Is bullet heaven the name for a bullet hell with character progression? Cuz that feels about right to me, lol. I loved bullet hell games as a kid, but I just can’t anymore on the ones that require me to build my own skillset to do well at them. I’d rather just put in the time now to make my character good at them. I find myself playing all the “used to be hard game type but now has rpg mechanics” nowadays.
Basically the “roguelite” to their original “roguelike”. Like yeah your own skill still helps, but all it does is saves time now, you will eventually get there no matter how bad you are at the game. I used to eventually beat those older games, but as time wore on it got to a point where there was just stuff I couldn’t do anymore, no matter how much practice or even state save scumming I put in. Even going back to older games I had already mastered.
So yeah, I definitely am glad it’s become pretty prevalent now that those games have evolved to be more accessible. I miss being able to play the hard versions, but at least I can still play something like them.
I have been using TW (and its predecessors) for around 17 years and have no major complaints at all! KDE Plasma is my preferred desktop and TW comes with that option as a default. Wayland is available but still has a few niggles with KDE Plasma in my experience.
TW will play both indie and mainstream games with no problem and comes with many repos of up-to-date packages. CoolerControl is a good app for setting up your Kraken if necessary. Your GPU should work out-of-the-box.
TW supports Secure Boot and should detect it when setting up. My advice for installation is to create a bootable USB stick with the network install version of TW and go from there. The GUI allows you to select a default installation or set things up just how you like them.
I’ve been on TW for 3-4 years now (something like my 4th distro? Been on Linux for 15-ish years), and it’s great. I used KDE for the first 2-3 years until I replaced my NVIDIA card with an AMD card, and now I’m on GNOME because it has much better Wayland support.
I have no complaints about TW whatsoever. My main complaint is that openSUSE seems adamant about eliminating Leap, so I’ll have to figure out MicroOS sometime in the next year or so to migrate my servers. But that has nothing to do with TW or gaming, so it should be irrelevant for OP.
It has for ages, even on X11 IIRC. I happen to have two monitors, one with VRR and the other without, and I needed Wayland to get that to work properly.
Idk, I don’t play competitive games, and I don’t particularly value high FPS gaming (my monitor only goes to 95hz, which is plenty for the games I play).
I have seen that KDE supposedly allows turning it off now, so it’s possible GNOME also does since GNOME seems to generally have better Wayland support. But I’m really not sure, I just generally leave vsync on in games.
I tried the network installer but it keeps failing (i think because of maintenance --> status.opensuse.org/#scheduled-36 ) First of all, i do like the first few hours on TW (installed it on my notebook because cant boot my main machine right now and so i can try to tinker a bit with it).
And yes i do have a few question :)
But first of all i need to know if there is an app which can create WebApps like the WebApp application from mint. I know that i can create such things with chrome but is there an extra app for that available for TW? I searched the web but didn’t find a good solution.
The other things i want to try out first before asking, but i’m realy shure, that there will be a few other things i need to ask :)
You might try to add the repository for it without using the script. I followed this page, but you can skip the rocm parts of it (except for adding the key). I managed to install it on Debian 12 this way.
As most people suggested, I guess I don’t need the proprietary drivers at all. I managed to get it working with kisa’s ppa and an updated AMD firmware file for the kernel (and a quick initramfs rebuild). However I’m experiencing a weird glitch on multi-monitor setup now…
TIL Steam supports ChromeOS (and apparently Chrome OS supports APT and flatpacks). Could be good for adoption and pushing Microsoft out of their monopoly, but at the cost of another locked down system being in play.
I wonder, now that it’s starting to get a bit noisy, whether ProtonDB should let you disable displaying Deck and/or Chrome verified game icons.
Have you tried extracting everything in game.gog into the folder where you put the TR1X files? From there you only optionally need to download the music (lostartefacts.dev/aux/tr1x/music.zip) and put em to the same folder, and then just run TR1X.
While the explanations are indeed more Windows focused, the advanced installation should cover Linux as well.
Inux might one day achieve 100% compatibility with every gsme ever made running on quad quantum ai kernels and you’ll still be having sound issues, and suspend will sometimes just not work
I know right. All things considered however I’ve not had too bad of a time. Sound wise I think I’ve just been spoiled by my ThinkPad where everything works perfectly 99.9% of the time.
