Quoting: CyrilBut the real question maybe is: do you want to learn? :tongue:

Well, I dunno about Linuxer, but I don't. Or rather, I don't want to learn this topic. There is too much knowledge in the world to learn it all, and I have different priorities.

Even if it means you can't use a software you want?

If it's important enough software I may have to learn that stuff, but I don't want to, it would be hours wasted from my life that I can never get back. I would consider it a failure of the software ecosystem that I was put in that position.

Quoting: SolarwingI bought Steam Deck last year and I've no desire to buy Asus Rog Ally

Me neither. How has that thing been doing, anyway? We had a big stir about it but since then things have been quiet--are they selling?

Story of our lives as Linux users . . . :wink:

The advantage is that we can wait until there is a better product. Going by the reviews (both positive and negative) the game does seem to need quite a bit more time in the oven.

I was making a sort of more broad joke, that Linux always seems to get support from one lonely outpost but not the main settlement, as it were.

Quoting: Linuxerhoww do i launch or install this... downloaded https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/archive/refs/tags/v0.6.0.tar.gz [External Link] and extracted an bunch of files apeared but none of them brings an install program or launch when doubble clicking .... like the earlier poster said URG :shock:

edit: i realize to make the quickinstall file executable from menus an then launch but:

/home/tuxer/Downloads/ckb-next-0.6.0/quickinstall: line 51: cmake: command not found
An error occurred,
press enter to exit.

so this software doesn't work or am i just dumb as shoes!?

You need to learn/understand some basic things about all of this, and after it won't be difficult as it seems. :wink:
But for now, the easiest way for you, as you're on Ubuntu, is to install it via PPA really, how to here:
https://launchpad.net/~tatokis/+archive/ubuntu/ckb-next [External Link]

but installing an app is basics? usually i just click on store to install or download and click to install. i asked from a friend tho. he said never add a ppa their dangerous and wait for a snap package :huh:

Well, ppas aren't as safe as just using the base distro stuff, but still probably plenty safer than getting into compiling packages and in general installing things by hand. So if you were willing to try that, a ppa ain't nuthin'.

Quoting: scaineI mean, it's also Platinum in Proton, so I don't really get the reticence, but whatever - I used to be the same, but since the Steam Deck, I don't have the energy for "no tux" anymore.

Oh my god, the Steam Deck has been draining his energy! So they're vampiric. Knew they were too good to be true! :tongue:

Quoting: Geppeto35I need to install a new linux. I should give it a try, see how does it compare to Linux Voyager, I probably choose between one these two

Well, I don't know if you'll like it (I do, but tastes and use cases differ), but I think you can be fairly confident that trying it will be pretty painless. Not a lot of mucking around to get Mint up and running.

Games that aren't open source are normal, and there are various reasons that isn't likely to change unless our whole economic system changes. Game engines that aren't open source . . . I kind of hope gradually become eclipsed by ones that are. But emulator things for making old games work that aren't open source are . . . problematic IMO. Especially when there's just one guy doing it. He loses interest or gets hit by a bus and then it just quietly rots because nobody can ever update it again, and so much for preserving the game. Not a basket I'd want to be putting my eggs in.

Quoting: slembckeNah, he got an Epic Megagrant specifically to work on that project.

Well, if someone's paying the piper . . . dunno how far that will stretch, though; lest we forget, they're actually more like Epic Kilogrants.
