Were there ever really any games for TempleOS?

The Empyrean Campaign on Flare is fun. Looking forward to the next update.

Why does tux looks so silly.

Niggus have you never heard of compton? Or hell even the nvidia drivers can just turn on composition pipeline and that problem goes out the window. No idea if AMD offers the same but I bet they got something

like 5 seconds of configuration on your part in total

Don't let him bait you into providing tech support for his lazy ass

Why use Linux for games when every game it has is also on Windows?

I recently installed Arch on my Asus C300, a Chromebook. I've played CS 1.6 on it and the framerates were very inconsistent and low, around 30 fps. I've done some digging and I've found out that the processor in this laptop (Celeron N2840) should be able to run CSGO (not 1.6) at 30 fps, on Windows. So either Valve didn't bother porting their shit right or Macrohard has some magic propietary shit up their ass.

Any suggestions to improve this piece of ass? Except replacing it.

I might replay Human Revolution on Linux and try playing Mankind Divided next, currently Fedora is the distro I had more performance on (For example CSGO couldn't get past 50 fps on Debian whereas in F26 I'm getting 100)

Just buy it, it's dirty cheap this days and even when it came out

Fuck off, you gay hipsters. Nobody is ever going to use this shit because it's gay as fuck.

Last time I checked, Wine on Mint ran a large ammount of games with minimal issues?

This still true, or should I aim for Win7+Mint dual boot master race?

definitely the problem. it's a good work horse, but the kernels and drivers are way behind because of the focus on stability

You got power saving features on without knowing?
Stick i915.enable_rc6=0 into your grub command default to turn that off the easy way. Though I dunno how much performance you're gonna expect off Intel HD graphics
Also the windows performance might be up to or 30 fps or some hot trash marketing like that.

I hope you didn't buy it.

It's expected that Debian will be shit because it uses a way different update philosophy. It's for servers and waits until everyone else tests the fuck out of everything for security and stability. If you want more performance and are willing to sacrifice stability try arch. Or gentoo, compiling software with appropriate processor extensions for your hardware gives you a performance boost.

Honestly, keep Win 7 if you already put the money down. I'll only be changing to full linux when win 7 is dead. 3/4 computers are linux already, plus a router with openwrt for some nice automated switching of ips from jdownloader

Thanks for the suggestion user, I saw some videos where shit like this was mentioned, I'll look into it.

Same here. Depending on how my country goes with Piracy laws and how Windows tries to force everyone to upgrade, I'll keep 7 via piracy even if I have to keep it offline.

Yea I expected Debian to be way behind, but I found it actually surprising for the performance to go THAT low, specially since CSGO is a relatively light game
PS: Yes I bought it and I really have no regrets

Wine can't even properly run DaS without installing some winetricks fuckery and doing some other workarounds.

Honestly if you really like to play videogames just dual boot.

Linux fags would be like "but muh PCI passthrough" but none of them tell you its a mess to implement correctly and you need to buy other PCI devices as well for the sake of not having linux fuck itself with constant control-switching scripts, if you want to ever pass usb devices to windows you need a PCI usb hub, like a gamepad for example, want to give windows access to the network? you need a PCI ethernet adapter too. Basically PCI pass is like running a second computer but on the same motherboard for which only the CPU is being shared between OSs

There's a batch script on voat called aegis that removes all of the spying kbs from 7 and iirc blocks microsoft tracking in your hosts file.

Then just check each month for the security only roundup in the microsoft update catalog and you're updated with none of the garbage. I assume you've turned off updates already?

Stop, you're going to make me stop replying.
gameplay is fine apart from the hacking grind, subtext is like walking through glass though

Gaming as a Service companies exist. Just pay the monthly and as long as your connection doesnt suck you can play anything you want in browser without even needing a pimp gaming system.

remember how some idiots started parading PC gaming as superior to consoles? Gotta love how it came to this.

CS:GO kill yourself.

Wait- so with that you're saying you can update Windows regularly as long as you run it again? Neat.

Do I even need to update windows as long as I have decent virus protection?

well in principle and on paper it's superior, but the implementation of DRM, the use of stuff like DirectX, and games being mostly ports instead of developed for PC put the current state of PC gaming on the ground. The few good real PC games out there are way better than any console game.

You only need to run the script once. Update must be turned off. You get only the security patches each month from a microsoft websie and install them manually. This article says how in detail, you'd be group B.
computerworld.com/article/3136173/microsoft-windows/how-to-cautiously-update-windows-7-and-81-machines.html

Actually, that article does is even easier than I said, I should read my fucking tabs.

lmao nope

I'll keep that in mind, I don't think that will suppose me a major problem tho

I guess it depends if you've had mass rapes by refugees in your country if you care about pro-refugee propaganda in your games. It's rage inducing

Just finished fallout 2 (through wine)

Nothing really in particular other than maybe easier sound configuration.
Also a comfy spess RTS, bummer that SoaSE isn't on linux.

stop

Alright, I stuck that command in /etc/default/grub as a kernel parameter, but it did jack shit, CS 1.6 still runs at 30 FPS. Any other suggestions?

I doubt there's much you can do given the hardware

One thing you can do is play games from before 2007 instead of modern garbage.

Do we have a "muh WINE" edit for Linuxfags ?
If not, someone get on it.

You can run TF2 and CSGO at 30 fps on low, I think.

Damn right, the Raspberry Pi is decidedly less powerful than Chromebooks in general, but look at how much shit it can emulate. It gets better with these cheap little machines.

muh freedumbs™

...

Linux is an overall improvement in terms of usability compared to Windows. So if I can use it and play games on it, it's an improvement over using separate machines.

