M-Discs exist. Blu-rays, Vinyls and CDs are usually sufficient for a life. This is why physical media is important.

Steam Machines?

I would like to add: people incredibly underestimate the convenience of having data on Blu-ray rather than on HDD/SSD: Blu-rays last longer and, if purchased cheaply (as in the case of the cheap PS3 game market), have a comparable or superior cost-benefit ratio.

In this case we can say that the console, given its low price on the second-hand market (and if with a working blu-ray player), is incredibly convenient even without the pirate aspect.

Void Linux, very clean and fast on old hardware.

[-] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 months ago

umu, if I'm not mistaken, should be adopted in the future by all major gaming software like Lutris

It's just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast.

Wouldn't be nice to also launch non-emulated games from here?

A thousand thanks! I don't know why it was on by default, I find it quite annoying.

The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn't justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

Maybe using Syncthing or MPD? I'm searching something to keep/share my votes or even maybe listen counts for desktop and mobile. Also it would be nice to create a backup for these data.

I love the ViMusic/RiMusic UI, it's something different that works also better than standard material designs.

Logseq or Orgzly Revived

While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

Nothing versus newpipe but PeerTube doesn't need to support proprietary platforms, also a dedicated app would probably be better to implement particular peertube's features.

Where do you download? Excluding particular cases, what are the common steps you take to make most games playable? Where do you keep and launch your collection?

I know there are in-depth guides but I wanted a more genuine commentary on your experience.

Think about it, Linux is the most future-proof OS, not threatened by companies or commercial interests, and the same can be said for Lemmy in the world of decentralized communication for topics of interest. Without these two things the preservation of video games would be greatly in danger.

KISS is all I need.

My stuff:

  • ArchLinux KDE, amdgpu, vulkan, wayland
  • RetroArch installed from official repos
  • cores installed via RetroArch utility

I'm using this command but it results in a graphical glitch when launched from steam:

retroarch -L "path/to/core" "path/to/game"

Possible causes I found:

  • the command may not work if the game is a .cue file
  • loading a game from Steam via RetroArch 64bit can be a problem(?)
  • cores installed with the utility are in ".info" and not in the ".so" extension

spoilerI haven't tried Steam Rom Manager as it doesn't solve my doubt and in any case I'm not sure it can solve the problem even if set correctly.

SimpleX Chat is an instant messenger that is decentralized and doesn't depend on any unique identifiers such as phone numbers or usernames. Users of SimpleX Chat can scan a QR code or click an invite link to participate in group conversations.

-privacyguides.org

It's clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

It's just me or no music player can correctly sort albums by date? I do tag my music using Picard and I had luck just with VLC in that sense (which is ok but I don't love it for music) but all other apps sucks with this.

My setup works perfectly with my old but gold RX580, the only issue is big picture: it recognize my controllers (SteamController or 8bitDo) but the buttons don't work correctly (for example (B) doesn't back but open a menu). I've tried to reset the chord or guide layout but nothing change.
