    If wasps realize that I am a giant who can easily kill them, why are they so incessant on invading my personal space?

    I’s like going to a kickboxing tournament as an untrained person and flipping off every kickboxer within kickboxing range, then slapping them when they tell you to fuck off.


  • Make that “Gaming on Linux”. I’ve barely come accross a game that wouldnt work at all, ocassionally (usually with older titles) setting up a decent controll scheme can be some work. To be fair, though, I mostly play single player games or casual multiplayer games - I don’t play any esports titles or competitive multiplayer games, so unsupported anti-cheat hasn’t been an issue for me.

    All the effort Valve has put into proton for the steam deck has paid off for regular Linux gaming as well. So much so, that Linux has been my main OS for about a month.



  • Thanks. I didn’t realize that was the case, I installed the plugin at some point but eventually uninstalled it, because I always fell back to Heroic Games Launcher, because GOG has my third largest library of games (after steam and the free epic giveaways).

    Having to join their patreon to get early access to a beta plugin (essentially paying money to become a tester) does sound like embracing the current state of game development and not something I am willing to encourage/participate in.

    I’ll stick with HGL for the time being, I can just add that to steams gamescope.




  • When I got my steam deck in 2022, I prepared an SD specifically for booting windows, because I figured I might need to boot it at some point for playing a game. 1 year later, I have not once had to boot windows to play a game. Incidentally, it often was easier to get older games working on proton in Linux than it was on a modern windows system.

    I am not personally playing many multiplayer games, though, but I can see how being locked out of playing a current multiplayer game with your friends would be an issue. We can only hope that kernel level anti cheat is going the way of the dodo. But from what i understand, that would in a lot of cases mean for Tim Sweeney to get off his high horse, because of EOS, no?








  • As someone working as on-site IT support for over 15 years, I can’t tell you how often I have asked people to restart their computer over the phone and they swore they did (“multiple times even”), only for me to eventually come around to their desk and having them actually reboot the device in my presence and for the problem to actually fix itself.

    One Lady I asked to restart their computer said “all right, hold on.” only to respond not even 10 seconds (!) later "I did, its still not working„ and after the third time I went to her desk and asked her to show me what she did. She leaned forward, turned off the monitor, then turned it back on. “I did this 10 times already, and its still not working”.

    Some people just lie about rebooting, some simply don’t actually know how to reboot properly. After a few months, you get to know who’s lying, who’s doesn’t know better and who’s actually telling you the truth, you get to know your coworkers.