Because I can finally be free from corporate Jews.

Then why does it take so long to learn how to use it?

Airplanes are an improvement in long distance travel over cars but they take really long to learn, would you say they are less useable in that circumstance?

For some people Linux is more convenient, for others Windows is more convenient. You can't fault someone with different needs than you for using Linux and they can't fault you for using Windows.

...

you people are quick to install a Linux distro for autistic pedophiles and then complain if something doesn't work but never have the two brain cells to rub together and read the official documentation for that distro wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub#Generate_the_main_configuration_file

current wine versions only need a dinput8 override for dsfix

it's easy ti see that some people ob Holla Forums keep shitting on Linux based distros, they're fucking retards with the computer knowledge of some gizmodo reader

(another user here)
> wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting#Avoid_screen_tearing

Hey thanks, didn't think to do this myself but after configuring properly and restarting it seems screen tearing is gone.

Terry made some 'games' (if you can call them that..); youtube.com/watch?v=MQtLv9GizKM
Also, Alec Murphy just added a Game Boy EMU for TempleOS; youtube.com/watch?v=zfEAgtYDyJA

Linecux

...

Any OS from the core takes a shitload of time to understand. This doesn't only apply to Linux. There are plenty of retard friendly distro's anyways.

you people are quick to assume everyone who is new to linux is a brain dead retard who can't read for shit, but the truth is, I did build the configuration file after editing /etc/default/grub.

i saw a letsplayer use archlinux
he lp'd df

That's a retarded comparison. Pilots don't fly because the controls are convenient, they fly either for the enjoyment or because they're more difficult to master. Planes have a lot more mechanics you need to be aware of and a lot more nuanced controls because they accomplish things cars can't do. The majority of people (especially on Holla Forums) are going to use Linux and Windows for exactly the same shit: browsing, games, media, games and some light customisation. So added hurdles to those tasks have minimal benefit for them.

A much more apt comparison is that Windows is like a modern automatic car where you can't touch the engine, whereas Linux is more like a traditional car that allows you to take it apart, fix, maintain and change but with the chance you'll fuck something up. I like Linux on my old ultrabook, for example, because I can set up a no frills installation and lightweight DE and get good battery life.

Absolutely. You're talking about the utility of faster long distance travel, but that's different than the usability of the machine. The analogy doesn't fit anyway, because for the vast majority of users, Windows provides equal or greater utility while also being more usable.

It doesn't, most people just learn windows and maybe OSX because it's everywherethe basics mind you, hell if you sit a completely tech illiterate person in front of either of the three OS the only difference would be that linux tends to be more verbose about what it does.

Yup, nothing new here.

Just fucking install debian.

Arch is crap, mainly because the devs have their heads up their asses. Obsession with keeping everything minimal to the point where they leave out shit that has no reason to not exist (Separate packages that are always bundled, default config files). Even gentoo is not that ass backwards. Also the amount of times updates fail because some dumb error that is slapped on their wiki how to work around it, or the OS just straight up breaks due to updates.
My favorite part is the installer is a bunch of scripts you run manually, they removed their TUI installer because that is not hardcore enough I guess.

Gentoo really only exists to port linux to fucking everything and make your old hardware have modern functionality. Really no reason to install it on something built in the last 5 years or if you are trying to min/max CPU cycles.

Fedorable is great if you want to be tester because fucking everything is barely stable and you can go even more unstable. Also releases the most new versions next to ubuntue.

Debian is the only real good distro for desktop use. Really stable and does not obsess with new versioning.

CentOS is good for servers and will prolly be my next desktop OS because I like the way the system is laid out even if most of the packages are old. It is red hat without the support and uses the same repositories.

Also, until you can run windows games natively I am going to keep installing the latest shit show from MS. But that is why I have 2 puters for.

Any anons got dominions 4 for guhnuu?

I am aware, I'm just saying that for some people Linux is better.

I can only spitball here but, stellaris, halcyon 6, planetary annihilation and springrts might have something.

Why would I do that when it's singleplayer and this torrent just finished?

What's the actual process of working on wine?

He's cute, but not fuckable, which is fine. Konqui and Kiki are for 100% for cuddles

>a bunch of good terminal tools that actually make you want to use them. Just git gud by reading and following along with the first dozen chapters of TLCL, and don't fall for any memes.

I am completely computer illiterate and just started using ubuntu. If something is confusing to you just spend 30 secs googling it and 95% the time the question fills itself in. The other 5% you have spend a few mins looking it up

did i touch too close to home? show me your glorious setup then if you are so great, show me all these games

lol no games

Windows Master race.

...

all of the games
KVM + QEMU + IOMMU + Win7

the only question I have is gamepad configuration, I use kb/m for everything, but if I play split screen I have to add a gamepad to the mix, thus far I've only played broforce with my brother, which had an ingame gamepad configuration tool, but what if there isn't? is there something I can use and how? shit to take into account?

:(

That is 2qt.

antimicro should fit the bill

github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro

alternatively you could do it manually with xboxdrv or try out qjoypad

Why do linux developer suck balls at UI and UX design?

humblebundle.com/store/shadow-warrior-special-edition

Free game on linux grab it now while it's still free!!

What makes you think I'll have to stop using w7 at some point?

because we're used to using the shell for everything because we don't need gooeys like a babby

Linux developers write code for a kernel, why exactly would they be writing UX/UI stuff?

Trying to run the original shadow warrior on dosbox, getting huge amounts of lag though. Anybody have an idea why?

Because most are focused on terminal utils, usually with vim-like keybinding if you don't already use emacs for everything. Besides, most GUI shit isn't even that bad, unless you're talking about gnunet or whatever that failed abortion was

ebin.

