You mean because of the recent discovered flaw?

My sister had a weird problem with Win 10 and needed me to format her notebook, a perfect opportunity to convert another soul. So I suggested installing Linux so she could try it out, she was hesitant but when I showed her some prints of Zorin OS and told her about KDE Connect she was much more inclined.

After the installation I showed her the Gnome tour so she could learn the basics, connected her things, taught her how to install what she needed and let her do her own thing. One thing that is quite not normal for the average Windows user is that she learned to use the LibreOffice suite and other open source programs at school (cool as fuck), so she was quite comfortable with the new environment.

She's quite pleased and I don't think she'll miss Windows, but that only time will tell.

The only way this is marginally correct is if he is comparing to the money needed to create an AAA title. And in the end the company making the AAA title will have the cost operation to host/distribute and have all the others features Valve offers if they decide to do it in their own storefront.

What I found most interesting is that the real alternative of cutting down Valve is giving the money that Valves make to multiple others shittier companies. In the end of the day the money will not go to the people that's actually work on the game.

Well the biggest offender for me was "steam operation cost near zero while their cut is 30% for the publishers".

That's just a lie.

This dude again? His other video about valve has so many mistakes

Edit: Btw I think this deserve a thumbs down for the clickbait hyperbole shit title alone.

I’m confident in saying that Halls of Torment is the best of the lot by far and even better than VS.

100% agree. Really solid game and it's made with Godot, another win to the open source.

They don't steal a lot of data too? Or this privacy nightmare affected gas car too?

He is annoyed by forced diversity, like most normal people.

No.

They posted the reddit discussion about the DAV, the proportions are awful, the characters look like a bobblehead, the art style is realistic and sometimes cartoony. The same problem with the proportions was also a common criticism of ME Andromeda,which they later fixed, so it seems like Bioware hasn't learned.

Also they could just post this discussion without citing the Asmongold but they need the clickbait.

Since the lastest update on The finals we need to use Proton Experimental to avoid the anticheat randomly kicking Linux users, but since yesterday the game is crashing, sometimes in the menu. Sometimes the games launches and close automatically, with the lastest proton GE instead of Proton-experimental I had the following error:

LowLevelFatalError [File:.\Runtime/RenderCore/Private/RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 938] Rendering thread exception: Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x00007f0ab4997000

With Proton Experimental the games crashs with a Wine error: "!status && vkCreateComputePipelines"

My command args on steam: PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 mangohud gamemoderun %COMMAND%

My PC are: CPU:

Anyone with a similar problem?

The real culprit is, surprise, late stage capitalism and unbridled greed. Who would've guessed?

An article that recognize the problem with our current economical system and didn't circle around the issue? Color me surprised

I remember a post on reddit asking for a SteamDeck alternative because SteamDeck uses Linux, the guy never used the SteamDeck or Linux before... The way media treats Linux is really fucking important, maybe if Linux was from a big player like Android is from Google, people wouldn't make such a fuss about it.

I'm pretty much gaming on linux the entire year and most of the time using lutris or steam.

Some days ago I used Heroic Games Launcher and notice that the Documents folder from my linux machine was linked to the wine prefix heroic created for my game and my save/configs was nicely stored on my PC.

I know that on steam the prefix is stored in .../steamapps/compatdata/, is that any option on steam or lutris to automatic set theses symlinks? Steam have the steam cloud to backup saves but is always nice to have alternatives.

More details: My steam games is on a different disk of my linux so I don't know if the behaviour that I'm asking is the default and my disk configuration is messing something up.

I don't know if this scenario is the norm or is related to most people but I was so baffled when I found that I have to post it.

Here(Brazil) the most used app for communication is Whatsapp(first warning about low privacy concern) and a lot of people are members of cities/neighborhood/church groups, sometimes with hundreds of members. A coworker whose is part of said groups describe a common practice within the less tech savvy people: When finding a personal document(ID, credit card etc) they take photos of the document both sides without any censoring and spread to many groups as possible trying to find the owner...

Some of this documents have all relevant information to open a bank account or access banking apps and I don't even thinking about what a more tech/professional person could do with some of these information.

If they just ripped and thrown in the garbage was less harmful in any sense to the owner.
