As in you are seeing multiple boot entries? It’s likely one entry per kernel version that you have installed. It doesn’t happen often these days any more, but in some situations it’s handy to be able to revert to a previous kernel if for example third party modules break.

What kinds of games might you recommend with deep worldbuilding and interaction that aren't RPGs?

I like worldbuilding and stories, and I like when they're mixed with the interactivity of games, so RPGs seem like they should be a natural fit. Problem is, I dislike the stat-heavy, grindy progression of many RPGs.

I enjoy point & click adventures and visual novels but they're often more limited in their interactions. What kinds of game might I be missing combining the two?

Some of the classic RTS games perhaps, like C&C or Starcraft? They tend to be story driven and the most stats you tend to care about are “do I have enough resources” and “do I have enough units?”

Just because it has a CVE number doesn’t mean it’s exploitable. Of the 800 CVEs, which ones are in the KEV catalogue? What are the attack vectors? What mitigations are available?

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

The fact that you think it’s not possible means that you’re not familiar with CVSS scores, which every CVE includes and which are widely used in regulated fields.

And if you think that always updating to the latest version keeps you safe then you’ve forgotten about the recent xz backdoor.

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t know where you got the idea that I’m arguing that old versions don’t get new vulnerabilities. I’m saying that just because a CVE exists it does not necessarily make a system immediately vulnerable, because many CVEs rely on theoretical scenarios or specific attack vectors that are not exploitable in a hardened system or that have limited impact.

You can blame Google for that. Their algorithm is built in a way that any page that doesn’t follow a certain format just won’t rank high, and that format doesn’t fit “just the recipe” pages.

What this actually shows is how much previous governments fucked up and how desperate and angry the Argentine people were that this clown started to look like a good idea. To those with an outside perspective it was always obvious that this would only end badly, but to them it was an “any port in a storm” situation.

Anyone been daily driving Bazzite?

Been keeping a keen eye on Bazzite as it seems like a good distro for people like myself who mainly use the desktop pc to play games on. But it doesn’t seem like a “typical” distro for a daily driver? How does Bazzite for example differ from Nobara which is another gaming-oriented distro? I’m just curious as I keep...

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

Bazzite is a good HTPC or living room gaming distro. It is not an ideal all purpose desktop distro, just like a Steam Deck is not an ideal all purpose desktop system.

If you want a Bazzite-like experience that is better suited for the desktop then use Fedora Silverblue, which is what Bazzite/ublue builds upon.

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

Bazzite, as a gaming-first distribution, makes some choices that are acceptable for such a platform, but that I believe are unacceptable in a secure development environment. This is why I wrote “not ideal” instead of “bad”. If you don’t care about security then it’s perfectly cromulent. But I value security, so I would not recommend it.

Note that Wasabi has no egress fees, but has a transfer limit - essentially the contract stipulates that your monthly egress will be less than the amount of storage you pay for.

VMWare black screen after installing all updates with Fedora Linux

So I’m trying to play around with Fedora in a VM with VMWare Workstation Player (v17.5.1) but I’m running into a problem I don’t know how to solve. I use the Fedora 39 1.5 ISO file which is the most current version that’s available for download and after installing it in the VM everything works fine. I setup the install...

Your other options are Virtual Box by Oracle or head down the Xen path.

Or, since OP is on Linux, a native KVM option like virt-manager or boxes.

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

My mistake. I read your post as you using VMWare Workstation on Fedora, not the other way around.

The Witcher 3 has some really emotional scenes, and an immersive soundtrack.

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

The game takes a while to warm up the plot. It picks up with the Baron quests, and the big emotional parts come out full steam towards the last third of the story.

If you manage to finish it, replay it with different choices. Some of the character reactions can be really endearing, others can be terribly heartbreaking.

Both expansions also have excellent stories, one with a Faustian plot, the other with dark stories in a fairy tale veneer.

I would suggest you try to make it as far as the botchling quest. If you still don’t care for it after that then I’ll concede that it’s not your style of game.

Bugs? No, works as intended. But you might want to consider a clipboard manager instead, so that you can sync the clipboard to the selection buffer and vice versa.

Gpaste can do it. The out of the box experience is a bit hit and miss, but it’s plenty configurable and reliable once set up to your liking.

lemmyng,
@lemmyng@lemmy.ca avatar

Up until last year I would have said Ubuntu. It was qualitatively the best desktop choice when I started with it in the aughts, and is still one of the few distros that has a reasonable out of the box install option with LVM. But I recently tried a Silverblue variant and NixOS, and I like what I see. Once I’m comfortable enough I will switch, I’m tired of the ensnapification and the Pro nag screens.

The biggest downside is that it’s only for distributing applications with a graphical user interface. Command line utilities still need another method of distribution.

Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...
