No kidding! I was just thinking this morning that my Mastodon feed has gone bonkers lately and it is getting harder to keep up! I suppose that is a good problem to have but I only follow a few tags. I am, however, enjoying Mastodon way more than I ever did twitter.

Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

I really enjoyed XVI. It is not without its problems but overall is a good addition to the series IMHO. I replayed XV as well after not caring for it on my first playthrough. I ended up really liking it the second time around. The story isn’t the best but the game shines in the personal interactions between the characters while you are wandering around and stuff. A lot of the story is really told indirectly through that and I came to appreciate it. Just my thoughts.

Only problem I have had with LED lights is they stop working after maybe 6 months whereas the CF bulbs would go for years. I have CF bulbs in fixtures that have been working since before I got my first LED installed. What has your experience been? What brand of bulb are you using? I am willing to pay more for a bulb that will last.

Can you tell me how the ! Commands work? Where do I put them? Search? I am on kbin if it matters.

Same. First season was so good and the second season….I don’t even know. I didn’t bother with the rest. I didn’t even know there are 4 seasons. What a shame.

I adore XFCE, simple, functional, lightweight. What more do you need? I am currently running pop_os which defaults to Gnome and by comparison it just feels heavy and clunky. The other DE I had love for was enlightenment years ago. A purely keyboard driven DE. It was glorious.

Pop_os. I bought a system76 laptop and that is what came on it. It works well and is no fuss for me. Not a huge gnome fan but c’est la vie. Highly doubt a distro is going to center itself around something like xfce or enlightenment. I have distro hopped for years but for now I am happy with something I don’t have to tinker with all the time.

I was so mad about AB….until Apollo came along

I still can't bring myself to delete it. It just sits there on my phone, all sad.

I have an LG that is a couple years old. Never connected it to the Internet and don’t intend to but have wondered about firmware updates for it. I am afraid of an update adding ads or something else I don’t want. What is your experience? Or is there a resource that details everything (and I mean everything) that the updates change?

 

Hi all. I was hoping someone knew of some good resources on troubleshooting problems running games in Wine. How to identify a problem and steps to take when things don't work, or partially work.

For example I use Lutris to install/play my GOG games. One game, Temple of Elemental Evil, seems to be picky about running under one version of Wine or another. It seems to be happy running under lutris-GE-Proton7-43-x86_64, but crashes on startup on any other version of lutris-proton I have tried. It also won't work on the regular lutris, or fshack versions. So why this one in particular? I haven't done anything to it to make it stand out. But I don't understand enough to identify what is going on.

Or if a game simply won't run at all, I can look at the error logs and sometimes identify what is keeping it from running, but don't know what to do to fix it. For example Soulbringer opens an initial configuration window before launching the game, but when I click play, nothing happens and the error log says "PATCH.DLL" failed to initialize.

Was just hoping for a good resource to help me understand how to diagnose and fix these problems when they come up.

Thanks!
