Scio

Probably wouldn't've thought that when it came out, but I kinda really like OS/2 as a name. Had a very Serial Experiments Lain ring to it.

...Certainly a lot cooler than OSX.

If an APU counts, pretty much everything these days. The Steam Deck, even with its now "old" APU just keeps on steaming ahead!

Caveats: HD or lower. Sometimes at 30fps for big fancy AAA games.

Why would anyone do this to themselves. Even Mac people buy custom keyboards themselves for a reason!

That said, I use the Mac "cmd" symbol instead of the "Windows" symbol for my super key (a la Elementary) on my cheap but lovely Keychron K2 Pro. It just looks better 😁!

Bazzite! Especially if you don't want to tinker with the system too much.

Edit: regarding security/stability; Bazzite is an unofficial member of the Fedora Immutable (erstwhile Silverblue) family. It stays in lockstep with their release cycle and the RPM OStree, so the actual "system" part is pretty much the same.

Divinity: Original Sin 2? I suppose it looks a little bit gorey too, but nowhere near that high definition. Definitely no squirmers...

I'm thoroughly addicted to the demo, still. Was kinda hoping it was a tiny bit cheaper...

I want everything about this

Oh my, I suddenly fell two decades younger after installing this 😚

I only just heard about ULWGL from a nice Threadiverser a couple of days ago, and now TIL!

Tl;Dr: Proton GE has extra game specific performance and compatibility patches that Proton doesn't target for whatever reason.

Too long but I typed it out so might as well post it anyway: This is how I understand it goes like—

Now, we know Proton: a Valve-maintained fork of the venerable Wine project with many many gaming and game specific patches, made for Steam.

Proton can be used outside of Steam, of course, but it isn't really designed to be, there be quirks. Plus, Valve maintains what goes into Proton, so if anyone really wants to play a certain Windows game that doesn't quite run well enough on Proton and put in the work needed to make the necessary changes, it's probably not getting added to Proton just yet (I frankly don't know how or whether Valve accepts PRs at all). And Wine does not really want game specific patches in the runtime. Wine wants to be as generally compatible as possible.

That's why most Proton variants exist. A certain Glorious Eggroll maintains this one, which has quite a few patches for games that aren't targeted by Proton either at all or well enough, as well as making sure it can run outside of Steam (there are other variants of the patches for vanilla Wine or for use in Lutris as well, I think?)

I was kinda warming up to the totally unintended slightly inconsistent mineral based naming scheme tbh. But then, hadn't fully...
