After upgrading to 22.04 from 20.04, I can not take screenshots anymore with the keyboard.. And that is an usefull feature for me.

Can you screencap with 24.04?

Quoting: ps3king1336I'm wondering how this will be possible to play on other systems like 3ds and ps-vita?

I'd imagine that would involve modding them in order to run outside software - that's a bit outside of the scope of a Linux-gaming site, though.

So, as someone who knows diddly about programming I gleaned two main things from that post.
1: Gnome is annoying for developers

QuoteFactorio does not need to provide decorations on any other platform, nay, on any other desktop environment, but GNOME can (ab)use its popularity to force programs to conform to its idiosyncrasies or be left behind.

2: Open source is great

QuoteI was hoping to utilize SDL's built-in clipboard functionality, but unfortunately SDL does not support incremental transfers. This means there are three options:

--Continue linking against X11, requiring users to install X11 on their system to be able to run the game (I don't want to mess with static linking).
--Figure out how to do runtime linking and implement that.
--Upstream our incremental transfers code into SDL so we can leverage SDL's clipboard functions and other SDL-based games can benefit from our work.
As you might guess, I chose the third option. The work to upstream our code is ongoing but should be done in time for Factorio 2.0's release.

Sometimes Programming is just guessing the best outcome, so you mean FUN!!! in Dwarf Fortress style.
Okay, my joke is bad, sorry.

Right now, I'm debating whether I want to stay on LTS after my Kubuntu install(s) upgrade from 23.10 (whenever the update drops). I've been pretty satisfied running normal releases the past year, but it may be worthwhile just sticking to LTS.

Huh, so one nice thing about SDL is that it mostly "just works". Why did they need to add the Wayland protocols into their source tree, and link with libdecor themselves? I predominantly test my SDL stuff on Wayland and I've never had to even think about that. Is it because they are statically linking maybe?

Quoting: Linux_RocksThe logo for the game looks like Eggman wants to touch Tails inappropriately. :x

Well, Goo goo g' joob!

That's nice to see. Not that I ever play shooty games, but I'm left handed so it's a good feeling.

I've been lurking forever and now have an excuse to post!

For anyone wanting to go native without needing to wait for the flatpak, I was able to compile the game on my Linux Mint laptop. Just remember to pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release otherwise it'll run far too slowly.

I'll check it on Nobara later and over the weekend I'll try it on my main Garuda machine.

I’ve always wondered if some of them wouldn’t mind releasing source code for some old outdated software and then they look at the code… 😬 and see how much duct tape, popsicle sticks and bubble gum held it together and thought it would be a bad image 😂

Good game, but indeed for a rogue-like it runs out of content relatively quickly. Maybe this update will improve that.

is the ultrawide support on skyrim better? As in properly adjusts the ui? If so, that's so weird that they would release this broken since presumably being the same engine, it'd be exactly the same changes?

My friend and I had an absolute blast playing this on the couch together when it first came out. It was awesome for one of us to be able to do the digging and then the other to take over dome defenses during the attack phase. SO MUCH FUN.

However ... when it first came out it, I don't think the balance was all that good. We quickly "beat" it just because we could pick the right upgrades and make the dome so incredibly powerful.

We got bored and quit, but then went back and tried it out again when they released the new character with the weird bouncy ball attack. That character was AWFUL ... like how did that even happen. Stopped playing for good then.

Maybe now with this we might give it another go!

Quoting: CatKiller

Quoting: MohandevirNvidia based Steam Deck 2? 🤔

Nvidia don't have an x86 licence, so they can't make a chip that's GPU and x86 CPU in one like Intel & AMD can. The handheld Nvidia can do would be ARM - and the Nintendo Switch is exactly an Nvidia/ARM handheld.

I wonder if they could create an intel+nvidia custom chip board? Price would surely be through the roof, though.

This said, Nvidia displayed an arm based with RTX gaming laptop, couple of years ago. It was running an arch based os, if I remember correctly.

I'm right handed but left eyed, so for me holding a gun in my left hand is the only way I can shoot in real life. I've accepted games being mirrored but I still love seeing this change.

Ooooo, with the key bind to switch it, i hope it's only a matter of time till they implement alternate hands for us cross hand/eye dominant people!!

Or I could just do it with the key bind manually!! Lol!

Damn, this was my chance to do such a headline.

It's great that Nvidia continues to make some open source contributions but until DLSS becomes a thing on Linux, I'll just continue to support AMD even if their FSR implementation never comes close to matching DLSS.

Quoting: ShabbyXNVIDIA is testing the waters with open source, and I'm sure they'll have more to come. I can only hope they have a good enough experience that they won't feel it's too hard and give up!

It's not something new for nvidia. Their nvidia drivers for their other devices such as nvidia tegra are open source. It's only their old desktop/laptop nvidia driver that is not open source.

Coooooool.

FYI, I had some terrible input stuttering when I first launched the game, apparently because it didn't seem like that I had a gamepad connected. Unplugged, relaunched, and ran just fine.

Played like 4k hours on CS:GO with the lefthand view model. Was a bit confusing to get the "normal" right hand mode and now lefthand is back again!
This and the other changes are at least some more changes this game needs.

Oh wow! this was very unexpected! thank you so much for the article. I was wondering where so much of the traffic was coming from

I hope you enjoyed playing and happy Alien day everyone!

As a left-hander, I'm actually pleasantly surprised. That's something that has never occurred to me that I want, but I do.

Everything from ice scream scoops to scissors are against us, It's nice to know that valve has our back.
