Quoting: smantz0rZThey had a mistaken idea about what Linux gaming is as we know MANY devs/publishers do

What's that idea like?

Quoting: slaapliedjeJust got mine! Can confirm it actually works in Linux!! No screen tearing like I was getting on the Vive Pro.

Granted now I need to calibrate it so my head isn't on the floor.

Tell us more when you've adjusted your head!

What are some of your favourites you still play thanks to DOSBox?

I wrote a game in the mid-nineties, a scrolling breakout [External Link] published as shareware. It had a really dumb bug(*) which made it impossible to run on modern system, so DOSBox was the means for me to try my own game again.

(*) I measured the time to draw the game some hundreds of times and divided the number through the time. On modern systems, the time in the given accuracy was zero, so some hundreds divided by zero... *boom*

Quoting: EikeEven tinfoil hat wearers won't have everything in their lives wrong.

Of course not!
Their brains are not yet rotting away from cellphone radiation! Duh!

If my words are missunderstandable:
When they use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, this doesn't make alarm clocks wrong. (I'll remove that so people won't be distracted.)

Quoting: riusmaNo (or that "thousands of studies" are not peer-reviewed and published in very low quality publications that can accept studies with poor methodology). You will find a good (and recent) summary of the state of the art here [External Link] with a curated bibliography on this subject. :)

The base claim, "Heat is the only influence radio can have on a body", is disputed. I could give you a Geman source if it helps you.

PS: And the following is a red flag of non-science: "Claims of harm from cell phone use — not just 5G, but all cell phones — should also be red flagged because they are tirelessly promoted by the Environmental Working Group". Truth never depends on whichever group agrees or disagrees.

It seems you forgot to remove Ubuntu?

Quoting: CybercalypsoHi all. This is my first time here.

I would like to play this game on Linux, but because I can't play certain games on Linux I have to keep using windows 10. It would be nice to be able to ditch windows fully and just use Linux. I really hope this does come to Linux. Here's hoping.

Welcome!
I also dual booted for some time, until I found myself buying only Linux games. For many Windows only games, Proton might help you.

Quoting: GuestJust how many 32 bit apps do you run on your machine? I run one, steam.

The app used to send declarations on Polish taxes electronically is an Adobe Air application which works on GNU/Linux via its old 32-bit runtime.

(OTOH, containerizing it will probably be the easier and safer way to support it, so...)

That's the only thing I use WINE for: my respective (German) tax declaration application. (And I bet it needs 32 bit support.)

Quoting: F.UltraNo I didn't say that others did such stuff all the time. What I said was that in the real world companies announce their plans, then they await comments from users and partners to see how said plans will be received after which the plans are either amended or put into production.

I missunderstood the reference, I guess. Still I hope other companies first talk to interested parties before making public announcements they have to retreat from bit by bit the following days. Doesn't make a good impression to many people, obviously.

Quoting: F.UltraThe problem here is that the Linux fanbase decided to see the announcement of plans as a foregone conclusion and then run around screaming.

Well, actually "immature" and "world was ending" were part of your statement, too.

Quoting: F.UltraCurrently Ubuntu have 6391 packages in Main, building that will take hours even for Canonical.

Makes me wonder how Debian is able to do such an enormous feat with its AFAIR ~70K packages...

Quoting: F.UltraWhat is next, UFO conspiracies, 9/11 Truthers, Freemasons, anti-vaxxers and anti-GMO fools?

Will you refrain from such talk in future?
