@deft @palordrolap

for the time it needs for some people to fix without income the issue of microsoft which has a huge amount of income an informed customer can maybe use some alternatives to have fun:

minecraft alternatives you can buy ( and are supported on linux )
- Hytale
- Vintage Story

opensource
- luanti ( formerly known as minetest )

So what i am saying is -> Maybe it's not linux but your decission and or argumentation which is the issue.

Imho: most of the things you say "don't rock well" are just an issue of you choosing products or product combinations which probably aren't value you as a user on linux ;) The people who value you as a user on linux are different.

I think Minecraft on Linux has been a bad choice for a while now -> My guess Microsoft would have killed the Java Version for Years if they could. They keep it alive because of Modding but not because of Linux. That oppinion is supported by the shown bug ...

There er multiple ways but yes they don't make it easy cause the want to make the attack vector aka ( a "friend" sent you a email with the "hottest new" firefox extension ) as small as possible.

Showing a important part of the website link. Step 3: Install an Unsigned .xpi (Advanced) #Unsigned XPIs require manual placement in your Firefox profile (and may need Firefox Developer Edition/Nightly). Enable Unsigned Extensions (If Needed): Open Firefox Developer Edition/Nightly. Navigate to about:config. Search for xpinstall.signatures.required and set it to false (double-click the preference). Warning: Disabling signature checks exposes you to security risks. Only install unsigned extensions from trusted sources.

@stinkytofuisgood @kalkulat Have ever someone thought that the bad results are a problem of the business model ?

Why should Open AI ( besides competition with others ) make the AI answering correct and with the minimal amount of tokens , if they get payed on token ?

I only just had this thought reading this post.

@octoham

i can't agree with this general statement. i guess it's important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.

just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
- Eldenring Nightreign
- Dark and Darker (used to work)
- Helldivers & Helldivers 2
- Arc Raiders
- Counter Strike
- Overwatch
- DOOM in very different versions
- Quake Live
- Hunt Showdown 1896
- Dead by Daylight
- Warframe

with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don't make general statements.

A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

@OrgunDonor

thanks for the answer. i remember there was a scene for sim racing at one point, but i am completly out of this one. Maybe @gamingonlinux has some ideas about racing.

@ipkpjersi @v0rld

I would still like to know which and why. Usually there are alternatives out even for those multiplayer games. Example -> all the Valve Games / Blizards Games are good too ;)

@ClydapusGotwald @1984
Can you give some more inside of what you game and specially why ?

@TheOakTree

IMHO it's not the speed. People are patient enough if the result is good. But lets be honest the context windows are damm small to handle local context.
Try to summarize things which are bigger than a email or a very small article.
Try to have a slightly bigger codebase...

And specially this "smaller" local llm's have a much more limited quality by default without additional informations provided.

We also don't wanna talk about the expected prices of DDR5 memory for modern CPU's. So even if you have a AI CPU from AMD or similar most of those PC's won't have 64+GB ram ->

Try of a bigger content window
QWEN3:4b with 256k ctx

@RepleteLocum @drmoose

The LLM's are not run on the gpu but rather on the cpu "AMD Ryzen AI 400" for the higher model and use therefor the system memory.

@Ulrich

I totally agree but not all users will see it the same way ;) You see how often people feel entitled to get some help :)

I would go even further -> if valve supports more hardware and opens up steamos for none business partners ( aka end users ) .. the press might pressure them into things they don't want.

@Ulrich @mnemonicmonkeys

Imho: It's a question of support ... all the named distribution are a community effort in support.

Valve can't and probably won't try to put themself in a situation where they "must" deliver support outside of well know hardware combinations.

@Septian @pet1t

My take is a little different. If people really want AI they should pay additional cost and AI should be a addon feature on your PC.

Additional Costs -> more powerful AI centered Chips ( as least as possible power consumption ) which can use much much more local fast memory ( imho 256 GB should be in the long term the minimum ).

That enables local AI's to be the solution for privacy and control of long term costs and i guess in 99% local AI's will do the job fine enough.

Sadly noone will be on our side cause they want to put AI Usage / PC Usage overall behind a monthly subscription in the long term.

Right now we are just as always in the phase of making people depending on a technology.
