Most content (excluding their own) is not available in all regions due to licensing issues.

Actually, even including their own for some dumb reason. For instance, Paramount holds the rights to Star Trek, but there’s no way for me to stream some of the shows legally, because Paramount+ isn’t available where I live.

Which to me makes no sense. It’s just a freaking website, globally accessible, hosting content they own…

Then it’ll probably shock you even more when you realise that this thing is hosted on Github, a site owned by Microsoft… :)

Nice! Loved the manga, can’t wait to see it animated.

That looks like a fun mix of analog and digital, done right. I might have to pop into to our local pinball place and see if they’ve got anything similar.

What do those season 1/2/3 panels do btw?

That was a hilarious read. Thanks for sharing!

Here’s my take:

May need a bit of tweaking though to suit your tastes, especially light mode. The current color options are a bit limited.

{
  "monet_override_light_secondary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_light_primary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_light_link_color": "#073642",
  "monet_boost_light_color": false,
  "monet_override_dark_secondary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_dark_primary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_dark_link_color": "#B58900",
  "monet_boost_dark_color": true,
  "monet_color_intensity": 0.6,
  "monet_manual_theme_color": "#002B36",
  "monet_system": false
}

{
  "monet_override_light_secondary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_light_primary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_light_link_color": "#073642",
  "monet_boost_light_color": false,
  "monet_override_dark_secondary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_dark_primary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_dark_link_color": "#B58900",
  "monet_boost_dark_color": true,
  "monet_color_intensity": 0.6,
  "monet_manual_theme_color": "#002B36",
  "monet_system": false
} 

Yes, in theory. In practice, Github has become a hub for such living documents, especially in the Linux/OSS world, so it isn’t strange for people to look there for guides and recommendations.

I’m not opposed to it, but is there demand for it to be on GitHub?

There is! These sort of guides are best suited to be hosted at Github/lab because of their dynamic nature. Any recommendations and “best practice” today might easily become outdated tomorrow in this fast-moving Linux world! Plus you can have contributors too submitting corrections and updates (if you wish to merge 'em), so you’re not left alone doing all the work.

Here’s an example of one such guide I’ve used in the past that’s still being updated:

https://github.com/AdelKS/LinuxGamingGuide

Mini all-in-one PC are expensive, just buy a used/refurbished regular PC. If you want, you can get them in SFF (Small Form Factor), which are still upgradable and a better option than AIOs. Here are some results on eBay for reference.

I’d recommend getting AMD because of their excellent Linux support and overall better gaming performance. Also, you don’t need a dedicated GPU for playing old games, even more so since AMD’s integrated GPU is a lot better than Intel’s, and works better on Linux too.

But it you want to play current games, you’ll need a dedicated GPU, and that $250 budget isn’t going to cut it unfortunately. However, you always have the option of buying a cheap used GPU later on, when you’ve got some cash to spare. But for now, if you focus on older games then the integrated GPU on an AMD will do fine.

In addition to what others wrote, here’s a practical example:

I wanted to insert an old photo in a comment, from my Google Photos. The photo doesn’t exist on my device, since it was taken from an old phone. I located the photo in Goolge Photos and downloaded it to my device. Then I went to pick the photo in Sync, but it was neither visible under “recent”, nor in any of the albums. So I had no choice but to scroll thru hundreds of photos to manually look for it, and found it under the original date the photo was taken - which makes sense, but in the previous gallery, my recently downloaded photos would appear at the top.

I’ve only got a few hundreds of photos so this isn’t a big issue for me, but I can imagine it’ll be a dealbreaker for people with thousands of photos on their device.

Did your app just get updated as well? :)

Yes, but that’s still three clicks. I was thinking more like being able to long-press the name of the community and the select either subscribe or block.

Seconded. Plus a feature to quickly block a community.

You mean users who joined Lemmy for the first time with Sync?

Surprisingly, the price works out to be almost exactly the same here in New Zealand (34.70 NZD = 21.18 USD).

when the ntfs3 driver was released I moved my games to an NTFS partition, i don’t remember precisely but some wouldn’t work, and then unlike my ext4 or btrfs partition which were unbreakable, a lot of things became unreadable and undeletable after a forced shutdown

Did you symlink the compatdata folder?

now I’m planning on making a btrfs partition for my games and using winbtrfs

I heard that with winbtrfs, you run into permission issues where every time you boot back into Linux, you’d need to chown any files you’d created in Windows, which would be a PITA. Also, I heard winbtrfs in Windows isn’t as stable as ntfs3 in Linux. Neither solution is unfortunately perfect so you may need to try and see what works best for you.

In general though, I believe regardless of what filesystem you choose, it’s recommend to NOT share everything and instead maintain a copy of the library native to each OS, and just share the “common” and maybe the “download” folder, and let Steam discover the existing files when you proceed to install the game.

It should hide automatically when scrolling.

LoL and WoW basically work perfectly on Linux (platinum rated). As for BG3, it works fine for the most part with Proton-GE / Proton Experimental. But since it’s still very new though, expect bugs, but also expect the compatibility to get even better within the next few weeks.

My question then is “Well, do you game?”

Really though, the question shouldn’t be “do you game”, but "do you like tinkering around, fixing things, troubleshooting, and learning new things, in your free time? ", or, “do you like major changes, and having the patience to make a major change in your life work, or would you rather prefer familiarity and stability, a mindset of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’?”

If someone has been running Windows for 35 years and hasn’t checked out Linux already in some capacity, I doubt they’re the kind who likes change, the kind of person who likes to experiment and tinker. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend Linux to them based on that reason, unless they’re also the non-tech-savvy kind who have very simple requirements - like my Mum and Dad, who’ve been running Linux for over a decade now without any issues (because their requirements are very simple, so Linux fits their needs perfectly).

Also, since you’re already on Fedora, you should check out Nobara, which is gaming-optimized Fedora-based distro made by GloriousEggroll, the guy who makes Proton-GE.

They said Proton-GE btw, which is a custom build of Proton by GloriousEggroll, which has a bunch of tweaks to make various games run, or run better.

https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom#overview

Proton-GE (or Lutris with Wine-GE) is what you really should be using, if you intend to game Linux.
