Planet-smelting sim Satisfactory is now satisfactory enough to leave early access
  • I can quit any time I want. Pay no attention to the fact that I played it during a Teams meeting with Corporate last night and didn’t get to bed until 2:30.

    Linux: We need Tiling Desktop Environments
  • Cosmic - both the GNOME extension and Epoch 1 - is my favorite tiling DE. It just makes the most sense to me, in a way that no other tiling environment has.

    First reactions to Borderlands call it a "game over"
  • Had she not been Galadriel, maybe it would have worked. I can’t look at that face and not feel it in the water. Or feel it in the earth. Or smell it in the air.

    Is virtualbox the best way to try a Linux distro on Windows before installing it as dual boot ?
  • This - but I’d take it a step further and use a small-ish USB 3.2 SSD with Ventoy instead. That way, your live Linux experience isn’t kneecapped by having to load programs off a slow USB stick. In a pinch you can use a SATA SSD with a USB-SATA adapter too, that way you can cram a ton of ISOs on there and go to town.

    Having a bunch of beers rn & trying out Debian for the first time. Will I have regrets? 🤔 happy Saturday to all, drink something delicious today 🍻
  • If you’re using Debian as a daily driver you can always use a Flatpak if you need a newer version than what’s available in the repos. The foundation is solid, though, and that’s what matters - it’s one of the things that keeps bringing me back to Debian for office workstation use.

    What is your favourite game with native Linux port?
  • Indeed - but it runs really well through Proton, as does BL2, so no big deal.

    Horizon Zero Dawn runs perfectly through Proton as well. Currently playing Forbidden West, about 24 hours in, and have encountered some minor issues (occasional momentary graphical glitches, rare instances of dialog drops requiring exit to title screen), but I’m not complaining.

    What is your favourite game with native Linux port?
  • There was a native release from the jump, it was always kind of jarring being able to install it without selecting a Proton version first.

    New Florida Law Requires All Women To Produce 3 Healthy White Sons By 22nd Birthday
  • As I’m sure pudding fingers will be inspired to make this into an actual law, and as I’m sure he doesn’t know what “ex post facto” means, I look forward to seeing this applied to my over-22-year-old childless sister.

    Windows 11 is now an ad platform--this is why we're here
  • Is it possible to run what you need in a VM? That’s how I’ve been running things that need Windows to function correctly and it hasn’t broken yet. Can even get 11 working with an emulated TPM, including Windows Subsystem for Linux inside the VM if you’re feeling particularly bored.
