Prepare for a few headaches with anything that is running through ea craps. I had quite a few with titanfall 2. Everytime ea launcher updates, break the game and I have to delete (just rename as a backup measurement) the game prefix directory so proton would rebuild it again.

The game prefix directory (if that is how it's called) is located in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

The game id is in the url of the game page in steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1237970/Titanfall_2). That makes it 1237970 for titanfall 2

47.56+41.23+1.36+5.28 = 95.43

Is it safe to assume the rest (4.57) is coming from desktop linux users? If so, that would add up to 9.85%.l of linux users.

Xrdp with it default configuration on debain12 worked for me pretty fine to access it from windows 7's remote desktop protocol on a local network. There was no sound though, so you may need to tweak it to use pipewire or whatever you are using on your linux machine, if you are using any.

Probably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption

[–] mhz@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.

Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.

A buggy USB drive dropping out and losing writes it claimed to have written can kill a btrfs

Mixing USB and SATA drives sounds like a very bad idea, I'm holding on using an array of drives connected using USB. hank you for your comment

[–] mhz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the links, I will hold on using RAID and stick with BTRFS single until I upgrade my storage to higher capacity or my server to something with more reliable SATA slots

Not everyone is playin triple A titles, for someone like me who prefer old or/and 2.5D games (which are usually under 10Gib), the 64gb variant would be mostly fine.

That is why I'm actually doing it, we have a couple of old workstation with Win7 we almost never use at my workplace. I use my portable debian on these machines to practice bash scripting, python and recently docker.

I few thing to consider:

  • use the fastest usb drive you can get, you will be held back by its access/write speed
  • Install the boot loader on the usb drive.
  • you can install 'xrdp' to access remitly using thw windows remote desktop.
  • You will probably find a docker image of things you are interested in, I recently switch from codium (apt) to codercom/code-server docker image, this way I can access vscode from a browser on any worstation on my workplace.
  • Routing can be a bit challenging if your organisation/school use its private intranet, but I set my debain instance (with my phone attached to it in usb tithering mode) to use tinyproxy to connect to the internet from (preferably portable) firefox from any workstation at my workplace.
  • Dont tell my boss.

Compare the SN number in the SMART output with the SN on the drive, they should be the same or else theseller showed you uncorrect SMART output or uncorrect drive.
