I installed that today. Finally! Years after GE release, I managed to install it with the help of an AI bc nobody explains anything properly, except for the AI. Hopefully with GE I'll stop seeing 130 GB log files from Forza 5. ๐Ÿ˜‚

If you see only 2 parts of the image, that means your ISP sucks and it doesn't load the entire image.

 

The calendar looks the same way as the menu - with 40% transparency. I've been thinking of transforming the menu and the calendar to a solid green background color (instead of transparency) but never had the time to do it. The original theme was Mint-Y-[something] about 8 years ago but nowadays it's... something else.

Yeah, I think it does. But I still don't get it why the man in the third image is with nearly closed eyes. Is he answering the question by mimicing a Chinese face, meaning China told him not to trust what China says?

I wrote AUR earlier. Considering your answer, you don't know what AUR is, I take it. "Arch User Repository". I downloaded the packages from there and extracted their contents. One is binaries, the other package is game data (files, textures, etc).

Oh, I understand now. I checked PKGBUILD and it seems the path is... let's call it "hardcoded" because executables are probably looking for libraries in that specific path - /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/share and so on and that's why it's failing to start, if it's not on the root partition. I'm not an expert in software developing but this smells like a bad linux port to me, bc properly made programs have quite different paths, like this: $HOME, $PATH and so on, nothing definitive like with this game.

By "properly made programs" I mean programs that will run just fine, even if I unpack their /usr in my secondary storage - /B/123/package-name/usr.

There's nothing to recreate. Read what Ventoy is.

That thing next to the man isn't human to begin with. ๐Ÿ˜† You can't expect the AI to make an authentic rendering of Chupakabra.

If I manually "install" the game somewhere (and by that I mean manually unpack the two zst packages from AUR's PKBUILD download sources), it refuses to start and returns a whole bunch of erors in terminal. If I let trizen decide where to install it - it starts OK. I know the game isn't large and I can keep it on the root partition, but it's about principles, not about size. How can I trust something that FORCES ME to do this, instead of that? Needless to say which corporation such a behavior reminds me of.

Aaaand you can't install it elsewhere outside the root partition... It has to be on / , otherwise it won't start. "Perfect"... I don't like putting any games on the root partition, so... moving on to other FOSS games. It would have been great if everything were put together in one dir, similar to discord's way: /opt/Discord and that's it. With such a path you can symlink Discord to wherever you want. But you can't do that with this game.

Yep, that was it. Apparently 1.1 MB PNG was too big. Thanks!

This was Endeavor OS for me last night on the laptop:

cp /etc/resolv.conf /tmp/calamares-root-krk32ou8/etc/ finished with exit code 1.

I'm never wasting my time with that thing ever again. I don't like Mint but at least it installs without stupid errors.

 

I just created a community but left it without a wallpaper (or whatever it's called here). A little later I found out what the wallpaper should be and now I wanna add one but I can't see any buttons about editing the community. So: how can I add a wallpaper image to an already existing community?
