  • I think I was trying to make the same general argument. Words are so much fun, aren’t they?

    But, yes - us Yanks don’t realize we are the most heavily propagandized people in the world. Take something like the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of school, for instance; in Amerikkka, normal. But everyone else finds it creepy and unsettling…

    Huh, what? No. No it did not.

    His team had all the cherry picked numbers to “prove” it went further, bit if you believe that, tell you what - I got some prime lakefront property you might be interested in! It’s on the moon, though…

    Your actual spending power will never increase under Republican leadership. Fucking never. Fuck sake, these are the assholes that sold “trickle down economics”.

    No, he won because bigotry. Nothing else.














  • I am trying to give their programmers credit where I can; first, the massive influx of time and money into gaming on Linux has had obvious, amazing benefits. And my recent gripes would be about a persistent bug that has crept into Steam OS desktop mode; but it’s a one line shell script to fix, and they just moved to a much more recent kernel, not to mention officially tackling support for third party handheld PCs, so…yeah, that all sounds like a headache on crack.

    But, honestly, I hear ya all the same. I think we feel confident holding these guys to a high standard for good reasons, so hopefully it all comes out in the wash.

    Edit: I don’t know much about virtual desktop options that run maybe, but wish you luck. Seems like lots of stuff going on in that area these days…



  • There’s actually a number of options. Lutris and Bottles are both built on top of Wine. And there are other apps that use Wine to make it all work, but I’m not very familiar with anything else…yet!

    Bottles can be a little tricky to get used to - one of the biggest issues is that it sandboxes the Wine runtime, so you’ll often need to move your .exe into the right file path. But, other than that I found it pretty easy to use! So if you need something that you can “drop in” to replace Lutris, it’s worth a try! It has some helpful preconfigured runtime environments, depending on if you are running a general propose application or a video game. For the power users, you can even start with a blank slate.
