За последние пару лет на компе с #archlinux довелось играть более чем в 20 игр. Например, в такое вот старьё:
• #Bastion
• #Transistor
• #Saturn
• #XCOM 2
• #Space-Rangers HD: A War Apart
• #Darksiders Genesis
• Darksiders 3 Deluxe Edition
• #Doom 2016
• #Xonotic
• #Prey
• #Half-Life 2
• #Portal 2
• #Need-for-Speed: The Run
• #Prince-of-Persia: The Two Thrones
• The Amazing #Spider-Man 2
• #Copycat
• #Stray
• #Subnautica
• Subnautica: Below Zero
• The Rogue #Prince-of-Persia
• #Unepic
• #Heroes-of-Might-and-Magic 3
• #Hedgewars

Это без #steam или #gog, а копии windows'игр, работающие за счёт #wine Хотя часть из перечисленного — это нативные порты под #linux, тот же #Doom2016

Запуск Windows'вариантов игр почти всегда через #Lutris с выполняемой им подменой #DXVK библиотек, а вместо системного #wine ver.10.5 использует #wine-ge ver.8-26

Подборка игр объясняется тем, что это для ребёнка, вместо игровой консоли. Даже геймпад есть подключённый к этому десктопу в компактном корпусе.

Есть и отдельная подборка образов-игр для #PCSX2 сродни:
• Disney's Kim Possible: What's the Switch?
• #Zoop
• #Sega Classic Collection
• #Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

В результате, такой комп является вполне годным мультимедийным девайсом для дома в семейном плане.

Welp, #PewDiePie has opened the floodgates to the #Linux community now that he's actually done a full video explaining his move to Linux, why he did it, and why he thinks others should ditch #Windows.

I honestly expected a nothing burger video with not much meaning/input to it, esp to someone who's already on Linux, but his points were pretty interesting. Some of his takeaways:

- He was tired of #Microsoft's bullshit concerning ads, #AI slop, and bloat - and how he really supports the idea of #FOSS, and gave the example of how cool it is that #Valve saw the issue on putting all of their/our eggs (shares) in Windows' basket and addressed that by building on top of an existing FOSS project, #Wine to then develop #Proton, which as a result has unlocked and enabled the expansive #gaming scene that we have today, not just for the #SteamDeck but all Linux users as a whole.

- He, surprisingly loves the customisation aspect of Linux and how everything is modular - which meant we could change things like the GUI (desktop environment) and customise it as desired. He even (appropriately) used the term, ricing lol.

- He, even more surprisingly, loves the fact that there are many Linux distros to choose from - when some find this to be somewhat a hurdle. He highlighted how you should just pick one and move forward, which is often true - this choice doesn't really matter as much these days (if ever). His choice was #LinuxMint, the distro he's tried 15 years ago.

- He noted how, like anything, Linux isn't perfect and there may be sacrifice(s) needed - like how some apps may only be available on Windows, for #macOS, and likewise for Linux. His sacrifice was #Adobe #Photoshop, but he was happy to ditch the thing (which costed him 60 USD just to unsubscribe), and his chosen alternative was... #GIMP - I know some might not agree, but he liked it

- He mentioned how searching (locally) on Windows is garbage, and everyone knows that's just... objectively true. Like him, I too was amazed how local search actually JUST WORKS and is super fast on Linux, unlike on Windows or macOS.

- He noted how goddamn easy and intuitive installing/updating/managing apps are on Linux by using the system's package manager (app store), rather than having to look up the app installer online and dodging all of the shady sites with malwares and so on.

- As if this wasn't enough, Pewds really went down a fucking rabbit hole, almost putting to 'shame' for most, all average Linux users (incl myself) by literally installing/using #ArchLinux on his laptop, which is normal, 'cept he's not using a regular DE like #KDE or #Gnome but he instead, opted for a tiling manager, #Hyprland with #Rofi, #Waybar and all lol.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool video - and I underestimated Pewds' love for tinkering and using the terminal, so much so that I hope his users don't think that they actually need to use the terminal for the things he did haha.
