AHHHH!

I cannot read the phrase “them bones” without that song playing in my head haha

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of the post. Mindustry is awesome, I got so addicted to it for a bit haha

Yes, SteamOS does count as Linux. Android does not. The Android and iOS Steam app is just for social features / store, not for playing games so neither show up on the survey.

SteamOS Holo, which is what the Steam Deck uses, makes up 42% of the Linux systems in the survey results.

Yeah it usually downloads sync’d stuff to Internal Storage/Android/media/com.nextcloud.client

Haha thats a fun idea. Might have to add that to my config

I don’t have an answer for you unfortunately but I gotta say thanks for mentioning LosslessCut. I’ve been using video-trimmer for quickly clipping stuff from long videos and it’s had a lot of issues for me, no idea how losslesscut slipped past my radar. Gonna give it a try when i get home :D

February 2022 they put out an update that enabled Proton support for EasyAntiCheat. Apex and Overwatch 2 both work.

Yeah, its a bit much. But hey, it’s something that brings a lot of the users here together. Common ground to get conversation going and gets the new Reddit refugees interacting with content on here. After a while it’ll probably die down but it’s very much at the forefront of new users’ minds.

Ayy I got into Bloodywood a little while back, they’re pretty sick. Haven’t gone through a lot of their catalog but cool to see them mentioned, seems like their fanbase has been growing a ton over the past year

Petition to replace the KDE logo with a headshot of Kandalf

Huh, i remember trying out this game a while back. The Cube World vibe caught my eye. Guess it’s time to download and see how things are going with it nowadays

Them refering to him as “the geek man” is so funny lol

also “granting the hackers unlimited power”

Oh yeah! Earlier this year i bought Titanfall 2 on sale and was so hyped to see how well Northstar worked with it. It’s one of my favorite multiplayer games now for just casually hopping in matches here and there. The movement mechanics are so damn satisfying

My life changed ever since I started self hosting a Nextcloud server

I had a similar experience switching from my GTX 1070 to a 6700XT last year. Things had improved significantly over the years I used the 1070 but the experience has been overall much more seamless after switching

What desktop environment or wm are you using? Are you using a login manager or launching your session from tty?

I’ve had similar issues in the past but in my case I had to configure things so that when I log in it sets environment variables correctly and have my sway config start up xdg-desktop-portal correctly.

I’ve also had situations where specifically xdg-desktop-portal-gtk was causing problems so id uninstall that while keeping the other xdg-desktop-portal-* packages, so it could be one of those causing it

Haha forreal, my Steam Deck is the primary thing getting me to play through my backlog of single player games. Spent the past 2 weeks playing a ton of Yakuza 0 and will now probably go back and play the rest of the series in order on this thing. What a beautiful device

Yeah the whole EA App thing is so frustrating. When it was still Origin I had issues here and there but nowadays if I don’t play Battlefield 4 for a while it just won’t launch until I reinstall the EA App smh

It’s been a beautiful thing to see. IIRC Proton was announced and usable sometime in 2018. Things were still rough then but it was a good sign.

When DOOM Eternal dropped it didn’t work for a while and I’d refresh the GitHub issue page daily until one day it was fixed and has worked perfectly ever since.

Apex Legends was one of the only things keeping me dualbooting Windows, then February last year it comes out that Apex added Proton compatibility for EAC thanks to the work Valve did behind the scenes collaborating with anti-cheat developers, so I nuked my Windows partition and haven’t looked back.

We’ve had some crazy momentum over the past few years and it seems things keep improving a step up every few months. Not to mention projects like GloriousEggroll’s proton that has consistently been offering patches to fix certain games earlier than they’re released with Valve’s upstram Proton Expiremental.

Id periodically gone full-time Linux on and off over the past 6 or 7 years and it was always gaming that pulled me back. Now it’s been a good 4 years aside from dualbooting for Apex and with that out of the way I haven’t really had a need to touch Windows at all since. This is truly the best time so far to be gaming on Linux :D

Sennheiser HD 599 Have had em for a couple years, they were my first proper open back headphones and I’ve fallen in love with them
