whoops, edited my other comment since I hadn’t noticed your reply yet.
Can you share the launch options you’re using to set PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, as well as verify the the crash gives the same error?
I found a few examples of the variable not working correctly for people. Could you share your proton version and the logs?
Oh my bad, I misread the first line. In that case, I would guess that Proton on Steam might be using a different version of the DirectX translation layer. I’m not sure which that is, since im not sure which directx version the game uses.
Very interesting that at least one person reported the same error happening on Windows.
Edit: My guess is that wine is using WINED3D, the directx 9 to opengl translation layer, while proton is using DXVK. Since the game reportedly has this error on windows, the issue might actually be that DXVK is doing the “correct” thing and crashing the same way it would on windows.
Did you verify that PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 crashes with the exact same error and not a new one? Since you said the game works with vanilla wine, which defaults to wined3d, I would expect this to fix it.
Steam uses the Steam runtime and can automatically apply specific settings and configurations known as Protonfixes.
Try using Proton in Lutris and enabling the Steam runtime. Lutris has support for a tool called Umu Launcher which essentially replicates Steams method of launching games and applies Protonfixes for you. I don’t know the exact requirements to use it, but looking around in the discord (unfortunately) might get you some info.
It has 9k contributors and 20k stars. Just because you havent heard of it doesnt mean nobody has.
Also Guix is doing the exact same thing.
Desktop packages haven’t even been a part of the Nix repos for 10 years.
Yes they have? Why are you just making shit up.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/15.09-beta/pkgs/desktops/plasma-5.3
Thats just not true. Nix and NixOS are not the same thing. Nix is meant for CI/CD. NixOS is an OS designed for both desktop and server use. Why would there even be so many desktop environments and desktop software packages if it wasnt designed to be used on a desktop?
I’ve never minded micro transactions, as long as they’re cosmetic and dont exist in a full AAA priced game, and Valves are neither.
I’m always split on Valve here. I’m not entirely against gambling, I enjoy it in moderation. I do think children should be prevented from partaking in it, but I also dont want to have to verify my government ID to be able to buy and open cases.
Xonsh is also a really cool option. If I used Python more regularly and was more comfortable using it without having to look stuff up, I’d probably use it over Nushell.
I love Nushell, it’s so much more pleasant for writing scripts IMO. I know some people say they’d just use Python if they need more than what a POSIX shell offers, but I think Nushell is a perfect option in between.
With a Nushell scripts you get types, structured data, and useful commands for working with them, while still being able to easily execute and pipe external commands. I’ve only ever had two very minor gripes with Nushell, the inability to detach a process, and the lack of a -l flag for cp. Now that uutils supports the -l flag, Nushell support is a WIP, and I realized systemd-run is a better option than just detaching processes when SSHd into a server.
I know another criticism is that it doesn’t work well with external cli tools, but I’ve honestly never had an issue with any. A ton of CLI tools support JSON output, which can be piped into from json to make working with it in Nushell very easy. Simpler tools often just output a basic table, which can be piped into detect columns to automatically turn it into a Nushell table. Sometimes strange formatting will make this a little weird, but fixing that formatting with some string manipulation (which Nushell also makes very easy) is usually still easier than trying to parse it in Bash.
No problem! In case you havent found it already, the packages and options are available to search here: https://search.nixos.org/packages
You need to add the package for your preferred editor to your configuration.nix and rebuild your system
The browser isnt paid though. https://help.kagi.com/orion/faq/faq.html#business
I agree the $5 a month option is pretty useless, but I also think $10 is completely reasonable for everything you get.
Also even if it was paid why would it have issues with a package manager? Paid software generally just uses an account or license key to verify payment, with the executable being frwely available. JetBrains and Burp Suite are two software that come to mind and both are in many repositories.
Edit: To be clear, the browser will only be for Kagi and Orion+ members during the testing phase, likely just to control the size of the testing group. After that it will be free.
They’ve been open sourcing parts of it the entire time. Looks to me like they’re doing what they said.
You can easily monitor network connections to see what addresses its sending packets to. You can’t collect information without sending it somewhere. Run Firefox through a proxy, and you’ll see it is far from private. The source code will show you what they’re sending, but nothing about what they’re doing with it after it’s received.
Open source =/= private. Chromium and Firefox are open source, and both have horrible privacy defaults. I have far more trust in Kagi than Mozilla or Google. There are many ways to verify privacy than other than reading the source code.
Besides, they have shared that they plan to open source the browser once the project is ready, and some components are already open source. Making a project open-source is a much bigger task than people realize. While community contributions may take some maintenance load off of your staff, they now become responsible for much more external code review, which requires more scrutiny due to coming from outside sources.
I mean, I’d imagine the goal is to avoid being mediocre.
If Orion fully supports the Firefox extensions I use and is as privacy respecting as I expect, I’ll likely switch to it as soon as I can. I’m sick of Firefox prioritizing features very few people want.
I did not say he said something transphobic, reread my message. I said he was banned for the transphobia in his discord, the community space that he runs and is responsible for, especially in the case of actions by other mods.
My bad on the date, but I really dont think it being 3 years ago makes a big difference. He was still an adult at the time.
Besides that event, hes just an asshole. This is obvious from the email exchange and from his blog posts.
He was banned from Free desktop two years ago for the transphobia in his discord. It wasnt some decade old messages from when he was a kid.
This is the correct way to configure Steam to use remote play, but OP is looking for how to install the Steam Link application, which can be installed separately from Steam. Its good for low power devices like a raspberry pi.
I’d recommend just installing the Flatpak. If you want to have it in your Nix configuration you can use nix-flatpak.
I’d also recommend looking into other options like Moonlight and Sunshine, they have better performance in my experience.
I recently started using Halloy and really like it
