My schedule for streaming is going to be weird for the next few weeks as I am taking CISSP classes. So for the time being I will be streaming on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays as I am able to for the time being.
Looks like Sony reversed their decision on forcing people to create a PSN account and link it to steam to continue playing Helldivers2. So maybe next stream I can finally play Helldivers 2, not that I don't like Fallout 4, but I can always come back to Fallout 4 later.
I may stream again tonight or at least Wednesday seeing how I feel this evening.
All the best parts of #TF2: no cosmetics, no unusuals, no unbalanced weapons, no ranks, no aimbots. It doesn't clog RAM and CPU, has polished settings, lighting, gamemodes, better achievements. Easy #LinuxGaming with #Proton and in-house installer. Not to mention that the game is constantly maintained by Team #Eminoma.
I'm like a teenager again, so much fun playing #TeamFortress2 again, hahaha! :0080:
Last night I hopped back into streaming last night and it was amazing to see my community was still there for me after two months of a mental health break.
It was really touching, and last nights stream was a hangout and just update on what all had happened with my health and my dad’s grippy sock adventures.
I’m going to get back to my cybersecurity and Gaming on Linux content next stream. Just grabbed Helldivers 2 and Fallout 4!
Kids were playing Plants vs Zombies GW2. #EA rolled out some anti-cheat shit that works only on Windows I presume. It no longer works on #Linux, I cannot explain it to my kids why their game no longer works, although we paid for it. #GamingOnLinux#FuckEA#steam
So I wanted to give Fallout 2 a go on my media center PC. I was messing around with Wine and 32-bit vs 64-bit weirdness until I discovered Fallout 2 Community Edition which simply works on Linux flawlessly. It even supports Wayland if you specify SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland. I'm amazed at how many of these community driven source ports and reimplementations exist. I should make a website about these. :drgn_flat_happy:
I’ve said this previously: once Microsoft ends support for Windows 10, I’m switching to Pop!_OS.
My fear always was that a large portion of my game library would be unplayable. But Steam Deck has demonstrated that 95% of games—even games only made for Windows—are completely playable on Linux.
@atomicpoet I have been interested in Linux to help be a primary desktop OS, but gaming always stops me.
I have done long gaming on several games on Garuda Linux. It comes with a lot of tricks that the SteamDeck uses (also built off Arch Linux). The only reason I am not using as a main desktop OS right now is because I haven’t figured out how to do much with Xbox Game Pass and some of those integrations with other non steam games. #garuda#linux#gamingonlinux
I will try streaming again this week now that I’ve had time to recover and I will cover my estrangement with my bipolar father and my recent health scare that sent me to the hospital and then get back to Gaming on Linux and Cybersecurity content. #infosec#cybersecurity#twitch#tiktok#youtube#contentcreator#gamingonlinux#linux
In 2024, with many distributions having decided to end their 32-bit support, playing 2000s' proprietary games through #wine on Linux is suddenly not so straightforward anymore.
This vacation I had an opportunity to re-trace the steps and show how this is done again:
This one was about #GamingOnLinux! Our colleague @multics69 has been on a quest to remove stuttering from games, by going all the way down to the kernel process scheduler. He's been working on a new gaming-oriented scheduler that has potential to also improve other kinds of interactive workloads. And it's implemented in #eBPF 🤯
Czołem!
W 41. odcinku podcastu mam przyjemność gościć u siebie Pawła Kuzię (@pawelkuzia), z którym rozmawiamy o tym, czy da się, jak to zrobić i w ogóle, dlaczego warto grać w gry wideo na Linuksie!
