Quoting: legluondunetDid you try to play old Linux native games?
It's a very difficult task to launch them on recent Linux distributions.
Today it's more easy to launch a Windows game on Linux than an old Linux native game.

It is not that bad. Usually, most of the issues are quite easy to solve. I play UT2004 natively on my Fedora 36, it is an out-of-box experience thanks to Luxtorpeda, but it was not that hard to get working even without using Luxtorpeda or Lutris - just copy new versions of some libs to the UT2004/System directory, then edit one line in UT2004 config file, at least if I remember correctly. Similar "tweaking" is also common on Windows and its gaming community. Sure, backward compatibility of Windows is sadly way better, but many games still need various tweaks and fixes to be able to run properly on latest versions of Windows.

Quoting: GuestI'm surprised they directly addressed it instead of a quiet fix. I know Blizz has been secretly pretty Linux/WINE friendly, but they don't usually come out and say it like they did here, do they?

Longer time ago, they even officially sent some patches to Wine to make WoW run better. :wink:

Seems to run great, but sadly another game that has no native port. :sad:

Quoting: damarrinThey actually confirmed somewhere the "OS of choice" will include a Linux or two? The choice could be between Windows home and pro or whatever they're called now.

I'm afraid it will more likely be Win 10 and Win 11. And probably just the crappy Home edition.

Yay! I am going to update the Flatpak [External Link]. :smile:

Nice interview, but I really dislike how Canonical is forcing Snap. Also, it's really sad that Ubuntu is one of the few distros that have really bad Flatpak support with outdated Flatpak/XDG portal packages, no Flatpak support in their GNOME Software fork etc. :sad:

It is also becoming Pay to Win, so no money from me.

Quoting: GuestGiven Elon Musk's childlike understanding of free speech (basically what he likes is good, what he doesn't like is bad) things are about to go from bad to worse on Twitter.

>basically what he likes is good, what he doesn't like is bad

That is exactly the mindset of a majority of Twitter users and exactly what is wrong with Twitter. :wink:

Reminds me of World of Padman that I used to play many years ago on Linux. :smile:
