Because steam is fundamentally a package manager and you wouldn’t install a package manager from flatpak either.
You can find your solution for making steam work on an immutable distro if you want, but the fact of the matter is that using steam on flatpak is not recommended because it is famously broken.
I think they’ve now reached the level of attention they deserve and that means they can stop licking boots of large IP holders just to make games for them. Divinity original sin was bg3 before bg3, it just didn’t have a large license attached to it, and now they can make DOS3 and know that people will buy it because it’ll most likely be a great game
My thoughts exactly. It would be unreasonable to expect full support 14 years after it came out, and it would be unreasonable to expect modern apps to work flawlessly. But it’s not unreasonable to say that all the specs mentionned by the commenter can just be considered to all be 0 if the device cant run anything - not because it is physically incapable of it, but because we can’t even try.
Ok yeah it’s kind of funny but if you think about it for a second that ipad is perfectly functional. If apple doesn’t want to support it because it doesn’t make them money, then why can’t the community? Why does apple get to decide what is e-trash and what isn’t?
The laptop I bought second hand in 2014 is still very much functionnal, and in fact it still runs. I’ll concede that it doesn’t run well, as it was already unpowered back then, but it runs some flavors of Linux oriented towards low-power devices, because people made them to do specifically this. If I had bought a second had ipad instead, it would be in a landfill by now. It didn’t even take any special actions on toshiba’s part to make it behave like this, they just made a laptop that was up to the standards of every other laptop at the time. What I’m getting at is that this isn’t a new idea, we know how to take care of our devices for longer already, were it not for the apples and googles telling us what we can’t and can do on the device we own.
Don’t buy them new. They are like 500% markup from consumer cards for not much performance.
Try to get 2 year old ones, from businesses that sell them at the end of warranty (or liquidation sales). You’ll probably have to buy the whole tower with it but you can usually flip it.
That being said, have you tried passing your 3090 to a VM and the VM has the new drivers for it? You would get poor graphical output performance but compute is compute.
Also: quattro cards usually only have displayport, or even mDP. Be mindful of any adapters you may need.
Pretty sure this is a bug in either discover or flatpak. My guess is flatpak has the 2 versions it feeds discover swapped, so the versions appear swapped, but in reality it will be fine
Game servers are incredibly expensive, and server side anticheat is more costs.
Whether or not the studios can afford it (they can.) is irrelevant, it’s simply cheaper to go for flawed client side because the client will do most of the processing.
Any software developer worth their salt simply does not trust the client, but management is gonna manage and the engineers have to come up with a solution to “we must have anticheat because we said so, and you must keep server costs per user below x”. It’s easy to forget that most implementation choices in video games aren’t made by developers who like games, they’re made by middle managers who view games as a money-generaring industry.
How are they not the same? Israel is by definition oppressive to Palestine, as it is a colonizer state created by pure legal fiction by the west after WW2. This is doxumented, there are documents about the founding of Israel as “give them part of Palestine, of course the locals won’t be happy but we’ve been colonizing for 4 centuries we know how to do this”
Hamas was previously asking for a ceasefire in exchange for the release of all the hostages they held, for what that’s worth. Surely this deal is asking for, at worst for them, that.
Well, especially considering he has the leverage to just go “you stop that now or no more arms” and Israel would have no choice but stop that instant, “trying to negotiate a deal” is a particularly weak choice of words.
Learnt nothing, in french you would say “Sacre Bleu”, lit. “Blue [the act of consecrating]”.
Blue was the colour of Saint Martin, so instead of swearing on god, you would swear on the canonisation of st. Martin, in a manner removed from the actual thing. Only English speakers use “sacré bleu” as a vaguely-french sounding thing.
Saying sacré [person] makes sense somewhat, but you would use it like “there’s my boy, way to go!”, not as a “holy shit” exclamation.
