I just finished Crysis and Crysis: Warhead. Crysis took the c1launcher mod to start, Warhead just needed the env vars.

Hope I’ll have the energy to dive back into Death Stranding soon. If not, I’ll have another shot at MGS1. Last time I got to the sniper duel (on my phone with RetroArch and an old Xbox controller) and then when I got my Deck, the save refused to load. Been long enough that I wouldn’t mind starting over.

I never played the original MGS series, first I got into it was MGS: Peace Walker on PSP, absolutely loved it, got hundreds of hours in it, then did a bit of MGS V but never finished that either.

Oooh XWVM is awesome! I’ve seen it and am thoroughly impressed but haven’t dared to try it on Linux yet, let alone on the Deck.

Could you write a blog or a post here of how to get it to work on plain SteamOS?

Thanks, edited!

TL;DR: If you haven’t installed google-chrome-stable recently from AUR, you’re not affected.

Dark Trans 3 tips, walk-through and cheat codes

It’s incredibly small. Highly developed urban areas, great cycling infrastructure, better trains than Germany, mild climate year-round, some parks and the rest of the country houses the highest concentrations of cows, pigs and chickens.

Housing prices are even worse than the rest of Europe, income tax is high, cost of living is high, but still worth it for many people due to good work-life balance, child-focused education, good infrastructure, mild climate and basically almost Scandinavian culture, but with more sunlight.

We can be quite closed off and hard to get in touch with, and even rude. I usually tell Anglo-Saxons that we may seem autistic compared to their social norms.

SmartMux looks cool! Any clue already what that means for ASUS dual-AMD users who currently use supergfxctl?

Will supergfxctl not be necessary anymore? Or is the MUX switch a separate thing from powering down the dGPU to save energy?

So A says that B sort of says that it is C’s fault.

I’m sorry but this seems like it’s closer to gossip than relevant news

Thanks for the review, very informative!

You are absolutely correct. I’m not sure if it’s different now but back when I bought my Fairphone 3 they were very clear about this. Website filled with stuff like “The most sustainable phone is the one you already have” and emphasizing that not buying a phone is much better than buying a Fairphone. They merely claim to do better than other phone manufacturers.

Also, IIRC, their goal is not so much to beat the sector, but to move the whole sector in the right direction. When they first got fairtrade gold into a Fairphone, they set up a company to sell fairtrade gold for electronics, so other manufacturers could decide to follow their example.

Maintenance and security support has ended for Ubuntu 20.04. Are you or is your employer paying for Extended Support?

If not, your setup is about to enable a whole lot of other people to do their job too 😉

No need to get on the latest, hopping over to a just over 3 years old version of Ubuntu is enough to get security patches again.

Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server

If Mint works for you, just stick with it. No need to try a different distribution to compare. You’ll know when you need it.

I would only go to Fedora if you need it. For example newer drivers (kernel, mesa). Don’t go change the kernel and/or mesa on a distribution, probably better to switch at that point. Or if you need KDE or GNOME for some reason. Wayland is disabled in Mint by default, but can be enabled. It’s been over a year IIRC since they added experimental Wayland support so it may be fine by now.

Differences between Linux distributions are exaggerated.

Mint is a great choice, it is very stable, and it really holds your hand via the Software Center.

However, stable also means old: it does not support the latest hardware.

If you have hardware that released after (rough estimate) April 2024, consider something based on Fedora, such as Bazzite, instead. It comes with modern drivers and should support modern hardware much better.

Yes, it’s called CBAM and it’s the most beautiful tax I’ve ever seen:

Genuinely great blog post!

This is perfect for !linuxmemes@lemmy.world though: “nah I don’t want to switch to Linux, it’s hard. I’ll just compile QEMU with some patches to run VMs on Windows”

A permanent exception may actually be OK: China is much further along in the energy transition and the CCP are not doing that out of the kindness of their genocidal hearts: economic forces make electrification inevitable, as we can already see with EVs.

Also, the European market is big enough to have global impact, even if our rules aren’t matched by other world powers eventually.