I'll say

GTK+ is an abomination that breaks shit with every release just to fuck with people and Qt is still gaining mindshare.

I want to fuck Konqi

Oh and Katie.
imgur.com/gallery/UbIaK
someone needs to make lewds right fuckin now

...

Gas yourselves, Katie and Konqi are fucking adorable and not for lewding.

I summon a drawfag to these lands to rectify the finest lewds of konqi and katie.

Does anyone know how to use a stub libsteamapi.so to make steam games DRM free?

Spoiler'd for lewd

I just checked e621: 16 pictures of the male and one with the female, and the only one with the female isn't porn.

I can work with this.

DELET

I fucking hate furfags.

You know what they say about gays and furfags.
Mental illness leads to another.

I had it installed this year and it has a way better GUI than Windows 7. I don't know what you're talking about.

I get
Which Windows 7 doesn't have
Instead of installers.
So there's literally no reason for me to partition my drives like I did on Windows
Instead of programs stuffing their config files in My Documents or having to dig through User/Username/AppData/Local or Roaming, or whatever.
Which I had to install nssm for on Windows
Where whenever I run an old game I have to turn Aero off, or turns off Aero for me, it get the ugly blue Windows Basic theme that can't be recolored for some reason.
Instead of sequences of screenshots and menus.

As for the spoopy command line, no GUI stuff that occasionally gets brought up. Windows has it too, if you never had to deal with obscure game fixes where the modder did not give a fuck about making a GUI. On Linux, it just feels more refined in that respects and easier to use even there.

Overall, using it feels way less manual and more organized.

I recommend anyone to talk to these people if you meet em, in 10-20 minutes you'll be glad since your life will seem like its smooth sailing and relatively well made decisions in comparison.

fucking kys faggot

Just delete /path/to/steamgame/lib/libsteamapi.so

But then the game doesn't launch cause failed to load lib. You need a cracked lib to launch it.

shit sucks

planetary annihilation was really shit, the others might work though.

longass link incoming

lgdb.org/games?sort_by=created&taxonomy_vocabulary_3_tid=8&taxonomy_vocabulary_5_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_7_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_6_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_14_tid=64&taxonomy_vocabulary_9_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_34_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_16_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_12_tid=All&taxonomy_vocabulary_22_tid=All

but basically, checkout lgdb.org for others if you want. it should have a list of all games on linux.

Yes

got a torrent?

So are you a Linux purist or a dualbooting pleb?

Also, if you want the classic it's free too gog.com/game/shadow_warrior_complete

cringe

Favorite metaphor I've heard is that using Linux is like taking the training wheels off your bike. It's easier to fuck up, but you get much more functionality and control.

Go pick up cinnamint. It's ubuntu but with a windows coat of paint. You can switch from cinnamon to something else later if you want, but it's a good starting point. Learn some basic unix commands, you'll be fine.

Holy fucking hell, I'm crying.

I keep a Win10 VM for Adobe Premiere and some games that don't play nice with wine, otherwise I've gone straight linux. I can't stand using Windows anymore after how much linux has spoiled me with the fact that it actually does indeed "just werk."

I'm slightly paranoid Win10 has some super secret NSA tool that detects a VM and somehow leaks its way into your host PC to mine info and send it back to the CIA niggers

Nobody?

i wouldn't worry too much about that, assuming linux doesn't have backdoors at least new hardware does.

It's actually, pretty likely, I'd suggest using a win7 dualboot/VM

Only if you're a necrophile masochist, because you'll be seeing nothing but 10 000 years old bugged to shit packages.

Linux is great and all, but why is there no non-shit modern workstation? All modern computers are backdoored to hell and if they aren't they still use a shit design curated by Pajeet Kalumikeptupaseema.

It checks out.

>>>Holla Forums770336
and then there's hope for RISC-V

kill yourself my nigga

(((you)))

Talos II fits that role. It's very expensive.
There's also PowerPC and Sparc processors and the bunch of other Chinese processors and LowRISC/RISC-V.

You ((Microsoft)) data collection subjects with your Gone Home trash need to step up to the Linux gaming master race. It may seem as if Linux has no games to the untrained eye, but what it actually has is a carefully pruned selection of all the best games from before 2004. With emulators, I don't need retro wannabe Steam games from people who 'ironically' can't draw. Also, you, me, and 99% other people are too casual to put in the time necessary to beat GNUChess. It's one of the hardest games that has ever been made when you play it on the highest difficulty.

>Were there ever really any games for TempleOS?
You mean apart from the ones he made? IIRC, there were around twenty text-based adventure games that people ported over. TempleTetris was really the killer app for TempleOS, though.

Manjaro masterrace.

Computers exceed humans at chess, so you would have to get lucky to win. Eventually it will be completely impossible to beat a computer at chess.

Every fucking time.

I thought it was already the case.

Do as you please, I just feel like they deserve it, even if I didn't play 20+ hours because it's not the kind of game I invest time on

thousand year old loli os that will never die

While a computer has massive computational advantage, that means jack shit when it comes to positional chess. The trick is to establish strong defensive positions while avoiding exchanges. A well-positioned piece might become a game-changer 20 turns later. You don't know, and neither does the AI. It's an equalizer of sorts. Still, even a grandmaster would have to play perfectly and get lucky to beat a supercomputer.

if they do a native port they might deserve something, but for now, nah

These threads are consolewars tier tbh fam. (((Windows))) is for consuming modern hollywood propaganda games and Linux is for your emulators and holocaust-denying chinese cartoons. Just dualboot, or get a cheap laptop for your personal stuff and use your BEEFY G4M3R RIG just for vidya.

