Dave , in Terra Nil is now available on Linux
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

It’s the first I’ve heard of this game. Is it fun?

Nachorella ,

it’s a pretty fun little city builder type game, except you’re terraforming. it’s very pretty but some of the mechanics can get a bit tedious.

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Thanks! I’ll put it on my wishlist and give it a go sometime.

falsem ,

I was kind of disappointed by the demo because it seemed more puzzle-like than simulationy.

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Demo? I can’t find a demo

falsem ,

This was during Steam Nextfest in like 2022, so it's probably gone.

DarkThoughts ,

That's the impression I got from the early videos too, which is why I didn't got any interest in the game.

sleepmode , in Terra Nil is now available on Linux

Could have done without the reclaiming stuff. It feels tacked-on and awkward. But it’s still fun.

Hawke , in Terra Nil is now available on Linux

Pretty sure it’s been available for Linux for a long time. I played it on Linux back when it was a prototype on itch.io

Quazatron , in Fwupd 1.9.6 Brings Linux Firmware Updating For AMD Graphics Cards
@Quazatron@lemmy.world avatar

Nice. This is why I only buy AMD gear. Support those who support you, people!

quantumantics , in Will these headphones work when connecting over a 2.4ghz dongle?

I have the Nova Pro Wireless, not the 7’s, but they have the 2.4GHz dongle as well and I’ve had no trouble getting them to work in Linux. The Steelseries GG software I have not had luck getting to work through wine.

newthrowaway20 , in FEX-Emu: Sonic Mania showcase

TIL about FEX-Emu. This looks absolutely incredible! x86 emulation on Arm64 with this level of performance so early on seems like an absolute game changer.

simple , in FEX-Emu: Sonic Mania showcase

Awesome stuff. I hope we see some more viable ARM laptops next year.

cheerjoy , in Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).
@cheerjoy@lemmy.world avatar

Nice writeup. Seconding not using Manjaro. If you want something Arch based, try EndeavourOS instead.

Oikio OP ,
@Oikio@lemmy.world avatar

Two votes for EndeavourOS, updated post.

nul9o9 ,

Plus one here for EndeavourOS.

Ziglin ,

+1

@seaQueue@lemmy.world avatar

Friends don’t let friends run Manjaro. Endeavour is a great place to start.

Potajito ,

Endeavour is great. Running that too. I sometimes think of distro hopping (nobara, cachyos?) but endeavour just checks all the boxes for me.

RiQuY , in Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).

To add some useful information. Forget about VR if you have a Radeon RX card, because a 1 year old bug still unsolved.

gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/7041

CarlosCheddar ,

I have an RX 6800 XT and use SteamVR on Linux just fine. I wonder why I’ve never encountered that error.

phoenixz ,

It says that downgrading a lib resolves that issue, maybe that’s why it’s had less priority?

RiQuY ,

The problem solves reverting a commit and building Mesa with that change. If I do that I will have to rebuild Mesa everytime I want to update. That doesn’t sound like a solution for me.

vividspecter ,

If I do that I will have to rebuild Mesa everytime I want to update.

Mesa is a pretty quick compile on a recent system, but if you’re doing that manually I get that would be annoying.

gecked , in Don't visit kohlchan.net/int

Dude stop, nobody gives a fuck. Nobody’s visiting it.

Deconceptualist , in Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).

Good notes, but man this could really use bullet points.

Oikio OP ,
@Oikio@lemmy.world avatar

Which app are you on? I’ve used standard markdown list markup, like:

  • One
  • Two
  • Three
fiestorra ,

I can see the dashes used for bullet points but it shows as having no line breaks in between, so it’s all a text blob.

Like - one - two - three -four

Oikio OP ,
@Oikio@lemmy.world avatar

Looks like there is a markdown parsing issue on the client you are using. At least from what I can see.

fiestorra ,

I’m using Sync, I think I’ll make a bug report yeah

Siegfried ,

Using boost here, the dots are visible

serpineslair ,

I can see the dots on Connect.

Deconceptualist ,

Sync for Lemmy app. As another said it looks like a bug. Sorry about that.

Your comment here too doesn’t show as a list until I start composing a reply. Then it looks fine.

JackGreenEarth , in How is powerplans/performance modes handled in laptops running linux compared to windows?

What do you mean by peak performance? I’ve installed Manjaro GNOME on my Asus Tuf Gaming laptop and am able to play Steam games with good performance. I set the power saving mode in GNOME settings to minimal, that’s all.

caustictrap OP ,

I usually uninstall armory crate and other manufacturer bloat from gaming laptop while using windows and i use high performance power plan on windows. But armoury crate unclocks better high performance modes delivering more power to cpu. Since you have no armoury crate/msi centre on linux you will never know the performance you are leaving behind. Correct me if i am wrong.

drkt ,

That just sounds like overclocking to me

vividspecter ,

high performance power plan

You can at least do this by using the performance CPU governor although there is a fair amount of nuance here in that how it’s implemented depends on the CPU and a few other things. In general, it’s a safe starting point, however.

If armoury crate is a CPU overclocking utility, than that is another matter. There is some CPU overclocking support on Linux, although I’m mostly familiar with AMD CPUs and this support differs by manufacturer. This page isn’t a bad starting point if you use an AMD CPU.

seaQueue ,
@seaQueue@lemmy.world avatar

Our asus-linux community has implemented support for most of the ASUS ROG models. There’s some TUF support available AFAIK but the focus was mostly on the ROG machines.

Check out asus-linux.org for the software details, there are binary repos available for Fedora and Arch.

Sanctus , in Diablo 4 is coming to Steam on October 17th
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I have to buy it again? Lmao, no.

DarkThoughts ,

Every freaking little indie game can give you an extra Steam key but Blizzard can't? The game was expensive enough already, what the fuck do we even pay for? To be just another cow to be further milked?

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much. Pay 70 bucks, no variation in gameplay or enemies, enjoy and restart each season.

pete_the_cat , in Confused by Lutris, game doesn't launch overnight.

From what I remember Linux does t like writing to NTFS formatted partitions, that was the case a few years ago, but maybe that changes since the new NTFS code was merged into the kernel “recently”.

Silejonu ,
@Silejonu@kbin.social avatar

That's still the case as far as I know. I would highly recommend against using NTFS on Linux for anything else than simply storing files.

bgtlover ,

@Silejonu @Natal @pete_the_cat then, how is it that usb keys and drives work with both windows and linux, once they have been formatted? Is there a different filesystem involved in that case? I, for one, didn't have issues writing on a USB drive, is that an uncommon scenario?

Silejonu ,
@Silejonu@kbin.social avatar

Reading/writing multimedia files (videos, pictures, audio, text documents...) on an NTFS partition works without issues. The issue arises when using one as a system partition (to install video games on, or worse, the whole Linux install). I don't know exactly what's causing issues, but my guess is metadata/permissions get messed up on NTFS when used on Linux.

entropicdrift , in Can somebody help me fix the sound in Robocop (2003) please?
@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Try using the latest GE version of Wine/Proton. Fixes most audio/video playback issues for me

molochthagod OP ,

Yeah, every time I tried, I used the latest GE version. Tried regular Wine and Proton too, and the result is always the same, I dunno what’s the deal with it.
