I also have problems with one machine, it just refuses to see the others. It might have something to do with the firewall or SElinux, but I’m not sure.

No, it works on other setups too! I have used the regular kde connect app with enlightenment DE for example.

KDE Connect: An app for iOS, android, pretty much every flavor of linux, windows, etc. that lets you connect any devices together to share files, show notifications of other devices, use your phone as an input device(keyboard, mouse), control multimedia applications(start, play, stop, etc.), trigger commands, and everything else if you make a plugin for it.

Linux, Xenia edition

Sure. The steam version is easiest, just install steam, get the game through steam and it should just work. Heres a website that tracks compatibility with linux through proton, valve’s solution to running windows games, its installed by default when you get steam: https://www.protondb.com/app/389730

finally

Is it the Ur-Quan masters, aka Star Control II?

No they did not. You are literally spreading misinformation.

You are allowed to criticise the leaders of israel, its not banned.

It is because their admins are in Germany and they fear the extreme repercussion that the German State has done recently. Did you even read the post you pasted? Are are you intentionally trying to stir up drama?

Not everyone lives in safety these days. Fascism has made it hard to do things like host a volunteer run online forum safely. There are cases where the heavily armed anti-terrorism unit SEK search peoples houses at gun point for this. Do you think online moderators should be required to catch a bullet for your posts?

I had some bad experiences with wine/proton, especially on older hardware. There are sometimes weird bugs that are very hard to reproduce. For example: I couldnt play starfield for about a year because most textures were missing. No idea what was causing it. After a year it suddenly worked. Generally if you check Protondb for any game you will find that a few people have crazy bugs, even if everyone else says that it runs perfectly. I think I dont have a single game in my library that has a “Platinum” compatibility rating.

I think it boils down to how would you prefer to support linux players: By fixing bugs in your port, or chasing after bugs in wine/proton. The negatives of native ports that other people have raised are because many (larger) developers make the initial linux port, and then forget about it. Civilisation 6 for example has a good linux port. Yay! But they stopped updating it years ago. Many bugs were never fixed, and linux players dont even have access to the newest dlc! Compare it to running Civ 5 in wine. Things mostly work, exept mod support. Most mods just dont work. Who knows why.

I think native ports may have become easier nowadays too, because of the steam runtime. Steam can run linux games in their flatpak-like runtime, so ideally you only have to support that.

If you are planning on open sourcing your game (maybe some time after the commercial release) then a linux port would be very appeciated for packaging reasons. Other than that, your preference.

Still no NTSYNC…

oh wow, no one is left from that disagreement, they both resigned.

nooooo, whyyyy, i wanted to play it on the steam deck :(

Alright, fair. I was more refering to the content of the message, not the (botched) metaphore of maintainers as a force of order.

I read the “thin blue line” email and it seems… reasonable and sensible? And seeing how he is so appaled by it makes me question his judgement a bit.

Nightshade doesnt actually work btw. Denoising, a common technique, also breaks nightshade completely. Its also closed source, with no way to test if it actually works for the big AIs. The person making nightshade is really fishy too.

I think thats only if you let them host it, selfhosted is unlimited

Gnu Guix recently had a user survey, and they used limesurvey

Its finally happening??
