To me, they are both winners. I loved Phantom Liberty and just started playing it again last week, only for it to be interrupted by Shadow of the Erdtree. Both DLC’s reminded me how much I loved the base game and both are proper and large content additions. And they both run perfectly on Linux on day 1 <3.
Both these games and their DLC’s are in my opinion what other game studios should aim for.
Now that’s awfully cool of you 😄. I’ll give that a spin with Symfonium this weekend; much obliged!
This sounds like a cool thing. Will it run on FreeBSD? If unknown, I will likely try and find out this weekend.
TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.
Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.
When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.
That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don’t actually want to buy anything after all?
It’s not like you’re trapped… you can just walk out if you want, but doing so without paying and carrying full bags may raise an eyebrow with employees. Although I think I could easily get away with that in my small village supermarket during quiet hours when nobody is paying attention.
Very interesting blog post, thank you. Quite different from the “This week in KDE”, but a nice addition for software developers and tech-savy readers. I’ll keep an eye on this blog 🙂.
Welcome 🙂. I always loved bleeding edge so Arch really suits me well. There’s probably a distro out there for everyone and you seemingly have found yours!
Woah I didn’t know that game was about to be released 😮. It’s been on my wish list for a long time. Well, I know what I’ll play tomorrow now that I completed Blasphemous 2!
The Dutch government also launched their own mastodon instance recently at social.overheid.nl. Several government departments have already joined. I hope politicians will also make the move, although I do not know if this specific instance allows for accounts other than those of government departments.
When you make public announcements as a politician or political party, it should be done via a channel that can be accessed without registration!
Yeah, take the plunge! I never liked dual boot and even though I liked Linux since the late 90’s I never committed to it on my desktop due to it being mainly a gaming system. When Proton came around I dumped Windows and never regretted it :-). Especially after reading this article I’m happy I don’t have to deal with that crap!
They also always refer to it as “my iPhone”, never “my phone”, at least all the users I have met (NL). I find this very odd.
As a software developer for 20 years who hasn’t used Google in roughly 14 years, I can assure you that you don’t need it for development or looking up stuff :-). Give it a shot, do without for a week or two; DuckDuckGo works superb and the main reason most people think other search engines are worse is because their Google profile is trained to find stuff they tend to click on, like Meta does.
When your employer uses Google software in development there’s obviously not much you can do there.
Why would it be difficult? The only Google service I use occasionally is YouTube and I can do without, honestly. My Android phone is free from Google stuff and I use DuckDuckGo for searching since it launched. I pay a small subscription fee for my email and cloud storage.
And then I ran out of things I know people use Google for. Aside from YouTube (in EU and US) I am certain you can easily do without them. People just choose not to.
Trying to beat Tails of Iron on the hardest difficulty. The game was fun and somewhat challenging on normal and I did 100% it. The hardest difficulty feels random and just unfair at times and honestly isn’t very fun to play. But I’m determined and have reached the last area, so hopefully I’ll succeeded this weekend.
Maybe you can try running the application with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb. I have to do so for Webex for my work, since it won’t run properly on Wayland. You can edit the application’s shortcut in KDE and set environment variables in the Application tab.
I played the base game on launch and will likely do so again for the expansion 🙂. My only concerns for new releases are usually how they run on Linux, but since the base game works flawless I may even take the plunge and not wait for Proton reviews this time.
I knew of the game but never really paid any attention to it, but after seeing the showcase I added it to my wish list. Then again, it was to be expected since I played countless of hours of Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 3 and 4.
I won´t pre-purchase though; I’ll be awaiting reports on how it runs (if at all) on Linux first. I hope it will run well since I really liked what I saw.
I was in the same boat as you and deleted Windows two years ago. Never regretted it and I’m sure you won’t either 😃
It happened on and off the past two weeks or so but was considered not a bug in an earlier report I saw. I also encountered it a few times, but since about 24 hours ago I have had no luck playing anything.
Likely changes or countermeasures on G’s side, or part of the embedded as changes that is being talked about, is my guess.
