Just tried it with HGL 2.18.1: unfortunately Battle.net crashes immediately after logging in, using GE-Proton 10-25.
I’ll probably give it another try later on, I’m a bit too fed up with this at the moment. I already handle enough issues with Linux infrastructure during my day job and this week has been pretty rough so far. Another reason why I primarily game on Windows, dealing with problems like these feels too much like work.
Thanks, I’ll try that one!
Guess that’s one of the problems with gaming in Linux, there are so many tools out there that it’s a pain to find the magic combination that works for your specific situation at that specific time. The best ecosystem seems to change year to year, seeing how last year’s advice doesn’t necessarily works as advertised now.
Probably not in the mood of dealing with stuff like having to turn Secure Boot off to get my laptop’s Nvidia (Optimus based) card to work in Performance Mode, as the drivers delivered by Mint aren’t signed.
Or fighting with Wine and Lutris to get Battle.net to install, as I just want to play the Diablo II remaster. Only to find the Battle.net interface does not render most of the time, even after following advice like turning Hardware Acceleration off. Or having the launcher freeze completely when trying to use Proton, no matter if it is version 8,9,10, Experimental or Hotfix. Or finding out that after spending way too much time on getting Battle.net to work that the game I wanted to play actually crashes immediately to the desktop on start.
Or trying to get Bazzite to install, which it won’t because it keeps throwing a useless ‘exit code 1’ error during install. Which can’t be solved by following the online guides, as none seems applicable to my situation (no previous Fedora installation, no Fedora folder on my EFI drive, tried multiple drives, image checksum is OK).
That was my gaming experience of the last week and hardly the first time that I had to jump through hoops getting stuff to work. Getting Skyve to work for Cities Skylines II was also such a fun time.
I’m crazy enough to keep trying and debugging on my laptop. But my gaming PC is definitely not going to get converted to Linux anytime soon, for those cases where I just want to play a game without any problems. And unfortunately my debloated/detelemetried Windows 11 has so far provided a stable and trouble free gaming experience.
No Admiral, the Kilrathi War is finished, you can’t go back. How about you start a fresh war?
Try the Dutch climate. Here everything above 28 degrees C is, in my opinion, unbearable.
Scotty will simply beam all of them in the transport buffer until their patterns decay beyond any recognition. Just make sure he flushes the buffer when he’s done.
Oh well, I wouldn’t have been welcome anyway, seeing I’ve had the audacity to be critical of Israeli genocide defense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.
Guess I’ll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.
Well, I really enjoyed my two-week holiday at the start of Q2. Was nice to be at a popular location before all the big crowds come in. No complaints from my manager, only a sincere ‘enjoy your time off!’ So glad we don’t have that toxic Anglo-Saxon work culture here.
Your comment reminds me of a company where I worked for a while. Me and a bunch of other colleagues always arrived around 8:05, due to public transport it was either that our always being in late. So we usually logged in, which took 15 minutes to get to a working desktop, grabbed some coffee and started work around 8:20. As we had no contact with customers, we packed our stuff around 16:55 and left a few minutes early as that would save half an hour of waiting at the station. We’d otherwise be just in time to see our train leave, bloody annoying.
Smokers were allowed 15 minutes of smoking time, on top of the regular break. None of our group smoked, so the end result was getting home a bit earlier while still putting in more hours than required.
At some point somebody took offence to us leaving a bit early, so it was decided that was no longer allowed. We tried to argue that we start earlier, have no smoking breaks, but all in vain. So, from that point on we came in at 8:05, had our coffee until 8:30 at which point we logged in, had another cup while we waited and started work at 8:45. We took our lunch break, ended it with a walk and added the smoking time to that. Shame though that everybody always seemed to forget their cigarettes.
Helps by the way that it is illegal here to expect people to be in early to prepare for work. Slow computers? That’s not the problem of the employee. Preparation is work and must be paid as such.
It can be contained using magnetic fields, that has been possible since 2010: https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2010/11/17/antimatter-atoms/
Scientists are even preparing to transport it in the near future: https://glassalmanac.com/why-scientists-are-transporting-antimatter-in-a-van-uncover-the-reasons/
Only one way to find out.

With this character’s death, the threads of prophecy have been severed. You may load a saved game, or persist in this doomed world that you have created.
Yup…
This made my day even better, thanks and happy holidays! 🎄
Never uninstalled Unreal & Return to Na Pali. Once in a while it just beckons for a new playthrough. And the unforgettable soundtrack, still listen regularly to the original UMX files with XMPlay. 🤤
Personally I hated the whole gang warfare mechanic in San Andreas, so I never finished the game.
GTA IV was filled with details and graphically very good at the time. But the constant hounding by your companions was a major turn off. Fuck that “cousin Romain disliked you didn’t pick up your phone while you were being chased by the police” shit.
V was okay, but I also never finished it. Both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 just feels like a chore at some point. As much as I’d want to like them they just fail to hold my attention.
For me Vice City was the part I enjoyed most, not overly long and absolutely I loved the 80’s vibe. 🤤
Yes, assimilation of Airwolf and its crew would add to perfection of the Collective!
Guess that’s the difference between commissioned officers and non-coms. But he’s the transporter chief, just beam in a random chair from somewhere on the ship and program the transporter to automatically put it in the pattern buffer when someone enters the Transporter Room. Just make sure it isn’t The Chair, that might arouse suspicion. 😁
Well, at some point friction will start to become a relevant factor.
Absolutely not, as that would mean my company violates my country’s privacy laws. In my field of work there is no valid reason for wearing a body cam.
If it’s written in the law, it’s lawful. You can of course (and should!) debate about the morality of the diverse forms of lawful interception, but a blanket statement like ‘“lawful interception” is a fallacy’, is a fallacy in of itself.
Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
