I’ve seen how well that works😬. But I guess different people have different definitions of playable. Someone else said touchscreen is just as good as mouse🙄.

I bought that netbook, I actually have it sitting on the floor over here in a pile of e waste that won’t turn on anymore.

But I bought it with the intent to install Crunchbang which I ran on it until it died.

I thought it’s like where it gives you a few lines of reasoning like “text is too small”, “doesn’t show universal prompts” or whatever.

Valve says a Deck Verified game will only ever have a SteamOS compatibility rating that is the same or better

What about point and click games? It can’t be the same or better without trackpads?

Run from terminal and see what went wrong.

If you’re using a launcher with built in logger, refer to that (I’ve seen one on lutris, not Bottles, unsure about heroic).

This will cost like $30 and you might not need to buy blades for years and years.

Is the point here to promote Gardiner’s channel/video. If you don’t want to talk about pewdiepie (the gist of all these other comments) you could talk about Gardiner and his videos instead.

Many of those games I had been playing on a 2400g with no dedicated gpu, which is far weaker than the Steam Deck.

When you say you’ve noticed it’s underpowered, did you mean for the games on this list?

Cachyos convinced me to be arch based for the first time since 2010.

Yes, it should have been in the collection instead of the snes remake.

It’s too late for you… But anyone else wanting to play it, just start with the pc engine version. It’s easy to find a CHD with the translation patch already applied. PC Engine will easily emulate on any device.

I haven’t used the Chicago theme, but if you’re in KDE, the Reactionary Plus theme is spot on and works great.

That’s the other issue. It’s impractical to always use Arch.

My main use case for pirated games is steam deck or a Bazzite based machine. Trying to get dwarfs on these systems is a pain I’m not willing to struggle through. Not when I can load up a fitgirl repack in a Bottle and have it installed 5 minutes later.

Even on my workstation, which is arch, I can get another repack going easily without needing to install dwarfs from the aur.

JC’s repacks might be good, but they’re a hassle that requires a new workflow to setup.

I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

The people in the fuckcars community probably. They talk like this all the time.

I’ll never understand this sentiment that we’re all supposed to move into the same neighbourhood that we work, or walk over 70km to get to our workplace?

Appimage. I oily use a few of them, and manage them with GearLever.

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

I think you’ll find nearly every significant FOSS project will have American contributors software in its development. Typically, anyone who can code and wants to contribute can do so.

What are you talking about being downvoted for that. Ubuntu is not well-liked and switching it out is a common suggestion.

Any project is beneficial if someone is passionate about doing it.

The “this person shouldn’t work on this project, they should work on something that benefits me” line is selfish as hell.

If the projects you see aren’t the projects you want, then DIY. But don’t tell people they wasted their time because you don’t want to use their software.

I just opened Bottles and clicked to run the executable. Not quite, I manually set the launch options to disable video and set 1024x768.

But aside from that, clicked run executable and I’m in and playing:

EDIT: without disabling the videos, they play but you can’t skip them and then the game crashes afterwards. But from what I heard that also occurs on windows? It was a windows user saying it needs to launch with no video.

For posterity, the launch options for LEGO racers under wine: -novideo -horzres 1024 -vertres 768
