Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.
Other FOSS devs, please pay attention to this. I don’t want to use apps called “Free<boring description>,” I want to use apps that have interesting names. Looking at you LibreOffice/OpenOffice. Whether something is gratis or FOSS is largely irrelevant, project names should stand on their own.
Idk, I think in this case it’s fine because the name “Lua” doesn’t call attention to itself. They could easily have just said “it’s an intentional mispelling of the Finnish word ‘luonti’ for stylistic reasons.”
Yeah, I don’t need transcoding, I just need NAS, some random services, and occasional compiles.
Yeah, I’m just disappointed, because I’d love a low-power DIY NAS and I really don’t need need anything x86-specific on it. My main limitation with current ARM SOCs is limited RAM, I really want 16GB RAM, and many SOCs only go to 4GB.
I know why they don’t do it, I was just hoping they’d make an option to use the same socket for ARM and x86 so I could pull a low-end server chip and put it into a higher-end consumer board and have my cake and eat it too.
Which is a major bummer. I remember Project SkyBridge, but that never happened. If it did, I’d probably be running an AMD ARM chip right now.
It doesn’t, I just figured that if I’m going to go through the effort of switching the client launchers, I’ll look for something that also works w/ servers. My kids are the ones who play Minecraft, not me, and I’ve largely avoided bothering with mods, but if something handles it well, I’ll use it.
Right now, to add a mod, I have to copy the mod to a few computers (could probably automate w/ Syncthing or similar), and then filter by whatever server mods are needed. And if I upgrade Minecraft, I need to upgrade the server as well, which is a bit of a pain.
Huh, I didn’t realize it was so commonly liked. We currently use MultiMC, which was the go-to launcher some years ago, but maybe I’ll give PrismLauncher a try.
Does it do anything about launching servers? I currently launch Minecraft w/ systemd on boot, and I’m thinking of moving it to my NAS instead of my desktop (that way it’s always on), so I’m interested in any way of better managing it since I need to keep the mods consistent between the server and our computers.
That might be relevant if OP was talking about using Proton VPN, but they’re talking about Proton, the compatibility layer shipped with Steam for Linux.
There are a ton of documented cases where bans falsely identify Linux users as cheaters, and later many (most?) of those bans get overturned. It seems to come in waves (likely an anti-cheat update), and it’s annoying every time.
My solution is to just not play games with anti-cheat, because there’s no way I’m going back to Windows, and there’s also no way I’m going to play the ban/appeal game. My time is worth more than that.
Eh, the only “seasons” I play special games for are Halloween (something spooky) and Christmas:
This year, it’ll probably be:
Other than that, I don’t really games based on the season, but based on time I have available and whatever interests me.
Hokkaido somewhere?
I switched to Linux a little before Steam came to Linux, and I made my Steam account pretty much as soon as it came. I’ve been here a while and it has been a wild ride. I went from mostly buying games through Humble Bundle (best way to find good native Linux games in the early 2010s IMO), to Linux native games through Steam, and finally to Windows games through Proton (I did play a handful through WINE, but it was always a pain).
It’s been amazing to see gaming on Linux go from something enthusiasts do to something that’s a mass market product.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Linux gaming.
It doesn’t.
Or Portal 3. I’d be down for either.
At least when I tried, it was easier to get Windows Steam to work than Linux Steam. Maybe the Linuxulator has improved since then.
Yup, I used to use FreeBSD and it worked okay. When I used it, the Nvidia drivers were better than AMD, but I don’t know if the FOSS AMD drivers have been ported to FreeBSD.
I just watched this mental outlaw video about it, and he breaks down what this means, what cards it applies to, etc.
I’m probably not getting NVIDIA for my next card, but this certainly is a step in the right direction. If they prove they can keep up with the Linux ecosystem and play nice (e.g. the debacle around Wayland), I’ll consider getting one.
For now, AMD provides a fantastic Linux experience and that’ll need to be matched for me to even consider NVIDIA. NVIDIA used to be way better on Linux, but they broke that trust and it’ll take a while for me to give them another shot.
FWIW, I had problems even with AMD GPU on KDE Plasma 5, but Plasma 6 is solid. So maybe stick with X11 until your distro updates to 6.
I just played through Pony Island and really enjoyed it. It doesn’t have much replayability, but it’s a unique experience that I think most will enjoy. If you like Doki Doki Literature Club, Undertale or Inscryption (last is the same dev), you’ll like this.
I’m going to be picking up The Hex because I’ve liked the dev’s other two games.
Eh, they could easily change the justification to “intentional modification of a Finnish word for stylistic reasons.”
I think the name is decent, though not a fan of shoehorning Lua in there.
