  • Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers

    Jump

  • Apparently there's a few problems with the flatpak version, like you can't run gamescope or start a steam big picture session.

  • RDR2 on Fedora 42 stuck in borderless windowed, can’t force fullscreen

    Jump

  • That's not the point, dxvk isn't gonna get used at all if the game is running dx12 or native vulkan.

  • KDE Encourages Windows 10 Users to Switch to Linux

    Jump

  • People making an informed choice about linux vs windows are a minority, the majority just don't realize switching is even an option let alone have the technical know-how to go through with it. As long as windows comes pre installed, nothing will touch its hegemony.

  • Kids have plenty of ways to get access to lootboxes that aren't gated by a credit card, not to mention these games tend to blur the line for paid lootboxes by giving "free" in game premium currencies. Most of these games are fully aware it's a kid playing, they just turn a blind eye because it profits them.

    This whole personal responsibility is the same shit that the plastic industry has managed to pull, they are the ones doing it and they are the ones profiting from it, the responsibility is on them to make sure kids aren't playing their games.

  • "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

    Jump

  • There's plenty of different endings, but yeah that's probably the one they'll make canon.

    The thing is Geralt is The Witcher, making Ciri the protagonist is a bastardization of the saga. Imagine that J.K rowling came up with a new book, titled it Harry Potter 8, and made the protagonist Hermione. To me this shows a real lack of understanding of their audience, people play The Witcher for the fantasy of being Geralt, of being a monster killer, of hooking up with every sorceress. But obviously IP sells, and they aren't gonna change the title of the saga to something like "child of the elder blood".

    I wish them the best of luck, maybe they'll pull off a fallout 3 and reinvent themselves. But I personally will be passing on this spinoff.

  • If anything, Ciri's the character whose story is wrapped up by the end of Witcher 3, she saved the world and fulfilled her destiny. Unlike Geralt or the sorceresses, she does get old too.

    It's definitely understandable that a lot of players would feel betrayed at having Ciri becoming the MC after 3 games of Geralt. People would riot if you made someone else than Lara Croft the MC of tomb raider. A better solution would probably be a character creator for a new generation of witchers. Ciri is too powerful to be the MC.

  • A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them

    Jump

  • It was obviously a cash grab from the company before fucking off, you can't reasonably expect a lifetime vpn for 30 bucks. Either it eventually gets repriced, or they start mining all your information like every other "free" vpns.

  • End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

    Jump

  • Yeah, but I really don't want my computer to look like my phone.

    You might not, but it's certainly easier to use devices when they behave in similar ways. Like I usually install linux on my relatives PCs simply because if they run into an issue I can troubleshoot it much faster.

  • You do realise that even though it's not one of the official Mint variants, it's still possible to install Gnome on Mint with minimal fuss?

    Defaults matter because most people just don't change them. Also that's a terrible idea, you'll run into loads of issues and a lack of support for troubleshooting.

    Jump

  • Thing is, everyone has a phone now, and they spend an inordinate amount of time on it. Though I'm not excited about recommending Fedora either, the fact that it doesn't enable non-free software by default causes a bunch of issues.

  • Windows interface is also stuck in 2005, and the evidence suggests most people prefer that.

    Does it? Most people are spending all their time on their cell phone these days, and that's much closer to Gnome's UI. But yeah, anyone accustomed to windows will be better on Mint and cinnamon, however everyone else will be better off on Gnome.

  • NotJustBikes uses Linux!

    Jump

  • It's arch KDE under the hood, as long as a terminal is accessible and you have root privileges you could probably run an airplane on it if you'd like. The relevant point is the default setting, the thing that nobody changes and why google's paying apple 18 billion per year.

  • Doesn't it boot straight into steam big picture? That alone should be a deterrent to most people wanting to run it as a desktop OS.

  • Lenovo Cuts the Windows Tax and offers Cheaper Laptops with Linux Pre-installed

    Jump

  • The cost is actually negative given that they get to pre-install whatever software they want into it.

  • Microsoft is actually the least problematic of the console racket (Sony, Nintendo and MS), games release simultaneously to pc and they offer cross compatibility. Maybe the EU will address it eventually, but i guess mobile takes precedent given that everyone has a cell phone.
