Signal? No.

I'm running Signal right now on Linux Mint.

Can you run Battlefield 6?

This isn't even a Windows or Linux thing: Why the hell do you want Saudi Arabia and Jared Kusher* to have kernel-level access to your machine? Why, why is that worth it for just a game?

Microsoft's cloud admin portals appear to be down worldwide in c/technology@lemmy.world

Remember when the sales pitch of The Cloud was it would always be online?

I 100% get what you are saying. But I'm also 100% fine with voting with my wallet by not supporting game developers that demand kernel-level access to my machine.

Think about the EA stuff. You install one of their games, and now Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner* have kernel-level access to your machine. Why, why the hell is that worth it for just a game?

Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?

This is what I did. Made the installer mostly a bunch of hitting 'next'.

Plus, I don't trust Windows to not fuck up my Linux drive, so when I used to dual boot, I would only have one or the other in the computer. Though, haven't booted into the Windows drive for months now.

The chart is based on ProtonDB, which covers all Steam games.

He did make a new, expanded version about two years ago. I'm probably going to give the mod a go. :)

They already made this remake. You can buy it on Steam for $10.

Remake #2 is getting kinda lazy...

Nvidia and TSMC produce the first Blackwell wafer made in the U.S. — chips still need to be shipped back to Taiwan to complete the final product in c/technology@lemmy.world

Especially if these pears are shipped by sea. Then it’s even worse.

Shipping via sea is the cheapest and least greenhouse gas producing way to ship things. With the only exception being pipes, which are significantly better than ships on both fronts. However, we shouldn't be shipping peaches via pipe. ;p

please don’t mention Heroic or Lutris because they barely work either

Odd, been enjoying Silksong and earlier Baldur's Gate 3 via Heroic (GOG) and it just works on Linux. Not sure what the 'barely works' part you are talking about is. Hell, half the games I buy are through GOG now. Only one I had to do anything for is Breath of Fire IV, which isn't even offered on Steam...
