This is an awesome news. Now OpenRA will improve a lot more.

Though I still like this joke:

Why EA is the worst gaming company in United States? Because Ubisoft is in France.

They are reliant. These forks are basically tweaked Firefox.

Yeah, FIrefox is a huge code base. If Mozilla disappears, some big developer group must take over the flag. Otherwise with only community effort, the development would be slowed down.

You can think of it as a mobile version of LibreWolf. Strict security settings are default and Mozilla’s telemetry is disabled/removed. Also unlike regular Firefox, you can download it from F-Droid (currently you need their repo but it’ll be added officially soon, probably).

GNU’s NOT UNIX though. :)

Anyway, there are terminals that support truecolor (24-bit). You can check here for more information.

No problem!

Mull is not maintained anymore. However there is a fork called IronFox.

I also noticed that these kind of games usually have problems on newer Windows versions as well. Not sure what causes this though, DRM is usual suspect. For me most of the time it’s some Japanese game that uses a weird custom engine. No problems with the ones that use Unreal Engine or Unity.

Using Logitech F310 without problems for years. I think F710 was the wireless version of it but I didn’t use it so no idea.

Yeah, it’s been great. When Valve release Proton 10 soon, it’ll get even better (Wine 10 is awesome). It’s really cool to owning your system to full extend. With ads and telemetry stuff Windows has, I’m sure they cause your hardware to wear off lot faster. Hell they even require you to buy new hardware just to install their new OS.

Might sound funny it’s usually the older titles. The longest I have waited for was Spellforce Platinum Edition. It always ran sluggish, now it probably runs better than on Windows. Another one was Agarest, it was kinda playable but with too much hassle. Well, I usually play older stuff anyway. Surprisingly I almost never had problems with new games. Maybe only Hell Let Loose but it was an anti-cheat issue.

I’ve been gaming on Linux exclusively for 5 years now. I have waited for some games to run better but it’s been generally great for me.

Jellyfin is awesome.

They really needed to pass that river.

Never gonna try that up.

It seems PADD got borked. Permission thing is happening again.

Pre-Vulkan era games are fine if the minimum system requirements are met. Native games are also fine. I have an old laptop with the first gen Intel HD GPU and I can play FTL, Mindustry and Sid Meier’s Railroads (on low settings).

Frostpunk minimum requirements page says you need a dedicated GPU with 2 GB VRAM. So an Intel HD Graphics GPU won’t cut it. You can only do light gaming with it.

I’m sure there are gaming benchmark videos for it, or for at least CPU+GPU combination. You can get idea about what you should expect. Even Age of Empires II DE would have a hard time with it.

For Linux gaming, you need a relatively new system with a dedicated GPU. For example you can still do low to mid end gaming with GTX 1060 3GB, with a relatively new CPU.

Though for Linux gaming, AMD systems are suggested for more seamless experience. You can also get a Steam Deck if you live in one of those countries.

Edit: Also apparently Intel HD Graphics 4000 doesn’t support Vulkan, so’ll you need this launch option for every non-native game: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

So this is the reason why I cannot see my posts to these communities on my profile. I understand and respect hiding communities but can it at least be possible to see our own posts when we visit our profiles? A different Lemmy website can see my posts but I cannot.

It seems so. An average Windows user wouldn’t meddle with those too. I even saw a Windows user who doesn’t know what C or D is, I would guess because the file explorer doesn’t even show drives as default window for a while now.
