Regarding the distro, definitely not the case. Steam Deck runs on Arch for example. Years ago I played on Fedora just fine.
If you don’t mind elaborating, what are the issues you’re seeing? I absolutely get your frustration, but I think many of us would be happy to help you and hopefully it’s a quick solution!
Do you have Proton installed, and did you tell Steam to run games using it? Go to Steam -> Settings -> Compatibility. Make sure Enable Steam Play is checked for both Supported and “Other” titles, and the drop down has a Proton version in it. I personally use Proton Experimental for everything.
I can’t help but notice that Civ VI, F1 2015 and Broforce which all work for you are all native Linux titles, and all of the ones that don’t work don’t have Linux versions and would therefore need to be run through Proton. ProtonDB lists all of them as Gold tier titles, so they should generally work okay with only minor issues. Steam doesn’t do great messaging and prompt players to do this from what I remember.
It’s even worse apparently. Apparently someone looked at where the coins are going, and the coins are going to the 1337x admins, and the uploader is just getting a cut of those coins. Which explains why the admins are unlikely to really care because they’re profiting off their users.
I have severe trust issues with any kind of pirated software so I basically never download it as a result, and shit like this is why. Even private trackers and “trusted” groups aren’t enough for me to download most software.
We’re in such a shitty timeline right now where these CEO’s realize that they have so many mainstream users who just don’t actually care about the platform and just want the content, that even with significant controversy if they just ignore it, they can almost certainly weather the storm. Sure, their platform will be worse off, they’ll lose users to other platforms, but it’s a far cry from the Digg v3 -> Reddit situation when there was a much smaller user base who was more passionate about the site and community and they abandoned the old site as a result of those shitty decisions.
Love reading about the progress! I’m not advanced enough to test myself, but hopefully more people can start jumping in to make this a great release.
Ordered! I love reading his books.
Admittedly, I just use Sonos myself. However, I do hope to one day move to something else more open.
BluOS is another solution to look at. It’s still pricey, but works offline and higher quality than Sonos if you’re someone who has lots of high res music files.
If you want something that’s more open, but way more DIY, I found this blog post that talks about a solution using Mopidy server: https://blog.platypush.tech/article/Build-your-open-source-multi-room-and-multi-provider-sound-server-with-Platypush-Mopidy-and-Snapcast
Can’t vouch for it, but looks interesting and according to the GitHub is still being updated so worth a look if you don’t mind putting in some work and tinkering.
https://lemmy.fmhy.net is up and running!
A vote was held on Mastodon and the majority elected to start fresh versus waiting longer to work out how to do the migration. A bit of a bummer, but still happy to be back.
The title is nonsense as its just the URL.
