As long as WoW64 is not ready for primetime, I agree.

If Fedora drops support for 32bit packages, Steam, Proton, and more will no longer work, and all Fedora derivatives become useless for gaming.

That is until Valve make the Linux Steam client proper 64-bit (which hopefully will happen sooner than later), and Wine/Proton don’t have to depend on 32-bit/multilib at the Linux host level, that’s what the WoW64 subsystem is for.

That will definitely break Linux-native 32-bit games though.

I dunno, the concept of an immutable OS is definitely interesting, and I don’t believe Arch or Ubuntu currently offer that.

Seems like a good reason for the Wine / Proton WoW64 subsystem to improve.

AFAIK, you couldn’t run 16-bit software on native Windows x64, so Wine is exhibiting the same behavior.

Anyway, these 16-bit softwares are old enough that running them in DOSBox or something like that won’t show any significant performance penalty through emulation vs translation.

I thought the Steam Linux client was already native 64-bit?
If not, maybe this is the kind of push needed to get them to actually go full 64-bit?

Added to my wishlist, thanks :)

Thanks for this. I was already using Inoreader (with a Supporter subscription) and they made it easy to grab my Pocket content.

Now the only thing I need to figure out is what I’ll do as a replacement to the Kobo + Pocket integration.

Some workplaces disable the ability to enroll TOTP codes and forces the use of MS Authenticator.

Once you detach your mind from the big publishers and start looking at small indie devs, there are truly astonishing games out there that could run on potatoes.

My good old RX 480 will last me for a while longer.

Would you mind tagging the post with the appropriate language?

It also stripped the webpage to make it readable and mostly distraction-free, plus some services will also include tag suggestions to more easily find it later.

I used Pocket on my Kobo to read articles I saved, much easier to focus on the content and easy on the eyes with the eInk display.

I use Inoreader as my RSS feed reader and it has a section to save webpages in a similar fashion.

It shifts the wavelength into the visible range, it doesn’t grant you the ability to see new “colors”. It’s more like a translation into a color you already know.

On the other hand, it makes it easy to find which apps aren’t to be trusted with your data.
