Easy Anti-Cheat not working on Linux? Seems a glibc update broke it

Quoting: setzer22Honestly, this obsession with dynamically linking everything and updating as soon as possible is a huge house of cards waiting to fall under its own weight.
Sounds like you should take a look at NixOS [External Link] ^^

System76 gives the Oryx Pro laptop a powerful refresh

Quoting: Liam DaweThey don't?
Not yet at least ;)
Putting the driver into a firmwareblob and opensouring a barebones kernelspace driver that basically only loads that blob while still relying on pure proprietary userspace will hopefully yield a better experience when running the bleeding edge, but still is even less FOSS than AMD and Intel with their large binary firmware packages.

Open Source Friendly and Nvidia Graphics don't really fit together...
Alder Lake sure is a nice CPU, but nothing should stop system76 from combining them with mobile radeon, should it?
I mean, for the Lambda Tensorbook and it's ML focus, Nvidia is the better choice - but for a gaming centric Linux laptop?!

I'm really tempted i must say. But after what Annapurna did with Outer Wilds, i'm having a hard time supporting them tbh...

The other interesting question when deciding if it's acceptable to deviate from "no tux, no bucks": Is it Deck Verified due to support by the Dev or is it just testing by Valve?

much more annoying than the scaling discussion is that the 16" executive is always bundled with a dGPU...Besides that (and the battery that is smaller, probably as a result of the dGPU i would assume?) it really looks like a nice piece of kit.

A shame they didn't call that service provider out so other devs can stay clear of such a company...

Wine manager Bottles default runner now based on Valve's Wine fork and Proton

I first used bottles two days ago because i needed a way to use that Origin abomination properly contained (due to Mass Effect being free on prime gaming, that was an offer i couldn't resist ^^) and this seems to be by far the easiest route to sandbox wine applications.
And i must say i was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Given, you don't have as much (easily accessible) granular control as in, say Lutris, but admittedly that's not needed nearly as often as it was a few years back anyway.

System76 announce the 67% Launch Lite keyboard

Great - the first one is already too small and instead of following up with a proper size keyboard they make an even smaller version? :/

Quoting: CorbenCould create huge log files though :)
Worth a try none the less, so thanks! ;)
Wasn't aware about that env, the DRG logs show differing errors on each crash though.
