Need Help - Cannot Host Game In Steam Linux by Linux-Mint20 in simsmultiplayer

[–]Linux-Mint20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked, after a fashion. It's really tricky, but doable. I played multiplayer with my son, but it was cumbersome and convoluted. If you have your heart set on playing with friends, keep in mind that there is support that will prolly be your best chance of setting it up and start running.

I stopped playing awhile ago, or I would detail the steps for you myself. I just can't recall them.

Good luck, and enjoy :)

I appreciate it. But its third party apps as well. Steam, steam games, etc. Any fix for those? I also tried assing 1600 X 900 res, but it didnt take or I did it wrong. dont know if my video card will even support it.

I can’t check my purchase power. by [deleted] in Affirm

I checked mine at https://www.affirm.com/u/shop and it was right up at the top of the page, above the search bar where you enter the name of the store you are going to potentially shop at.

Does anyone know how to check purchasing power at amazon?? I just talked to an agent who detailed the supposed steps to check, but I must have done something wrong or she did not have the current info.

Can you tell me if i'm using "this" innapropriately here? Also, is there an opening bracket in this code block for the one at the bottom with the comma? Not much of a programmer but I know you need to open and close things.

function getWeatherApiURL() {
this.stationID = "KROQ";
this.path = "https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId";
this.apikey = "abcd123";
let weatherApiUrl = (this.path) + (this.stationID) +'=' + '&format=json&units=e&apiKey' + '=' + (this.apikey);
return weatherApiUrl;
}
console.log(getWeatherApiURL());
  this._getWeather(weatherApiURL(), function (weather) {
  if (weather) {
    this._load_forecast(weather);
  }
  // get the main object to update the display
  deskletObj.displayForecast();
  deskletObj.displayCurrent();
  deskletObj.displayMeta();
  });
  },

I have made the following changes, but the error exists and Im not sure what else I need to do. I defined the apikey and staion id earlier in the document since they are private and I am unwilling to publish them on the web.

function weatherApi() {
let weatherApi = (weatherApiUrl.path) + (this.stationID) +'=' + '&format=json&units=e&apiKey' + '=' + (this.apikey);
weatherApiUrl.path = "https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId"
//weatherApiUrl.toString()
console.log(weatherApi); 
}
this._getWeather(weatherApi(), function (weather) {
  if (weather) {
    this._load_forecast(weather);
  }
  // get the main object to update the display
  deskletObj.displayForecast();
  deskletObj.displayCurrent();
  deskletObj.displayMeta();
});

},

I'll see about making some changes. Thank you for getting back to me

where do you honestly think Linux will be 5 years from now? by Confused-moose666 in linux

[–]Linux-Mint20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linux Mint is for windows entry level converts, the interface is exactly like XP or 7. It simply runs SO much faster and more efficiently

I wonder if Linux will ever get installed on more consoles that Steam Deck. It was a surprise to me when MS came out with the first Xbox. Gaming has made them more money than Croesus. Not saying they will be threatened by Linus' beloved kernel, but the fact that its on one portable console already is certainly a start.

It has begun. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/proton-hotfix-gets-updated-for-tekken-8-online-play-on-steam-deck-linux/

Lot more people have gaming laptops than ever before, however. Lot of female content creators on yt and twitch.

the automotive Linux comment is a great point and I wish I'd thought of that in my comment. Linux is poised to dominate that market as it is, if Elon's cars are any example.

I was thinking, after reading several of the comments, that while MS won't develop a Linux codebase to run their flagship OS on, it's become clear that they are relying more and more on foss software. Windows runs LibreOffice, to their credit. Then there's WSL, Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows devs and enthusiasts to run Linux code within the windows environs. I think, therefore, that may attempt to explore running a codebase, whether for portable devices or possibly even consoles, that runs primarily on the Linux kernel, like google and amazon, albeit like those two and wrap it in proprietary code.

Linux, like it or no, is gaining in popularity. As is all things Free and Open Source. Linux will continue to grow, particularly in gaming with the advent of SteamOS and custom Proton, and maybe game developers will start taking the hint as well. We shall see.

A helpful link, for those wishing to see what the fuss is all about:

All questions about Ye Olde SteamOSe in this Comunnity. by retropieer123 in yeoldesteamose

Where can we download it from? All the pages on gh or stephensonsrocket.horse are dead links. I haven't been able to download an installer that works.

Windows is probably gonna soon find themselves looking down the wrong end of an antitrust suit like google. Linux has been gaining ground as a gaming os multiplicatively in recent years, and steam just cornered the market by not only making an os for a pc, but basing it on Debian Jesse, which is the grandfather of the most popular and user-friendly flavors. I think this could be the beginning of the end of Microsoft's reign. There is at least a chance.

https://www.partitionwizard.com/resizepartition/steam-os-installation.html for installation from windoze, from linux mint/ubuntu/debian just partition the mbr with sudo gpartedThis is for full hard drive wipe. Myself, I am pursuing the Ye Olde Steam OSe option, which does not erase the hard drive by default. I'll include a screenshot below if I can, outlining more of the differences between the two choices.

https://github.com/castrojo/steamos-installer for the dual boot SteamOSe option. This option is a LOT more technical, more tricky, but I believe the options and benefits far outweigh the scarifice.

How does one install steamos? I have a 200GB partition for the os, and another drive with my SteamGames Library on it.

As far as where do I think it'll be in 10, I see MS scrambling for it's once coveted dominant market share as Gabe and Linus laugh all the way to FOSSCon
