The increase in the energy bill to keep games like this and Banana constantly running in the background outweigh the amount of money any player's going to make on games like this. The vast majority of the money being made off these types of "games" is going into the developers' pockets, and the rest is chump change. The easiest get rich quick scheme is to make your own get rich quick scheme, it seems.

24.1 just got pushed to Fedora's mainstream repos, giving NVK a shot and it seems to work just fine. Most importantly, everything isn't flickering anymore. Just did a reinstall to make totally sure the proprietary drivers were cleaned out.

...and I was able to just install Fedora and already have my drivers set up and ready to go, without having to worry about installing drivers. Have AMD cards just been plug-and-play on most distros this whole time? I've been missing out.

Edit: Yeah uhhhhhh, the drivers as they stand right now have some issues that'll need worked on. I think after a good while, it's gonna end up working really well, but I ended up installing the proprietary drivers due to some issues.

That is a laundry list of entry methods. Didn't think it let you go that overboard with it.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWhile the Atari VCS 800 was delayed a year or so due to Covid hitting right as it was about to be made / shipped, at least it's a proper Linux install and not Android! It was a fully Linux OS on a game console before the Steam Deck, which I know was mostly due to them being cheap asses, but the new CEO has been getting some decent support out of it!

I assumed that the VCS was running Windows because I saw Fortnite screenshots in the promotional material. Guess I was wrong lol, though I guess you can install Windows on the thing.

Quoting: PenglingThey've released it as a mobile telephone app where you can link other mobile telephones to your mobile telephone to use as controllers, presumably so they can say that they delivered something.

I mean the Amico was very likely going to be made out of couple years old phone parts running off some special locked-down version of Android anyways.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI might be misremembering something I heard a long time ago...

lmao I never read the whole Canada tweet until today. That's hilarious.
Yeah, stand up against Microsoft... by making it your mission to continue using their products. Either you keep making an invasive, broken operating system and I keep giving you money, or you 180 where I will give you money. Either way, I will continue to give you money. That's the level of stupidity I come to expect from Mr. Sweeney.

Is that Amico thing still happening? I just assumed it was silently canned, or it was never going to come out and was just one of Tommy Tallarico's famous lies.
I know the people who pre-ordered the games have them, without the system to play it on [External Link].

Waiting for this to land on Fedora, I'm really excited to give NVK a shot. If NVK can do all my gaming, then my NVIDIA card is suddenly plug-and-play on most distros.
