Microsoft also released their own package manager called Winget a few years ago. It mostly just wraps existing installers to allow for unattended installation, but it seems to work pretty well in my (limited) experience.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•SteamVR for Linux gets "experimental improvements to async support"English
3·2 years agoIt seems like one of the most conspicuous contributors to recent Linux fixes works for a consulting firm presumably contracted by Valve, so it definitely seems like a coordinated effort in preparation for… something.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•SteamVR for Linux gets "experimental improvements to async support"English
9·2 years agoThat’s a pretty confusing changelog item considering async reproduction has been straight-up broken since SteamVR 2.0. That being said, I’m thrilled that Valve seems to finally be fixing some of the long-standing issues on Linux. They also recently fixed an annoying issue with the right eye mask being uninitialized, and 2.5 along with seemingly this release has fixed issues with SteamVR Home.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What could your distro learn from another distro?English
3·2 years agoI miss when this style of website was more popular for software projects. There are plenty of projects with modern websites that still manage to do it well, but there’s just something about the instant familiarity that comes with that type of layout.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What could your distro learn from another distro?English
1·2 years agoI installed Fedora on a system for the first time a few weeks ago and had a generally positive impression of the installer, but I think it was still unable to detect the existing OS on the drive. It was fine because I was wiping it anyway, but I definitely got the impression that it’s mainly designed for more simple use cases.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Nintendo goes after Switch emulator yuzu in new lawsuitEnglish
393·2 years agoUgh, not this again. I’m very adamantly against piracy and I’ve personally dumped every one of my Switch ROMs from games I physically own, but these kinds of stunts make me want to pirate Nintendo games purely out of spite. Hopefully this gets thrown out or otherwise resolved quickly. The issue of clean room emulators has been tested before and found to be fair use and to my knowledge there’s no legal precedent for Nintendo’s claims.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Sea of Thieves and MineCraft alternatives for Linux if I'm not down for a MS account?English
5·2 years agoFyi PolyMC underwent a hostile takeover of sorts last year; I believe most of the former dev team now works on its fork Prism Launcher.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Steam Hardware survey for January 2024English
11·2 years agoI don’t know about you, but my work laptop is most definitely not participating in the Steam hardware survey and I’d probably be in trouble if it did.
KISS, my guy.
I think you’ve got it backwards. I learned to read pointer decls from right-to-left, so
const int *is a (mutable) pointer to an int which is const whileint *constis a const pointer to a (mutable) int.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•EU to use COVID-19 mechanism to bypass Orbán's veto and provide Ukraine with €20 billionEnglish
93·2 years agoI worry about the precedent that this sets. My understanding is that the EU has been as successful as it has in large part because of the fact that many decisions like this require unanimity, and bypassing that may lead to an overall weakening of the union.
Frankly, I think the other 26 members should seriously be looking into the possibility of ejecting Hungary from the bloc. It’s absolutely absurd that Orban has been able to hold the entire EU hostage time and time again, and I don’t really see any other way to remedy the problem short of a full-on revolution in Hungary.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?English
49·2 years agoThat KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user […] is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman.
Yeah, I stopped reading here.
The Asus BT500 dongle works quite well in my experience as long as you’re running a kernel from the last 1-2 years, it’s only BT 5.0 though.
That’s not really how it works. It’ll load quicker than on the 64 GB eMMC model, but that’s due to different technologies and nothing to do with storage space.
