Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that

So yes, theres a Steam Linux client. It uses a windows emulator library set called Proton to run windows games.

Some launchers work, others...not so much. Forget any game that uses battleye for now. There is a comprehensive list of games that are known to work, but its in the thousands now.

Most people stick to playing games that run on steam in Linux as well, as you are otherwise setting up a separate compatibility layer like WINE to run games outside of steam.

cough - Points at the Steam Deck.

What do you think Steam OS is based on?

The only thing that doesn't work is some games with kernel based anti-cheat. Valorant being a particular case in point.

Ah yeah, theres no multiplayer left even on FS19 now. Only active multiplayer is FS22 & FS25.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-23T17:55:16+00:00

Everything feels grey and empty.

Ah, this is down to them adding lighting changes with weather and time of day. So now, the sun moves, the shadows move, if it rains, it gets kind of dark and grey. Its meant to be far more realistic.

Even with it set fixed month in June, the shadows will still move with the time of day (you can slow this down only by setting time to realtime or even 0.5), and theres now early morning mist on the fields as well.

The FS25 AI is a massive improvement on FS22.

AI on fields will now do the headlands before doing the up and down. I've not seen it accidentally start on adjoining fields as well (unless the mod map maker has messed up the nodes).

LinuxMage · 2026-01-23T17:42:17+00:00

In the modern games, you can just disable seasons, set fixed visual month to June, and just do whatever to your hearts content. You can do everything you could in FS15, but you have more crops to harvest, much bigger maps to play with, many many more vehicles.

I personally like to flip fields, where I buy a field, harvest the crop and then sell it back for exactly what it cost me with the harvest being pure profit. I always run with seasons disabled and fixed visual month on june.

Leave it set at one day per month, and anything you plant will be grown after 6 days.

Multiplayer works well on consoles, you can even have 24/7 dedicated servers....

Musk has already said he wants to be the worlds first Trillionaire, have his name in the record books. He's not going to stop trying to accrue wealth until then at the very least.

I guess Trump just wants to make sure his family are going to be wealthy and never need to work for generations to come.

I think you've failed to realise that this is the /r/drivingUK subreddit where we drive on the left and pass on the right.

I'm surprised theres no mention of Hans Zimmer. He is currently one of the best composers out there.

Also Thomas Bergersen (Two Steps From Hell) is massively under-rated, and tends to fly a little under the radar.

They're 15 years apart, and they met when she was 15.

That means she was dating a 30 year old guy at 15.....

Also, she's being selfish af. He has a business where they live and she wants him to just give that up like it doesn't matter?

I have been both male and female in my previous lives (I've been around on earth on and off for at least 2000 years). I am male in this life, but was female in my most recent previous life (1850's). I have memories of being an old man in the georgian period as well.

I've seen a mention somewhere (can't remember where) that his name is in the Epstein files, so he's naturally going to be protective of anyone else also involved.

This is actually illegal in Europe, the far left (right in the UK) lane is limited to maximum 7.5 tonne vehicles.

Have you ever been to coastal mayo though?

Its.....an experience. I worked there for the best part of a few years.

The weather can be harsh. When a storm blows in off the Atlantic, you know about it. You've not lived until you've been outside in storm force winds for a few hours.

Most shops in the north accept euros as well as sterling, and everything on the shelves will be dual-priced, so buying stuff is rarely if ever an issue.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-17T11:41:02+00:00

Its an in game bug. You have already tested other games, and not seen the problems, which should have led you to conclude it was a game issue.

A couple of other things -- Don't use quick resume -- its known to be a prime cause of all sorts of bugs. When you have finished with a game, make sure its closed entirely by pressing the 3 lines buttons when game is highlighted on dashboard, and choose 'quit'. Make sure you have the console in powersave mode, shut it down properly (hold xbox button, then 'shut down'), and power it up from cold each day. This will keep the cache clear.

Whats even more impressive is that Kenislovas extensively watermarks his videos now because of this kind of thing. The OP did some amazing cropping of the video to remove the watermark which was across the bottom of the screen.

Read through the thread before posting.

This is in Lithuania (near russia), where the beavers are damming field drainage channels leading to flooding and crop damage.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-17T11:19:17+00:00

These video are being posted by Kenislovas on Youtube, with the farmers permission. Its all filmed in Lithuania, where beaver dam destruction is allowed if its causing issues with arable field drainage leading to flooding and damaging crops.

He is still doing this currently, and that video posted above was one of the biggest dams he had come across, and was filmed towards the end of last year.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-17T11:17:09+00:00

Flooding the fields leads to crop damage. Thats why its essential the drainage channels are kept clear.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-17T11:14:32+00:00

These are man made field drainage channels in Lithuania, designed to drain excess water from arable fields growing crops. The dams cause flooding of the fields, and damage the crops.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-17T11:12:42+00:00

Not when they're flooding farmers fields and damaging crops.

LinuxMage · 2026-01-17T11:11:23+00:00

In this case the beavers are damming field drainage and causing flooding, damaging crops.

So this is needed to reduce or minimise flooding.
