GE-Proton 8-21 released fixing up FSR issues
23 Oct 2023 at 10:25 am UTC

Quoting: B"Text Guide to install GE-Proton:"
you should give instructions to add the GE-Proton using the decky plugin "wine cellar".
That's a lot easier, as you don't need to open desktop mode to install/remove GE-Proton versions.
That's a bit out of scope for this, I don't feel it's necessary to install a whole plugin system just to get GE-Proton. And it still requires desktop mode to set up Decky anyway.

Quoting: MayeulCLiam, I'm curious to know where the server is physically located. Is it rented? At your home? In a data center? (Colocated?).
A fancy data centre in Michigan, USA.

Quoting: SamgarrHey, is there any way to support GoL with cryptocurrency? Preferably Bitcoin/Lightning.
Nope, sorry, and no plans for crypto either.

Quoting: gileriI was surprised to not see Liberapay in the donation options, and sure enough, your account seems disabled there.

Is there a reason for not accepting donations there anymore ? Fees are lower, also there is no VAT. I'd love to be able to support GoL though Liberapay if that's an option for you.
Sorry, no plans to return to it, too many issues last I tried it and I just don’t like how it functions. With how it works now, it’s really no different to doing a PayPal donation.

Quoting: geekeningWhat made you go with AlmaLinux instead of Rocky Linux?
Googled for a while, sounded like the better option and just more community focused overall. They both do the same thing so just a matter of what business model you prefer.

Quoting: Fester_MuddAlright now that sounds pretty good for we who want to support Steam for all their efforts towards Linux. So buying a game with Steam key supports also Valve if i understood right.
As far as I'm aware Valve get no cut of third-party key sales.

Quoting: Fester_MuddI've never bought anything from Humble Store or even looked into it, i might now. Looks interesting. Do they have a native Linux client? Or how does the Humble thing work?
It's mostly just Steam keys, occasional GOG and Epic keys. You buy, they give a key. Not much else to it.

Quoting: linuxjacquesSo will the GoL recommendation on Steam change from "Not Recommended" now?
Changed to Informational (only option between yes or no), since it's Steam Deck specific.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell damn.

I'm kind of surprised it's out and I didn't know. F'rinstance, usually an HBS/Paradox release would be covered on, well, GamingOnLinux. Maybe it was a victim of that RSS feed thing Liam mentioned.
I didn’t cover the release as I just wasn’t interested in it, and had plenty of other stuff to cover. My inbox is constantly overflowing at the moment…
