It's basically hardened Firefox, you can do all the same things here too. Alas using it with an account kind of defeats the purpose. However you can use your account once to sync everything.

You don't have to use G-apps though.

That makes sense. Thanks for the detailed reply.

Though you could ask this to OP, they might try it. Personally I don't use NTFS even on my external HDDs.

Huh, interesting. Didn't know about mklink. So with this, can Steam games be used from NTFS directory?

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, technically Steam expects a file system to act as a Linux file system. Since some features that Linux file systems support do not exist on NTFS, it doesn't work correctly.

By the way, if you're gonna use Proton for a game, you can backup and reinstall it by using that backup on Linux. You don't have to download it again.

NTFS doesn't support symlinks, so it doesn't work correctly from NTFS partition. Also it is possible that you can corrupt those files on NTFS partition by doing that.

Basically don't mix Windows stuff with Linux stuff when running programs. It's okay for media.

If you are talking to someone asking about Ken, it's the first. If you are talking to Ken, it's the second.

They are not unanimous on everything, so probably no. However the racist and misogynist ones are a vocal minority. Like on everything, it's a spectrum and it's not wise to put all of them in the same category.

there’s not a higher ratio of positive reviews to hide the assholes?

I don't think it works like anonymity and if they are the only ones who give negative reviews on a successful game, it would be easy to find them in all those positive reviews. It is possible that people who gave a positive review also mentioned that they are uncomfortable with these specs. You won't see them if you only check negative reviews. I would say you can find both civil and assholes in anti-woke people. Same thing goes for the woke people as well. The problem here is, the ones who hold these debates on the internet are usually the assholes from both side. It's crazy. I guess we have enough people here on Lemmy now since things are not so different from Reddit anymore.

That's a good point. I probably missed that because I didn't visit those forums. Usually these discussions go around with already bad games. I actually checked BG3 Steam forums now however couldn't find those threads without searching. Perhaps it was a vocal minority? If a game is good, majority don't care about these details or they don't express their feelings even though they're conservatives.

I guess it would be more fitting if I said "symptom of an ongoing debate" or something like that. But like I said, these conversations go around on already bad games. Maybe they being bad attracts these conversations since those people have a tangible indication, even though it's actually not the real reason of it's being bad.

If Veilguard flops, there will be a lot of reasons to list. Not sure if wokeness would make into top 10.

Yes I didn't spend time in BG3 forums but from what I see on Steam reviews being 96% positive out of 500k people, I believe they are a minority.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

That's a good question. I think it's more like reciprocal, as a counter measure from conservative people. I wouldn't approach this as left and right quarrel. What we see is political but not in its core I believe, it's pushed into politics.

If simplify it, this whole debate is around having transition chest scars as a customization option, at least that's what I see. Woke is just a bigger cluster here.

There is a problem with GTX 1xxx cards (1660Ti in my case) running Proton 8+ for quite some time due to Nvidia driver, they're unusable. Because of this even Experimental and GE branches are useless for me.

To be fair, Proton 7 is mostly enough. However, I cannot play one of my games after its update and it's working fine with Proton 8 according to other people.

So, is there a workaround for this or I should wait for Nvidia's Vulkan updates?
