I didn’t say that. I said why pick Discord from the myriad of other solutions?

What’s wrong with a tried and tested open forum? Hell, a lemmy server or even subreddit would suffice.

I mean, don’t use walled gardens as your primary community base in the first place right? This is a ‘solution’ to a problem that doesn’t need to exist.

I fell there’s still 12 months of dev to go in this game before it’s ready, when they add the missing stuff (now called DLCs) and address all the bugs and stupid design decisions they have to walk back.

Ahhh, more corporate stacking I see. Yeh, I’ve seen this one before, it doesn’t end well

They’re just mean via proton, which tbh is fine. Everything works great through proton.

Unfortunately, his right foot might need a star

Ahhh ok, that makes sense, thanks!

Im confused with Steam VR for linux. I cant seem to get it to work, and the FAQs page says vr streaming for linux isn’t ready yet. So are these updates just in preparation for a future working capability?

Made a complaint to the California Dept of Consumer Affairs. I used the way back machine to show at the I purchased the phone, their policy was “full refund, no questions asked” which they silently changed a few years later and then hide behind as an excuse to deny refunds. Turns out that’s illegal.

A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They’ve burned any respected reputation they had.

Yeh, I’ll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it’s stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.

Yeh, tried ALVR but ran into to many issues to troubleshoot that I just gave up. Figured it might only be a few months wait until Steam sorted something out, give how much effort they have been giving to improving the linux gaming experience.

Exciting. Hopefully Steamlink for Quest on Linuz might be working soon.

Having to install a dual boot to windows again after many years has been such a horrible experience. Modern windows is now just openly hostile to the user, fighting you every step of the way, telling you it knows best and “if you would just submit to it, this whole experience would be better for all of us”. Like some nightmare monster created by combining an NSA agent, a control-freak abusive ex, and power hungry dictator, all rolled into one operating system…

I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it’s just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.

Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.

Anything that helps bookwyrm grow its knowledge library of books (missing a LOT of books that goodreads has) is a good idea. I fear however that combining anything which points people to where to pirate the book might not help the popularity/reputation of bookwyrm as a good OS alt to goodreads.

Does it work when you let it pick the proton version instead? I had the same issue when trying to force it to use proton experimental.

Purism is dead in the water following the atrocious Librem 5 fiascos.

Interesting. I like this approach. Incentivises and rewards map skill

I presume you’ve already done the obvious like verifying file integrity and making sure proton experimental is set as the runner?
