☂️-

probably saved some cash there from replacing human coders with an llm, by the looks of it.

if you have been following them for decades you know too

sounds like an accurate representation of what would happen, too.

cable is the carcinization of media under capitalism.

it usually asks you the first time you run it, but people sometimes gloss over it because they are just used to closing nag screens.

yeah, libreoffice is sufficient but it could very much use some polish. i hope this news means we get an improvement.

tbf you are not using the tabbed ui in LO. it improves things quite a bunch.

isn’t the point of the game to be disturbing?

self censorship won’t help.

f-droid.

that’s an improvement over sending the usians our money.

barely but still.

a rich person

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.
