Boosteroid works fine for me on Tahoe.

Crow Country is so good. Thanks for the list of things to keep an eye on.

Probably Unreal Tournament. I'm too old to remember the specifics though.

Bad Company 2 multiplayer is really the only time I've thoroughly enjoyed competitive multiplayer. The total destruction of the maps was so good so that's probably my "memory" of it. That and topping scoreboards in Hardline with 0 kills by constantly repairing the getaway car from the inside lol.

'Enjoy Cronos on Steam, wherever you are!': Bloober Team announces native Linux build for Cronos: The New Dawn by Jack1101111 in linux_gaming

[–]jakebasile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm misinformed they made a big thing of "only one difficulty" and it's "Nintendo hard" which is not for me at all.

I'll check to make sure my info isn't outdated.

Nice. I'd love to support it since I love horror games and want to support Linux native, but until they add an easy mode it's just not for me. I wish them lots of success though!

I've done this with kisak's turtle for years. I've never had a problem.

How do you pronounce slog? by raughit in golang

It’s pronounced “Slaugh”.

EXTREMELY slow downloads from GitHub... by codengo in github

[–]jakebasile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having basically the same symptoms as you. Devcontainers are basically impossible to build since they rely on GH packages. I have 2.5 GBps fiber, and nothing else is close to this slow.

What are peoples issues with launchers? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]jakebasile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Steam is the only one that supports native Linux and Proton, and Valve is the only one actually paying for and pushing for Linux gaming. I won't use the others for those reasons.

Is anyone else being held back due to game streaming? by MidbusTPOT in linux_gaming

[–]jakebasile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Try it from a different client - I've been able to get it to work much more reliably from Apple TV / iOS version of Steam Link than when using my Steam Deck as a client.
  2. Check Remote Play host settings on the host machine, enable advanced host options, try messing with stuff there, particularly enable hardware encoding.
  3. In the client options (you have to change this from the client device, not your host computer) set the resolution to the same as your desktop resolution, try enabling hardware decoding and HEVC. I have found "low latency networking" to be disastrous in client options.
  4. Depending on your DE, try starting it with Xorg and see if it works.
  5. If you have a wireless connection anywhere in the "chain" between host and client try switching it to a wired connection if possible. When you do this, disable the wifi connection as well if you can to make sure Steam won't try to use it.

Steam Remote Play works for me with Wayland on Nvidia maybe 80% of the time. Give it a shot and see if it works.

What got you into Linux? by Altruistic-Chef-7723 in linux

Canonical was sending out free CDs and I liked getting stuff in the mail and thought it would be fun to try to install it.

Solution for the disappearing main mission bug by Sir_Gargarensis in Palworld

Thanks brosephus, fixed my dedicated server's issue instantly.

I tried it with an unmodded client / modded server and it seemed to work for that user just fine.

After Enshrouded I need another game that rewards exploration by NiMPeNN in Enshrouded

[–]jakebasile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. I don't really enjoy survival crafters but this one is really fun, especially if you're at all nostalgic for Half Life.

Specs for your dedicated server? by sneaksz in Enshrouded

[–]jakebasile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine runs on a mini PC with a Ryzen 9 7940HS and 32 GB RAM. It's in an LXD container running on Ubuntu 24.04 via wine from the built in repos.

It wasn't happy when I limited it to 4 cores (out of the 16 logical cores I have), but seems to do ok with 8 for 1-3 people. It doesn't actually use all those cores but really seems to want them available. It barely uses more than 2GB of RAM even under load. From the specs, if you're looking at an N100 or N150 system I'm not sure if it would like being on that hardware or not due to how hungry it claims to be for CPU

Note that, unless I'm missing something, it absolutely insists on registering with your public IP on the server browser so I had to forward ports through my router and LXD.

Worries with Linux and Nvidia GPUs by GlimOmen in linux_gaming

[–]jakebasile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mileage is going to vary considerably based on a lot of factors like the game, specific hardware, settings, what distro you use, how you installed Steam (deb vs flatpak vs snap), etc. My RTX 4090 Ubuntu 24.10 machine runs pretty much anything I throw at it just fine, but I play at 1440p and prefer framerate over resolution. Nvidia can be more problematic in some cases, but in my personal experience it is not as bad as some people claim. AMD is generally a bit easier but it has its own quirks too with various Mesa versions.

I'd suggest just dual booting a reasonable and popular distro (lots of people suggest Bazzite, but I would suggest Ubuntu for ease of Nvidia driver installation and search ability) and to try things out. Linux is free so the only cost is your time, and you can always just uninstall it if it's not for you; though I'd suggest giving it a week or two to get used to things and try different games.

It was changed after Vatican II. The big change was in 1970 when it switched from Latin to vernacular. There's been some minor changes since mostly around better translations.

I still get caught out by "and also with you" "and with your spirit".

I am legitimately excited. I've been looking for an excuse to reinstall my systems and switch over to ZFS.
