We all live in our own bubbles. I thought people didn't really care either, until more people in my own life starting talking about how they're using it. Plenty of them just switching off when I mentioned the dangers of blindly trusting things like ChatGPT.

Quoting: Tethys84Uhm... this is really old news now. Like from earlier last year. I could swear I even saw this reported about on here before.

Enhanced SC v1.4a was literally only released yesterday, as noted in the article.

I've added the Steam Snap path into the guide now, thanks.

Quoting: jurquizoFirst of all, great guide. I tried following the steam method and I couldn't find the folder of the Steam installation folder to change the shortcut, I think it is because I installed Steam via snap and I can't find similar paths inside the .snap folder. Could you help me?

Ah, that's an interesting one. Snap is a whole different can of worms.

Could you try looking in: ~/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps

See if the compatdata folder is there? Once we find the correct path, I'll add it to the guide.

Quoting: KoopaWhat has changed since the first reunion when the steam deck released?
Everyone now has a hipster beard!! 😂

Hipster?! I'll have you know mine started from laziness and now I'm not allowed to shave it off. The fiancée would not be happy 😆

Quoting: AL2009manWait, you aren't supposed to be covering Arc Raiders due to its GenAI usage?

Then again, 51% of Japanese developers already uses it [External Link]. Pandora's Box is opened I guess?

I touched on that in the article. Anyway, I cover whatever I see that fits based on my own personal choices and the industry at large. In this case, it's too big too ignore - especially so as a huge game that has the anti-cheat enabled for Linux. And personally speaking again - I see their use of generative AI as vastly more ethical than most other uses. They hired and paid people for the voices used. Not that it really adds anything to the game, bit silly really. They really didn't need AI for it.

Quoting: LoudTechieOn the nitpicky side, the call for evidence is for how to steer european open source toward their objectives, not the importance.

Well, it's both. It's clearly important because they're looking to base their future on it, and they want to steer people to them.

Quoting: bolokanarA little too late.

What makes you say that? What about it makes it too late?

It's been years...

And? Doesn’t really answer the question. It’s here now. Why is it too late? Too late for what?

Quoting: Guest

"Linux has, historically, been quite messy when it comes to software distribution. We have various distribution-specific packaging formats like .deb (Debian / Ubuntu), .rpm (Fedora) and the list just goes on and on. Canonical also went their own way with Ubuntu for the likes of Snap, but the real winner is going to end up being Flatpak and the main Flathub store."

Software distribution under Linux is anything but chaotic. On the contrary, it is extremely orderly.Each distribution offers its own software library and package format. This, among other things, increases system security. This makes it much more difficult to implant malware under Linux.

I firmly disagree. That is chaos. Every distribution has a different set of packages and versions, with security problems having to go through each distro for each package. It's not good, and chaos for developers to support - they've complained about it since forever. Having Flatpak with Flathub is great, for reasons already explained.
