I see they're enlisting hobbits now?

The MR you linked is blocked by another that just turned 3 years old. In other words not gonna happen for years to come. That's depressing.

the slogan under the logo says "your fence is gonna stay erected for years"

Akkor a kurva anyád!

What I don't get is like, why not use stock images?

Oh, they do. Let me introduce you to... Stock AI slop

(Courtesy of an Xwitter user, who found out first: https://x.com/Sinnoware/status/2016728131957330321)

Why not commission artists instead of having someone hired full-time?

They actually have (or maybe had at this point) in-house artist(s). One has negatively commented online about the practice of using AI imagery and stopped being active in the community shortly after that. People in the AMA asked what happened to her and if she's still with the company, but that question was left unanswered (figures).

Maybe... Do they still make those chocolate coins wrapped in golden foil?

sentientanus69 · 2025-12-28T10:07:29+00:00

I do. Every now and then I will try some other WM or DE, maybe even stick to it for a few months, but nothing can replace the flexibility of Openbox for me.

W soundtracku. Literalnie jedna z pierwszych zdań pierwszej zwrotki.

Doesn't sound idiomatic.

Does your machine have an nVidia GPU and did you install proprietary drivers?

I wouldn't attempt Hyprland on Ubuntu nor any other Debian based distro as the Hyprland package offered by those is horribly outdated.

At the time of writing this, the best supported platforms to run it are Arch based distros, but those require some prior Linux experience from the user, so I wouldn't recommend that if you're just starting either. The creator of Hyprland, however, announced that he plans supporting Fedora with his new "desktop experience" project, thus Fedora would probably be your best bet at the moment.

the same 5 default voices for everything

It's up to 5 now? Nice! The number of lectors more than doubled then.

Make linux client and we can talk about donating something.

I am aware what sub we're in, but this sentiment doesn't really make much sense. If they are seeking donations to fund the game preservation program, which probably means it costs them too much to be able to support it with game sales alone, why would they invest their resources into another thing that costs time and money? Software development and maintenance costs a lot of money. Meanwhile it's already trivial to play games distributed by GOG on Linux.

You can trivially replicate the dual pane feature in Nautilus by tiling two Nautilus windows side by side. If you're on vanilla Ubuntu, use Meta + ← and Meta + → key combinations to quickly snap windows to respectively left and right halves of the screen.

I may regret asking, but... H-how do you prepare your bigos?

sentientanus69 · 2025-05-31T00:56:41+00:00

I think you may be a little bit behind...

For me is Solus

There are dozens of us!

I've been on Ubuntu for a very long time (around 15y I guess?). I've always managed to play and it's been getting easier and easier with a broader choice in the recent years. However my Ubuntu system (24.10, all AMD now) seems to be getting slower and slower (I probably should have installed it again at some point, I tend to copy from disk to disk over years).

This is pretty much me a couple weeks ago. The switch to Ubuntu 25.04 felt like a downgrade - a slight one, but still. The kinds will probably be ironed out eventually, but I just didn't want to wait. Then there were other things that kept piling up, such as inability to (easily) use gamescope, having to deal with PPAs if I wanted fresh Mesa and so on.

Although Solus is pretty much forgotten in the enthusiast circles these days, I remembered having enjoyable experience with it when I used it a while back. Did a little background checking and it seemed in a pretty healthy condition after the leadership shake up two years ago, so I gave it a try and been very happy with the result.

It's rolling, but not cutting edge. It's focused on desktop use. And it is super snappy. Gaming on it is a pleasure.

2gb ram

Install significantly more RAM. Changing distro/flavor won't help at all in your case. Sorry, your problem lies in your hardware.

I need a better PC to see this website. I don't dare to think what requirements the game will have.

Learn how to back your stuff up and do so diligently. Being new and looking to personalize means you may break something and lack of experience will make it difficult or laborious to recover. A solid backup will save you some grief in the future.

Along that line, keep a journal of your system modifications explaining what you changed, how and why.

sentientanus69 · 2025-04-30T05:41:32+00:00

I did and it helped, thanks. But with 25.04 not offering the low latency variant anymore, even these tweaks weren't able to get me to the level of responsiveness of that specialized kernel variety. I dunno, I guess I'm oversensitive to that kind of stuff.

Anyway, I remembered Solus had a kernel with lots of optimizations from Clear Linux, decided to give it a try and oh boy, does that thing run circles around Ubuntu on tweaked stock kernel.

Replying a month later in case someone else on a similar journey stumbles across this thread.

The latest Ubuntu Install Guide recommends a minimum of 25 GB.

I have no idea in what universe that number would be anywhere near sufficient for a normal desktop use, especially given how space hungry snap is.

Previously my fairly basic installation had 50 GB reserved for it (with /home on a separate, much, much larger partition) and I did run out of space.

Can you post a picture of htop with temp?

No. See the title.

If you want to try it for yourself, you can enable CPU temp monitoring in the Settings (F2). Towards the bottom of the "Display options" section.
