ObsidianZed

I tested briefly and it did work, although it’s far from great. I haven’t tried any proper games yet though, but the first/smallest game I installed to test was VRChat and it didn’t detect my controllers. I haven’t tried troubleshooting at all yet, though it’s nice to see progress.

This looks like it could be an open source alternative to obsidian.md. Would anyone be able to speak to that?

Mindustry.

Every time this question comes up.

And I’ll never get tired of saying it.

To scratch that itch.

Damn. I just redownloaded it because someone said it was fixed too…

I need a good FPS with at least semi-modern graphics.

I hadn’t heard of this but I might try it if it gets patched. I’ve been looking for a fun FPS.

Yeah, while it would be nice, I don’t care about a native Linux version. Proton is so supported that I’m fine with using it.

Since they’ve explicitly stated that they want to continue to support Linux (at least for now), that at least shows a viable future for me.

Like in my response to the other commenter, that’s why I was playing FragPunk, because I thought support for Linux would be there. But they’ve pushed that to the way side.

Alright I’ll redownload it lol

I was playing FragPunk because it worked on Linux and I really like the game but they seem to be going the way that I thought The Finals was.

Last I checked, I was not able to get it to play. They broke it with an update and I assumed that was by design and I haven’t looked back.

How is this the first time I’m hearing about a lineage TV OS?!

I just learned of it today and was checking out their dev blog and it went back to 2011??? That’s crazy.

Exactly. This isn’t explicitly piracy. Just because it can be used as such, doesn’t mean it perpetrates piracy. Some prefer to have a backup for their game installers. That’s all this is.

Have you ever purchased a game from GoG? If so, chances are it comes DRM-free in which case you could legally keep a copy in your “Game Vault.”

This allows you to have your own local copy to download and install. No GoG launcher required.

TLDR: Yes

Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.

Perhaps a model like itch.io offers. Each product can set a price or have a “pay what you want” model. I feel some would be more likely to give money if it’s right up front.

But the biggest part that I think we need, is a centralized location, store or not. Sometimes it’s hard to find if an open source alternative even exists because it could be on Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc.

Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.

You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.

I have an RTX 3080 Ti working beautifully on EndeavourOS (Arch based).

I mean, why not self host an instance of git like forgejo?

Make it February 22 and call it F022 Appreciation.
