Big oof, long listed game for me and now dead before arrival.

Luckily I picked up FF14 already.

Wow that… Stings a little

Oh so it’d be a kernel update?

That could mean quite awhile before the normie distros see it?

Not to go down a rabbit hole that’s off topic, but I’m generally not offended by Steam’s cut. The platform, advertising, centralizing, hosting, and cloud saves, etc etc, seem like a major benefit, especially for smaller developers, that would allow them to get to market faster, and with a much larger audience.

*70% - don’t forget Steam’s cut! There’s basically nothing left after that.

/s just in case not obvious

Funny enough, if you “need it to look like windows 7” Mint looks pretty close.

but yes, prior to October my house was 5 windows PCs. A couple weeks ago it was officially 5 Pop machines. No prior Linux experience, except for copy-paste setup of a pihole.

I know it technically counts and all, but it bothers me that “mobile” is included in “video games”. Mobile “games” are clickbaits and doomscrolls and it seems weird to compare them in the same graph as Nintendo/PC etc.

HOWEVER - in terms of REVENUE there is no denying how much money they make on mobile games! Probably due in part to the clickbait/doomscroll nature of them.

I also didn’t like the way Mint looked/felt, even though I’m aware of its popularity and good reputation.

I’m on Pop!_OS which is mostly a GNOME desktop, but they do add [remove] features and it’s very smooth and clean. I guess this is one of the miracles of “linux” where we can all be using “linux” but with 1500 different varieties.

Still hope it releases in NA soon, unless they plan to do a realm reborn type move I guess.

Edit: back from reading article. “Big update” is rolling out this month, and looks like the 1-year delay from Japan to global will benefit everyone getting the game later this year.

Delete /home/username/.wine directory

Then in terminal run: winecfg

Literally does what you want! You WILL lose anything installed in default prefix, like games/apps, if you didn’t make separate prefixes for them.

Edit: Just saw you’re running chromebook, the locations might differ. My notes were for Debian/Ubuntu & their flavors.

so it is! and I tested it, of course, with alt-sys-b which instantly rebooted my machine. nice.

ok… I’ll ask… where the heck is the “sysreq” key on my standard keyboard?

Paldivers?

Oh my!

I only had time for 15 min, but I sure hope there’s more to it then walking and watching short clips. There’s more once I get past the “opening”, right?

I did play, and enjoy, journey.

The only games thus far that I couldn’t get to work were pirated. Id say 80%+ pirated work, and so far all legit games. Even weird launchers like FF14 (stock, not the 3rd party) and Guild Wars 2. And then of course Steam does most the work.

Everyone’s mileage varies, obvs, plus there’s different distros and games.

How do YOU edge?

That’s what I’m doing for starfield, and even a game like BG3. Wait until it’s been a year of patches, etc.

I only switched 5 months ago or so, but your comment is exactly the reaction whenever I use or update my wife’s windows pc. I used windows for ~30 years now, and was just “used to it” - but after only 5 months away, the bloat experience is unbelievable. Why did/do we put up with that?

Pop!_OS… About 5 months ago. first time user just hard switched on my main.

But now 3 PCs are running it in the house.
