Linux Gamer Life

It’s not perfect, but it’s mine 😊😎youtube.com/shorts/hBxzWUn…

@Pirat_Nation They could build the exact same storefront as Steam and it still would not be for me. Epic would fundamentally need to change their philosophy to focus on the customer and customer value. I do not see that happening as they are developer first.

Epic Games has hired Martin Keely, former head of Blizzard’s Battlenet, to lead the Epic Games Store and compete against Steam Keely spent seven years overseeing Battlenet and will improve Epic’s PC storefront while developing new features for players, creators and developers. Despite free games and exclusives trying to attract users, many players believe the Epic Games Store still sucks compared with Steam’s features and experience.

@PtysSbs @DimpleAroro23s 👍

@DimpleAroro23s Depends on what you are doing and your beliefs. Closed or free and open. Drm is an evil beast but I get it after becoming a business owner. Investors are annoying

In your opinion, what is the best web browser for Linux???

@DimpleAroro23s Brave sucks. It’s like Edge when onboarding. Makes too many decisions for you and I’d have to pay for it depending on the system I use. Feck that bullshit

@Radhika__009 youtube.com/shorts/f9253av… Pacman vs DNF 😂

Tell me any os better than Arch Linux I'll wait !!!

@elonmusk please can you solve the ram crisis. Thanks in advance 🙏👍🏻

Non vibe coded abandonware has always been a problem, I guess the issue is more one of volume. I have 8 vibe coded apps that I personally use for my own needs. They fill a gap that was missing in my workflow. I could not give two shits that flathub or codeberg won’t take my apps. Plenty of other options out there for me. I do feel for the real devs though. Like you say, penalising them for AI assisted code is not ideal and overkill in my eyes. Will definitely be interesting to see where Debian takes it. 🤔

Debian is voting on AI contributions. Codeberg banned vibe-coded projects entirely. Flathub already said no to AI generated apps. But blanket ban is not a solution...and to be honest, you cannot reliably detect AI-written code. And more importantly, almost every developer working these days is using AI assistance in some form. GitHub Copilot. Cursor. Claude. Codex. They use it to autocomplete functions, generate boilerplates, debug tricky logic, write tests. Does that make their code AI-generated? Or human-written with AI tools? The real problem Flathub and Codeberg are trying to solve is quality. Apps with no real functionality that add little value. And then the "vibe coded and abandoned" pattern that floods platforms with "abandonware" apps. That is a legitimate concern. But conflating it with "AI assistance" is going to create policies that punish thoughtful developers using AI responsibly, while doing nothing to stop bad actors who will just lie about it anyway. Debian's vote matters because it may set a precdence. The worst outcome is one that treats every developer who uses AI-assistance as a rule-breaker. So, where should we draw the line?

@playerdotgg @timetakersgg @TrineSeries @StokeGamesInc @LoftySkyGames @ElementGamesDev @lunoland Thanks, I will do 👍🏻

Valid frustration. Playtest access is handled by each game's developers, and many have limited spots or approve participants over time. Regardless, we appreciate you signing up (and we hope you'll stick around and get into a future test). Keep an eye on your email and Steam notifications as developers sometimes roll out additional invites later

At least it works on Linux, right? youtube.com/watch?v=AB9jKI…

@LuclinFTW Loving your project dude. Will you be ensuring it works via Proton? It should run out of the box as most UE5 games do, just wanted to double check before I get too excited 🙏 PS: Happy to platest it on Linux when ready if that is something you are interested in. hmu

@_Saretz @Dexerto You're not the target audience.

@Dexerto Why would I pay premium for an underperforming Steam Machine when Steam OS can be downloaded and used for free? (if I really wanted to)

Linus Tech Tips says the Steam Machine might be the best desktop PC he's ever used thanks to SteamOS "The year of the Linux desktop is 2026, and the Steam Machine is leading the charge"

@StringHemu Chromium, where you get to make the decisions!

Hey devs , which is the best browser in 2026? -Brave -Google Chrome -Edge -Firefox -Opera

@kaaaash____ 🧌

Windows is literally 10x better than Linux. People just don't want to admit it.

@nalinrajput23 Having been a system admin, using windows for 30+ years, and switching to Linux 16 months ago, I can confidently agree with you! Not only that, for 90% of standard users, linux would be fine.

Switching to Linux was one of the best decision of my life

@Taniyatweets_ Who installs Chrome? I switched from Firefox to Zen and now to a customised Chromuim (as I want to make the decisions about what my browser does), but I would never install Chome. Who even does that? 😂

What’s even the point of switching to Linux if Chrome is still the first thing you install?

@timetakersgg Please enable your anti-cheat to run on proton. Thanks in advance 👍

@gnukeith Noctalia is fantastic and the team are doing a great job. I put this together which might help a little. Just a short how I rice with Noctalia vid. youtu.be/1WzVzZgEgic

Thank you guys for recommending me Noctalia. I decided to go with Noctalia 5 (which is in beta) and it looks awesome! I am using (I'm pretty sure) the default config right now. I'm learning how to customize it without breaking stuff, but I have things backed up just in case.

@laubzega @uwukko As a new Linux coming from windows, I could not give two shits!

@linuxgamerlife @uwukko It's a "breath of fresh air" because some people did care about things. I am afraid "not giving two shits" does not sound like something they would say.

why do people hate systemd

@ariadna_meow @uwukko That's fine by me 👍

@linuxgamerlife @uwukko “It works well” - that’s only true if you compare it to the windows equivalent, which is a very low bar XD
