It didn’t, but EAC added Linux support a while ago… so any game dev can choose enable Linux support (and most do in my experience). I play many EAC games on Arch(, btw) with an NVIDIA card, HDMI 2.1, HDR works, etc. I have a working VR (Index) setup, a gaming mouse with better customization software (imo) than Windows, etc.

Most of these things had various minor issues even a year ago and now the only thing I can think that is non-standard/requires tinkering is that I’m using beta drivers to have Vulkan support on NVIDIA. This provides a good HDR implementation. Once the Vulkan support is released in the official driver then a user could get all of the same features without ever needing to do anything but update their system and install Steam.

Progress in the Linux gaming space advances every week. Things are approaching perfect, outside of structural issues (such as kernel anticheat). I have 213 games in my Steam library and the only game that I cannot play is Apex: Legends.

Apex runs just fine, but EAC is configured to kick Linux clients if you try to connect to a match. This isn’t a Linux issue that can be patched, this is a developer choosing to not allow Linux.

If you haven’t tried gaming on Linux in a while, you should give it a shot. I’ve long since ditched Windows in order to have more free space.

The siren call of enshittification-driven short-term profits was too strong.

Steam? We had Wine launch scripts AND WE LOVED IT.

If our DXVK and Mesa versions were not compatible we just kernel panicked like a real OS. Kids these days with their GE-Proton and NTSYNC don’t know how good they have it.

Kernel synchronization primitives? ABSOLUTELY NOT, we’ll use file mutexes in userspace like Linus intended.

If they didn’t want to be looked down upon then they wouldn’t be using inferiour software.

Space Marine 2 works just fine on Linux, I was just playing it last weekend. It has a gold rating on Protondb.

Kernel anticheat games can die in a fire, with all due respect to them.

I’ll worry about them when I get through my backlog of games which grows faster than my completed game list.

The progress in the last 2 years has been nothing short of amazing.

The KDE team, Wine, Proton, TKG/GE/etc have worked miracles for the Linux community.

Also, shout out to Microsoft for spectacularly face planting in their move to Windows 11/CoPilot/Vibe coded OS development. Nobody deserves more credit for Linux’s growth than Microsoft’s complete failure to innovate as an operating system developer.

The lines get kind of blurry, it’s a bug that allows people executing code as your user(not sure the specifics of snap’s security) to see things that you thought you deleted.

This doesn’t give an attacker anything particularly useful. If they have that level of privileged already there are much more fruitful avenues of attack that don’t require digging through your trash.

TL;DR:

When you delete in VS Code it stores the files in

~/snap/code/<version#>/.local/share/Trash

Which isn’t automatically emptied by gnome like ~/.local/share/Trash

Updating the package also creates new copies of this directory under a new version, leaving orphaned files/directories which contain data that you deleted.

I knew there was a reason I avoided the Bash manual

Ah, a Rust heretic

It’s always funny, until that one day where it isn’t

PC-LOAD-LETTER, wtf does that mean?!

e: You guys are making me feel old for not getting this reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Space

when I have to reboot anyway.

I do the same, then you have these days: “Ok, I’ll run a quick update before reboot… Updating qt-webengine?, nooooooo”

–progress=info2 could be a bit shorter imo
