    I like your question but you should formulated better, that’s why it’s getting downvoted.

    Short Answer: No, it’s not a flop. Long answer: Many have given the meaning of a flop so I will not repeat. What you want to know it seems is if ERN succeeded as a multiplayer and I get the feeling you are comparing it to FPS, but they have very different markets. ERN made good money and satisfied the Soul-Like gamers Multiplayer addiction. Elden Ring is also not massive when compared to Counter Strike but in proportion ERN is very successful. The learning curve for the Souls-Like games is usually also a detractor for many.





  • There are many ways to do it, I have never used Steam like that but never heard of a ban due to cracked games. My preferred way would be using Lutris, but I have not used it in a while.

    The general concept is:

    1. Create a container/app in Lutris, selecting your Wine preferred version.
    2. Open the container (so that it creates the directory files)
    3. Copy the contents of the game into the container
    4. Point the Lutris container to the exe and done.
    5. Run game

    These steps are not precise but the general overview. You can even switch Wine versions if needed without the need to reinstall.



  • Its been a while since I used lightdm but you need to check what greeter you have installed. I used to have a fancy webkit greeter which was animated but I digress.

    About the touchpad, the session managers are their own session, so you need to configure it for the session itself. Do check the Arch wiki for configuration hints.




  • The Steam Deck was the way of bringing SteamOS to the masses, now the HW developers will sell their devices in Walmart just by the Switch and the other consoles, it will be cheaper due to the 0 license cost (or, you know, pocketing the difference) with a big, ever expanding, catalog.

    About the Switch 2, the hype is there definitely and it is a known brand, mainly sold to families and casual gamers. But even PlayStation and Xbox are not competing with Nintendo.


  • Yes but that’s it right, they are not developing for Linux, Steam is doing it for the developer. There is nothing stopping Windows of saying sell exclusively through my Store, though I believe they have tried.

    But I do understand were you are coming from Windows is definitely not the most ethical company and definitely they are not up for fair fight, what I’m trying to say is that I hope the game developers focus more in the mobile market and optimize the games more.








  • Today’s judgement confirms the Belgian Data Protection Authority’s 2022 decision. It applies immediately across Europe.

    Dr Ryan of Enforce said “This decision is momentous. It creates a clear need for industry to innovate and move away from the dangerous, ineffective, and fraud-riddled racking-based advertising. RTB can operate without personal data. This decision shows that it must. This good news for every person online, and for publishers, too.”

    That is entirely subjective but I would say some still prefer CRT and Analog video, which these retro consoles also provide. There are also some benefits for it like no lag and better graphics due to the natural blurring of the CRT but at the cost of space and screen size. CRTs are bulky.
