WHAT. THIS SOUNDS AMAZING.

Right alongside the release of Oasis VR driver for Linux?! Happy day!

If that launcher bypasses the fickle EA launcher thing that keeps hamstringing my attempts to play TitanFall2 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, I might just have to give it a go.

The webcam being stuck on sounds like a Microsoft “feature” that would accompany “We’ve made updates to our EULA” that you’d be forced to accept to start Windows next time. 😬 Lol

trying to disable the stock ticker (?WTF?)

Geeze I should have invested in “?WTF?🔺” years ago. Look how ?WTF?🔺 is everywhere now! Especially the tech industry. 😭

Thanks so much for the info! I’m so happy to be incorrect on both counts hahaha.

I’m gonna look deeper into it then when I can finally get the chance. This is so very cool!! :D

Uuuusually in my experience, if something works well enough on Fedora, OpenSUSE should be fine. :D

As a frustrated Samsung Odyssey+ user this is incredible news. I’ve only dusted it off on occasion to try and compile everything in EnVision again, fiddle a bunch, get nauseated, and hope it improves. (I was never able to get games to launch in the headset…)

Although, being on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed…

I had no success with Wayland, therefore I do not recommend using Oasis with Wayland.

Nooooo!! 😭 Maybe it can run in x11 mode with that…X11 / Wayland bridge system…

I was jazzed for steam frame too but I’m a working class prole in 2026 A.D and it apparently doesn’t even come with its own headphones? I can’t responsibly justify this even if I got picked in the raffle. Lol

If this works though, I’d finally get to erase my ancient Win10 partition for good and switch all my NTFS to BTRFS. GLORIOUS!!!

Oooof I feel you so much on this. Getting rug-pulled by Substance Painter/Designer “jOiNiNg TeH aDoBe FaMiLy” right after I dropped like $200 bucks on it was enough to make me drop learning it and figure out every other way to do it instead.

Blender has caught up quite well, for the stuff I do.

I never want to invest time and money into some black box software just waiting to betray me like ever again.

Sounds fun! Like how OpenSUSE has music video parody songs :D

If you’re a C++ developer, particularly with graphics experience, Inkscape could use your help in pushing 1.5 forward. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/work_items Adobe has unlimited resources. Inkscape relies on us

I definitely don’t fit that criteria, but, we could always stand to pitch a few bucks towards our favorite open source projects to help them thrive! Even in these trying times, we could all skip 1 or 2 takeout coffees for this! :)

Edit: This header picture tho… adventurer has like 6 swords sticking up through him? This isn’t slop, right? :( I’m looking really closely but I can’t tell anymore.

Also let’s be honest, it was entertaining.

Adventure is when trouble happened to somebody else! :p

Yiiiiiikes. This is why I’m gonna be stuck on tailscale or another VPN only access for quite a while. I know it’s not perfect, but exposing ports on today’s Internet is scary.

I know I don’t have the mental overhead to secure literally everything, and have a solid contingency for when some botnet armed with a zero-day inevitably breaks it.

Really glad this person wrote this write up about how that happens and what it looks like though. It’s REALLY interesting and I learned a lot!

This is unfortunately a side effect of “Year of the Linux Desktop”. With adoption comes “market share” so…

It’s on the radar now, of everyone who ruined everything else for us. They’re gonna try to infect Linux with their cancerous greed and surveillance capitalism as well.

I’ve come to the point I just hate business. Ugh. Can’t we just be fine and left alone?

The Promise: “You’ll have to work less!”

The Reality: You have to work more, for a literal machine.

Yep, was only a matter of time. Can’t have people peeping into those walled gardens trash fires untracked and unmonetized!

THAT’S why I haven’t noticed anything throwing me off. Freaking LOVE OpenSUSE. ❤️

That is super rad. I wonder how hard it would be to replicate today.

We could have a “RAMcore” subgenre. I wonder how running different processes affects the sound?

Imagine if the German underground scene discovered RAM noises. . .damn, RAMmstein is already taken. XD

All seriousness though…I now wanna know what my RAM sounds like. Lol

That sounds really interesting! I couldn’t find anything else on this. Is this like pre-systemd?

Stop it.

Get some help.

That was a very insightful answer. Well said! Thank you very much for replying. :)

I will have to contemplate a little bit, and respond to the question myself as well.

Lol that’s funny. My belief in having a divinely created soul is exactly why I think humans can’t be replaced by these supercharged drunken parrots. :O

…But yeah this is probably referring to the ones who, under the right conditions, will start to sense “ghosts in the machine” and go down the rabbit hole to chatbot psychosis…

Yep, I’ve already got an emulator for my cherished Xbox games I bought when they were new.

I’m not letting them resell me the memories of when they weren’t a joke. Lol
