People are right about flatpak - it will generally keep stuff out of your actual root/home directory. But like you implied, the steam flatpak is unofficial so you may run into issues. With that said, I’ve used it and know many people who use it without any problems.

And depending on the game, you might be able to run it directly with steam offline, or even straight from the executable without steam open at all.

Of course this isn’t airtight, but there are ways to check the permissions granted to flatpak applications. And IMO it works well enough for games. Ofc this depends on how paranoid you are and your reasons for wanting this (fear of a game being a virus, not wanting clutter in home, wanting protection from a bug that would delete data, etc.).

I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

Nice, that always bugged me.

I had issues with debian-based distros as well, that’s why I switched to fedora. I also think the go 3 has better support in general. The cameras are still annoying but things have gotten better, with Firefox getting libcamera support.

I agree but also I saw the words “vote” and “nix” and nearly had an aneurism.

I personally got a surface go 3. Put fedora on it and the surface kernel and it works pretty good - GNOME’s interface honestly works better for touchscreens then windows. Just be aware that some config might be needed - I had an issue with the keyboard that required making a udev rule (I documented it on the surface kernel github issues page).

X11 has multi pointer but I have no idea how usable it is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multi-pointer_X

If the entire list isn’t outer wilds its bs.

I’m so fucking tired of ai shit

Man I wish. Those puzzles are ingrained in my skull forever.

It should - I don’t have one myself but I had someone test it and there weren’t any issues. It has full steam input support too.

thanks!

they aren’t publicly traded so that’s probably part of the reason.

Wanted to update that I’m almost through the first book, mixed feelings at certain parts, but I’m enjoying the end on Schar’s world. Felt like the beginning had a lot of unnecessary sidetracks and random deaths. But I do definitely love the ideas, especially all the culture technology, so I’ll probably check out the second book.

This isn’t even an issue though, its just to fix bugs with certain websites that block Firefox for no reason or have other weird compatibility issues. Which I would think is a good thing?

There are so many legitimate things to complain about with Mozilla, why do people go out of their way to complain about the most innocuous shit.

There’s experimental support, they’re hoping it’ll be feature complete by 2026.

Oof, seems like a rough situation. Glad at least that Godot itself isn’t racist lol.

I’ve seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.

The first domino is probable gaben working at microsoft honestly
