I hope we see a blossoming of high quality open source games. Beyond all Reason is looking towards a Steam release within the year or so and it’s really impressive how much love can be put into a game that is run almost entirely by donations!
Yeah they really like to act like they’re giving away £50k on a whim and not paying someone for their labour.
I’d probably do a clean install (eventually) even if it looked like stuff works for now.
I know the pain, though. did rm -rf in the wrong directory and wiped half my drive in seconds. Good times.
Never play R&C but this is more like Portal deathmatch I think?
I would consider creating a swapfile if you have an SSD. There should be countless tutorials for doing it on Ubuntu.
It might mean your windows or Ubuntu install gets sluggish, but even 32GB (less than 10% of a typical storage drive!) of spare swap space can let your active and memory-hogging processes breathe instead of invoking the SystemD-OOM killer. Also, it’s essentially free! You’ll benefit from more RAM though.
For what it’s worth, I think Ubuntu is also fairly aggressive with memory management. I remember complaints that it was a little too hasty to kill user processes under memory-limited scenarios. not sure if that was addressed

Yup. I got our QA guy to help debug it and he was like “maybe just dont upgrade the dodgy dependency and delete your cache” lmfao yup fixed it
spend a week trawling github and documentation pages only to realise you forgot to delete your cached dependencies
Box64 helps a lot with ARM compatibility, but yes less compatible than a comparable 3.2k gaming PC on x86
ai is the new stack overflow which is the new copying someone else’s work which is the new reading the manual
You know it’s bad when Linux YouTubers are arguing against Linux ports because Proton is just so much more functional for Linux gamers.
Yeah I loved my tiny netbook. They’re sorta eaten up by tablets now though. GPD’s stuff counts as netbook form factor right?
Every worker moved is another worker more likely to use Linux at home. In my experience you’re most likely to use the computers you work with (school or otherwise) and exposure to Linux is going to demystify it in ways social media cannot.
Most exciting is probably the IT management side. I wonder how many distros are hardened for end users who do general office work - where people are more likely to tinker and mess about either for fun or to optimise things.
the new name is pretty slick so not all that bad
Private trackers usually have a request mechanism that you can use. I currently use seedpool and digitalcore which let you request media after you’ve spent enough time seeding media
Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it’s less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
I’m curious, how well has Musl been for software compatibility? How did you resolve any that came up?
i play the coop/ai games for this reason lmao
