It doesn't work. I've tried it on Arch and I have to force gnome to use X via a GDM environment variable IIRC.

Well they defintely don't work on Linux which is the point and I definetely can't play them. I personally left a negative review and removed the game until the patch was removed. Whether the anti-cheat should be there isn't t

You are missing the point. The games do not work. As you said some install Kernel Level drivers (I believe this is a Ring-0 but I am not an expert in such things) as a Anti-cheat mechanism. These do not work with Wine/Proton. e.g. Doom

This is nice and all but they need to fix things like alt-tabbing in an out of a game. Many games just crash. I know it sounds dumb but sometimes when organising a game or using discord you need to alt-tab from the game to the chat app. Thi

There is a difference between clutter and having some decoration. Proponents of minimalism seem to conflate the two. Also whenever someone complains about something being materialistic that automatically sets off my BS detector.

Of course. However stating this as an absolute is what I am taking umbridge with.

When I lived in Spain I could get a Tuna steak as long as my forearm from the local pescadería for €2. In the UK that would have cost me €15-20. However I live on the "Tuna Coast" at the time and was obviosly abundant. It depends

I wouldn't bet on it. This is entirely anedotal. But the vast majority of my co-workers I've spoken to don't seem to care about too much about things like privacy, free speech, open specs, source code availability and think I

Gibraltar has plenty of tech companies for financial and gambling. Singapore is the same but I am not sure about how the tax works there. In any event I am not saying companies will move there necessarily (it was just an example I took off

I have a few old retro computers and a usb floppy drive doesn’t cut it for Amiga and Atari floppy drives (some say it works online but I’ve tried several usb floppy drives and IME it does not). I know there are alternatives to using a flopp

I still use a Core 2 Quad in a desktop I built in 2008 in my office (mainly because it has a proper floppy drive on it). Those processors were such a leap over the Athlon XP 3200+ I had before and it runs a Linux desktop perfectly fine.

These look pretty decent for the price. I still wish there was proper storage but otherwise this looks really nice. I don't have a use for one though. I only really use my pi4 as a Kodi box and my Pi2 is just a FTP server for my friend

I wouldn't personally call it racist or sexist (as I've seen the term used for both men and women and of different races). However the logic works like this: Tyrone is a internet stereotype of a thuggish blackman. The stereotype o

So instead of returning a object, we stuff two values into an array and this grants us the advantage of saving a few extra characters. This is pretty hacky and it smells. it also won't work in languages like typescript (without losing

I agree sometimes it can be an hunt if someone used some crazy implementation of the strategy pattern. However if you are following SOLID you shouldn't depend on a concrete class. I'm dealing with a project at the moment where the
