I wonder if steam itself will be running on an emulation layer since it’s arm

I have to imagine the whitelisting to specifically steam deck is only going to get worse because publishers only know how to publish to console and windows. they’ll fingerprint the hardware and move on

I remember an entire shipment of phones went to Australia instead of its proper destinations and then it was stuck there too expensive to send again

the few times Ive seen perms really go awry was from new users running sudo on everything, even wine. definitely took a fair bit of cleanup

while eac itself doesn’t depend on 32bit it doesn’t currently support wow64 wine

the result is a perpetually growing pile of bandaids and things never getting fixed properly whether it’s in badly behaved games or drivers or things that should get addressed in wine and won’t be

it’s wine with bubble wrap, dxvk, and a shit ton of game specific hacks

I use !aur a lot to go look at pkgbuild history

“all the little tricks” so damn true. meet a lot of first timers that dispense with any preconceptions and won’t even right click files to see what options are available

fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

only for extraordinarily cursed situations where games need it in wine/proton

I saw two pkgbuild from the user, I don’t really know what I’m looking at in pkgbuilds generally but these were dead obvious something was bogus . downloading arbitrary files from some url like (segs)(dot)(lol) hopefully sufficiently defanged

don’t these distros package a Wayland session you can select at the greeter/ login window?

on principle it’s good that somebody tries to keep it alive but libre and suckless suck for day to day desktop use

pick your compatibility poison I guess, the ubiquitous shell or 10-15GB of flatpak dependencies

vlc was already like this on arch for a long time, literally took just a moment to look at the optional dependencies and grab the latest “actually give me everything lmao” package group

I thought their priority was vanilla OS. I hope that project has the cash to survive too

I still have no idea how to find the right record to read but at least I can run a journalctl --follow till my crash happens

no license is safe, they have fuck you money and will win every time, but especially don’t use MIT