I used to dualboot but now I've got the hardware for PCI passthrough so I only use Windows in a VM. I've got a plug and play USB soundcard for it, so I can even use XP. KVM switches are fine and I used one at first, but I eventually just gave it its own kbm/monitor since I had extras.

I still use Window for vidya like I said above and it's hard to go back because of all the customization and quality of life type stuff you can have on Linux. Windows doesn't even let you rebind system shortcuts like alt-f4, (I use alt-d because i liked the ctrl-d shortcut in the terminal) but with Openbox I just have to edit the config file and refresh the settings.

What renderer are you using? Surface and overlay work best iirc.

Underrated post.

anyone got graphical glitches on total warhammer?

Furfags please post in your board and maybe it wouldn't be a cemetery.

What? It's true. Linux has only the finest chess engines and emulators. You'll notice that there is no Tiger R-Zone emulator for Linux. An Atari Jaguar emulator was considered for the sweet Tempest 2000, but one good game is not reason enough to let in 80 bad ones.

Also Linux is way better for romhacking. It's so much easier to set up something like an command-line based disassembler on Linux. Even if it's not in a repository, installing it from source will install it to a location that's already in your path. It's true that most romhacking tools like level editors are made for Windows, but you don't need those unless you're an MIT nigger who can't even write a compiler.

Running Xubuntu on my Thinkpad X220, great so far. Almost every old game I tried works with WINE or has a Loonix port. I've been playing things like Torchlight 2, Diablo 2, Fallout 2, Volgarr the Viking, Risk of FUCKING Rain, Hammerwatch and Megabyte Punch without issue. I've been using Loonix for a couple of years and I only miss Windows every one in a while to use some romhacking-related application or run some old XP era indie game.

I'm thinking of putting together a cheap gaming PC (a build like this one archive.is/Uy7gf ) so I can play Torchlight 2, Grim Dawn and E.Y.E. on decent settings and framerate, I think I'll try Ubuntu MATE or Manjaro MATE then.

Because you totally don't need to install a new version of MSVC every time you install software. Because it's totally more difficult to run a series of commands listed in a WineDB article than clicking next in an installer wizard. Because PlayOnLinux doesn't exists to automate allt this.

check the pci device numbers, write these in the modprobe config as instructed, add the modules to the mkinitcpio config and rebuild, add the devices in the self-explanatory virt-manager interface. So fucking difficult.
Let's go down the list, shall we?
Just run off the onboard/integrated for the host graphics. My friend does and he can drive a 4K display easily. You don't intend to play games on linux, so this is fine. If you do, endure waiting the 2 minutes it takes to reboot.
Run a bridged connection. You only need to pass a card in if you need to saturate a gigabit link.
Same there, maybe for usb3 to a vr headset, otherwise virt-manager lets you usb-forward individual devices with a single click.

Tl;dr you're a retard that has zero problem solving skills and give up at the slightest obstacle. Enjoy your botnet.

I think you can use RetroArch and emulate Saturn games easily on Loonix.

for some reason retroarch has stopped taking input for me in the form of keystrokes. I literally can't do anything besides open it. No keyboard presses do anything. Any advice? I've taken to using wine with windows emulators

whats with the shit meme about debian having billion year old packages, thats only debian stable, there's debian testing and unstable if you want hot new packages

Rebind the controller pad. Or reset it to default.

...

Don't be a gnumale, install alpine.

...

I generally just install the newer packages I need from source. It seems better than using something that's described as unstable.

Try deleting the configuration file.

Did you play with the restoration patch? I've had no luck making that work but its not really worth playing fo2 without it anymore

The new Mednafen Saturn Core for Retroarch is supposedly quite good. More reason to have a decent PC so I can play Radiant Silvergun and some RPGs confortably.

¿Any good controllers for playing 2D games?

It was my first play through so I only used the high res mod

Why wouldn't you use Arch or an Arch fork when the Arch Wiki exists?

will linux get me a gf

It will, user. It will.

(sage for doublepost)

I got that shit running on wine with one install and even got it modded no its not superhard it just takes a little more configuration time.

Hell I get most vidya installed on the first go around now. Starting out was banging a wooden plank on coconut to open it. Now I have my serrated knife and most games Install without any issues.

Git gud.

alrighty then

like pottery

yeah, sure

Shit women, shit distro's. It checks out.

Anyone can google for a female model and slap a distro logo on it.

That's still WIndows gaming faggot.

It will if all you're into is batshit trannies No seriously, what's with all the fucking trannies in open-source

linux sucks for games lol have fun fixing your dumb shit for a few millennia

Eh. Like the user said, DX11 support is actually getting decent in Wine and there are already some old games that'll run in it that don't work in Win10.

Linux gaming is good enough for most people when you throw Wine and Emulators into the mix.

...

The convience of not dealing with windows 10 is worth switching to linux if you get new hardware.

Linux us not going to force you to reset randomly with 12 minutes to go.

Speaking of DX11, the latest Wine Staging release added more D3D11 improvements and supposedly fixed some Nier: Automata rendering bugs.

I turned on my brother's Windows 10 laptop the other day. I don't know if t was some kind of adware, but there was an ad management screen. "Choose which types of ads you want to display. We're giving you the decision making power, goy." Who is supporting this shit? If you don't want to switch to Linux, then switch to Mac or FreeBSD. Hell, Windows 98 would be better than Windows 10! There's no reason to tolerate the spyware features or the unsolicited advertising from your Operating System.

