Fonzie!

Oh! I assumed wrongly! Lemmy look into that tomorrow!

Looks more modern than Ardour? Hard agree.
Looks more advanced than Ardour? Hard disagree.

I know Wine, even better Wine-GE, but they’re not Proton qua performance.

I’m not sure if you’re reading my messages but I’m saying I’m not sure how to do Proton outside of Lutris and Steam. And that CLI outside of a launcher sounds more convenient, but gave Lutris instructions for someone running a game not from Steam.

Hm? It wasn’t very click-and-play on Bazzite before, and areweanticheatyet.com listed it as broken.

I see it’s updated to Running (though not Supported)

I’ll have to try this weekend, it seemed fun!

For me, yes. But this is all using hands-holding Windows-like UIs, please realise that the recent-ish influx of Linux gamers understand this much, much better than terminals.

Although, I’m not sure how to install Proton as a CLI package on Mint, for instance. apt doesn’t list it, but Steam and Lutris do install it internally…

You’re just shy from describing Bazzite

It’s got:

• Steam pre-installed
• trustworthy (?) Flatpak packages for just about everything, even encourages it
• desktop environment tailored to Windows users (KDE, really)
• auto-install and configure graphics drivers for AMD (Mesa) and Nvidia
• configurable automatic updates and system backup (although I think you still have to click the notification for flatpak updates)
• choice between anything for default anything during setup
• included in Steam Deck compatibility testing (actually in not sure but they do offer Steam Deck builds)

The reason why I can’t try Marvel Rivals with friends.

Fuck kernel-level software from commercial companies, though!

ran through proton

See, this is after where most gaming folks hop off.

In all fairness, if you just run Lutris (pre-installed on Bazzite), log into GOG from there and install and run the game through their wizard, it also “just works”.
That might be easier for most.

If you don’t want to deal with snaps being forced down your throat, why are you still on Ubuntu?

Oh. Half of it doesn’t work on Linux.

That really surprises me, since Windows and macOS games can be virtualised with (almost) no performance overhead.
Online games with anti-cheat software tends to block you, such as League of Legends and Valorant, but most offline, and non-competitive online, games just work.

You may need to go into the Steam settings, the tab Compatibility, and choose a Proton version.
Proton Experimental is recommended, this may sound weird but it’s just their rolling-release version and it’s very stable.

IDK looks far less advanced than JetBrains editors.

But then, that looks like a text editor and not like an IDE.

Sounds like Apple’s fault to me 🤷‍♂️

7-zip is open-source and can easily be installed on most Linux systems.
It usually installs as a backend for whatever archiver GUI your file manager uses, so for example 7-zip comes pre-installed on Linux Mint and nemo’s file-roller reads, extracts and compresses .7z files without a problem!

What happened to it?

Not on my AMD card. Using Bazzite (based on Fedora Kionite) btw.

It’s supposed to have it. I can’t get any game to do it, though; the option’s always disabled.

Ok what of your laptop isn’t getting firmware updates anymore?

Online games just working.

I know, I’m probably off better without Chinese and Korean rootkits installed, but Infinity Nikki looks so darn comfy to play.

Oh, and HDR and 144Hz. Both in X-Server as well as in Wayland, over a good DP, I can select 199.98Hz at best. Never managed to fix it. Same computer, monitor and cable used to do 144Hz just fine on Windows, before.
HDR is really gone, though, but I don’t miss that as much.

I don’t see how it could ever be misunderstood.

A missing comma can change the literal meaning of a sentence; “let’s eat, grandpa” vs “let’s eat grandpa” comes to mind.
But even then anyone would understand what the second sentence is supposed to mean.

Given that, this apostrophe really wasn’t an issue.

I ran a base-Arch with i3 before, I got tired of restoring backups and fixing things and went back to Debian. It broke too quickly by its defaults in my experience.
