -> write your phone contacts a message.

so although it is not federated it is the best we have got at the moment in my opinion

fuck sony

a wild guess: try setting LD_PRELOAD=“” %command% Im on mobile and cannot look things up properly but that fixed some weird behaviour for me

i wanted to move my google stuff to Proton this year as a Backup for my self hosted stuff. Shame, seems like I need to put a little more time into managing my self hosted stuff

i wouldn’t generally say not ready for newbies. It depends on your hardware and your individual way of doing things.

you cannot just expect that year or decade long windows habits translate seamlessly to Linux. so there will be a bit of a wall to climb for most people and many failed attempts. that is ok. just try again if you feel like it and you will arrive eventually with a hell of a new computer related problem solving skillset you automatically pick up along the way

or they could - and this is radical but hear me out - develop games people in the pc market actually want to play.

lol

this is awesome

i think the biggest issue is that you only can buy it on playstation (for 80€ no less) and epic. I would love to play it but am not willing to pay any money via the epic store which doesnt even have a linux client

I’m at the moment quite sick of competetive multiplayergames in general. If you have to resort to malware to thwart cheating in a cost effective way maybe the very Concept of anonymous(as in playing with randoms instead in small communitys on moderated servers) multiplayer itself is flawed

I switched a year or so ago and never looked back. there will be issues you need to overcome though. so better start with dualboot before windows 10 is eol

KDE plasma is one of the main reasons the linux desktop is so extremely good for me.

if you think so too, please consider donating to the project

an sich klingt es sinnvoll auf einem alkoholfest, das bewusst auf exzessiven konsum und gegen jede form von moderaten mengen(bier wird in Litern ausgeschenkt) ausgelegt ist, den Mischkonsum von drogen möglichst zu beschränken. der beinahe absurd religiöse hass gegen jede art von nicht alkohol/tabak drogen seitens der behörden und Politik trägt aber echt nicht dazu bei, eine sinnvolle regulierung zu finden.

KDE with version 6 is where it’s at. at least for me. youncan use the default or put hours into customizing. gnome is nice, too but bothers me because i want to minimize, maximize and control things like the volume without barriers. but that is personal preference. choose what you Like. if you arent happy or just curious you can always Switch
