Canonical going 'all in' on gaming for Ubuntu, new Steam Snap package in testing
29 Apr 2022 at 7:17 pm UTC Likes: 4

Quoting: SchattenspiegelRemember the time basically every major application had a .deb package available and most the disk space was available for games and data and stuff, because applications where small and started nearly instantly and... actually...worked...?

I mean seriously, what is the goal of this? To accelerate climate change by being intentionally wasteful? To incite social unrest by creating an atmosphere comparable to a traffic jam whenever one opens an application?
There is no goal, it's just laziness and illiteracy of developers, who for the most part don't know how to write pure code, they have flooded Linux devcommunity.
At the same time, all these snaps/flatpaks etc (shhh, systemd) are complicated and unsafe, although it is useful for someone to have legitimate backdoors.
Welcome to World with New order created by corporations and approved by new Linux generation.

Quoting: Guestyes one crazy person start war (that is evil) so as response lets make life on normal people in Belarus (that Hate Putin and Łukaszenko) more sad and hard be not selling them (because we can do evil thinks too and pretend that we do good think)

Because I work witch people from Belarus i know that they are not russia ally, they are almost 'under occupation' and now when most company are not willing to trade witch Belarus its make life there even more hard (from my perspective killing people with guns (russia do it now in Ukraine) its near same Evil like not selling food to people and allow them to die from hunger (companies do it now by stoping trade witch Belarus))
Poor Belarus: not only Putin want to destroy them; now we (many word companies like GOG) want them to be destroyed because we believe they are russian ally
Sad that GOG do this too :/

Developers - let us know if you need help with Steam Deck testing.
Let them know — let they make native games.
Competent builds and ports.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is out, run it on Linux with one small change

Quoting: omer666To be honest I may buy it someday but if I have to consider Proton games there are much better FPS I should buy before even considering eyeing this one.
Better and smooth FPS (without stuttering and high system load) on Windows.

Game devs don't seem convinced on the Steam Deck from the GDC 2022 survey

How many minutes I can play on Steam Deck (especially via Proton)?
Most likely it is another Valve fail.

Sad but true.

Encased, a sci-fi post-apocalyptic RPG to release this 'Fall' with a Linux version

Quoting: CybolicWe're nitpicking file names and build/port terminology now? Wow, how could any developer ever think we're a closed-off, dismissive group :whistle:

.exe means nothing. It's a convention, not really related to any technical choice. E.g. many Amiga programs are labelled .exe as well, even though that platform doesn't even use file names for mime types.
For games, it even makes somewhat sense to follow that convention so newcomers to Linux have an easier time knowing what's what.

build vs port: Yes, it's a native build which likely has seen parts of its code ported to run on Linux. As native build could also mean that they didn't port anything, but compiled against Wine, I think this phrasing actually makes things pretty clear. We all know what they mean here and the terms they use aren't even wrong, just short-hand. Give them a break.
OK. Let'go mess PE/ELF/Mach0 etc. It's very comfortable.
Don't inn to other home with own rules.
