Devil May Cry 5.

I tried to start it a year ago, but decided to play the rest of the series first. Combined with Silksong being released, I have just managed to start playing DMC5 again.

Unpausable and unskippable cutscenes

Glad to hear that!

A bit of Arch Wiki and Podman’s own documentation.

I usually set :Z at the end of volume mounts and it fixes the permission issues. Now that I think about it, all my Quadlets are using this option.

They are talking about ray tracing, which has been quite underwhelming with RADV compared to Windows.

Ivy Wallet. While it is unmaintained as of recently, it is pretty much feature-complete and I really like its UI.

Yeah, I deliberately wrote it like that trying to be vague. Don’t know if it was a good idea though. 😅

I played it a few years ago, so I don’t remember if it had an in-game percentage counter.

Without spoiling much: the game has multiple very distinct endings and depending on your playstyle may require multiple playthroughs.

I can say that it is one the best RPGs I have ever played. Nearly every single choice you make has a very noticeable impact on the world.

I have been using Linux for a few years now I have never seen someone say “arch btw” unironically. I swear, memers do more damage to its perception.

The unfortunate thing is that OEMs don’t really have an incentive to ship Linux-powered systems.

Have you ever noticed how vendors who ship computers with Linux often do so at the same or greater cost than Windows? I believe I have heard somewhere that Microsoft subsidizes OEMs for shipping with Windows, which is scummy but Linux can’t really compete with this.

Yeah, I have been using it like that for a while. It is just a single environment variable.

I have been using Bitwarden on my various Android phones (including Samsung) for years and had none of the issues you described. The problem could be your device.

Wasn’t Signal only able to disclose first and last timestamps when a user has connected to their servers when receiving legal requests? I just assumed their protocol made it so that they can’t do it, or they theoretically can but don’t store such logs.

Did you follow the instructions here? Fedora by-default doesn’t ship non-free codecs and this may break some apps.

I really loved Nier games. Hope he makes something similarly weird someday.

I got a very recent Thinkpad and it apparently has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora. I went with Fedora KDE.

1. Linux is intentionally made to be modular and using the terminal is pretty much the only standard way to do things across many distributions.

I highly suggest you stop avoiding it because it will most likely be faster and easier to do something (i.e. system-level changes) with it than not.

2. If you want a hard-to-fuck-up distro, I think Atomic (at least that’s what Fedora calls them) distros are the best.

Similar to smartphones or MacOS, entire OS is a singular image that is also updated all at once. Core parts of the filesystem is also read-only, meaning it is pretty much impossible to mess things up if you don’t mean to do so deliberately.

The best in this regard are from uBlue project: Bazzite (most popular), Bluefin, Aurora, etc. While Bazzite is intended for gaming (things like Steam are pre-installed), the other are for general use. Bluefin uses GNOME desktop, while Aurora has KDE Plasma desktop environment. Look up their visuals and choose whichever one you like. I prefer Aurora because KDE Plasma is often much more familiar to Windows users.

3. uBlue distros don’t require a password for system updates (they happen automatically in the background) and so do installing/updating programs.

First, you should learn about Wine prefixes. Arch Wiki has a good write-up about it.

After the game is installed, you need to edit that setup.exe you added as a non-Steam game and point it to the game’s actual executable.

Steam’s Wine prefixes are usually located in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata. This directory should have some text config files that you can read to find out what ID Steam has assigned to it.

Also, you might have more luck with Bottles (available through flatpak) which is more suited for such tasks.

Love me some flatpak updates. I hope it will be as good as Android’s sandboxing in the near future.

Since you mentioned that this is a hybrid-GPU laptop, I’d suggest trying to change your default GPU to Nvidia exclusively from the relevant system tray applet. I did use to use Linux Mint on my old Acer gaming laptop and this helped a lot.