I got Mad Max recently. The port runs pretty darn well on my PC, although the game itself is fairly average. Car combat is neat, ground combat is Arkham knockoff but not as good. You have to manage your resources a tiny bit more than in most "action adventure" games, which is also nice.

Clang might have its advantages, but Apple is evil and hates freedom. Please try to use GCC more.

I'm on the fresh and tasty LXQt spin of Fedora; I don't have much of an opinion on Fedora (aside from personal preference for it over Debian-based stuff), but I highly recommend checking out LXQt :) It's still really raw and a bit buggy, but LXDE is awesome and I'm sure the newer Qt version will shape up as well.

…Feral made a Mad Max port on Linux, user

why even reply to such obvious bait

...

those porting companies do wine wrappers buddy.

im not paying for that.

user pls. They use IndirectX, a source code abstraction layer. WINE translates at runtime, their solution operates on the source code. Both Feral and Aspyr are known for using this method to make native ports of otherwise purely DX games.

Because then I'd be using Windows.

where are them torrent for Linux games after all?

Easy there Satan. For whatever doesn't work perfectly in WINE there is still KVM + QEMU + IOMMU.

linuxtor.org/
Pirate bay has a few too.

Is there a good site to download native Linux games? I'm tired of having spotty support with wine and all the torrent sites I look through have abysmal seeds for even popular games if they're Linux versions.
Not to mention the official Holla Forums share thread archives are way outdated and are never rewritten. They still have Mega links to Cave Story+, but the game was taken down from the link, and this was over 2 years ago.
Although I will give the archives credit. I found a couple games there that I couldn't find active seeders for on torrent sites like Guacamaymay and Dungeons of Dredmor.

I guess the proper term would be updated and yes they are but the user managing (not one of the board staff so it's not official in that sense) it doesn't want to spend every waking moment of their life to look for things where in most cases the requests can be found with ten seconds of $search engine so it is left up to the other anons of the thread to share stuff.
That said though give the link in and the Linux links in CheckBeforePosting. If you mean DLL's I'm not sure of a site that regularly does so.

Fucking why? Just play modded soulstorm, its much better

Daily reminder to sandbox proprietary vidya. I recommend firejail.

Everyone can contribute, contributors are generally left-of-center/apolitical and afraid of confrontation, and nobody has to look at your ugly face or mannish body. Perfect grounds for a mentally ill person to manipulate others into accepting them.

You can post images here, you know.

Into the trash it goes.

Tell me what you want and I'll hook you up.

But mostly, rutracker is the best place to go.

Have mint cinnamon and windows 10 dual boot, I only use win10 for my gook porn games and I dont let her use the phone.

They're hosting the links on git. You can just fork the repo, update the links, then send a merge request. Even if they don't accept it, you could just make a share thread with your updated links.

I found shit like this and most of the games are free anyways.
lgdb.org/

I have an extra machine with:
What should I turn it into? A server for lewd torrents that are illegal in UK?

Yeah seems like a machine fit for medium torrenting and maybe if you have a game that you want to set up a server for.
I'd recommend freenas because it has a ton of functionality besides being a NAS but that requires 8GB of RAM at minimum afaik.

anyone?

Damn, same to the second.

Ok, I will read about it, any recommended programs and setup to hide everything from the goverment?

Creepy

I never made my Linux machine run games because you can't find fucking game torrents.

You could get a network card for 20 bucks and put pfsense on there and secure and control your network nicely. If I read that right your MB even has wifi onboard so you could do that too.
Given that isn't all you'd need to do for serious privacy but it is a big step in the right direction and even grants some increased comfort over just slapping a VPN on your machine in that you can control specific routes and say, cockblock any windows machine trying to phone home, route specific greenlit stuff like gaymes over your regular net for keeping a decent ping and tunnel the rest over a VPN set up at the router level.

You mean a network connection? This thing doesnt have wifi

Well, to be honest, sometimes the Linux version is just shit and not worth the trouble. Especially when it "just werks" in WINE.

about time to learn Russian, but I don't really know
since I pretty much do all my gaming in a win7 partition and my amd on linux is far inferior
I've guess CK2 with all dlc? xenonauts too, I've got pending games with them

why?
but it's a pretty decent for a lot of things, I've got a much weaker machine running torrenting and media center and storage (Intel nuc)
you could even do more, like batch encoding, or light gaming, but I'm assuming you already have a preferred gaming machine

I remember the very first official games that I've played on linux, first was penumbra, and that was the reason I still love Frictional to this day, the second was nu Doom 3d, which was the first triple A and ran smooth

Even if you only play one game from this, Freespace 2 is worth it. With or without HOTAS, it's still a great space combat game. Everything else is icing on top.

Enjoy no RTS games ever.

I used to be able to play Sky Rogue on a 3205u based chromebook, wouldn't be surprised if it still ran on the other celerons. More modern stuff probably wouldn't work, though.

Technically, PowerPC isn't used for workstations anymore. POWER7 or POWER8 are, and they're a different architecture that was developed from PowerPC but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what's specifically different. I didn't think Sparc was still in use, thought it went the way of the dodo with Oracle buying Sun.

Why tho? I would go with an R3 to get AVX support. Helps for PCSX2 at the very least. Otherwise, it's probably a better choice than an i3. Not sure what other programs use AVX and I don't know how much the lack of cache will hurt.

Wow, I wonder why it's game failed hardcore.

Playing xcom2 on arch, amd card, no tearing out of the box.
No tearing either with manjaro, which is arch based.
Mint needs some configuring to get rid of it.
What's it like being retarded user?

