citrusface , in New update for Dota 2 might pull me back in, with new reporting and matchmaking

Shit, I’ll download this tonight

pragmaOnce , in Im not sure why, but making the swap to linux has made me play more if my games.

Literally same. Changed my daily driver from windows a year or so ago and its been night and day. Having to be intentional about acquiring games and getting them running with proton/lutris (not too much work these days thanks to Valve and GloriousEggroll) made me less of a collector and much more focused on what I want to play. Which means I play a lot more. Also this year has had some phenominal titles for indie and AAA.

Similar story here. I flipped from Windows 10 to Elementary OS a few weeks back, and have opened Steam to play games way more than I ever have.

I think the change of scenery help rekindle my desire to play games.

@Null @citrusface is Linux better than windows? I have a Mac? How can I put Linux on it?

citrusface OP ,

I think all operating system have their plusses and minuses.

I would suggest dual booting and trying out a distro before fully jumping ship.

There are a lot of distros to choose from, but installing Linux is a pretty easy task.

You’ll essentially just need to boot into BIOS and the boot from a USB that you’ve mounted an ISO on for the distro of your choice.

I am using Pop!_os and personally, I love it. It has a MacOS feel, but it’s not a locked in ecosystem.

distrochooser.de

You can use this site to get a feel for your options - Elementary OS is another that has a MacOS feel.

Once you land on a distro you want to try out - YouTube will be your friend, there are 1000 videos out there to show you how to set a up a dual boot.

Just make sure you back up ALL of your files before you start anything just to be safe.

From what I hear, installing Linux on Apple hardware is a bit more complicated than that. They might be stuck using a distro like Asahi. I’ve never bought any Apple hardware, so I have no experience with this myself though, so someone please correct me if wrong.

citrusface OP ,

This is a fair point. There are a few more things to factor in from a Mac standpoint, but once you figure out the fiddley things you need to do foe installation, I am fairly certain you can use a wide range of distros

Again. I am a total noob. This just comes from my googling and watching YouTube on a few things.

infinipurple ,

Can’t speak to any others, but ElementaryOS runs great on my MacBook Pro.

What Mac do you have? The instructions will vary depending on whether it’s x86 vs Apple silicon, and what year / “make” the Mac is.

Not sure how to put it on a Mac, but I don’t think any os is better than others. Windows, Linux, and MacOS to me is just like picking a flavor of ice cream. They all do the job, but what are you willing to tolerate?

Now I know that’s over simplified but that’s really how I look at it.

sugar_in_your_tea , in Im not sure why, but making the swap to linux has made me play more if my games.

Edit: …

You can edit titles on Lemmy.

And that’s awesome! I got the same effect when I got my Steam Deck. All of a sudden, I was passionate about gaming again.

Enjoy!

citrusface OP ,

Yeah I’m on Sync and it’s not letting me - or I’m an idiot

justabrownie , in Can't connect PS5 Dual Sense via Bluetooth - Fedora 38 KDE

I had the same issue on Nobara KDE which is the same as Fedora KDE. The issue was with bluez the bluetooth api, version 5.69 is broken. Either you can downgrade it or wait for an update. To downgrade, use the command line “sudo dnf downgrade bluez” to downgrade bluez to 5.68 which is working for me.

WereCat OP ,

Thanks! I’ll try this when I get home

WereCat OP ,

That actually worked! Thanks!

justabrownie ,

You’re welcome

Untitled goose game, human fall flat, subnautica, kerbal space program, getting over it, and a couple of free VR games. Fewer than I expected tbh

tallwookie , in Steam Games Made With Unity

scrolled through the list and only recognized 2 or 3 of those, none of which I have in my library.

citrusface ,

Are we looking at the same list? There are like 50 games in here that I own in the first few tabs - and more that I have heard of, there is so much that is at risk.

surewhynotlem ,

Oh man. If you haven’t played outer wilds you should. It’s a mind fuck.

luthis , in Steam Games Made With Unity

Is there a way I can see which of these I own, so I know which to play before they go bye bye?

mossy_capivara OP ,
@mossy_capivara@midwest.social avatar

I think you can use steamdb,but I’m not sure steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Unity/

stephenc ,

I see how to not show owned games, but not how to show only games you own. How is this not a filter? Come on, steamdb.

BeamNG Drive. I have way too much time in that game and I have barely touched making mods.

If you’ve never played Kerbal Space Program (the first one), it’s got a Linux native version and a mod manager specifically for Linux. It’s probably the best sandbox I’ve ever played (2000+ hours).

Icarus if you want an FPS Terraria for side scroller OpenTTD for retro top-down Cities Skylines (sequel out next month) for city sim

If you want a no-combat platformer/puzzler, Sable is a good time with beautiful art.

If you want a hardcore RPG sandbox, try Kenshi.

Terraria

Stalker has sandbox elements. Dwarf Fortress probably, but it’s highly addictive at least for me. Darkwood is pretty good. Core Keeper, Minecraft, Raft? Outward… Terraria…
