sp6, do gaming w Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam?

I would check the linux gaming wiki’s distro recommendations: linux-gaming.kwindu.eu/index.php?title=Getting_st…

Mint is fine for daily use type stuff, but there are some odd gaming bugs. IIRC Cinnamon (Mint’s default desktop environment) specifically has higher input lag than Gnome or KDE, and Lutris dropped official Mint support due to issues from Mint’s tweaks.

I personally use Pop!_OS and it’s been pretty good, although I have been a little frustrated about the 22.04 base, as I’ve noticed some packages (like Mangohud and GOverlay) are very out of date. But aside from that, I have no complaints.

laurelraven,

I will say, personally, I’ve noticed some odd behaviors that seem to be related to Cinnamon… Overall very good experience but definitely considering changing because of those issues.

Which makes me sad since I’m really liking it otherwise

To Cinnamon? What did you experience, please?

laurelraven,

The two I can think of offhand:

Trying to get Rocksmith 2014 to work with my Real Tone Cable, which I did have working for a while. Using Pulse Audio, the audio works perfectly except the game doesn’t see the cable, I suspect because Pulse is processing it like a microphone. The fix is to set Proton to use Alsa for audio and set Pulse to disable that device so it is available to the game. Now, when I launch it, the audio is horribly corrupted and the input from the cable is all over the place. This isn’t caused by Cinnamon because it happens in KDE too.

The part I suspect is a Cinnamon issue is the graphics flash in and out when I do that, and not just the game. I have 3 monitors and it happens on all three of them. KDE does not do this.

The second issue may be related to the first: sometimes when a program exits from a bad state, the icon in the task bar remains and the only way to get rid of it is to relog. This happens every time I exit Rocksmith if I click the button to close while the screen is blanked or partially blanked, but it’s not the only program I’ve had this happen with. I’ve also had it happen on two different taskbar panel apps, the default one and one I’ll have to go hop on my computer to give you the name of, though when I switched the default taskbar had a couple dead icons and they didn’t appear on the new one until the next time.

I’m not on the LTS kernel that ships with Mint, I had to upgrade to the current branch to get my video working.

I’ve not done much troubleshooting on the second, and my troubleshooting on the first is focused on solving the audio problem as I think the graphical problem will at least not be triggered once that’s working right.

I’ve also had other issues I’m not sure if they’re Cinnamon related, Mint related, general Linux related, or hardware/driver related, but I’ve had issues with the screens not sleeping while the screen is locked, and on a laptop the system not sleeping while on battery. I know suspend is buggy, but I’ve had it work properly on the same system with MX Linux (dual booting).

Kory,

Thank you for elaborating!

grue, do games w The Sega Saturn

LTT just did a “console tier list” video with a bit on what went wrong with the Saturn.

I think one of the biggest problems was how Sega decided to split their market between the Saturn and the 32X. They should’ve focused their efforts on making one good console & games catalog instead of two mediocre ones.

Mario vs Rabbits is a surprisingly fun turn based tactics game. It’s something different gameplay wise from much of the switch library.

I saw someone mention Mario Odyssey. I hadn’t owned a Mario game since Mario 64, but I thought it was incredible! It’s just fun as all heck, and the surreal tone of the game kept me entertained. It has a bizarre mashup of “realistic” styles with the Mario universe. There isn’t co-op exactly, but one person can play as the hat, helping out. Just, don’t count it out because you aren’t hyped about Mario. It’s a quality game, and stands on its own merits.

I’d take the Steam account for my nephew unless it’s full of violent/weird games that his parents would disapprove of lol

He’s just getting into PCs (using his dad’s now) and will be inheriting mine when I upgrade in the fall.

It’s an awesome little device! You’ve got plenty of games to work through, but if you feel like trying a side loaded one, give my game Pogo Arc a try: thesambassador.itch.io/pogo-arc

Maerman,

Thanks! I’m sideloading it now. I’ll let you know what I think of it.

pfm, do wolnyinternet w w tym wątku op spłakuje się nad brakiem wsparcia API FinTS w polskich bankach

Jest jeszcze Open Banking, choć nie wiem jak działa dni czy jest dostępny dla użytkowników końcowych, czy tylko dla firm świadczących usługi.

BenchpressMuyDebil,

Z tego co zrozumiałem z linku z hackernews w innym komentarzu: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17718129 , to Open Banking został narzucony przez PSD2. FinTS i polski PolishAPI to specyfikacje API które są odpowiedzią na żądania narzucone przez Unię w PSD2 w ramach Open Banking.

PSD2 and “open” banking is bullshit. I wish this myth would die - it is anything but “open”. If you want to gain access to APIs, you need to become an “AISP” (as they are called in the UK), this requires a certification and a load of other nonsense akin to PCI-DSS. This is for read-only access - for “write” access including the ability to edit payees or make payments you need to become a “PISP” which I assume requires even more paperwork. I also said APIs because the regulation does not mandate any kind of API format, so every bank has their own with different capabilities as far as what data is returned and in which format. Some of them are truly awful. And finally, “open” banking still does not allow you to get a personal access token for your own account.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Loving this leisurely playthrough with O2 drain turned off. Just scrapping ships little by little and trying to do it just right.

Finished the main campaign in Midnight Suns. I maintain what I’ve said previously about the dialogue and characterizations bearing heavy MCU fanfic vibes. None of these versions of the characters qualify among my favorite iterations. But hot damn if it isn’t super well balanced, addicting, and fun to play. The 60 or so hours I spent on it went by like a breeze and I still dip in to raise my remaining friendship levels.

I tried out Sifu from PS Plus and am glad I hadn’t ever bought it. Seems like a super cool idea and good execution, but it felt a little like a fighting game with its button pressing combos (plus I hate combos where you have to flick the movement stick around). I also didn’t fancy the idea of having to worry about how old I was gettiing in the early levels and potentially have to play them over again just to lower my age for later level runs. Broke my threshold for punitive tedium.

Now I’m a few hours into Outward, and it’s promising so far. I’m loving the promise of the new stuff I can find and make, although I’m taking it super slow because the power dynamic is (intentionally) very intimidating.