Linux Oldfag here. I started using Linux back when Win98se got released. I switched all of my computers to Linux (many distros… eventually settling with Gentoo back in 2002, and Bodhi + Kali a few years back). While I was happy enough with gaming on Linux for a few years, the time came when it was simply more beneficial to at least dual boot on a gaming rig for real gaming. Once Windows 7 came out, I just switched one desktop to Windows. This also benefitted me in that I could use Reason (propellerheads DAW). There are some audio tools in Linux, but OSS audios tool < professional DAWs.

So, I understand why you like Linux, it's a great OS that does what you tell it to do… but if you want to game on PC, you're going to be much happier just running Windows.

True, unless you're happy with emulators and pre 2007 games. not that you shouldn't be PCI Passthrough is great if your hardware supports it, (which seems to be really common now) as you can have the best of both worlds and run them both simultaneously. Dual booting is fine if you don't use it that much, but if you do you'll either end up rebooting over and over to switch OSes or just get lazy and stop using one.

That's understandable. Still, the Linux driver situation has really improved over the last couple years, Wine is in much better shape, and there's a lot more native Linux games. The only reason I have Windows 7 these days is testing software builds: almost all of my regular PC usage and gaming is done on Linux these days.
Windows 7 + Linux is still the ideal PC gaming setup until Wine's DX11 support is a little better. Wine already runs a lot of DX11 games and it has better legacy vidya support than Windows 10 even including 2007-era stuff, and as devs improve Linux graphics drivers and figure out Vulkan our vidya experience improves rapidly.

How good is CentOS for games? I have to learn it because I use it at work, and I want to know if I could also use it on my pc to become proficient at it.

So what distro do you prefer? I personally like Linux Mint with Cinnamon and Deepin although I really dislike the GUI in deepin, wish there was variants

actually accurate

Isn't Linux and BSD just as compromised by CIAniggers as Windows?

Not quite, that's just defeatism. Letting a nigger break your door down is still better than opening the door and inviting them in. Don't use systemd if you're concerned and don't be retarded and use your real identity online. If you're public enemy #1 you're still going to want a bunker without internet, but as far as mass surveilance goes your greatest threat is probably (((poetteringware))) which you can easily go without. (LMDE is just mint without systemd for instance) >>>Holla Forums has gone to shit, but there's probably still enough autists there to explain things better than me.

Lucky bastard. Linux distros aren't much different for games, the question is whether you're content with WINE and emulators, wouldn't mind dualbooting, or can use PCI passthrough.

Arch with openrc on my desktop and LMDE if I just want something quick. Void is ok too from what I recall.

Waiting for wine-staging 2.13 to hit gentoo's repositories. I want to see how it runs trackmania2 which is getting near glitchless as of 2.12 and test out the general performance improvements they claim.
Also been playing through underground 2 which I never bothered to complete and it works, I already made a few posts about it mainly on /ogc/ but never said I was on loonix. Only issue is an 1 pixel line on the left and top of the screen that i'm not sure is a WINE issue, and I used to have glitched transparency on the textures of the wheel wells of the cars on 2.3 but when I updated to 2.10 it was fixed.
San Andreas works better on WINE than it does on windows and that's great because it's one of the worst ports in history and anything that helps is welcome.

I can't properly run 1nsane on wine and that's a dx8 game from 2001. Can't really blame them because nobody bothered even testing the game and putting the results on the appdb in half a decade, but it's still annoying.

Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong board.

>>>Holla Forums
is two boards down.

Fuck you

Wine never seems to work for me with shitty RPGmaker H-games, or VNs, which is a majority of what I play. Typically I just dualboot, but that gets annoying quickly. So I tried putting up a VM and all seemed fine, but sound refused to work no matter what I did.

Am I too dumb for this? Am I gonna make it? I just want a nice convenient way to play my loli fucking games without having to reboot all the time.

kys for such abysmal taste

(nicely done)
no u

I fixed it anyways. Now I am ready to fuck all the lolis in my chinese audiovisual interactive tapestry weavings.

EasyRPG tends to work better. Shame about the editor being stuck in dev hell..

Assuming you are playing in a virtual machine, you probably don't need to do that for many of those games. This is likely a locale (encoding) issue. Since PCs sort of became standard, Japan switched to using Windows, which uses Shift_JIS encoding for Japanese characters. Anywhere that text display is involved, the operating system has to be able to "read" the text from the binary. No Linux distro that I'm aware of has this locale supported out-of-box - Japanese users use UTF-8 like everyone else. There are reasons for this, but nothing that couldn't be half-ass fixed if anybody actually gave a damn about Japs (or weebs, kek). Too bad, I guess.

There is a workaround though. You can define a locale yourself like so:

sudo localedef -i ja_JP -c -f SHIFT_JIS /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.SJIS

Then you can run programs in it without switching locale like so:

LC_ALL=ja_JP.SJIS wine animetitties.exe

Installing Japanese games won't work if the game has Japanese filenames. For the filenames to show up correctly, the game will have to be installed and played in this locale. Switching to this locale will change your entire system's language to Japanese, so be sure that you are able to change it back afterward. For these games it might be preferable to play them in a virtual machine, as to change locale you will have to log out and log back in (start a new session), although you don't have to reboot if I recall correctly.

Lots of Japanese games have the file names all written in English, and can be installed either by extracting them normally if in a zip/rar/7z/etc file or by running the installer in wine with LC_ALL, so can be played without changing the system locale on Linux.

Another warning: you won't be able to torrent files with SJIS file names either. This will also have to be done in Jap locale. These files are safe on your disk once they've been downloaded, but you won't be able to use them at all when outside Japanese SJIS locale. They'll give you an error. To get around this, once they are downloaded I rename them if the file names are trivial, or for game installations where the file names must not be changed, I zip/tar.gz/otherwise compress the file and give it a compliant file name for archival and transfer purposes before changing back to my own locale.

