One thing to note about Junk store is the fact that out of the box it only supports epic games store. GOG is an additional add-on that you need to purchase.

Personal, I just use heroic and have that added to steam so I can launch it in gaming mode. A lot more convenient

I most certainly welcome any developer embracing linux support. And to be quite honest, the game looks fairly polished and interesting, it gives me vibes of an indie extraction shooter with its own unique gameplay elements.

unfortunately, I am not particularly interested in PVP online anymore, so I’ll probably skip.

But I wish the developer all the sucess they can get, and I hope they will find a loyal audience.

It’s a U-shaped pillow, that you put around your waist. You can also find them advertised as “gaming pillows”, for 5 times the price.

Or you can get essentially the same for cheap from IKEA:

I just use an IKEA Len breastfeeding pillow…

I also experienced that getting older games to run is often easier on Linux using wine and proton than it was on windows 7+.

From a technical standpoint, the windows NTFS filesystem is designed inherently case sensitive, just windows doesn’t allow creating case sensitive files.

Connecting an NTFS drive to linux, you can create two separate files readme.txt and Readme.txt.

Using windows, you can see both files in the filesystem, but chances are most (if not all) software will struggle accessing both files, opening readme.txt might instead open Readme.txt or vice versa.

I can See this possibly being useful for having a walkthrough playing during the game

Thanks, this looks like the tool I was looking for. Being able to store the snippets alongside a description sounds perfect

Yes! More devices running steam OS is a good thing.

I remember when the Google launcher just worked fine. Suddenly, one update later, there’s now ads for shows on services I don’t even use taking up the entire top 2/3rds of the home screen. WTF google.

I wouldnt know

I can not tell you, how much I thought the same. It sounds like an answer filled with as many buzzwords you can think of, made up by some random as a joke, moking such answers. Then I saw the username highlighted in blue, indicating it was OP.

I am still not sure of it’s just a mocking answer, tbh.

Even if you are a EU citizen, apple will remove your ability to sideload if you leave the EU for an extended period (I dont recall if it is 30 or 90 days)

Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.

Make that “Gaming on Linux”. I’ve barely come accross a game that wouldnt work at all, ocassionally (usually with older titles) setting up a decent controll scheme can be some work. To be fair, though, I mostly play single player games or casual multiplayer games - I don’t play any esports titles or competitive multiplayer games, so unsupported anti-cheat hasn’t been an issue for me.

All the effort Valve has put into proton for the steam deck has paid off for regular Linux gaming as well. So much so, that Linux has been my main OS for about a month.

Tbh, I haven’t been paying attention to the compatibility marker, at all. The day the game released, I played it on steam deck, unlocked all achievements a few weeks ago - entirely on the steam deck.

Thanks. I didn’t realize that was the case, I installed the plugin at some point but eventually uninstalled it, because I always fell back to Heroic Games Launcher, because GOG has my third largest library of games (after steam and the free epic giveaways).

Having to join their patreon to get early access to a beta plugin (essentially paying money to become a tester) does sound like embracing the current state of game development and not something I am willing to encourage/participate in.

I’ll stick with HGL for the time being, I can just add that to steams gamescope.

What aspect of it is paid?

If you have access to a 3d printer (owning one, having a friend that owns one, or a makerspace near you), this is a really handy print:

When I got my steam deck in 2022, I prepared an SD specifically for booting windows, because I figured I might need to boot it at some point for playing a game. 1 year later, I have not once had to boot windows to play a game. Incidentally, it often was easier to get older games working on proton in Linux than it was on a modern windows system.

I am not personally playing many multiplayer games, though, but I can see how being locked out of playing a current multiplayer game with your friends would be an issue. We can only hope that kernel level anti cheat is going the way of the dodo. But from what i understand, that would in a lot of cases mean for Tim Sweeney to get off his high horse, because of EOS, no?
