You can bet your pants it does!

I learned today, that in JavaScript

But it actually is mostly the developers fault. There are weird corner cases, yes. But all game engines natively support Linux and even games that are not made for Linux will run there via Proton nearly always.

Exceptions are 95+% of the time due to anti cheat and like 2% due to a self written engine, that does exceptionally cursed stuff even for windows.

I play lots of games regularly that were never meant to be played on Linux but work flawlessly without the developer or “contributors on ProtonDB” (whatever they have to do with that) doing anything.

Okay, your post is a bit weird, so I’ll just tell you about my setup:

I have a custom built PC for like 4 or 5 years and have Linux on there permanently for at least 2.

It has an AMD Ryzen 7 (AM4) CPU and a Nvidia 2060 Super.

I often tried new distros before the final switch. In the end I chose PopOS. For me it mostly just works.

All the core features are effectively bugless.

Games sometimes don’t work or need a little tweak in steam, but that is like one game out of 20.

BUT:
I don’t play AAA games. Like ever. I played Darktide for a month maybe and “Witcher 3” butthis is the closest I got to “real” AAA games in the last 5 years.
Indie Games nearly always “just work”.

Few examples from the last months:

• Deep Rock Galactic
• Satisfactory
• Witch It
• Factorio Space Age
• Cogmind
• Dwarf Fortress
• Ultimate Chicken Horse
• Disco Elysium
• The Last Journey
• Core Keeper
• Celeste
• Stardew Valley

They all ran fine. The one Issue I had was that steam didn’t show this DirectX-Popup and I thought the games didn’t start. But after that it all just worked.
Also sometimes mods are hard. This is mostly for games I didn’t buy on steam and that have weird community-built mod managers.

Shithead?

That WordPress article is a one-sided mess and they should really pull back from what they did. That has nothing to do with open source. They fucked over many of their users just to spite a single firm (which were in their right).

Now I don’t want to defend a for profit company that doesn’t contribute much to open source, but the public meltdown that the CEO of Automattic had was more than embarrassing.

The criticism in this case is completely bonkers. They reuse assets from previous games, even adding more while developing.

This only means that they have an ever increasing repertoire of assets from all their games, from which the designers can freely choose. And then of course they match the asset to the new game (adding a grunge pass for a zombie game is the example given)
This is the optimal way of doing it. They save time and money and have lots of different assets to choose from.

Stuck in the sounds - Let’s Go also has a crazy video about an astronaut.

Tbh, I played it for a few hours, didn’t like it and don’t understand all the fuss about it. Does it get good later?

I was at a point, where I was going through a cave with a castle in the background (it was a few years ago), it was probably some kind of riddle, but I couldn’t be bothered.
Is it worth going forward or did I see enough to just say “it’s not my kind of game”?

…out of the house I hope.

Well why would a job be employed?
They are a concept and can’t work, dumbass!

But wait!
This keyboard has 45 keys and not 100 like most normal keyboards, so they cut 55%!

Okay, it is possible to get them for free (except the ÖR which I forgot, because the fee is mandatory for each household) which is what I meant but yes, there are lots of ads, but american TV also has I would say as many ads.

Source: also German

I use vanced, but NewPipe is also great.

Yes, but this is german and in Germany most TV is free with ads or paid without ads.

Imagine paying money to see 2 fucking ads before a video.

We get Qualityland’s “The Shop” if we like it or not.

We host a small Matrix-server. The server is for 4 people but barely uses the 2 cores 4GB RAM.

Storage is mostly media, but stayed under 100GB in about 3 years.

We also host a web frontend and use Schildichat as app, but Element X could be better nowadays. Both also have a desktop client.

A big plus are all the bridges. My girlfriend uses WhatsApp, no problemo, there is a bridge for that. That one club only has a signal group? Use the bridge.
One of us uses Fb-Messenger via a bridge. Telegram also works and there are lots more.

The server is also low maintenance. It’s an ansible playbook, that I irregularly run.
It takes around an hour twice a year due to changes in the playbook.

Also matrix is feature rich beyond your requests. I don’t know much about the others, but matrix had emoji-reactions before WhatsApp and has threads inside of chatrooms and spaces which are collections of chats for common topics.
Also polls, sharing current/live location (not bridged to WA), voice messages and stickers.

Look at the numbers please:
In 2020 Biden had 81,284,666 votes.
In 2024 Kamala had 69,218,912 votes.

That is a difference of around 12 Million votes or nearly 15%. Trump at the same time gained only like 750k votes. I mean yes, he somehow GAINED votes, but still…

What is your supposed reason for those numbers?
