  • What to do with !retropirates?

    Jump

  • When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

    Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

    I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

  • I'm committing to Linux, but it's so unstable. Any suggestions?

  • I think you’ll find nearly every significant FOSS project will have American contributors software in its development. Typically, anyone who can code and wants to contribute can do so.

  • What are you talking about being downvoted for that. Ubuntu is not well-liked and switching it out is a common suggestion.

  • Unneeded new distro(s) and their immaturity.

    Jump

  • Mint didn’t really see any sort of popularity until around 2010 as I remember.

    I’m aware it’s initial release was earlier (surprised it was exist in 06!), but the reality of those times is that Ubuntu was still building itself up let alone Mint getting traction yet.

  • What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?

    Jump

  • I didn’t know these two girls because they were a few years older, but I knew other kids who did know them. Wasn’t good.

  • We’d grab our bikes and ride across town. If they saw our bikes were gone they knew we’d be back later.

    After the abduction and murder of two local girls, this wasn’t so accepted anymore. Kids were still out and about, but you’d get grilled about where you go, who you’re with, where are you coming home. You were supposed to be at someone’s house, mum would call and make sure that’s where you were. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bega_schoolgirl_murders

    I don’t see any kids out around town anymore now though. Just the ones that walk from the bus stop to their house after school. That might just say more about todays youth culture though.

  • Unneeded new distro(s) and their immaturity.

    Jump

  • Ubuntu, Knoppix and MEPIS? I first used Ubuntu in 2006, but it was still very immature then. I didn’t really know much about any other Debian derivatives.

    The other big one that was popular was Mandrake but that was rpm based, and a bit later PClinuxOS which was Mandrake based. I didn’t think Debian derivatives were much of a thing then aside from Ubuntu.

  • Does Anyone Else Find the Sega Genesis' Sound Annoying?

    Jump

  • I love it. Even GEMS stuff people always complain about - Chakan has some of my favourite vgm ever.

    To me, the SNES was terrible sounding. Awful muffled music, or some really good composition but then the SNES puts so much reverb on it that’s all you could hear. It’s not all bad, but mostly. Especially the Final Fantasy games sounded very nice.

  • openSUSE’s Agama Installer Lands with Enhanced Web UI

  • Any project is beneficial if someone is passionate about doing it.

    The “this person shouldn’t work on this project, they should work on something that benefits me” line is selfish as hell.

    If the projects you see aren’t the projects you want, then DIY. But don’t tell people they wasted their time because you don’t want to use their software.

  • Curious about making the switch from Windows

    Jump

  • I just opened Bottles and clicked to run the executable. Not quite, I manually set the launch options to disable video and set 1024x768.

    But aside from that, clicked run executable and I’m in and playing:

    EDIT: without disabling the videos, they play but you can’t skip them and then the game crashes afterwards. But from what I heard that also occurs on windows? It was a windows user saying it needs to launch with no video.

    For posterity, the launch options for LEGO racers under wine: -novideo -horzres 1024 -vertres 768

  • Why? Why can't? Why don't?

    Jump

  • Are you implying that no younger bands are introspective, or share their thoughts in the world via their songs, because your favourite genre isn’t popular?

    Seems like a very bad take.

  • Curious about making the switch from Windows

    Jump

  • Old games are significantly easier to run.

    I look up old games I want to play and see just complaints about how hard it is to run it, links to defunct forums where someone has once posted a modded .exe to improve stability in post-NT systems, etc.

    Often when I run those using wine the game just starts up.

  • Stop Skeletons from Fighting got 16 Player Faceball working on Gameboy

  • I don’t care about faceball 2000 but I want to see Uncle Derek, so I will absolutely watch it

  • Nexus Mods improve the new open source app with UI upgrades, Cyberpunk 2077 fixes and more

    Jump

  • It does not.

    Currently supports Stardew Valley.

    Next in their roadmap is Cyberpunk 2077, Mount & Blade 2, and Baldurs Gate 3.

  • Don’t try to use it, it’s an old discontinued version of SteamOS based on Debian that was around long before the Steam Deck.

    Bazzite will get you a similar experience to the current Steam OS with better desktop experience.

  • Looking for YouTube Tutorials on Arch

  • As you’ve been daily driving Linux for 7 years already, I don’t understand what issues you think you’ll have with Arch?
