Just another Swedish programming sysadmin person.
Coffee is always the answer.
And beware my spaghet.
It’s great to see more full-AMD hardware from TUXEDO. I’m currently using their Aura 15 Gen2, and my only complaint is about the fingerprint sensor - which isn’t even really a TUXEDO issue as they have written and submitted a patch upstream for libfprint which makes it work. (And since I’m using Gentoo I’ve just dropped that patch into my local portage tree until upstream merges it)
They’re definitely not the cheapest computer vendor, but their quality is good and their support is great. No odd boot behaviors, ACPI errors, random device disappearances, etc, like I’ve had with other non-Linux-first vendors.
Doesn’t look like so in the beta at least, it will always launch in an SDL window - and doesn’t link to the curses libs either, which makes some sense with it being a Steam game.
Though using dfhack and the remote interface could probably still be used to have a tty client.
Freelancer’s installer has had some issues with Linux in the past, it actually uses a couple of really odd side effects of Windows API calls as part of its functionality - which has caused issues on actual Windows as well for some people.
If you’re using Lutris, my suggestion is to use the add new game button in the interface - the plus in the top-left, and choose “Install a Windows game from an executable”, then you’ll get a perfectly clean prefix for that part.
And I’m also going to take the opportunity to add a link to Librelancer, an open-source remake of the Freelancer engine which has been going on for a while, not quite yet to the point where it can play the campaign though.
Seems to work with my personal setup at least, with two libraries - the default on
~/.local/share/steam
, and one on/mnt/storage/steam
- and Stardew Valley installed in the secondary storage library
