I agree, but we don’t have to convince anyone. A large minority would still be a huge achievement. In fact we don’t even need more than that.

Depending on your distro, that command likely has a GUI alternative. It just depends on the distro implementation, the disparity is a weakness of GUIs in general. instructions for windows won’t match MacOS or others, and sometimes even older versions of windows

They don’t know ring 0, but they would understand “this anti cheat is the most privacy invasive kind, controlling and monitoring everything on your computer”.

Try other games? Whatever kind of game you like, there’s likely a less invasive alternative. We’re no longer in the era of game scarcity.

I agree with your first paragraph, if you just got hooked to these games and want to compromise your own privacy and security by playing these games, that is your own trade offs.

But your second paragraph claims that not compromising security and privacy means you have to deal with cheaters. That is false. The games who support Linux do not have more cheaters. In fact, there’s plenty of cheaters all over the anti Linux games, such as destiny and league.

Also there are plenty of multi-player and competitive games on Linux. It’s only a few who do not (who admittedly also happen to be some of the more popular titles). I only agree with this sentiment if you’re hooked onto the specific games that are anti Linux, not the competitive multi-player genre.

Anyone looking for the best package manager needs to look only at portage/emerge and nix

I tried LFS one time, and accidentally ran one or more of the commands on my host machine, rendering it unusable

Does anyone know of a similar comparison but with more modest GPUs, like maybe 3060 Ti or equivalent ? I feel like phoronix did something like that but I cant manage to find it

I disagree that this is a concern. If you are already exaggerating about federation wars, chances are you already tried lemmy and know a good bit about selecting instances. The average user will not care as much as you do.

The average user will go to join-lemmy site, will not care at all about the different instances and likely choose the biggest one or first one they see. None of them will think “oh no this one is involved in federation wars” because thats not something you find out before knowing some about the fediverse.

I did that, but it did not produce any logs either :(

I did not try that, but I did try battle.net tjrough bottles and I get a similar issue. Does not launch , no errors.

the only thing I saw was changing some launch options, and none of the mworked unfortunately.

Deleting the bottles directories from the repos directory seems to fix it, thanks for the advice!

Update: Following your advice, I proceeded to delete the files for “bottles” from the repo folder in /var/lib/… and that seems to solve the issue! thanks for the help! :)

thanks for the tip about storage space, although I do seem to have 100 GB of free space so I do not think this is the issue?

However I noticed I have a filesystem /run/user/1000 it seems to be created by flatpak, and it has 1.6 GB of total space. Should this be a source of worry?

The other advice about deleting the directories does not seem to work either :(

I did try multiple versions of proton, but still without success and same issues :(

If important to verify, I have my logs from running steam in terminal here:

Some of those might look a bit conerning but they seem to show up for games that work also.

This worked, thank you!!

Does not yield the right results still

Yes that yields the same result. I get some results, but not any from Lemmy including the one I am looking for.
