@npub1wst…ez75 Have you considered installing Resolve on Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux?
Those distros are officially supported by Blackmagic.

You could also try Syncthing by the way.

@npub1wst…ez75 I'd be willing to help out but I've never used Resolve in the first place, so I doubt I would be very useful.

@npub1wst…ez75 If you're fine with static sites, I recommend using Publii. It's like Hugo and Jekyll, but much easier to set up and use.

@npub1wst…ez75 Isn't Epic Games rather trying to distribute their stuff using their own app store rather than rely on Apple and Google? The issue seems to be that Android and iOS are pretty locked down though.

@npub1v6q…uwde Will there still be support for installing a GOG game using its offline installer? Heroic does allow you to use offline installers but it doesn't recognize it as a "GOG game".

@npub1zpu…qh6x I really think Proton, as a service, is great but their Linux support has always been subpar.
Case in point: the desktop mail client is still in Beta and the VPN client is still really barebones with significant missing features.

@npub1sg4…xslc I don't think this paints an entirely accurate picture.
While it's true that modern hardware can easily render photorealistic graphics, there are other factors like more complex AI and VR which could potentially contribute to pushing forward the baseline.

@npub1v6q…uwde @npub1tvq…l6jk Just created another pull request for reducing the font size since probably no one will read the disclaimer if it looks like a wall of text.

@npub1v6q…uwde @npub1tvq…l6jk Thanks for merging my pull request.
I hope I did a good enough job making it more professional, though.

@npub1v6q…uwde @npub1tvq…l6jk Do you mind if I give it a shot? Just tell me which files to edit. I am not awfully familiar with Django.

- reply

@npub1v6q…uwde @npub1tvq…l6jk That's fine, but there are a quite a few users who also play and like those games very much.
This kind of messaging will only push them away from using Lutris and even Linux as a whole. After all, the goal is to help users make an informed choice and not antagonize them.

2024-01-22 18:10:37

Okay. Now, this is pretty neat.

I know @npub1v6q…uwde has also been looking to modernize the Lutris Runtime, so this will be a significant step forward.
Hopefully, this will also fix the issues with using Gamescope alongside the Lutris Runtime.

@npub1v6q…uwde @npub1xea…6nah Although I understand what you are trying to tell, I think most people who see the disclaimer would still interpret it as an endorsement.
I urge you to reconsider removing that link.

@npub1v6q…uwde I agree with @npub1ets…ey4e
I don't think it's particularly wise, especially since you have provided a direct link to unknowncheats.me in the disclaimer on lutris.net.
I'd suggest at the very least to remove the hyperlink.

@npub1v6q…uwde How many is "too many"?
I am currently using system commands alongside input_menu to allow the user to choose specific actions (like skipping intro videos).
Also, will the warning appear on Lutris itself?

@npub1v6q…uwde @npub1rcq…r6p8 It probably wouldn't be a good thing for Valve's bottom line, though.

2023-11-12 16:41:27

- reply

@npub1v6q…uwde I see. It would be great if the Lutris Runtime adopts a similar approach as well then.
Anyway, I was wondering if Lutris supports downloading DLCs from GOG alongside the base game in the same script. "requires" and "extends" seem tailored for separate installations.
I am not sure if this can be done, but is it possible to have a menu for picking DLCs — like with "Extras"? I looked at "input_menu" but it's a drop-down menu.

@npub1v6q…uwde If I remember right, isn't the Lutris Runtime based on the Steam Runtime? Why is it so outdated? 🤔

2023-11-12 00:47:45

- reply

@npub1v6q…uwde Of course. Is it better if I report this on GitHub, though?

2023-11-12 00:45:01

- reply

@npub1v6q…uwde By the way, running a game with Gamescope and the Lutris Runtime enabled seems to make the game crash.
Is this expected behaviour? 🤔

@npub1v6q…uwde Thanks. 😃
Although I am using the Lutris Flatpak, I found the folder you mentioned under "~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/config/lutris".