Granted, a lot of, some of, who knows, RPG Maker and WOLF RPG Editor games don't work in Wine regardless. Also, you'll obviously still need to install the Japanese run-time packages for RPG Maker games, and possibly some fonts. I believe RM2k/3 does not work due to font requirements not met by Linux - the default RPG Maker 2000/2003 font is in .fon format and can't be used. EasyRPG's native player can be used instead if the game is compatible.

Kill yourself. There's nothing wrong with enjoying visual novels or adventure games, or reading books for that matter. Waste of Hitler dubs.

Indeed, but even then, the player is only compatible with RM2k/3 games.

Jesus Christ, that tldr wall of text and you're even able to give dumb false information…
short story is, yeah you need lc_all to change locale on run time, but that's about it
t. someone who plays lots of hrpg on wine
tomorrow when I get the time, I'll post more

Anyone tried GPU passthrough with a Ryzen CPU?
I know it's working but how hard is it to get going?

Terry beat god at chess

...

Android is a Linux distro.

...

neat and all but from experience wine will work just fine most of the time so I don't see why passthrough comes up so often

Wine might "work just fine" for you, but from my experience Wine offers are completely downgraded and subpar experience than playing the game natively.

GPU passthrough comes up so often because it allows 99% native hardware performance while also running linux.

There's a lot of people who would jump ship to linux from wangblows if their games just werked, and GPU passthrough is a solution to that problem for people who are technically capable enough.

you think wine is shit but is advocating using a VM?
you realise you're running a whole other OS the right?

btw, not really Linux specific but just remembered The Long Dark finally released their story mode

yes, that's the point

guys, I recently downloaded deadcore, and it doesn't work, just a black screen I can alt tab out from, windows version seems to also have problems but some users can play. someone mentioned in the steam forum that the game spawned two processes, which only happened a handful of times to me(or maybe I forgot to close the game and launched a second isntance myself) and killing the second process like said person said didn't help me. I'm accostumed to libraries missing from my pirated downloadsbut ldd shows nothing weird, I don't get what's wrong.

Got a 480.
Updated to the newest mesa on a bunch of different distros.
Extreme screen tearing like I've never seen.
Fix?

try this wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Driver_options

WineHQ AppDB has
games. They are all playable. Some need tweaking, but most run out-of-box.

rutracker.org has
1622
NATIVE GNU/Linux games. That's nearly 6500! PC games that can be played on Linux without problems (assuming that every native GNU/Linux game was released on Wangblows too).

Most emulators have either been ported to GNU/Linux, run in Wine or have a better native alternative. Anything that's actually worthwhile or was made in Unity can be played on GNU/Linux.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW WANGBLOWS
WINCUCKS ETERNALLY BTFO

Unity (the engine of choice for mostly shitty indy games) doesn't run well at all in any of the supported platforms so no loss there. It might even be a positive, forcing (((modern))) developers to give slightly more of a shit about performance if I want to extremely optimistic.

There's something i'm curious about, how's performance with KVM without a PCI passthrough? I want to switch to Linux desperately, but my hardware doesn't support VT-d, so I can't do a passthrough.

Just GPU passthrough. You get the best of both worlds. Put all non-free software in your VM

A virtual machine without a gpu will render on the cpu. It's like having a graphics card that only has 4 cores instead of 4000. And these cores, albeit clocked much higher, are not optimized for the task so they take ten times more instructions to do anything. While at the same time being busy running at least two operating systems and a game. You're probably going to be counting your frames in fpm - frames per minute.

That said, it should be enough for many old games. I never tried.

Oh and also worth mentioning is that Intel igpus (4th gen and up) now support virtualization. Meaning you can have both the host and the guest share the same gpu. No passthrough required.

is it easy to install drivers on linux ? I am currently installing Debian first time. (as a second OS)

nope, it's literally impossible

I'll keep win7 dual booted.

AMD, Intel or nividya?
It's usually not that hard, you just have to install the drivers with apt-get. Some brands have garbage open drivers and good closed drivers, and vice versa, so you might have to change your sources.list file, and apt-get update, then install the drivers

Yes, cat /etc/apt/sources.list to check to see if you have contrib and non-free, otherwise edit it with root privileges and apt update

It's crazy how we can't have a single fucking Linux thread on Holla Forums without windows shill shitting on it.

Can't you tech inept fucks go back playing your ads infested solitaire while being spied on by the NSA?

Console war faggotry is banned but this shit is ok? Infuriating.

nevermind, the second half of the thread is fine.

I got fedora 26 with LXQt recently, I like it. Still very rough around the edges, though.

The generic Gnome Shell configuration has worked pretty well since Fedora 24.

But I only use it on my work laptop, I'm not sure how it fares with Steam.

Holla Forums should autoban all Windows user agents. That would remove most of the retards and shitposters.

user, don't sperg out pls

I think with the future of passthrough we will get what we want. A sandboxed windows with all the botnet shit disabled is 10x better then installing it to natively.

That would remove a majority of users. Then this place would end up like 7chan.

There is little to nothing about computers that should be confusing to a desktop user, and every roadblock I've run into when using Mint has been from the obtuse design of what is supposed to be the most user-friendly interface of all the versions of GNU/Linux.

I've been using Macs as required by work since they were powered by 68Ks, and one thing I've learned with using Windows and Linux is that all the computing power afforded by custom desktops or a high-end Thinkpad doesn't mean much when it's encrusted in a shitty tablet interface with ads, or if the interface is confusing because it was designed by people with no concept of what makes a good UI.

