It’s inevitable, sadly. It’s like when people tried stopping the industrial revolution.

Wait, what?

How can he be such a dick? I’ll take the link down.

I tried the demo when it came out. Great game, but I got turned off by the level design. There were lot of times when I got lost and didn’t know what to do or where to go. And not in a good way, like on Journey, Abzû or Sword of the Sea, you can get lost and get rewarded for exploring but getting back on track is intuitive.

Haste has better physics though.

I don’t like them as a company, but If Discord gives a shit enough to invest in the Linux client to capture more users, Linux is on the right track to grow even more. They don’t care about Linux current user base. They want the user base of what it can become.

Unpopular opinion / downvote magnet 🧲

I haven’t fully enjoyed Sonic’s transition to 3D. The 2.5D & on-rails parts do work, but I don’t think the free roaming sections are as good as other 3D games, and I don’t know if it’s the speed to blame or the auto-aim or what is it that just doesn’t click with me as much as the 2D games did.

I really wish I could have fun with the newer titles but I haven’t be able so far.

Codeberg for hosted, Forgejo for selfhosted.

They are great.

no paywall here:

Edit: looking for a mirror.

I thought it already had one… what did I use before? Was there a separate package?

Full installation. For the OS it’s just a drive.

I wouldn’t say old, but it’s a Thinkpad. I’m using Aurora Linux on a work laptop. In order to not void the warranty, I’m using an M2 NVME drive via a USBC caddy. It’s been rock solid for more than a year and I get to plug it to my desktop PC and use it as a thumb drive to access all my laptop files.

Great experience.

A true Arkham Knight Lego recreation, they even managed to replicate the shitty launch!

Sloppening

Yes. Officially announced. Multiple times. IIRC the last time was at GDC, in their presentation deck.

Does this affect immutable distros like Bazzite?

About two years now, fully Linux based home.

• 2 android phones
• 2 android tablets
• Homelab running Proxmox VE
• 2 desktop PCs running bazzite
• 1 HTPC running bazzite connected to our living room TV
• 2 Laptops running Aurora

Rock solid, no problems, no maintenance whatsoever. My family doesn’t need me to use any device.

What about streaming apps: Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. would that be a way to stream 4k video on Linux? IIRC, Firefox or Chromium based browsers on Linux don’t allow that.

If so, that would be a great way for those wanting to stream using their Steam Machine, Frame and custom Linux based HTPCs.

Looks fine, wish it had split screen.

Holy moly, $100k a year each. I hope this more than covers LVFS’ costs and give them enough headroom to keep improving it.

For these companies it must be pocket change, but that can be a lot of money if the LVFS is efficient enough.

Just go with OpenSense. Fully FOSS and comparable with corporate software feature-wise.
