Look at the top left:

You don't know what my KDE looks and acts like. I know exactly what your Gnome looks like because it's not as customizable, they're all extremely similar.

Installing battle.net in steam is really easy. Just add non-steam game in steam and choose the battle.net installer, then right click on it in steam and click properties, then compatibility, and choose Force the user of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and choose Proton Experimental. Then just run it and install it like normal. Once it's finished you just repeat the process for the actual installed battle.net program or whatever blizzard game you want. With this, you don't have to mess with running custom commands. The blizzard launcher will be located somewhere like "/home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2806461641/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe" where the big number after compatdata is something else. You can run the command find ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata -iname '*battle*.exe to help find it. Also you can tell Steam to always use proton experimental if you want, it's been good to me. Good luck!

I found that changing KDE activities (like a virtual desktop) back and forth fixes it.

You can still make shortcuts to your steam games to launch them outside of steam. However I have noticed that the Blizzard launcher doesn't seem to fully quit after quitting the system tray icon, I have to click stop game in steam. I guess I still prefer this to having unused wine/proton process running in the background.

Gnome is copying windows by putting buttons on the title bar lol

Gnome's demented ideas make it into apps I run in KDE. I don't need buttons, drop-down menus, and text input fields in my title bar lol. I'm lookin at you, LACT.

Haha no, it's technically not an emulator. Emulation means having a whole fake CPU that runs your software. Wine doesn't do that, instead it makes the windows exe run in Linux and provides an API so the calls your windows program makes run natively.

Tldr emulation is slow, wine makes your programs run natively.

I switched to Linux for gaming a year ago and I have been blown away by how good it is.

Yeah, check out Vesktop/Vencord. The plugins are great.

Nah it's pretty good. Just a little rough at first as you whitelist the websites you go to. After that they all load quicker since you're blocking a bunch of tracking and advertising sites.

Sounds like you need the noscript browser extension instead.

Good point, let's censor political speech.

They only said it violates treaties, not that they're doing anything about it.

Say what you will about China and Russia, I hope they succeed because I'm on team space exploration.

This feature is unavailable while the vehicle is in motion (despite the pressure sensor detecting the passenger operating the shitty touch screen.)

Don't worry, he didn't have a gender ideology so this wasn't dangerous at all.

Based young Lemmy user, welcome!

My buddy does orbital mechanics or whatever for Amazon currently, he explained to me that satellites have tracks which are paths at different elevations and directions to ensure they don't hit each other. One time he fucked up and the company's satellite entered another's track. He was beside himself thinking he was going to be responsible for the destruction of multimillion dollar satellites. Luckily they never hit and life went on.

Mexican president defends disclosing a reporter’s phone number, saying the law doesn’t apply to him.

That and referring to Android phones as "Androids".
