Lutris can be pretty handy for many things…

I don’t have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

• I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn’t work.

You’ll be able to get better answers. I’m pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is ‘find something open source that is not as good but works.’

I… actually can’t tell if you’re taking the piss or if that’s a real episode.

I have so many questions about the whales.

Tarballs are not built from source?

I have heard multiple times from different sources that building from git source instead of using tarballs invalidates this exploit, but I do not understand how. Is anyone able to explain that?

If malicious code is in the source, and therefore in the tarball, what’s the difference?

centering the mouse on the game

Maybe I’m missing something, but… why is this a problem? You can just like, move the mouse to where you want it?

I can’t replicate this issue on mine. I recently somehow broke Gnome (again) during an update, so I finally went back to a tiling WM (awesome this time). I start the game in a separate desktop, and then when I need to do things outside of the game, I just change to another desktop using the keyboard shortcuts. Pretty sure this is possible in all WM/DEs on Linux.

Ah thanks, that’s my problem, it’s me.

Oh boy…

I wonder if I’m going to notice any better performance…

holy shit!!! I’m definitely doing that!

Just reconfigured /etc/makepkg.conf to use extra cores and tmpfs… I’ve been compiling on the SSD with one core for so long it’s embarrassing.

As a side note, dealing with adding repos and keys and all that is something I will never miss from apt. I use Arch and installing things is usually as simple as… well let me check.

And it’s option 1. So easy. Type 1 and press enter and you’re done.

Can’t I just download a file and install it?

Yes, there are instructions on the page for that, the section is titled ‘Installing the app without the Mullvad repository’

The answer is always ffmpeg

I just discovered that I know emacs commands because I use them in the bash terminal all the time.

Hey look, it’s us:

For a lot of what I do, its the only way to do it.

For everything else, there’s MasterCard.

Pretty sure I did with mplayer and/or feh but it was years ago

Can you remove the GPU and use onboard?

It is mentioning gpu in the errors, so it would be the first thing I would try, to see if the errors change, because I have no idea what’s going on here

Depends on the video, but if it’s for learning, like a tutorial on how to use a piece of software, I’ll usually have to speed it up or I can’t focus on it.

My DE is Gnome which uses a bit. Haven’t really looked into it further, because I still have 62GB of ram free after startx. Haven’t maxed it out yet.
