yes.

tbf that’s also the tankie view about it.

ai is the rich stealing from us, piracy is usually us taking it from the rich.

even better. i don’t think any other platform is as good for emulators.

kindly fuck off from my computer

slightly different use cases.

most of these are also available in app format if you are so inclined. as in you can always use libreoffice instead of hosting nextcloud.

i don’t know how well versed in linux you are so ill try to be thorough:

overall it seems lutris is just running another instance of bnet than you set up in bottles, and might be running on system wine instead of proton.

see, these programs each have a “prefix” which is fancy for the folder the emulated windows C: drive is, the games aren’t showing because you are probably running it in another prefix, would be my guess. you can simply try pointing lutris to the bottles prefix, or set up bnet anew in lutris.

as for the crash, check the lutris config and ensure it’s running on proton-latest or the latest proton-ge (right now it’s v10). you can do that in lutris settings>runners>wine>cog icon. you might be missing runtimes in the lutris prefix.

temporarily lagging your mouse/pc while games load on wayland is an issue i had in a much older version, which is why i asked you about it. you are probably already running latest if you got the flatpak, though. running it from the terminal with flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris then trying it again might output useful information pertaining to this issue on the terminal.

more generally, you can use lutris’ log feature (up arrow by the play button > show logs) and see if it tells you more about the error you are experiencing when you run it. this is great for general troubleshooting. also, protondb.com is where people post fixes for the few games that might be stubborn, even if you are not using steam to launch it. known problems usually have known solutions so searching around before stressing about will usually help you a lot.

it’s hard to make an often straightforward diagnostic from far away, but these are the things i’d try first. let me know if i can help you further and i will try.

huh. i don’t think you did anything wrong with mint.

did you try the flatpak or deb version of lutris? was it recent? old versions were hit and miss for me too.

something tells me they wanted their own formats to catch on.

that’s not what they mean when they say “ai” though.

the definitions changed since the “ai” hype.

exactly when i needed some ram.

thank you based ai bubble, for making shit unaffordable because of spambots.

everyone goes through that phase. logs often help a lot, and you will start to get a feel for what may be wrong like you did on windows. once some things become second nature you will stop needing windows altogether. meanwhile, friction means you are learning.

i usually favor lutris for gaming anyway, it’s better at keeping everything together and updated ime. bottles tends to lag behind a bit by default which is not ideal for games atm.

anything interesting you use tasker for?

pebble watch now 100% on my consideration list. maybe i will finally get a smartwatch?

what do you guys find it useful for?

we should really be less inclined to put up with their continued existence.

is the training data open too? can i “compile” it at home?

south america, mostly.

but shit, us macbooks seem to cost as much as an used car too, don’t they?

only if you are a first world dev that can shell out (good) used car money for an overpriced laptop. i bet you could get that in that overall performance ballpark for much cheaper.

this except for the macbook. experienced computer people know better.

think a dirt cheap used latitude or a thinkpad. or a black box desktop.
