Proton 11.0 is now available in Beta!

<sigh>

Screenshot of a poll on what appears to be Tumblr, 10,522 votes cast. It asks "Do you think Microsoft understands consent"? The first option is "Yes", it has 0.8% of votes, the other option, "Remind me in 3 days" has 99.2% of votes.

A tool that needs people to constantly sing its praises. To berate other people for "not getting it". To burn the planet while it talks kids into suicide? That needs to be shoehorned into every aspect of business to realise its dubious ROI?

Pass.

Absolutely baffling that they remained on that shit hole platform as long as they did.

Haha, well... that wasn't my experience! AMD's Radeon driver in particular was prone to various crashes - installing, updating, breathing too hard...

It's likely better now, but I wouldn't know. Been on Linux since 2013 and haven't installed a driver since.

Ironically, I'm back on AMD! 😅

Well, they don't fuck up their install because they never do an install. It's been a while since I installed Windows, but holy shit it was awful. Drivers. Drivers everywhere!

Maybe it's better now.

But claiming all of Linux is broken when millions of us swear by it isn't really fair.

Yeah, but ask us again in 6 months and you might get a different answer. Distro hopping is addictive.

Capcom Cannot Stop Deliberately Breaking Its Games With DRM The original Resident Evil trilogy arrives on Steam with the ruinous Enigma DRM

Kotaku have a succinct summarisation of just how anti-consumer DRM is, right here. Especially for us Linux-only gamers.

It's absolutely superb. While the original was surpassed many times in the following years, this reconfirms Megacrit as the masters.

And multiplayer! It's soooo good.

Some days, 15 isn't enough. Then what?

Aye, and it would be a different story if he was winning or on the podium. But apparently shit form from the "biggest name in F1" has nothing to do with this tantrum. I thought this guy was meant to work miracles with mediocre/bad cars? What happened to all that chat, haha.

Meta really are utter scum. Knew exactly what they were doing, as did all genAI companies.

One for them, another for the rest of us, huh?

Some great ideas in that article, thanks! I've used broth before, but never dairy. I'll try that next time I'm making enchiladas or burritos. The sour cream mix sounds superb!

Reaper and Bitwig run on Linux, but Ableton is a no for now. And of course, that seems to be the most popular one! 😅

I'm on Cachy, Wayland and KDE here, no issues. I'm on AMD for both CPU and GPU if that's relevant.

Have you tried keeping a terminal open with journald -f running? Check during a freeze to see if anything pops out?

Freezes like this can be so frustrating. I feel your pain!

"Immediately" disable. Not "eventually".

But otherwise, spot on. The way the language is used to encourage guilt for using devices for longer... insidious.

Yeah, I have no issues with Firefox. Rock solid, fast, great sync between desktop and mobile tabs.

Well, one issue - Mozilla's constant push to introduce AI. But that's seemingly all tech these days.

Brave is just reskinned Chrome, with crypto. Not a fan. Might check out Zen eventually.

Was pretty excited for this, but it's Denuvo encumbered. Oh well.

Thief, but with slightly less Garrett. Can't wait to see more of this.

Yep. It's not easy though.

Anyway, Bitwig and Reaper are both commercial available DAWs for Linux. Reaper is meant to be pretty good.

But I've yet to see a DAW person convert from the one they like.

Also, Clip Studio Paint for artists. Same problem. Krita/GIMP don't cut it seemingly.

DAW people seem very fixated on the one they, personally, like. Especially Ableton users, I've found.

Which is fair enough. It's complex software and re-learning a new workflow is uncomfortable and time consuming.

But they still complain about Windows. 😅

Letter from the owner - our stance on generative AI Generative AI seems like it's everywhere now right? So here's a letter from the owner (me, hi!) formally setting out the GamingOnLinux stance on it.

Hah, the gall of Russell to accuse Ferrari of being selfish when his team are sitting pretty on a compression ratio advantage.

Absolutely infuriating.

You're the one acting like this. I'm just pointing it out. But let's block each other and move on, I reckon.

Thank fuck Windows and Mac users are all saints, eh? Just 2-3 billion people all looking out for each other, quietly suffering those obnoxious Linux dudes.

Haha, I've just commented on another thread that was bemoaning how shit the "Linux" community is! 😅

It really depends on the specific community, I think. Some are super-helpful and welcoming. Others... not so much!

I don't know what the "Linux" community is, and I've been using it for a long time.

Specifically though, the Ubuntu community was great. Mint, not terrible, but not brilliant. Arch... no. Debian, pretty fine.

But some of these communities expect a certain level of knowledge, which is frustrating.

Good luck! I dual-boot for several years before 2013. It's the safest way to find your feet!
