Proton will also do however the default wine is ancient and does not work. I had to give this info in universal blue discord so many times I started to meme about "days since last Battle.net install failure on Lutris: 0". It is a pet peeve of mine😅

Maybe they contacted the recently expelled team member? They worked on hardware & handheld support.

I forgot this guide existed lol. Option 1 (Lutris) does not work and hasn't for months unless the default Wine version is changed from Wine GE 8.26 to something newer. Other wine versions can be installed by clicking a tiny button that looks like an open box in the main page of Lutris, next to "Wine" button.

Quoting: XpanderPeople still pre-order games?Refunds for preorders can be made after the product is available, the 2 week after purchase / 2 hour playtime rule works a bit differently for preorders.
That's quite a shame tbh to give money without having a product for couple of months. You will not be able to refund then afaik.

Surely someone recalls the details but short story is OBS is not at fault here

Quoting: syylkProper Wayland support when? (Especially wrt shortcuts.)No shortcuts is (was?) a Wayland limitation, there was no API for OBS to capture shortcuts lol. I recall an announcement of a new, KDE Plasma only API for shortcut support, OBS could use that if / when it becomes available.

Windows compatibility layer Wine 11 arrives bringing masses of improvements to Linux

FYI, I tried crossover almost a year ago so my info may have fallen out of date.
Crossover downloads the installer of Office 365, the constantly updating variant of Office. The installer is executed in a 32 bit Wine prefix with Windows version set to Win7. The installer detects this and downloads an old version of Office 365 with fewer components ie. no OneDrive. Using a 64 bit prefix or Windows version Win10 immediately crashes the installer.
There may have been improvements in the last 1 year & few months so don't quote me on this info lol.

Quoting: scaineI always find the disconnect between enterprise/management and the general public on GenAI absolutely amazing.I'm terribly confused by the disconnect between online realms (Gol, discord, reddit, you name it) and real life interactions. People I talk to take chatbots as a given and use them all the time. I use chatbots not so often (and when I do, mostly for research, it is just so good at that) because the few times I used them I noticed mistakes.

@TheSHEEEP the problem with the Clown emote was that people (clowns, dare I say) deliberately wrote idiotic posts with the intention of receiving clown reactions and/or Steam points. So with the lack of clown reaction, you may start seeing fewer idiotic posts.
