@Chais @n3cr0 how do you replicate that with pipewire anyway? Sure, you can rig up the nodes and all, but are games actually outputting surround nowadays, or how do you benefit from all that work?

@XenoStare @ZariZari this doesn't make us evil, nor does it make valve good, they did it because they didn't want to pay for windows licenses for all the steam decks they produce, simple as that, we're collateral benefit. Not using entirely free software isn't evil. Every moment we accuse one another of not being supporting enough, idealistic enough, etc, gives the monopolies an advantage because we're squabeling pointlessly. This is what the pollitical left wing should understand as well.

@Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever @V0lD personally, I use systemd timers, in combination with the btrfs tooling to backup certain snapshots of my filesystem, which include game saves. I can't use steam because it's entirely screenreader inaccessible, so I play stuff with retroarch and other emulators, plus the occasional audiogame in wine, and very rarely, native ones, those are so rare.

@Tersevs awesome, thanks for the explanation! I wanted something like this for a long while, especially since I usually game in weird places which are far from the computer. Also, I looked on flathub, and both apps are on there, even the server. Why would run the server as a flatpak, I don't know, but I know it's there, so yeah, gonna try this now.

@Tersevs can you detail the process a bit? where goes what component?

@popcar2 yes, the ntfs problem hit me as well, as I previously commented on other occasions. Also, I didn't think that intel mobile integrated gpu's wouldn't be recognised by opengl or vulkan, but that's how it goes apparently

@theshatterstone54 @dvdnet90 yeah, those kinds of games are always reported to have issues for whatever reason

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut what do you mean? you can use different wine prefixes for different applications, so I don't quite get it. Also, outside bottles, I'm not sure you can run wine in flatpak

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut yeah, I don't think that the system wide dotnet will work under wine with the windows dependencies programs want, but yeah, if it does that'll be awesome

@JasSmith @miggs597 @F04118F @bionade24 lol, that's completely hilarious imo. Still though, that bug is definitely weird, I never got it my self on ubuntu or any of its derivatives. Is it only a pop OS issue then?

@bionade24 @miggs597 @F04118F @JasSmith I'm a bit out of the loop here, but what was the bug actually? Did he do this on livestream?

@setInner234 @deong yes, uninstall gtk-desktop-portal-gnome if you aren't using the gnome desktop, same for the kde variant if you aren't using kde. The gtk portal is most generic, it's supposed to be for any setup which doesn't have its own portals like many, or those who only have the minimum required, those which have something to do with compositor support, for example wlroots based setups. If your desktop has a portal backend, don't use the gtk one as you may be missing in functionality, arch devs should make more specific portal backend packages conflict with the generic gtk one, but o well.
