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.

At least with Linux Mint, you can still choose any of their older themes (Mint-X, Minty, Mint-L), so I expect them to still include those.

It does, as well as adding pictures into it and drawing by hand, so handwritten signing shouldn’t be an issue, either.

It doesn’t allow you to merge several PDFs, that’s still something they need other software for.

Do come back and link it when you can!

This straight up makes it look like a Resident Evil-esque horror game.

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

All of Half Life 2 is DRM free on Steam.

Quite a lot of games are, as long as their publisher didn’t require DRM.

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?
