  • After almost a decade, cult classic car building sim [My Summer Car] hits 1.0, and it's soaring on Steam

    Jump

  • The worst thing is (was?) that you couldn't even build the car without looking at a tutorial online. So many steps that are impossible to figure out on your own.

    I like the game and spent a lot of time with it, but when I last played it half a year ago it still felt pretty unfinished.

    Edit: looking at the changelog, it's the first update in two years and they didnt really add anything new, apart from some bug fixes and a "feature" where you can die from a wasp in your house if you leave the doors open all the time. They won't be adding any more features after this. How can they even call this 1.0.

  • We need the game publishers to face more consequences for neglecting a significant segment of the market

  • Let's rephrase: Have you ever needed to enter your root password while installing a game through a launcher such as Steam?

    How would that kernel module be installed if nowhere from installing to actually running the game did it have access to the kernel?

  • Vencord is great but sadly it doesn't support global hotkeys so PTT doesn't work.

  • As per the FAQ:

    We will submit all changes to upstream to eventually benefit Thunderbird.

  • As per the FAQ they seem to share the exact same profile so you can seamlessly switch between them (provided both are the same dot release).

    Edit: in case that doesn't work, run betterbird -p and select the right profile. For me it chose the wrong one.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?

    Jump

  • I think so yes, it doesn't stray too far from the original story but adds a lot on top of it and adds a lot of post game mechanics that I haven't encountered yet. I had never played Crystal before (but I did play Silver and I think Crystal's story is 90% same?) and it seems really polished (haha). It just feels like a much more modern game than what I remember Silver being.

    I'm looking for a similar sort of ROM hack for Emerald since I never played gen 3 and later. I think I'll go for Modern Emerald but I'd love to hear other suggestions.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?

    Jump

  • I have gone down the same rabbit hole lately. I've been playing Polished Crystal and am planning to play Modern Emerald next.

    Polished Crystal adds a ton of features and I love it. They added many Pokémon that you can all catch, it adds a lot of new moves and introduces the modern types and physical/special split which I prefer. It also seems like a lot more difficult than vanilla gen 2 with revised gym leader parties. I'd suggest playing the 9bit version which has almost a decade of new features added to the 2.2.0 version you usually find.

  • Linux 6.13 Staging Clears Out 107k Lines Of Code From Old & Unmaintained Drivers

    Jump

  • Running an older kernel isn't an option? Otherwise compiling your own kernel with the drivers should be possible I assume.

  • Does anyone here use Open ZFS on desktop?

    Jump

  • It is, but with kernel-specific packages you have the kernel linux(-lts) and the kernel module zfs-linux(-lts) and they aren't in sync. Even with the LTS kernel I run into the issue that I can't update the kernel since there's a dependency issue between ZFS and Linux.

    I have both LTS and zen and I'm currently on 6.6.36 and 6.9.7 respectively.

  • Does anyone here use Open ZFS on desktop?

    Jump

  • I am using ZFS on root on Arch using 2x 2TB SSDs striped . I mainly did it because my server runs on ZFS as well and thought snapshotting and backup would be easy, but instead went with Borg backup anyway.

    Installation wasn't very difficult, but the ZFS kernel modules can't keep up with kernel updates (even with LTS kernel) on Arch, so I constantly need to do partial upgrades and it's been annoying. As much as I love ZFS I'm not sure I'd do it again on Arch. If your distro is not using bleeding edge kernels then I don't foresee any issues really.

  • Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux

  • Except push to talk doesn't work in Vesktop/Vencord sadly.

  • KDE Vs Gnome - Heavyweight Championship

    Jump

  • You didn't mention KDE's lack of any adequate stability. That's what makes it incomparable to Gnome.

    But then also:

    However it's important to keep in mind that experience can vary among users.

    Oh the irony.

  • What can I do in other Linux distros that I can't do in Linux Mint Xfce?

    Jump

  • If you feel like you need/want software from AUR you should check out Distrobox. It can run any distro on top of your installation using Docker under the hood, but it tightly integrates into your system so with little effort you can run AUR programs from your launcher as if they were natively installed on your Mint.
