It will run surprisingly well.

Like Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4.

It was, in fact, a thing as recently as 2010. I know because I remember having to delete PulseAudio’s config after every second boot on Ubuntu 10.04 otherwise I wouldn’t have any audio. You were spared from the worst, be thankful for that.

This update is weird, did they put AI in my kernel?

(we got a new GEMINI episode before GTA 6)

you’re conflating me with the author of Cliparr

My mistake, I’ve edited the comment to reflect this. Although I don’t understand, then, why you even brought Cliparr up. You’re not involved, and only taking offence on someone else’s behalf.

That also means that the lovely message of “Ipso facto, for all the AI “Akshually” pedants, I’ve tagged this as AIP. Politely go fuck yourselves :)” was precipitated by a single negative interaction and a handful of downvotes. Regardless of linguistic and cultural differences, that’s just being a dick, and it should be pointed out. Perhaps you should reexamine how you handle criticism.

I don’t see how you were “dunked on”. There was one (1) person who went farther than voicing legitimate concerns… and then you were a twat and a half about it in the edited post. “Politely go fuck yourself” with a smile is worth a downvote.

Developers have been getting criticism for using particular tools for decades. For using Electron, for using systemd, for developing in Rust, for not developing in Rust, for using GTK or Qt… but when LLMs get involved, it’s suddenly verboten and you get to take some reductive moral high ground because “it’s just a tool”?

(edit) Just to answer the actual question:

• If you don’t need to use AI, don’t. Messy, undocumented, human-authored code deserves more respect than clean code with dubious authorship.
• Show how the sausage is made. Don’t just push your project as a single squashed commit; it makes you look like you have something to hide. (edit 2) If a commit contains AI-generated anything, mark it as such.
• Again, don’t be a twat when you inevitably get pushback. As a developer of supposedly 25 years, you should be familiar with that of no particular renown, you should learn how to handle it gracefully before a reputation develops around you.

Didn’t KDE just start accepting vibecode?

Try running the applications inside Gamescope. It uses a separate toplevel window that shouldn’t be affected by whatever Proton is doing.

You could also try either enabling or disabling Wayland in Proton: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Wayland

It could also be a quirk of whatever Proton version you’re using. Try GE-Proton, Proton-EM, or an older version.

That’s nice, right until you have to troubleshoot why the other person is having difficulty following the instructions. My not-entirely-but-still-mostly-strawman scenario (specifically with the RPi Imager) where that approach fails:

Run the application. If it asks for a password and then nothing happens, then you’ll need to use pkexec to launch it with root privileges, run pkexec env $(env) DISPLAY=:1 /path/to/application. The main window will look like a wizard utility with the steps on the left and input fields on the right. Follow the instructions until step 4. Then complete step 4, but DO NOT click “next”. A gear icon should appear.

No, not the gear icon on the top, the large gear icon on the bottom right. It didn’t appear? Okay, go back to step 2 and make sure the “full” option is selected. Now go to step 4 and reenter everything. Still nothing? Send me a screenshot. Okay, the “hostname” field must not contain a hyphen, replace it with an underscore. Wait, which version of the app are you running? Go to the small gear menu, click on “About”, and send me the version number… okay, nevermind, that version doesn’t support this specific feature, you’ll have to update.

I had to have this conversation with myself. Conducting it over an internet forum with a stranger of questionable technical skills is my definition of hell.

This will have dire consequences for the trout population.

They’re indulging in their secret vim addiction they picked up after someone convinced them to try evil-mode.

Can’t wait for the game engine to delete my filesystem and then be really very sorry about it.

If you’re going to act like a petulant child, I’m gonna put you in timeout. Go sit in the corner.

I don’t see how Steam would make any difference.

• Implementing any kind of DRM is the game developer’s prerogative.
• Allowing other versions is possible, again, at the developer’s convenience.
• No other launcher needed besides Steam (and Steam is very far from being only a launcher)
• Steam Workshop (because fuck Forge)

The only downside I can see is that Steam doesn’t have a way to maintain multiple instances of the same game.

Ah yes, the famous DRM.

Some launchers allow you to play fully offline, but only after you’ve authenticated and started the game at least once with a real Microsoft account. The launcher has a sophisticated validation mechanism to ensure this: a single boolean value stored in a JSON file. Set that to true and you’re good to go.

• Outer Wilds
• SOMA
• Red Dead 2
• Factorio
• Half-Life 2

Honorable mentions:

• Warframe should be the example by which live service games are designed and operated.
• Crimson Desert… is such a paradox of game design. In almost all aspects, 70% of the game is fantastic, but the remaining 30% is a shocking display of incompetence and/or indifference. The exception is player training, which is consistently horrible.

Those two are mutually exclusive. An application that uses Proton can’t be natively Linux-compatible, and an application that is natively Linux-compatible can’t run using Proton.

natively on a Windows PC or on Linux via Proton

Sounds like it’s a Windows build, but the developers also provide first party support for running it on Proton.

Linux (Proton) Native Compatibility

I had to sit down and drink a glass of anhydrous water after reading that…

My previous job at a factory with rotating day/night shifts gave me an apparently lifelong case of sleep disorders. My “eight hours of uninterrupted sleep” is more or less indistinguishable from my “one coffee after pulling an all-nighter in Factorio”.
