Agreed, and ambarassing as well hahaha

You’re right, I have bird memory and when I looked on steam the wrong one popped up, adding g to my confusion. Thanks for the heads up, I corrected my comment.

Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded Erenshor. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don’t even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and click baity. The game looks fun though, so I’ll go out of my way and actively search for Enshrouded Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.

Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!

That’s nice to know, but I was more thinking about phone apps.
It’s harder the be sure that what was uploaded - to let’s say Google Store - is not “tweaked” …

BeOS is best OS ^^

This is so cool!

And it seems to ge written with a fountain pen. The times where people could write properly, beautifully, and made things to last.

I kind of regret being born in such a wasting consumption focused society…

It’s nice to use FOSS as much as possible, but in reality, is the source in the binary exactly the same as in the repo? Unless you compile yourself, you still don’t know what you get.

The fact that people get influenced on FB is a head scratcher to begin with…

It was on Netflix Japan last time I saw it.

I don’t exactly remember, but I know that I had the launcher running for the first times, and in it, I disabled it so the game launches right away.

One thing I had in a different game, was a edge process (certainly to fetch news or something) that failed and that was the process I had to kill so I could see the launcher.
I use btop in the terminal to show processes and I filter with the approximate name of the process I want.
If you don’t know the executable name, you can filter steam and it’ll show steam and the sub-processes that are running.
From there, you can simply select edgeUpdate ( I think that was that) or DirectXInstall (both used to cause me problem when launching games for the first time) and use the kill button and see if the game launches.

We leave in Japan, and my wife had that popup once already (using Brave on Win10 - surface laptop)

I think I recall having issues with Proton Experimental.
I think I am using the last stable Proton 8.something.
Tried the last GE-Proton as well but also had some issues.

Another thing, I think during the first launch, some Directx installs did fail or took long and I killed the processes.
Though, the game always started fine for me, and I disabled the Launcher at the first occasion, now all is good.

Also, I had some other issues with Steam lately, and I tried the Beta version of the client, all my issues are fixed, you could try that as well.

I submitted a ticket to Steam about some issues I had with their client, and they told be those were addressed in the Beta version.
And all my small issues I had are gone! So I can use Steam with XFCE without issue right now.
Pretty happy, really.

I am switching to XFCE to see how it goes, the fact it is lighter on resources than Gnome is a big plus ;)

shared by humans is not the same as crawled by bots…

A lot of input in the comments, I’ll just add mine in the mix.
I guess wanting to change the OS for someone can be good if:

• the current Windows version is EOL and/or has security issues/concerns,
• the hardware is too old to upgrade,
• the current user is fed up with crashes, popups, slowliness etc…

Now, I would go for Mint anyday instead of Ubuntu, because the default matte desktop feels more confortable when coming from windows.

As for Scrivener, I don’t even know what it is, but Wine is quite good recently, so if you’re tech/linux savy, you could try to make it work.

I tried during the week-end, and it’s a confortable and light experience.

But Steam (I game a lot on my computer) doesn’t work well, it stops showing the store page (it gets all black) when I change the virtual desktop.
I then have to display my library then click again on the store to see the content again.
Very annoying.
If it was not for that bug, I might have switched permanently.

I kept it installed and will retry from time to time if the Steam issue goes away.

I liked the idea to be honest. I can just call the entry “description” instead and all is good ^^

I used to love XFCE many years ago, and will try to set it up again this WE.

This is actually pretty genius, why haven’t ever thought of that?
