Scio

Probably wouldn’t’ve thought that when it came out, but I kinda really like OS/2 as a name. Had a very Serial Experiments Lain ring to it.

…Certainly a lot cooler than OSX.

If an APU counts, pretty much everything these days. The Steam Deck, even with its now “old” APU just keeps on steaming ahead!

Caveats: HD or lower. Sometimes at 30fps for big fancy AAA games.

Why would anyone do this to themselves. Even Mac people buy custom keyboards themselves for a reason!

That said, I use the Mac “cmd” symbol instead of the “Windows” symbol for my super key (a la Elementary) on my cheap but lovely Keychron K2 Pro. It just looks better 😁!

Bazzite! Especially if you don’t want to tinker with the system too much.

Edit: regarding security/stability; Bazzite is an unofficial member of the Fedora Immutable (erstwhile Silverblue) family. It stays in lockstep with their release cycle and the RPM OStree, so the actual “system” part is pretty much the same.

Divinity: Original Sin 2? I suppose it looks a little bit gorey too, but nowhere near that high definition. Definitely no squirmers…

I’m thoroughly addicted to the demo, still. Was kinda hoping it was a tiny bit cheaper…

I want everything about this

Oh my, I suddenly fell two decades younger after installing this 😚

Tl;Dr: Proton GE has extra game specific performance and compatibility patches that Proton doesn’t target for whatever reason.

Too long but I typed it out so might as well post it anyway: This is how I understand it goes like—

Now, we know Proton: a Valve-maintained fork of the venerable Wine project with many many gaming and game specific patches, made for Steam.

Proton can be used outside of Steam, of course, but it isn’t really designed to be, there be quirks. Plus, Valve maintains what goes into Proton, so if anyone really wants to play a certain Windows game that doesn’t quite run well enough on Proton and put in the work needed to make the necessary changes, it’s probably not getting added to Proton just yet (I frankly don’t know how or whether Valve accepts PRs at all). And Wine does not really want game specific patches in the runtime. Wine wants to be as generally compatible as possible.

That’s why most Proton variants exist. A certain Glorious Eggroll maintains this one, which has quite a few patches for games that aren’t targeted by Proton either at all or well enough, as well as making sure it can run outside of Steam (there are other variants of the patches for vanilla Wine or for use in Lutris as well, I think?)

Still isn’t sold anywhere near India. Thankfully, a friend graciously volunteered to buy me one, Valve has SO MUCH meeting to do smh

The fix I wanted the most from the 3.5 changelog: charge LED staying off when done charging 🙌

I have used Nix in Ubuntu before. It worked well enough. But as a concept NixOS makes more sense than just installing some of my packages with Nix.

Will this let us modify both A/B partition for small system level configuration changes without shenanigans?

I’m going to assume all these syntax highlighted HTML embeds are from Lemmy users. Sadly, illegible on Kbin.

Because I have no other viable option.

@Ab_intra I’m really sorry for doing this, but: I think the devs got Embraced a bit too hard…

Valve does a relatively good job with regional pricing. But after last year’s readjustments price in India is at the very least 50% more expensive than it used to be.

No, our economy didn’t improve to warrant this change, it’s in fact tabled heavily, and disposable income has also shrunk but a lot. It’ll get a lot worse too, as our policies become worse and worse.

There are other countries in similar situations where the prices were adjusted to be cheaper, but not in India, sadly.

So while Valve usually does a good job, they didn’t this time. We can’t expect individual developers to manually keep track of global economies and set their own prices, so it’s very understandable for then to just say they trust Valve for this. I just hope more of them realize that Valve is not perfect in how they go about it.

@nix Aren’t sidebars a stock Firefox feature?

I only just switched back to Firefox after many years, and have one open with my bookmarks and tabs all the time now! Although I do use Simple Tab Groups for the latter
