  • I'll keep these in mind, hope debian still got 32 bit version of these packages.

  • Ikr? Makes me wonder what that celeron was meant for? It barely ran the Win 7 that came preinstalled. That's why I'm so happy to see it run modern Debian with modern packages. Also why I'm doing some research on CPUs to upgrade it to

  • It ain't high enough to do playback on VLC tho :p but can do some nice fun with it

  • Good luck trying to run neofetch๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™

  • Oh, I tried.. But the CPU/GPU is just TOO slow for that, SNES was the best I could do

  • Parasyte mentioned๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ

  • Fair point. Just to be clear: I am NOT a developer, so I may be very wrong on that take.

    But from what I understand, the difference from what snaps does to what traditional packages does is that the Canonical repos are hard coded in it, thus making it harder to decentralise, and that's not very in line with what many wish for a FOSS ecosystem.

  • I'm mentioning the "proprietary backend" drama around snaps. Not that I care too much, anyway. I use lots of proprietary software daily

  • something something snap package

  • bite

    Jump
  • It actually does, LOL!

  • I think one of the reasons why I can do gaming exclusively on Linux is because I hardly play competitive games, so I didnt miss Valorant, League of Legends, Apex and the like. But it's still a reeeeal shame that these games insists on blocking Linux tho.

  • Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I'm Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

  • But isnt this like asking "Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch"?

    Windows has it's own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it's own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

    To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn't move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android's .apk, right?

    I'm not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you're free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all ๐Ÿ˜

  • People who still own a PS1/PS2 having a blast on their jailbroken consoles

  • Technically I first experuenced Linux as a very small kid in 2009 in my school computers, but my first time trying Linux for my personal desktip usage was in December 11, 2021, when I first tried Linux Mint. My setup was a very humble, 14 years old, ddr2 board, and I was amazed at how much faster Cinnamon was compared to Windows 10. Since then, I already helped about 5 people to move to Linux too ๐Ÿ˜

  • Thx for the knowledge

  • As you do with Red Hat ๐Ÿ˜Ž (or not, idk, never used it)

  • I did a clean wine install and could confirm that OPL Manager indeed does not launch, which is kinda intriguing to me, since it did work with me about 2 years ago, this user also reported it working (in 2016) , maybe something changed along the way and it broke? I'll try to make it work when I get another chance :P Unless OPL-PC-Tools proves to be good enough to replace it for ya

    About HDL Batch Installer, I personally never used it, so I'm not sure on how it works and all, BUT, with some research it seems like HDL Batch is just a frontend for HDL Bump, while Batch is windows only, there seems to be an alternative frontend for Linux, called HDL Dump Helper but I did not test it nor do I got a ps2 right now to do so. Wish you best of luck ๐Ÿ˜

  • Back whe I used OPL, OPL-PC-Tools worked fine. OPL Manager specifically also ran fine under wine for me.

    If you find the time you could do some testing under a live media enviroment, I recommend Linux Mint if you haven't tested it already :)
