took me a few gos to make the switch permanently. i wouldnt go back if you paid me though

which would create precident to undo the texas redistricting if successful? right?

If anyone is interested i have written a small script that i added to my crontab to check for, and if i don’t already have it, download and install each GE release daily (or however frequently you want it to run, it’s your crontab).

make sure your .steam/root/compatibilitytools.d folder matches the steam_compatibility_folder variable below and update it to match if not

#!/bin/bash

latest_full_path="$(curl -sLOJ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | cut -d\" -f4 | grep .tar.gz)"
IFS_orig="$IFS"; IFS='/'; read -a full_path_as_array <<< "$latest_full_path"; IFS="$IFS_orig"
latest="${full_path_as_array[-1]}"
extracted_file_name="$(echo $latest | sed -e s/.tar.gz//g)"
steam_compatibility_folder="$HOME/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d"

if ! [ -d "$steam_compatibility_folder/$extracted_file_name" ]; then
  curl -LS "$latest_full_path" --output "/tmp/$latest"
  tar xzf "/tmp/$latest" -C "${steam_compatibility_folder}/"
  rm "/tmp/$latest"
fi

i ran earlier today. it’s x11

Thanks, just tried it. seems to work well enough

Just tried sunshine/moonlight. seems to work well enough, thanks

Yeah it’s KDE Plasma which still used X11 by default.

I’m currently trying to get sunshine/moonlight working as others have suggested

I work for a multi billion multi national medical technology company at their office in central london. On day one after i got the job they gave me a brand spanking new top of the line macbook pro worth over £3k. I asked them for a bag for it and the IT guy who gave it to me looked like i slapped him in the face.

“Am i supposed to walk around central london with 3k of macbook in a plastic shopping bag?”

He produced some weird fabric envelope thing from a cupboard.

Luckily i’m sad enough to turn up to work with my own laptop in my own bag so i did have a bag but he had no way of knowing that

Kamala lost because she was too close to the administration that is blamed (rightly or wrongly, doesn’t really matter) for the cost of living crisis.

It also didn’t help that she was thoroughly uninspiring. The best part of her campaign was the actually refreshingly left wing (by american standards) walz.

It marked the third time that the Democrat party has run a soulless career establishment politician against trump. They only won the time before because Trumps fuck ups were immediately apparent and fresh in everyones memories.

i’m not forcing him into it, microsoft is

It’s not hers. it’s one of my computers that i am deploying to her house for her and her family to use.

It’s technichally for my neice but the rest of the family all also have access.

no one in that household has expressed a specific preference of operating system. other than my brother in law texting me to tell me one of the old games he tried to install doesnt work (i did promptly offer to “make it work” but he declined).

I have no problem with them installing windows on it if thats what they want. they wont be coming to me for technical support if they do though.

he’s still coming round to the fact he’s not getting security updates soon due to lack of a TPM module.

He’ll be running mint too by the end of the year

i installed linux mint on my sisters household PC last week.

my dad did his usual grumblings about “it should be windows” and i just said “i’ve been out of the windows ecosystem completely for the last 5 years and partially for another 3 years beyond that. i no longer provide support for windows, if you want them to have windows you need to support it”

he went quiet after that.

Thanks

care to elaborate?
