Quoting: elmapulnow we have better android emulators on windows than on linux, microsoft is making windows run android games and even google is trying to do the same.

Oh, waydroid works relatively well. And there's interest in it thanks to the linux-on-mobiles effort (pinephone, librem5 etc).

define works, i heard the same about some emulator but never was able to find any app that it was capable of runing (not that it would matter to find an app if the ones i need dont work anyway)

To make sure, I just installed it trough the AUR (I'm already running a zen kernel). Installed F-Droid, checked that supertuxkart worked (I'm getting in-game, but don't have touch), then as I thought you might not be satisfied, I downloaded the Aurora store from F-Droid, then Excel and power point from there. Seems to work fine, although it's a bit fiddly and not well-integrated (I don't have a desktop environment, just sway, so that's not too bad, I guess a DE could integrate better). Microsoft's apps require me to sign in to create a new file so I just downloaded one from there [External Link].

It looks like the Android UI assumes it works fullscreen. I can't really blame it. Permission mapping could be better too.

I didn't find an app that doesn't work, but then even on my phone I only use apps from F-Droid. Obviously I expect low-level apps like wifi analyzer, miracast, etc to be mostly broken for now.

Quoting: Rafii2198Does it only work with official launcher? Or can I use 3rd party launcher like MultiMC just fine?

As long as the executable is called minecraft-launcher it should work, AFAIK? You can force it on or off if you want, as highlighted in the article.

I have to test whether it helps minetest or not.

Nice :D

I tried playing this game a while back (2013-ish), but got busted by the "copy protection" scheme that asks you to look stuff up in a manual. IIRC there was no manual in Bethesda's website download...

Sounds like a RTS/FPS hybrid like Natural Selection (first [External Link] or second one [External Link]) or Nuclear Dawn [External Link]?

Quoting: questioner9Last month or so Liam did an article on the top 100 most popular Steam games working status on Linux and some games did not work because DRM was not supported on Proton.

Does this news about CEG DRM mean all DRMs used for those games are now working with Proton? Or are there more DRMs still?

I'll admit to being curious about this too. There's precisely one game I'm interested in running, specifically the multiplayer aspect from the CEG supported angle, and it's been quite stubborn on the matter. Space Marine.

Works AFAIK. Singleplayer works, I haven't tried multiplayer, but there's a positive report on protondb from 2 days ago.

I think CEG DRM used to work via wine, but not via proton (being Valve's DRM, I think it used to communicate with the steam client, which is precisely where Proton differs from regular wine).

Quoting: 14Splitgate is a lot of fun and I'm really glad to enjoy it on Linux. I will be sad if people get bored of it too fast. Modern gamers are a really tough crowd with too many options and no attention span.

I must admit I got a bit bored. All that grinding really eroded my patience away, so I haven't reconnected since I finished the battle pass.

Grinding for what? I'm still at a loss as to what's the point of getting XP. I just play to win.

Battle pass, daily and season challenges, item challenges. There's a lot to grind, and as a completionist I'm really easily lured into it. I am quite close to gold for a few weapons, and already have the gold BFB.

I still can't run RAGE withouth graphical issues (I had the same issues when the game was released, back them on AMD/windows/catalyst, and now on AMD/RadeonSI). I wonder if zink would help here.

Daily logins, daily play streak... This isn't duolinguo, this was starting to strain me a bit, so I decided to take a step back.

Plus the UI is so bad. I have like 60 drops to open, that would easily take me 10 minutes. And there aren't that many gamemodes, no splitscreen, weapons are not that distinctive and hard to recognize when an enemy holds them. Starting the game takes a while.

I still like the game, but it has a few flaws that I would like to see addressed.

I like that the doom engine is kind of like a generic virtual machine now. Is it turing-complete? No need for Webassembly!

needing the IWAD from Doom 2

Missed opportunity for a clean sheet design, not depending on existing games :)
