  • I admit this is speculation, but I got the impression that Prusa is moving away from open source because they're salty about other companies cloning their products and selling them much cheaper than the "original" parts. Proprietary parts, patents, etc. is of course worse for the user than a fully open ecosystem, but he isn't necessarily going full anti-consumer.

  • Paranoia Level: Virtualization vs Isolated Machines for Self-Hosting?

    Jump

  • My paranoia level: Even though I'm pretty good with computers in general, I would not trust myself to set up a safe public facing service, which is the reason that I don't have any of those on my home server. If I needed something like that I wouldn't self host it.

  • The question is probably more related to what he has done rather than what he is doing right now, and he is kind of famous for having created Linux in the past. To someone who doesn't know anything about Linux licenses I think it would be easy to suspect that Torvalds might have some kind of ownership of his creation.

  • Apex with EAC worked perfectly fine on Linux for the last 2 years, EA just decided to break it by replacing EAC with their own anti-cheat which is Windows only.

  • Sad thing is that search engines have got so bad, and usually return so much garbage blog spam that searching directly on reddit is more likely to give useful results. I hope a similar amount of knowledge will build up on Lemmy over time.

  • Apex Legends Recent Reviews Are Now Mostly Negative Because of the Removal of Linux Support

    Jump

  • I think Microsoft and their partners have been dreaming about turning PCs into fully locked down platforms for a long time, completely unrelated to gaming. Hardware DRM including display devices and cables, and only running "trusted" software is the end goal.

  • I think the problem is that game publishers also want the cheapest and laziest solutions. What EA (and others) are doing now are basically "give us full control of your computer so we can do whatever we want" with their kernel level anti-cheats. Server side anti-cheat requires more processing that they have to pay for, and requires more work to develop heuristics and other algorithms to detect cheaters.

  • Apex Legends no longer playable on Linux

    Jump

  • Would be interesting to know why some people downvoted this comment, if they think there's some reason to not play The Finals on Linux. I've only done the tutorial so far, and the gameplay seems somewhat similar to Apex, it's also f2p, and uses EAC so currently no issues with anti-cheat. Might not look like an indie game but it feels like a decent alternative to Apex.

  • Which Mouse / Keyboard is fully supported on Linux?

    Jump

  • I bought a Razer Basilisk 3 because it was the only mouse where I could reach both thumb buttons with the fingertip-ish grip I use. Wasn't fully supported by Linux software at first, but worst case I could program it on Windows which I had on a dual boot at the time. Now that I can use it with Polychromatic and OpenRazer it even works better on Linux. On Windows the Razer software won't let me save individual LED colours to the mouse, and needs to be running all the time in order to do that..

  • I just found out there's an alternative for the EA app called 'maxima' (similar to Legendary for Epic Games). It would be great if this could be implemented in Heroic Games Launcher

  • My guess is that Microsoft will provide their own kernel level anticheat to game developers, using a secure API which will be impossible to emulate with Wine etc.

  • Having to use windows at work makes me appreciate my desktop Linux experience at home.

  • We just had Windows Update brick itself due to a faulty update. The fix required updating them manually while connected to the office network, making them unusable for 2-3 hours. Another issue we've had is that Windows appears to be monopolizing virtualization HW acceleration for some memory integrity protection, which made our VMs slow and laggy. Fixing it required a combination of shell commands, settings changes and IT support remotely changing some permission, but the issue also comes back after some updates.

    Though I've also had quite a lot of Windows problems at home, when I was still using it regularly. Not saying Linux usage has been problem free, but there I can at least fix things. Windows has a tendency to give unusable error messages and make troubleshooting difficult, and even when you figure out what's wrong you're at the mercy of Microsoft if you are allowed to change things on your own computer, due to their operating system's proprietary nature.
