The only thing I'd like is fact-checking itself, which is impossible considering how they work (it basically guesses everything). LLMs are close to being useful but I find most of the time they're not usable because it keeps spouting wrong info.
Your Inception is a great choice, but I also low-key wished pizza tower's music got in to meme on the other instances
Not sure, I'll look into it when the launcher is feature-complete. I never tried making a Flatpak app before.
A mod launcher is a program that lets you set up and configure mods for a game, then launch the game with everything set up for you. They exist because configuring everything yourself can be a real pain.
Not a game necessarily, but I decided two days ago to make my own mod launcher for Doom (specifically, GZDoom). I got fed up with the ones that currently exist that lack features I want (not to mention being really old).
UI and theming are definitely not finished, but I'm really happy with how it's shaping up. Made in Godot, as is usual for me.
Ideally only one post would be made, no crossposts. One pancake post would be on your feed, and that same post would be visible from other communities
I'm almost finished with my project to create a fake operating system interface in the Godot game engine: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@popcar2/111687770509176140
I can't wait to finally put it out there for people to use, but part of me is also thinking I can't wait until I can finally move on with my life and work on other projects lol.
Not yet, no.
Whoops. I forgot to mention this. I'll add a little section for it later...
Go to Steam settings --> Storage. There you can add your 2nd Steam folder and be able to move games back and forth. You can select many games and click "Move".
According to what I’ve read about and experienced, using compatibility layers such as Wine and Proton can give you a wide variety of results, depending on the game.
I agree with this but I generally find that performance is a bit worse, so I'm just setting expectations. One thing Proton does offer is pre-caching shaders which can help games not stutter compared to Windows, so you might get way less stutters even if your FPS is a bit worse than Windows.
I’ve had so much success with Proton in Heroic Games Launcher
You definitely can use Proton with Heroic but you generally shouldn't need to. Wine-GE's performance is very comparable to Proton and usually Proton can cause issues when ran outside of Steam, which is why it isn't recommended to do so and why all these launchers prefer Wine-GE. I tried to make the guide as simple as possible, so I decide to list the best option rather than a list of options.
There are distros designed for gaming that come with lots of stuff already packaged with the installation.
Definitely. I actually do use Nobara which you might tell from one of the screenshots' background. I might do another post on distro choice but I felt like it's a big topic that can get too opinionated, especially with recent Fedora controversies. I didn't want to recommend Nobara only to have a lot of "Well, actually..." comments.
Maybe add something about Steam and its offerings of native Linux games.
I thought about it but didn't feel like it warranted talking about. If there's a native Linux version, you'd hit install and it should work. It didn't really need elaborating so I decided to focus on the things people can need help with.
Great job and thank you!
And thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for the kind words :)
If you're playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.
If anyone here games a lot, I'd recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).
