Seriously, thank you very much for the translation. Legalese it such a dumb thing to have to read through.

No, seriously.

This mindset of, “If you don’t like to read pages of documentation to figure out how to do the thing you’re wanting to do, then maybe Linux isn’t for you?” Or the “god. How dare you ask such a STUPID question. You’re using Linux wrong and it probably isn’t for you. Go back to baby’s first OS!” Is the biggest gripe I have about using Linux.

Don’t forget they did the same exact play when Helldivers released. They didn’t have it in at first, put it in, and took it back out.

This means they will continuously try and try to make this the norm. I see a lot of comments talking about buying the games now, and I just want to reiterate that they will try this exact same thing again after a few months to even a year or two. Don’t get complacent.

Ah, I’m sorry you didn’t get to enjoy it! It is my favorite game of all time, so that’s sad to hear.

I’d also like to throw another good point to the ones you have provided: The game is also about helping other players along on their journey.

Once I got to the good equipment, I laid down as much as I could to help others on their journey. I even went as far as grinding (which I legitimately hate doing) to build the roads, build the zip lines, and fixing other people’s equipment that I had used.

That, to me, was one of the cooler aspects of the game!

I found it to be so immersive, that the large map size was a bonus to me. I wanted to see it all, and by god I did. I have done every single thing on that game.

I found it even more immersive by camping when it got dark out, cooking to eat, and then going to bed. When I woke in the daylight, I would sit there and have Arthur drink a cup of joe, break down the camp, and continue on with my journey to wherever.

Now I want to play it all over again for a fifth time. >:(

Hello! I’ve been using openSUSE Tumbleweed as my daily (as much as I can anyway, some things still only truly work best under Windows unfortunately) but here are some things I did to get openSUSE ready for gaming:

1. Open up YaST. I prefer to use KRunner for most of my tasks, and to bring that up I use Windows key + Space on my setup, yours could be different if you’ve tinkered any.
2. Go to the Software Repositories and ensure that OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Tools for Gamers repo is checked. Close out when done.
3. Open up Software Management next. In here, search for gamescope. Tick the box to the left of the gamescope row. (I don’t have mangoHUD installed on my own, but you can search for it and install it too if you prefer. I don’t know what it does, so look it up and research it if you think you might want it!)
4. Next, search for gamemode. Tick the box to the left of it as we did previously.
5. Click the Installation Summary tab near the top, then click Accept near the lower right if you are satisfied with what is being installed. It never hurts to always read about whatever you are installing!
6. Open up Discover with KRunner (or however you please) and search for Steam. On mine, there were two options. One option is the flatpak version which I didn’t like because of the way it can’t interact with the system files as easily as the one provided by openSUSE themselves. So, I installed that one, but of course you can install either one you prefer! I just wanted my folders to be more legible/easily accessible for myself.
7. Depending on what GPU you have, you might be ready for Steam to download some games and play. If you have an nvidia GPU like me, you will probably need to make sure your drivers for it are installed correctly and updated.
8. I recommend you play around with some of the Steam settings, but the ones I want to focus on for you here are the games that aren’t native to Linux. For example, Metaphor: ReFantazio does not support Linux out of the box. So, what I had to do was click the game in question, and then click the cog wheel to the right and usually under the banner picture for the game. Click Properties, and then click Compatibility on the left hand side of this window. Tick the box next to “force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, and now a dropdown box will show up underneath that. Click this dropdown box and notice the options for the version of Proton you now can use. I think Experimental might work for the most part, but for Metaphor I used 9.0-4 (as of writing, and even then I still see some graphical hiccups quite constantly, but I don’t want to move over to a different Proton version because of how I have personally set my system up. It shouldn’t be as much of a headache for you.) If whatever version you choose to use doesn’t work, select another version and keep going until you find one that does work. If none work, I won’t be much help, but you can always look into trying through Lutris, as it will give you more fine grain control I believe?
9. Test. Test. Test.
10. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Hopefully that helps out some. Generally when I run into a problem, I’ll search like so:
how to get xxxx running on openSUSE Tumbleweed? openSUSE Tumbleweed xxxx issue

and so on and so on.

Good luck on your journey!

P.S. Steam can be kinda wonky on Wayland, which I forgot to mention in the steps, but to fix the flickering issue with my setup, I went into Steam’s settings > Interface and turned off “enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views” and the flickering stopped.

*Also, I think Wayland works better for playing newer games. I just know that on my own setup, xorg runs like garbage even on the desktop, while in Wayland, it is as buttery smooth as it can be, even better than Windows! So, look up how to change into that mode. You can log out and do it right from the login screen!

I am almost certain at this point that most if not all of those comments you see under the YouTube video are just troll farms from Russia, China, and North Korea.

Watched it earlier today and I’m happy to say she kept him in line by repeatedly shutting down his slimy tactics of “ask question, don’t wait for her to answer, something something Biden/Harris plan, ask next question before she can answer even the first one”.

She literally said on camera, “You aren’t even letting me answer the question” to which he eventually did finally shut the fuck up, but while still trying to “gotcha” her the whole time.

He eventually went as far as showing a clip of Trump denying his poisonous rhetoric of wanting to use the USA military on its own citizens, to which she replied “the clip you just played was not the clip of him saying his nasty rhetoric, you and I both know that”.

Kick their fucking teeth in this election, everyone!

Now that is some dedication! I did the human path before, but I might go elf this time around!

It came out awhile ago, so I’m sure it did age badly. Luckily there are mods that can soften the rougher edges for us to still get as much enjoyment as we can!

He wasn’t even working when he was there the first time! He spent more tax money than any other president on golfing most of his term. Oh, and even “better” he golfed at his own resort using our tax dollars.

Gotta hoover up all that typing data, am I right?

😒

What a fantastic RPG game back in the day. I had an absolute blast playing that game, and now I kind of want to refresh myself on it thanks to your comment. I’m sure my way of viewing things has changed, and there are some choices in there that I will definitely do differently.

Unfortunately, the stock one will be the only one with even a sliver of privacy preserving measures (so far). I tried Swiftkey when it first got released on iOS, and not only did it just not feel right like the stock one, it was also bought by Microsoft at that point and I hadn’t known since the last time I was on Android, they did not own it. :/

If you do find one though, let me know! I love trying out new things!

I’m the same. I play retro and indie titles on the Deck, and more modern and demanding games on the desktop.

Right…

Anyway, you do the same, buddy. Maybe don’t assume so much any more. Might get your “point” across a little better.

I agree with everything you said.

That doesn’t mean that we can’t at least try to show people or teach them things that they didn’t have any knowledge of prior.

All my life I have been self taught. Never had like-minded people, unfortunately. I just try to be the “older sibling” to this man, because he is where I was in life. No one took time to show him things, called him stupid, etc. He’s come a very long way, and now goes and does his own tinkering. If I just let him be, he says he wouldn’t have grown like he has.

Sometimes people need guidance, and that’s all I strive to provide. What he does after the guidance is 100% people are people.

A desktop that was a few steps away, with a bigger screen, a sound bar, and a subwoofer.

It’s okay. You can stop putting your feet into your mouth now.

I do try my best.

Please do not assume a whole entire 6 years of friendship by just this one comment.

I did say it’s okay, and that we can watch it on my desktop, which we then did, and even though DBZ isn’t a favorite of mine, we both got excited. His excitement from DBZ, and mine from his excitement.

He knows how I am, how many times I’ve mentioned how much I fucking hate ads. You, on the other hand, know nothing about me.

Have a good rest of your day.