Factorio, Rimworld, and OpenTTD all have linux native clients and run great.

...

Tried installing POL first game thats really..really pissed me off.

I know a new update it soon but apparently the current exe just will not stop with the bad memory allocation. Tried multiple options to fix this. Anyone else gotten it working?

It's a shame I have an Ivy Bridge CPU, 3rd gen.

Yea, I know that feel. I have a sandy bridge laptop. Seeing this technology in action makes me wanna upgrade, but not right now. I decided to wait for the next generation of integrated graphics.

Will never happen. People on Holla Forums are that stupid.
But by bringing up attention to it you're making it worse.
Next time don't reply to bad posts and they won't have a reason to keep posting.

Assignment operators aren't the only problem with that code
There's a reason it became so famous

Debian has a more up to date Testing version and a bleeding edge unstable version.
Sticking to stable is the default but for some reason people think it's the only option

testing and unstable are similar, even some distros are just debian testing + different pre-installs example: kali linux, as it says on the box, debian but with testing packages and similar selection of DEs but with pen-testing tools pre-installed like aircrack-ng which is also in debian's repo, as far as I can tell.

I'd avoid using unstable as they pull packages from the repo sometimes, rendering you unable to update your system if a package that you use received a new update but one of its dependencies got pulled from the repo temporarily or permanently for one reason or another.

It does receive security updates more often but I'd say the need for them is not that urgent unless you're running a server, which you should be doing with stable anyway.

those pentiums suck dick

these faggots ought to try Arch some time, amiright?

I found out why Everything i was doing was failing.

I forgot to enable cmst GODAMNIT THIS IS LIKE THE 6th game i forget to tick that one box that makes the game fucking work.

I configure everything else even getting dx11 and 64 bit versions working…but quetzalcoatl help me to remember that fucking csmt

Currently playing KSP. Just managed to land a science station on Minmus. Pretty fun, but it's really pushing the limits of my toaster.

Y-you too
Is there a good alternative for the price?

how is ksp pussy release,
I've played the heck out of it in early days

Fuck and yes, I'm getting my bros shitty Nvidio card tomorrow and I've got my 480 ready to go.
Should I post some progress of how I inevitably fuck up in here?

Yes definitely as it could be a useful learning expirence for everyone involved.

...

I used Slackware for a little while and honestly loved it, but I am too retarded to figure out multilib stuff. Also it it boots slow on the computer I want it on, but swiftly on computers I don't want it on. Slackware is great and everyone should try it and understand it, though.

Is there a SPARC branch?

I truly believe systemd is a backdoor. Even though I'm running an intel CPU that has a backdoor it still doesn't sit well with me using an OS with a backdoor because I want to move away from mint and just use Solus, Manjaro with systemd or something easy. There's no escape.

7 used to be good before grim was flooded with homosexuals whining about relationshit.

Just ban mobile phone user agents

PCLinuxOS is an easy OS without system and it ships with Palememe. Or just use Devuan.

Are there any non-cancerous systemdicks-free distros that even braindead normalsfags can use? MX Linux is the best I've found, convinced some mortals to use it. It even comes with a NVidia/AMD driver installer. Other suggestions?

Not bad.

Great distro, but only for the initiated.

It is made to be a 'stable' distro and some people don't understand what that actually fucking means which is to be able to run for 50 years and not fucking crash. If you used something more bleeding edge like Debian Sid (Unstable) which actually is not as unstable as it sounds you can get all the new shit and it will crash as often as any normal bleeding edge distro would which is rarely.

Right now Manjaro has a OpenRC community edition but here is the catch, the devoured the dick and will no longer support it after Q4 or so.

The members switched to artix for a better openrc integration or whatever but you asked for something zombies can use which this at least in the moment is not.

Whoa what. The only reason I'm still on Manjaro is because they support OpenRC. Is this confirmed? Is it time to install Gentoo?

I wish I was lying user but here it is
forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-openrc-will-be-discontinued/28387

As I said the devs of the spin want to "further openrc" and not play second class citizen. I of course hope it works out in the long run but in the short run we now have one big distro less with openrc support.
Some people have been talking about hacking the repos together though I don't know much about that and if it would work at all.

Well, at least I finally have an excuse to switch to Gentoo.

You could also switch to Void if you want since it has runit and explicitly avoids systemdick.

Well shit.

You know what else doesn't have systemd? Windows.

Freetards BTFO.

Rocks don't have systemd either.
Technologyfags go home

...

I really couldn't get over the interface, I don't like Mate and the overall UI. I suppose I'll have to get over myself.
I don't like Debians outdated packages.
Forgot to mention, I tried Manjaro OpenRC but it broke and I didn't know how to fix uninstall packages and upgrade a few that were required before a sytstem upgrade. Also got a weird bug if I encrypt the drive, when I log in the screen flashes and returns me to the login screen.
That's also happened on unencrypted installs.

People are still parroting the "systemd is bad" meme?

top kek

For what purpose?

I'm getting mixed signals on whether this works for non-Intel graphics cards or not. Can I leverage my Nvidia GPU or is it integrated graphics only?

Lennart pls go

At this point, using windows is preferable over systemd.

phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Systemd-OOB-Write-9445

So…
Install Gentoo?

Get over this meme already.

I very clearly said "Intel igpus". Other vendors may or may not get virtualization in the future, but for now, only Intel seems to be working on this. It was upstreamed only recently, kernel version 4.11 I think.

No, install void

Because linux can do games and work. Windows can barely play games, and is only coded for out of popularity.
