System76 patches APT for Pop!_OS to prevent users breaking their systems
10 Nov 2021 at 5:45 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: ageresMaybe I'm too old, but it feels weird for me when I see Linux users are saying "Linus" without mentioning the surname of that Linus, and it turns out that it is not about Torvalds. I read headlines like "Linus tries to install Linux", "Linus breaks his Linux installation", "Linus bashes Linux" and wonder wtf has happened to Torvalds? But then I realize it's about some guy from YouTube.
Felt similar with the Steam thread "Linus Discusses His Experience Moving to Linux" [External Link]. Finally. :D

Quoting: GuestThe issue Linus had with Steam on Pop is why I always use the deb from the Steam website.

Good to see System76 learn from it though
I honestly got no idea how the package of the distribution makers could be worse than the one that doesn't know anything about your distribution.

Mind-bending puzzler Superliminal is getting a multiplayer mode

Quoting: BogomipsI asked because in my case (i.e. Superliminal 1.10.2021.5.10.883) there is no Multiplayer item in the menu so maybe Linux users where not part of the mode or is it just me?
I only know this...

Ah, but according to the comments, you're probably right:

I guess you'd need Proton to circumvent that...

Quoting: BogomipsAny news about the mode?
No new menu item for me since the update…
There was a Steam news from the game that it's up and running.

That level of not giving a **** about user feedback is impressive ! :shock:
I guess "Release the GOG Galaxy client for linux" saying "In work" does not mean what I would expect it to mean?

HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed details Steam Deck support, shows a quick video

Quoting: rustybroomhandleIt extracts the mp3 from the dll, loads it into memory and then deletes the extracted file. I guess it's intended as copy protection for the music. A null reference error occurs at one of those steps. I'm fairly certain this is a thing that can be fixed via wine-mono (the game uses monogame/xna). Either way, I was impressed they applied the workaround so quickly. At least people who want can actually play it now.
I wonder why they don't just extract in memory.

The TUXEDO Nano Pro is a powerhouse in a tiny box

Quoting: GuestThe thing is these small form factor machines are pretty cool for their size but they fall in a weird middle ground area of cons.
The specific feature of this form factor is that they can fit on a VESA mount so they have zero footprint. Like an all-in-one, but trivially serviceable: take one off, put another one on.
I always wonder: What would I do with the space spared under my table?
I don't get the whole class of devices, as I see the compromises made (choose some of performance, noise, extendability), but not the gain.
