And I'm regretting it even more now... :tongue: BlackBloodRum dared me to venture in here - he has a lot to answer for! :tongue:

Anyone got any mind-bleach?

While I dont have mind bleach...... I do have some naughty steam games that will make you go blind....... :wink:

That's no big secret to be fair! :grin:

Well why would you care about privacy if you haven't got kinks to hide? Why do we even have stuff like the GDPR here in the EU? The Linux pervert cabal has a lot of lobbying power here I suppose.

That makes me wonder: Am I automatically a member or the penguin cabal or do I have to apply somehow? Maybe I could find out on social media, but I was always too privacy-conscious to have an account... What a dilemma.

I totally understand, but don't worry. The penguin cabal is very open and accepting.

You become an automatic "Basic" tier member by simply installing Linux.

But there is the "Advanced" tier which you can join. To do so, you must first install Arch Linux with i3 Window Manager. Set an anime based wallpaper and finally, post a screenshot titled "I did it!" with a terminal window open showing your neofetch. :grin:

Spoiler, click me

(Sorry arch guys, I'm just kidding!)

P.S: This is trying to be a joke, but happy to remove if someone is offended or thinks is inappropriate.

Spank it 'til ya make it! That is what I always say!

Well, there's always more where that came from! :grin:

Quoting: Linux_RocksOh, and I must say that I don't really care if people know that I play hentai games or other adult games. When I was playing Trap Shrine my buddy joked with me on Discord, but it was all in good fun. I told him that I like my traps extra trappy. XD

My one other friend lets his two teenage sons use his Steam to play games. I asked him if they've seen his hentai games, and he said probably. I said he should ask them, but he said that he doesn't wanna scar them. I told him that it'd build character. Plus I bought him a couple of them. lol

Worse: They've been playing them without him knowing! :grin:

Finally, I can set my steam online status to "online".

Honestly, Epic games and Fortnite are largely irrelevant for us. They don't support us and they've made it clear they never will. So honestly, it's not even worth talking about them or their products and services at this point.

Give them the same attitude they give us. E.g: The we don't want you attitude. Forget them and move on.

I simply don't see much reason to give them free publicity or attention at this point.

Quoting: dorronI love Linux Mint, but I'm starting to feel like they are lagging behind with the kernel. I'm always having trouble updating to the latest one because of an old version of libc6...and that cannot be updated! (or at least I don't know how). Maybe someone can shed some light on it.

Everything else is just...a perfect desktop distro IMO.

Slackware. The answer is Slackware. Whenever anyone is annoyed with their distro, that's where I tell them to go. Cause it's a nice old school change of pace to refresh yourself. Then you can either stick with it, or use it till you find a new distro. 🐧

Or Gentoo to basically build your own distro. :tongue:

Naturally, thanks to Valve's Steam Play Proton, it's likely all of them will be playable on Linux / Steam Deck on or shortly after release in some form.

Given that a lot of Sega's PC games have been released for Linux already it's not out of the question that they'll work on Linux/Deck without Proton.

I guess we have a different definition of "a lot". Going by their publisher page [External Link], it's pretty rare actually. The last was Two Point Campus, 2022. Before that were Total War games from Feral, which they no longer do for Linux, and before that Two Point Hospital in 2018.

The majority of their Linux titles were either Feral, or all those retro emulated games in the SEGA collection. I really don't see any of these titles having Native Linux support.

Sad but true. With the success of proton, it simply means at this point there is no reason to develop games directly for Linux. Why spend money on the platform and support it officially when others will pick up your slack, for free?

It's a win-win for developers: They can profit from selling it to you, while having no expensive porting costs and no costs for providing support to you. (They can safely decline support tickets for Linux clients, under the guise of "We don't support that platform").

Proton is both a blessing and a curse for us. I do miss native games but I don't see them coming back, at least not any time soon. Thankfully, it doesn't matter, since we have lots of working games now, thanks to proton!

Well, but, it doesn't seem as if there's been much change in the number of native games released since Proton? I always expected people would stop doing it, but they haven't. Presumably, then, there are still some reasons to do it.

Indies still do, mostly. But I'm referring to big studio games so-called "AAA" games. We used to get big names like Tomb Raider, DiRT, Alien: Isolation (One of the best, most fun games!) with proper ports to Linux by Feral and such.

You just don't see that any more (or I don't anyway?)
