Sure. The steam version is easiest, just install steam, get the game through steam and it should just work. Heres a website that tracks compatibility with linux through proton, valve’s solution to running windows games, its installed by default when you get steam: https://www.protondb.com/app/389730

Reading Kents unhinged messages, that seemed inevitable in hindsight.

Is it the Ur-Quan masters, aka Star Control II?

Great writeup! Thanks for doing this!

no NTSYNC still :(

Now that you mention it: I never realised that protondb only covers games on steam! maybe they should add a way to add nonsteam games.

quite a few of these links are just:

I installed windows game on the steam deck! Heres How I Managed This Herculean Task Using Arcane Magics: just runs the game with wine/proton

You can make lots of money off of F(L)OSS software, see Redhat, SUSE, etc. Its just a different business model, e.g. support contracts, administration, e.t.c.

Yes, this new iteration of Junk Store will be paid software and will be closed source.

And then I stopped reading.

This is really amazing, I never thought that an exotic system so un-linux-like could ever get a proper gpu driver, nevermind run the newest hardware!

Same with guix.

Ah okay! No its not rootless, in fact it can only do fullscreen I think, thats why Im still searching for a better solution!

Its not just for games, you can remote any program(or the entire desktop) with it. Not sure why they advertise it like that.

As for rootless: As far as I know you need some elevated Privileges to be able to capture Wayland, but it does not need to run as root. Not 100% sure though.

Im searching for a solution too. You mentioned wprs, have you tried its predecessor xpra?

And theres always stuff like teamviever, rustdesk, and my personal favorite moonlight/sunshine, although all of these are for a slightly different usecase(full access to a remote desktop).

This is a false equivalence, most courts outside china rule in favor of the GPL, so it can be enforced. Notably china does not particularily care about international intellectual property rights, and that includes the GPL.

soooo… What is this? What can you do with it? is it a ollama replacement?

Rust has its uses, it certainly has its place in the world of languages. I think if you are making a new low level project, rust is a good pick.

The Rust4Linux project was always fundamentally going to create disagreements and strife. Lots of angry headbutting was to be expected. It happening in such a public way, with sizeable collateral damage, was not.

In my opinion the other dev involved stepping down was inevitable, I read their recent blog posts and it seems like more burnout and this being the final straw.

I find it of note that hes only stepping down from the DMA mapping and still maintains other parts, so its really just about rust.

oh wow, no one is left from that disagreement, they both resigned.
