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

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

Great writeup! Thanks for doing this!

Now that you mention it: I never realised that protondb only covers games on steam! maybe they should add a way to add nonsteam games.

quite a few of these links are just:

I installed windows game on the steam deck! Heres How I Managed This Herculean Task Using Arcane Magics: just runs the game with wine/proton

Yes, this new iteration of Junk Store will be paid software and will be closed source.

And then I stopped reading.

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

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.

yaaaaaaaaay, and it only took them 5 years of discussions!

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

Ok, this is up there with “lets attack Greenland”

Its freely availible with a permissive license, but I dont think that that claim has been verified yet.

One of those rare lucid moments by the stock market? Is this the market correction that everyone knew was coming, or is some famous techbro going to technobabble some more about AI overlords and they return to their fantasy values?

Its finally happening??

Sounds very interesting. Im not sure how open it will actually be, if they just mean its using RISC-V’s open design and its just lost in translation or if they are actually trying to make an open hardware ecosystem.

edit: I read a bit more, it seems to be a apache-like licensed software only processor that one needs to implement first, so basically something inbetween pre RISC-V and an actual chip. Still cool, but I was hoping it was a finished chip.

They recently added support for this in the kernel for AMD cpu cores, so this might have changed.

Still dont trust them after that failed crypto handheld project.

edit: Wow according to their website they are still developing it! Yeah have fun trying to commodify gaming, just leave the rest of us alone.
