You can already write a for loop that handles whitespace in file names, just use quotes around the file name variable:

Gooby pls

Archive.org is essential. I donate regularly, they are a key part of the infrastructure of the internet now…

Some of these detect when they are run in a VM

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed and it has BTRFS and snapper (snapshot manager) set up by default, with all necessary system subvolumes already created. It’s been a great experience for gaming so far, and actually the best experience with NVIDIA drivers I’ve had! All you would need to do is create a separate BTRFS subvolume and snapper config for your games folder and you’d be good to go, without worrying about any other setup! No need to use EXT4 at all. Additionally, there is very detailed snapper documentation on the openSUSE website.

https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/15.0/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.snapper.html#id-1.4.3.4.2.2

Additionally, you can get support from the community in the openSUSE Matrix Space: https://matrix.to/#/%23space:opensuse.org

Use the support channel (#support:opensuse.org) or the gaming channel (#gaming:opensuse.org)

If you haven’t I would join the Matrix space, really helps when there’s a gap in the docs!

Running Fedora 38 on both desktop and laptop, both former Windows machines with NVIDIA GPU (laptop has the intel IGPU and NVIDIA DGPU). I’ve been able to run every single game I’ve tried (Elden Ring, Mass Effect Andromeda, Starcraft 2, Sea of Thieves, etc) using Steam+Proton. In some cases Proton GE was required, and on the laptop there was a special proton launch argument required for Elden Ring to work. Additionally, on Wayland there is one specific issue being worked on (explicit sync) that does cause some annoyance, flickering apps etc. But it feels like NVIDIA is catching up in terms of Linux compatibility, hang in there!

I used to use this, you can turn the audible alarm all the way off and just use the shaker!

Depends on the posting frequency… some just fill up my feed, and I had to block them to see a better variety of content

I recommend installing it via asdf, which is described in the installation section of the github readme

Thank you!

Yeah I believe asdf is a kind of package/version manager, so probably similar. And yes when you install you will see the Proton-GE version as an additional Proton version you can apply in the game options, but it does not overwrite the already installed proton versions

Right... does it even make sense that installing all recommended packages is the default zypper behavior? Lyx for example will install a 2GB Tex distribution by default, which will conflict with any existing Tex install. Why on earth is that the default... If you are installing Lyx, you very likely at least understand that you need to choose a Tex distribution.

Take note this is an informal blog post, I somehow thought this was “official”… but it’s just sort of a rambling update on various items. Still good insider info

What did you have to change for VRR? I’m also having an issue where I need to force the EDID and haven’t been able to get VRR

Vmware workstation player is extremely good. Setup is simple and as far as I know it is faster than VirtualBox. I use it with Windows 10/11 and RHEL Linux for developers.

Yeah thankfully that’s the only part of the metaphor that holds… american evangelicals are about as far from a hardened warrior society as you can get…

I use BTRFS and even have convenient Snapper snapshotting set up. It works great. Here is a whole step by step guide on how to set up your system with it: https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-with-snapshot-and-rollback-support

I use Lyx with a local Texlive install, and it works great (openSUSE tumbleweed)
