Perhaps organised into some sort of domains for clarity?

“No way to prevent this”, says only package manager to which this regularly happens

It’s simply the best Windows. Like, it’s still not as good as Linux for anything a bit complex, but at least it’s actually usable, fast, doesn’t feature ads in the start menu, doesn’t have built-in AI shitware, and has a decent customization capability.

This “ackchually, Win10 is good” revisionism that appeared when 11 released is infuriating. When 10 came out, everyone hated it, and now that something even worse exists, somehow the old shit became good?

Explain how a killswitch that let’s MS remotely disable your system is useful for anyone but MS.

Workshop is a built-in mod store. Input is controller remapping and emulation (typically used to play older games that don’t support modern controllers, or controllers at all). Remote is exactly what it sounds like (run a game on your powerful PC and stream it to your old laptop or phone).

Those things are the responsibility of the client software, but on all stores except GOG, the client software is also the store client. You can’t (normally) run games without the client. GOG has a client (Galaxy) but it’s nowhere near as advanced as Steam.

GTA 6?

I’m surprised they don’t have some form of automatic scaling.

None. But since on other stores, running the game is tied to using their platform, they provide extra services to be more appealing, such as cloud saves, achievements, Steam Workshop, Steam Input, Linux support, remote play…

I’m not a Steam fanboy, I’m just sick of GOG being praised as the saviour of gaming in every video game thread on Lemmy.

The secret ingredient is crime.

Games with DRM aren’t on GOG, but games without DRM are on Steam.

Wait, which countries don’t have Internet?

I guess the same than between shooting and making a movie. But the term game development is confusing, as it includes more than actual development.

Pros of GOG: ability to download an installer

Cons of GOG: no features, very few games

Pros of Steam: everything

Cons of Steam: making backups of your games is marginally harder than on GOG

I wonder why more people don’t fall for the GOG meme. Truly a mystery.

No.

SQLite is fine for small amounts of data and very few users. The bottleneck with Nextcloud is almost never the database.

Those who don’t know may be using Nextcloud AIO, which is bundled with Postgres.

CoD players don’t play other games anyway.

Legally, it’s exactly the same. You don’t own anything.

You don’t own anything on GOG. You only have revocable licenses. This is explicitly stated in their terms of services.
