@GustavoM @simple hmm, interesting. How do I make pacman work on ubuntu? I mean, just because it’s technically possible, doesn’t mean it’s at all easy to do, in any stretch of the imagination

@brunofin @xan1242 Idk, I use them all the time. And furthermore, emulation needs to be precise and fast, not written in some modern technology, if the need doesn’t outway the efforts put into it. Or, maybe I’m mistaken, I may have misunderstood what you mean. So, perhaps you can clarify?

@noodlejetski conduit, the matrix server? that’s definitely weird

@superguy windows or linux?

@ReverseModule @Excrubulent is it only me, or the video has no sound at all?

@darkeox @NZV65572 @Oha what is, nvidia or amd? amd does have raytracing, and nvidia has vulkan with proprietary drivers as far as I know, but maybe I’m missing context because my server didn’t load all the thread

@Chee_Koala @SleepyWheel ubuntu studio is not a DAW, it’s a music producer focused ubuntu flavour. If you want an open DAW, did you try zrythm?

@Silejonu @Natal @pete_the_cat then, how is it that usb keys and drives work with both windows and linux, once they have been formatted? Is there a different filesystem involved in that case? I, for one, didn’t have issues writing on a USB drive, is that an uncommon scenario?

@XenoStare @ZariZari this doesn’t make us evil, nor does it make valve good, they did it because they didn’t want to pay for windows licenses for all the steam decks they produce, simple as that, we’re collateral benefit. Not using entirely free software isn’t evil. Every moment we accuse one another of not being supporting enough, idealistic enough, etc, gives the monopolies an advantage because we’re squabeling pointlessly. This is what the pollitical left wing should understand as well.

@XenoStare @ZariZari yes, but some convenience is also good. In this case, being able to play windows games, as most of them are released for that platform, on linux without messing a lot with vanilla wine is a godsend. For now, it’s about getting people, game studios, etc, to notice us, even if only through the lense of the steamdeck verified badge. It’s only temporary I hope, but even if not, philosophi aside for a moment, it’s good that we can have more enjoyment than before.

@Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever @V0lD personally, I use systemd timers, in combination with the btrfs tooling to backup certain snapshots of my filesystem, which include game saves. I can’t use steam because it’s entirely screenreader inaccessible, so I play stuff with retroarch and other emulators, plus the occasional audiogame in wine, and very rarely, native ones, those are so rare.

@mammut @boo agreed, and that’s what they rely on, though valve isn’t by far the worst offender here

@woelkchen @Bilu47 I recommend that thing would be under the gpl, but to each their own

@Tersevs awesome, thanks for the explanation! I wanted something like this for a long while, especially since I usually game in weird places which are far from the computer. Also, I looked on flathub, and both apps are on there, even the server. Why would run the server as a flatpak, I don’t know, but I know it’s there, so yeah, gonna try this now.

@Tersevs can you detail the process a bit? where goes what component?

@popcar2 yes, the ntfs problem hit me as well, as I previously commented on other occasions. Also, I didn’t think that intel mobile integrated gpu’s wouldn’t be recognised by opengl or vulkan, but that’s how it goes apparently

@MyFairJulia wait, you can run games from ntfs drives with linux? what ntfs driver is recommended for that? is ntfs3g broken? I’m asking because each time I try to do something like that, I do get permission issues, as you say. Worse, each time windows would make a file, the linux side would come up with a permission error when trying to access it. That’s why, I don’t use ntfs stuff anymore at all

@BloodSlut @ShaunaTheDead hohoho, a good head start! I had to clear some environment variables from time to time as well, especially when it comes to wine stuff misinterpreting some vars I thought are only for some specific programs I use, so it’s not the first time such happened to me. Glad it worked for you, also glad you worked out what env var to clear.

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut of course it matters. Environment variables get passed to wine, after which other processes inherit them, simply because they are children of wine. Because wine makes them available to windows calls too, well, you get them in wine processes.

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut what do you mean? you can use different wine prefixes for different applications, so I don’t quite get it. Also, outside bottles, I’m not sure you can run wine in flatpak
