I’m getting quite fond of the coining of this concept of “enshittification”.

A Game Boy clone console that can play original Game Boy (Color/Advance) cartridges with a terrific screen and support for many more systems’ ROMs via OpenFPGA.

But the end is the “best” part, the one where using systemd causes the literal(!) apocalypse.

The Fedora software app has been promoting flatpaks over native packages, even not displaying that native packages are available even if they are, requiring the command line tool to access some native packages. So I don’t see how this is fundamentally different.

Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world so it doesn’t work.

Watching the trailer again, it seems to have that same overly clean, lifeless HUD that all the other recent Mario games have been going for. That’s kinda sad, a blemish on what otherwise seems to be great work.

I exclusively use Linux on my PC, including for gaming, and have so for ten years.

It’s… A mixed bag. Getting to use Linux instead of Windows is the great part about it. The totally different philosophy, a convenient way to install apps, no mess with device drivers, easy distro-hopping and reinstallation, a way to free yourself from the vendor lock-in. If you haven’t tried it, but think you’d enjoy it, I’d strongly encourage you to try it.

Gaming works but isn’t pain-free. I can enjoy a lot of games, and SteamPlay is fantastic. But there’s moments like when I have to redownload all 20GB of Transport Fever 2 on GOG after an update was released, because there is no GOG Galaxy on Linux. Last week I was trying to get Trackmania 2020 running with a friend. The gameplay worked fine, but the Ubisoft Connect overlay was totally bugged. Whenever I opened the overlay, the game would then refuse all keyboard and controller inputs until I restarted it. Since the party system uses this overlay, I couldn’t play with my friend because of this bug. And our entire evening was wasted reading through forums and ProtonDB to try to fix the problem to no avail.

I encourage you to take a look and see for yourself and try it, I will never go back to Windows, and it’s free so you’re not losing anything by trying. A passion for fixing things yourself helps. And it’s not all sunshine and roses. But good luck, and we’ll do our best to help you if you need it.

I’m playing a lot of Commander and some Modern and Pioneer. Will be dipping my toes into fully proxied Legacy soon. Overall, I prefer the theme building and deckbuilding freedom in Commander, but I can also appreciate the 60 card competitive gameplay.

Recently I scrapped my Perrie, the Pulverizer deck after it wasn’t performing. I turned it into a Denry Klin deck, hoping to try that out soon!

Remember when it was going to be a DRM-laden garbage fire? Forcing you to connect online every day, and not allowing you to sell your used games?

The Switch and my Linux PC. And the Analogue Pocket, love that thing.

I guess Flatpak it is. Bummer about the huge overhead of storage space you need for flatpaks, but it’s the technology the Red Hat side of things have been pushing for years.
