Quoting: oldrocker99I'm hooked. There are packages in the AUR long ago abandoned by Canonical, and programs I love, like exfalso and pypar2.

I don't know about pypar2 (seems abandoned by the developer as well) but I've been using Quod Libet and Ex Falso on Mint for years and I don't see why you'd think they're abandoned. If you mean Canonical doesn't provide the latest versions for their LTS distros, you can just download and run Ex Falso directly from the tar.gz packages on the Quod Libet github releases page [External Link]. For dependencies, python3-mutagen and python3-feedparser should be all you need to install, but you can find the full list of dependencies here [External Link].

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyIt's not The GIMP

I'd say it's definitely more usable than the GIMP for free-form art using a tablet or a pen display, but the GIMP still serves you better for generic image manipulation.

elements from different time periods, so you're dealing with both magic and machine here

I'm no historian so please educate me Liam: Magic was an element of which time period exactly? :P

Tired/ill and apparently not able to write properly. Have removed that entire bit.

That was supposed to be just a friendly little jab, but I guess I chose the wrong smiley or something. :(

Feel better. If it's the flu, I suggest self-medication. A steaming cup of cocoa with a generous splash of spiced rum should do the trick.

Looks very pretty. I wonder how the simultaneous turn-based mechanic works in practice.

Realising that the devs are Finns made me wonder if the (rather silly) name is a homage to the Iron Sky franchise or maybe a tongue-in-cheek literal translation of Rautavaara (a Finnish surname and a village in eastern Finland).

Quoting: XpanderJust tested the Discord Rich Presence option. I dont use Lutris usually, but Discord sometimes shows like im playing wine64-preloader or similar and i was hoping that thisone is fixing that and showing the actual game name finally in discord ...but it seems it shows as Lutris and then a game name when i click on the name as a info.

I wonder if its possible to change that?

It's open source, of course it's possible. Based on a quick glance, I'd say the python code seems clean enough, and this should be a simple change if the project owners agree. (I don't see why they wouldn't.)

An issue at their github [External Link] would probably go a long way.

Quoting: HeniekHardkorAny idea what's the folder for flatpak version of steam?

Unless this changed recently, it should be
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/

Quoting: joaojottaIs this game inspired by the board game or the other way around or not related at all?

Liam starts the article with "Gloomhaven, the digital adaptation of the acclaimed board game...". Doesn't that answer your question? :)

Based on the trailer, I'm torn. I mean I like a nice, quirky point-and-click as much as the next guy, but I prefer ones with relaxing gameplay (definitely no timers or quick time events) and a decent story I can enjoy in a single play-through. Or if there's branching, at least let me experience the branches without too much repetition or trial and error.

where your choices will have an impact and there will be…consequences

This phrase again... But I guess it would make a decent drinking game if you read through descriptions of recent game releases and had to take a swig every time one mentions "choices" and "consequences".

Quoting: DiegoHi, on last 2 days i have to format the pc 4 times, every single time that i change or instal de graphics drivers from the software center, the os brakes, 2 times zorin os and 2 times manjaro, whow this works?

I haven't got enough experience with either of those distributions to help you, but this Zorin OS help article [External Link] seems easy enough to follow. For Manjaro, the console command "sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300" should autodetect and install an appropriate driver, but that's just what I found with a quick web search. And of course, you should reboot after installing a new graphics driver.

Quoting: DiegoHi all, im new to linux, my games are running well with lutris, proton, wine, nvidia drivers, vulkan utils etc..
One ask, when i do the sudo apt get update and after upgrade, i will have instaled all the new versions of the softwares above in one time?

Hi Diego, and welcome.

Apt will update anything you install from the distribution repositories or ppa archives. So, if you install something with "apt install", you can update them with "apt update" and then "apt upgrade". Although if you're new to this, I suggest using the graphical update manager application of whichever Debian-based distribution you're running.

You'll have to manually update to new major versions of Nvidia drivers, as a normal update will only consider new point releases for stability reasons. (Different major versions are separate packages.) But again, consider using the driver manager GUI if you're on Ubuntu or Mint.

Steam will handle Proton for you as it's not a system package. I think Lutris will also take care of installing Wine and other "runners" as needed, so no need to worry about installing and updating Wine, unless you run it directly. If you do need Wine installed system-wide though, you'd better get it from the official winehq debian/ubuntu package repository as that will let your package manager handle updates.
