Would love to give this a go, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to compile this myself and neither Steam nor Lutris seem to like that exe.

Quoting: denyasisThese tools seem really interesting to me, but also seem very overwhelming. Like the amount of "pre-work" and setup and learning just scares me off of trying.

It definitely can be. You kind of have to put in the work to get the most out of it IMHO. I have been using FoundryVTT in the past and the best feature was the DnDBeyond importer addon. With that and a search plugin you can hit a shortcut to get a textbox to input something to search. That is a godsent for looking up spells and monster sheets and whatnot on the fly.
I'd argue that being a DM is overwhelming anyways even when playing fully analogue. I would rather put in the effort before the game starts and then have a smoother session as a result.
For instance I had it setup to automate attack rolls. Select a Goblin, mark a player, click on the weapon and it rolls it all. Attack roll, checks the targets AC, handles advantage/disadvantage, damage, checks resistances of the target, hell I even had it setup to play a little sound and animation in case of shooting an arrow :D

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualIn my opinion, I would not purchase a laptop with a discrete GPU anymore. It kills battery life, especially on Linux

I wish Thunderbolt was fast enough to properly use eGPUs. Maybe Thunderbolt 5 will provide a decent little boost.

Got this game for ages in my library and still have not played it. It might be time to finally mess about with VR in linux for the first time. I'm guessing my Vive will just work, if not I am taking my complains to Valve :grin:

Quoting: GuestI will laugh if after this nvidia shows up and says "you know what, dlss 3 is actually possible on rtx 2000 series" because it will be the last chance to push this proprietary nonsense on people

Anyone remember Gsync Displays? Me neither.

Oh no, I have dreaded the moment I could not escape it any longer.

A beautiful thing to see. I've yet to play the spin-off, but I'm gonna wait till it's much cheaper anyways.

Their firmware update is only designed for Windows

That is just straight up trolling.

You gotta compare the price to premium Roll20 for instance. That will be $100 per year, so the math is quite clear in that regard. I'd wager no other system can compare with Foundry's module system either.
The main downside is that you can sink WAY too many hours into just setting it up just how you like it. Linux users should be accustomed to the feeling.

Quoting: sarmad

Quoting: HolzkohlenWindows 11 takes up 64 gb? Seriously?

I have a drive with a freshly installed Windows 10, and by freshly I mean rally freshly installed with absolutely nothing added (I know this because I simply couldn't get Wifi or Ethernet to work so wasn't able to install anything, not even the drivers). It's currently sitting at 48.1 GB used! So, Windows 11 taking 64GB wouldn't be too far off from Windows 10. I'm not sure what the article means by saying Windows 10 needs a "minimum of 20GB"; maybe there are ways to minimize the installation to bring it down from ~48 to 20?

Or the 20GB was the initial size upon release of Win10 and it's this big because of updates?
Windows is weird in that regard.
