Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

No it’s not. It’s sad.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 5 weeks ago:
What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like “people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let’s make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games”.
And yet…they STILL fucked it up.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 months ago:
There is no “objective” when talking about subjective terms.
My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 2 months ago:
It’s always interesting the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I’d have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 2 months ago:
I made the jump two years ago. I started with a 512GB SATA SSD with Windows and then my main drive on Linux.
There aren’t any games I play regularly that don’t “just work” on Linux, but I also get that can depend on the person. I hope you can get there one day.
Until then…maybe dual boot?

If you want to run VR on Linux with your Quest headset, WiVRn works absolutely flawlessly. Been running VR with my Quest 2 for a while with it.
Not sure if jailbreaks exist for the Quest 3, but I’ve considered jailbreaking my Quest 2 in order to run it without a Meta account.

You installed KDE on Mint? Why not just install Debian with KDE?
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Start with something simple like Linux Mint. You can run it in a VM, if you want to “try before you buy”.

Valve made a compatibility layer for the Steam Deck and Linux called Proton. It uses a lot of technologies, including WINE, dxvk, and more to make Windows games run well on Linux. It basically takes Windows API calls and translates them to Linux with little to no performance penalty.
Steam also has native builds for Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux how, so you can just install it. Most Linux distros have Steam right in their software manager now.
Typically, unless the game has blocked Linux with something like kernel-level anticheat, it’ll “just work” on Linux now. There is a community database called ProtonDB that has a list of games and how well they do or don’t work.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Check Proton DB. If the games you enjoy work fine on Linux, which is the case for most games these days thanks to Proton, you should be good. The big exception is games with kernel-level anticheat.
If not, you can always dual boot for the few games that don’t.
I made the switch to pure Linux gaming when I got my Steam Deck two years ago. Been loving it ever since. Even SteamVR games work great streaming to my Quest headset.

Normally, I’d write this off as someone “letting me down easy”, but this was my best friend in High school that I knew for years, so I know the sentiment was genuine.

Wow never heard of this application. I’ll have to give it a try.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 4 months ago:
If you have a Quest headset, ALVR allows you to stream SteamVR to it.
I believe the Valve Index allows for Linux usage, but I’ve never owned one.

Please no. Look…I am glad you played Kirk, man…but your story is DONE. Picard’s story didn’t need its own show either.
Stop making rehashes FFS. Stop leveraging nostalgia and then disappointing us.

Fucking Orville did Star Trek better than modern Star Trek.
