I was starting to group together my older computers for potential recycling, but they’re now going to be repurposed after thorough testing. Not a fan of where big tech currently wants to go

What an absolute non-answer Moore provided.

Remember which companies are pulling this nonsense and boycott them going forward.

The fact that Twilight Princess HD and The Wind Waker HD are still trapped there surprises me.

I need to reconnect my Wii U again

Ah, no I saw the comment but missed the part where Amazon is letting other companies use the sidewalk protocol. I’m fortunate enough to have neighbors who don’t use Amazon’s stuff, but if other companies are using their tech it’s a moot point.

I wonder if any of these appliances would stop functioning if the bluetooth and wifi module was suddenly disconnected? Not actually asking, just putting the thought out there. I miss “dumb” products.

Would be easier to create a “guest” network to connect those appliances to and make it a LAN (local area network) only. Can’t phone home. Can’t download updates.

Yes. The absolute worst is in the lobby at a doctor’s office. It’s quiet and then filled with whatever video stream they decide to play.

I’ve started carrying my headphones with me to drown out those situations, especially if I know it’s going to be a long wait.

Since everyone will likely give you varied answers I’m going to recommend this list from Protondb.

You can also see what Valve recommends here for another good batch of games.

Me personally, I’ve had great luck with Indie games, Story heavy single player games like Dispatch and for multiplayer, I can guarantee that Helldivers 2 works.

Oh, cool. It’s possible it’s just the version of proton it’s defaulting to if multiple games are crashing.

For X-Plane 11 I would look at what’s listed here on Protondb for a potential fix. More that likely you’ll find the answer you need there.

If that doesn’t work, you could also try installing additional versions of Proton (Glorious Eggroll usually contains fixes that in my experience, just work). You should be able to install them from the Discover store. For that I recommend ProtonPlus if you don’t already have that installed.

And no apology necessary! Gaming on Linux can be frustrating at times. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a game of mine struggle to run, but before Valve released proton it was a massive headache.

Hope that helps get your game running!

I’m going to second this.

What are you using to try and get the game to run? (Wine, bottles, Lutris, Steam, Heroic, etc)

What game are you trying to play?

Hello there!

The OP of that thread had questions regarding flash carts

Sad but true. Right now the only way to guarantee an order is to either be early and fast enough to beat the bots/scalpers or buy something that’s been readily available.
