More like, Linux supports GOG and they don’t try to stop it.

The thing you want is the Heroic Games Launcher, you can login to your GOG/Epic/Amazon and install/launch games (using WINE/Proton) pretty much like using Steam.

It’s even available as a Flatpak so you can use it on the Steam Deck.

Just block them and their community and move on, you’re not going to have a good faith conversation with them and their presence in comment threads is just rage baiting.

It’s a gimmick account of a troll, don’t feed them.

PXE booting is pretty neat, but it’s a lot to setup for home use.

I did a lab where we configured an immutable distro to boot using an encrypted RAM drive as storage (using TSME). The machine had no storage other than RAM (and NFS mounts). We were trying to harden a machine against coldboot/evil maid attacks. It was a neat project but a bit too clunky for daily driving and also, a RAM drive in this economy?

What I don’t understand is why super critical errors are hidden away in a log instead of being shoved in my face once they happen.

That’s a choice you make when you’re setting up your bootloader, you pass a kernel parameter that tells the kernel what to show on the screen.

https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

If you’re using grub, look in /etc/default/grub. There will be a line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“<kernel parameters>” you can set the log level to something (like loglevel=3) and it will write the errors to the console on boot. The higher the number the more information is written to the console.

That was 2 hours-ish that could have been just 5 minutes if the system had actually told me it was having problems with connecting to a drive.

It did, it almost certainly wrote the error into the system log. That’s generally the first thing you should check if you’re having such low-level problems, like a failure to boot.

Going forward some good advice is: Get a USB stick, install Ventoy and put a system rescue image on it: https://www.system-rescue.org/

This way, if you’re ever having issues booting you can boot into a live environment and read the logs.

If you mount your system drive on /sysroot, you can read the system log with

journalctl --root=/sysroot

Add a -b flag to see just the log from the latest boot (and -b -1 from the previous, -b -2 from the one before, etc)

And, surprisingly, it wasn’t DNS

Yeah, probably a .bashrc difference between users.

It could also be ~/.inputrc (or /etc/inputrc if not in the user’s home directory.) https://man.archlinux.org/man/readline.3

That’s one small step for linux users, a giant leap for nerdkind

Lycos has the answer

Gamers Nexus says it’s about $70 more than self-built. (for the 512GB model)

So, you’re paying $70 for a small form factor PC in a custom case, with SteamOS. Another thing is that you can choose to buy a Steam Controller for $20 less than buying the controller by itself and you also don’t have to wait in the pre-order line for the standalone controller (which is currently extended into 2027).

The hardware shortage makes it not a great time to buy a gaming PC, but in the current market it’s priced competitively and you get to jump the line buying a Steam Controller as well.

Putting yourself into the position of trying to solve a practical problem is the best way to learn.

If you fail completely, you can always restore your system and try again (you have a backup, right?)

Same. I saw a civilian car bug out with some weird physics and some texture pop-in issues and that was pretty much it.

It felt like it needed some more polish/balance in the combat system/mob AI system (esp the cops). I thought I became powerful too quickly, playing Netrunner I could just pull up in a car outside and use the cameras to kill everything in the area before walking in and collecting the loot.

It was fun, it just didn’t feel too challenging. The balance pass that came with the expansion is much better.

My friend was playing on a Playstation and his experience mirrors the social media complaints.

Yeah, this project is built as a docker container. The repo has instructions on starting the container. You should watch a few introductory videos on Docker so you understand the concepts and basic usage.

Once it’s started, the machine that docker is running on will be serving a website that acts as the application. If you’re running docker on your desktop you can then open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/ and you will see something that looks like the demo link above.

This doesn’t expose it to the Internet. If you’re running this on a home LAN with a router between you and the ISP’s modem (or the ISP’s modem is a router/AP) then only computers connected to your network will be able to access it. You would have to go to your router’s administration console and specifically forward a port for that service so that people on the Internet could get past your modem.

I look forward to hearing his work again when Duke Nukem Forever finally comes out.

The curse of optimization.

People feel compelled to use them in order to advance/unlock things faster.

They’re fun to stumble on, but once you know how to do them it’s hard to make other choices which are obviously less powerful.

Having them be possible in custom game modes wouldn’t be so bad if they were just for challenge and didn’t tie into the unlock/progression system.

Yeah, maybe tell the guy who suggested plugging the laptop into the TV INSTEAD OF USING A MEDIA PLAYER.

Oh goodness, you’re right.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the Selfhosted community. We in the Selfhosted community always looking for like minded people who absolutely abhor technology, that’s why we’re here in the Selfhosted community. We here at the Selfhosted community are just aghast at all of the newcomers who are constantly trying to make use use “electronics” like some NERD who lives in their parents basement.

Thank you for sticking up for home decour, it is an important part of our lives which simply cannot simply be brushed aside because someone (probably a NERD) wants to use “technology”. Like I always say, this computer thing is just a passing fad which will never catch on while a stylish living room is forever.

This site is populated by the illiterate.

Yes, there certainly are a lot of clueless people who are unable to comprehend a statement.

Unless you’re watching your shows on Netflix, or other commercial streaming services, then you’re committing piracy too. ‘Streaming’ a show is just downloading it and them immediately deleting it.

Piracy is downloading/making a copy of a piece of media that you’re not licensed to copy. It doesn’t become less illegal because you delete it.

If you’re against piracy then you should not be streaming content that you haven’t paid for.

Well, make sure your interiour decoratour knows about media players which are about the size of a Visa Black card.
