I didn’t even know “Horse Girl” is a word that existed.

Linux is the only sanctuary left

Acktually there is still some Free and Open Source BSD variants. And for the lols we also have GNU Hurd. So even a world without Linux, does not mean we have to use Windows. (I don’t even count MacOS.)

I agree with you. The only thing I could see “Linux being a trap” would be, for people who expect Windows replacement without the Microsoft bullshit. So in one way this “could” be interpreted as a trap for those. But that is if I try to stretch it to justify calling it a trap.

What people don’t realize is, that every year is the Year of Linux Desktop. We just beat the previous year. It’s like having a new world record every year.

The Archwiki has a nice list with a simple explanation for various DEs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment

Congratz on liberating your computer and yourself.

Just a little advice on using the AUR: It is an user driven repository of software, meaning anyone can upload stuff to it. Usually you are adviced to read the AUR script before installing it (most don’t, especially newcomers). So you should be very careful and only install from trusted AUR scripts. Maybe install from Flatpak instead from AUR if you can, but that depends on many factors.

No, this has never done before. Games configuring itself is something completely different and irrelevant to our discussion topic. It has nothing to do with gathering information from players and trying to estimate a FPS before buying the game. “Can You Run It” also does not estimate a FPS for your hardware, based on opt-in information from analyzing the FPS you are playing the game. And especially making it an official thing for a store is also spicey, because usually those stores selling the games themselves could potentially be sued for false marketing if it does not work well enough.

This is something gamers wish to have since inception of PC Gaming. And it was always told this cannot be done. That’s why we rely on game specs and tests. I mean we still rely on, but a storefront putting estimated FPS is something they would fear to do. And here we have VALVE (once again) doing the impossible. Very curious to see how this will workout in reality.

It runs does not mean it supports it. So we need to see how this turns out in the future. The compatibility could break with future requirements and changes. I’m just worried because Garry is not a very Linux friendly.

Does it support Linux?

Obviously we are not, if you put stuff into my mouth I didn’t say or meant to say (where I was clear and even explained it to you afterwards).

No you didn’t. You made an assumption about if i like it or not. And my reply has nothing to do with if i like the updates or not. I am not sure how to be more clear than my extended explanation.

I don’t know if you can read or not, but I said its not a bonus anymore. Don’t hallucinate stuff I did not say. If I like an update or not, depends on the update. Not every update is a bonus, especially if they have to fix an undercooked game in example. A forced update is not a bonus. I hope that is clear now.

E2: Embrace, extend (its lifecycle)

I personally don’t think this service as a license changing of an existing project. If it reads and implements the same thing from scratch, then its a new implementation with a new license. I see it similar to how reverse engineering is done in example. And with the approach of two different agents I think this is okay, as it is a new implementation. I mean this is something humans could do themselves too. The only thing is, can they actually proof that both agents aren’t trained on the data they are reading and re-implementing it again (for the clean room implementation)?

The biggest problem to me is, using Ai tools in general, because of what and how they are trained on. But that is a different topic for another day.

Thanks. I’ll look and read through. Edit: Oh I saw that post before and have a reply there. :-)

At least there is a system build into Steam that allows that. Some games offer such an option even. They just need to expand that option and make it more standard. Also in the past, Steam game updates were not forced and you could stay on an older version. That should be allowed too, at least for non online games.

Back when Cyberpunk 2077 was said to have a smaller map than GTA 5, people were upset. Cyberpunk has more content per area and a more interesting structure in the city to me. It has more criticality to it. Yes, GTA 5 is overall bigger in content too, by sheer amount of size and whats available. But comparing Skyring am Daggerfall just the area size of the map is not a good approach, as these are RPGs and there is more to it than just the map.
