who@feddit.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31English13·1 day agoThe funniest part is their claim that people were being salty and should chill, at a time when there were almost no comments, and none were salty. Bot?
who@feddit.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31English101·2 days agoFor reference, even Deban Stable has been at glibc 2.31 or newer for three major versions now, and another major version is on its way this year. I don’t think this will affect many people.
Then whomever tested it “to death” wasn’t particularly comprehensive. I speak from more than a little personal experience.
Of course it won’t help in every case, nor did I claim it would. That’s not the point, and your contrarianism doesn’t help anyone. Good day.
Lots of people comment on this subject pointing out that some games don’t run on Linux, and conclude that Linux is still behind Windows. This fails to recognize a distinct advantage that Linux has: More efficient use of hardware.
If your system doesn’t have an especially fast SSD or lots of RAM, you might find that Linux gives a better gaming experience. It can often do more with less.
Edit to add: When I consider the fact that we’re mostly talking about games designed and built just for Windows, I find this really damn impressive. And it just keeps getting better.
Anti-cheat is allowed. There are a handful of anti-cheat systems that can’t work on Linux, but IIRC, they are in the minority.
The OGs like Wolf3D and Doom did not even have mouse support for aiming until much later.
I don’t think this is true, at least not for the original PC Doom, but I don’t have a record of it handy. shrug
who@feddit.orgto New Communities@lemmy.world•/c/BoardGameArena is all about the freemium website with dozens of free board games to learn and play onlineEnglish3·2 days agoYou linked to https://lemmy.zip/c/BoardGameArena, which is usually fine, but sometimes causes issues for users who are not on lemmy.zip.
It takes (most) people away from their home instance, to another one where they are no longer logged in and their preferences are not applied. Better to use a ! link.
What shooters had you been playing that required using buttons to turn? I’m pretty sure Half-Life didn’t invent mouse look.

I think you can set the
WINEDEBUG=+eventlog
environment variable to make Windows Event Log entries appear on stderr (the standard error stream). You can normally see this output if you run Steam from a terminal window. You may be able to redirect it to a file using Steam launch options, but I’ve never tried it.
The log is a plain text file. No special viewer needed.
Environment Variable Description PROTON_LOG
Convenience method for dumping a useful debug log to $PROTON_LOG_DIR/steam-$APPID.log
. Set to1
to enable default logging, or set to a string to be appended to the defaultWINEDEBUG
channels.PROTON_LOG_DIR
Output log files into the directory specified. Defaults to your home directory. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/#runtime-config-options
who@feddit.orgto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Heroes tend to just be well-adjusted people who learned to feel empathy as children, often from caring and patient parentsEnglish311·4 days agoIt makes perfect sense to me that people who suffer abuse or neglect when young would develop a deep-rooted drive to look out for themselves first and foremost. It would be (literally, socially, and emotionally) a survival mechanism. Unfortunately, it would leave less room than others might have for empathy.
I don’t imagine this would ever go away completely, even if their situation improved by adulthood.
The name of the image host had me thinking I was looking at a photo of a cat box.
Thank goodness I zoomed in.
Looks similar to Firefox with Multi-Account Containers, but with a different browser engine (one that is not from Google). Maybe cool?
