I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.
Nice, that always bugged me.
I had issues with debian-based distros as well, that's why I switched to fedora. I also think the go 3 has better support in general. The cameras are still annoying but things have gotten better, with Firefox getting libcamera support.
I agree but also I saw the words "vote" and "nix" and nearly had an aneurism.
I personally got a surface go 3. Put fedora on it and the surface kernel and it works pretty good - GNOME's interface honestly works better for touchscreens then windows. Just be aware that some config might be needed - I had an issue with the keyboard that required making a udev rule (I documented it on the surface kernel github issues page).
Its pretty much up to the developer. You can have no DRM and not even require steam to be open, or you can make your game unplayable.
I think I got this one from someone else, but "the girl who waited" to "Rory's Choice." Both are good titles but I think the second option makes a really nice connection to the episode "Amy's Choice," both being about their relationship and the passage of time.
It should - I don't have one myself but I had someone test it and there weren't any issues. It has full steam input support too.
Pro tip: if you have nextcloud you can set aegis to backup to a folder synced to the cloud, giving you automatic cloud backups. It can keep multiple copies too to prevent a situation like that happening.
But yeah, sorry that happened, hope you find another way to access those accounts.
As promised, I've open-sourced my exploration game (2 days ahead of release).
So I while back I made a post about making a game on Linux using mostly open-source tools. Someone suggesting open sourcing it, so here we are!
It doesn't have some content (mostly images, audio, and fonts) due to licenses and file sizes, but it has scripts, models, and more. And licensed under MIT. Hopefully someone makes use of it, or at the very least finds it interesting.
This isn't even an issue though, its just to fix bugs with certain websites that block Firefox for no reason or have other weird compatibility issues. Which I would think is a good thing?
There are so many legitimate things to complain about with Mozilla, why do people go out of their way to complain about the most innocuous shit.
There's experimental support, they're hoping it'll be feature complete by 2026.
They Beyond (Year Unknown) (OC)
let me know if this isn't allowed, but I'm making a game, and also the music in it, and figured I'd share here. lmk if it's good.
Switch pro controller no longer works in linux mint 22
I've used my switch pro a lot for games on my pc, but after updating to 22 it no longer works, and I have no clue why. It connects and shows the player count lights, but no blue light and no controller detected by any software. lsusb shows the device and udemadm monitor shows a bunch of changes.
Sometimes I can get it to connect by connecting with bluetooth, then quickly plugging it in, which makes me think that it's an issue with udev rules? It won't connect with bluetooth alone though.
Is anyone else experiencing this or have an idea on how to solve it?
EDIT: FIXED! The issue was that I had joycond installed at one point, and the upgrade removed it (since its not needed since the kernel has support now). I just went in /lib/udev/rules.d and deleted any files with joycond in the name (there were 2).
Developing a game on Linux with no budget and (mostly) FOSS tools.
A story-based exploration game about the very far future. With the help of two Artificial Intelligences, explore a universe conquered by humanity, uncover your purpose in it, and try to stop it from falling apart.
(tldr, open source software has come a long way, and it's more than possible to create a full game without leaving Linux.)
So I've been a full Linux user for a couple years now, and a hobbyist game dev for way longer. I've always tried to make the most out of free tools, so I've used a lot of FOSS tools for game development before.
Going with that philosophy, Year Unknown's development has cost $0 (not counting store fees or my time), and the development is done with almost entirely FOSS software like Godot, Blender, GIMP, and Audacity. The only exception is Reaper, which is my DAW of choice (but to be fair, it's a really good DAW).
The game itself is a narrative-driven exploration game set in the very far future, where humanity has found a way to make the universe last forever. The game's story covers a lot of existential issues that come from the premise, revealed through two characters you can talk to through terminals.
I know there's other developers who have done the same, but I thought I'd share my experience, and I can answer questions about the workflow if you're curious, or trying to do something similar. Also, if the game seems interesting to you, a wishlist would be very appreciated!
Bad Apple but it's made of browser checkmarks and is also in Godot.
An interesting project I quickly threw together after finding out that Godot can call javascript's "eval" function. You can really do anything with this engine.

It really seems like satire, but based off the guy's profile and normal posts I don't think it is.
Help! Random 1-2 second freezes
EDIT: The solution was that it was freesync. Turned it off on my monitor, and that fixed it.
I recently picked up a used RX 6600xt, and ever since the screen will occasionally freeze for 1-2 seconds before returning to normal. As far as I can tell, input and sound work as normal during these. There's no real pattern either.
I'm on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, on the 6.5 kernel (there was a sleep related issue for me in the default kernel version). Since getting the GPU, I've replaced the CPU and motherboard.
Any guesses as to what this might be, or where to look? I tried checking mint's logs app and there didn't seem to be anything associated with it.
WebCord now has seamless audio share for Discord.
A Discord and SpaceBar :electron:-based client implemented without Discord API. - SpacingBat3/WebCord
WebCord is an "alternative client" for Discord, although it's just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.
I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.
Lost your only source of income? Well people died in the holocaust so deal with it lol
Fortunately all the comments are dunking on this guy.
Average DS9 Episode
In today's episode, commander Sisko grapples with the effects of the war and how far his morality can be stretched in the name of the greater good. Meanwhile, O'Brien has a winning streak at darts.
Instance recommendations?
Sorry if this is asked a lot but I'm looking for a peertube instance to mirror my youtube videos to.
I upload a mix of videos about games, dev logs, music, and occasional random stuff I made (including ytps). So a general purpose instance with longevity would be ideal. Thanks!
What's the opinion on Trial of a Time Lord?
Just for fun I started watching it to see what it even is, and so far it's pretty fun! Colin Baker's doctor is a lot of fun, it's interesting to see a doctor who (hehe) is a bit more full of themselves.
From what I gather though, people at the time really didn't like it, but that could have just been because of Colin Baker. Now that general opinion of Colin Baker is much better and we can revisit those episodes without as much bias, I'm interested in what the general verdict on this season is. Do people still hate it? Is it a cult classic? Do people just think it's meh?
