You can also open up random porn websites and see stuff that shouldn’t be on Steam. Also having it randomly in nature is one thing, appearing in a shocker / horror videogame with the context of children want to ride naked horses (which are human with mask) riding is another. It’s all about context.

I can judge a style and the art without playing the game. I just said how it looks to me. My earlier point was, if you make a game like that, you shouldn’t be surprised getting banned. And the creator does the best out of it and makes a scene of it. I would probably too, because it generates a lot of buzz and is free marketing. People who never had this in radar will either purchase or talk and make more marketing. So, I am not blaming him doing what he does right now.

I mean at one point in the trailer you see two real horses fucking (f*cked up literally). From what I see it’s not just horror, its about shocking. And I believe not every game should be on Steam. Where the line is, I don’t know.

I do not agree this being great horror.

The game looks extremely f*cked up too…

BTW there is also the package (Bash script) downgrade to do this job. It is in official EndevourOS repositories, but also in the AUR. And if you want do it manually, head over to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages .

Instead installing older version that is either unsecure, or can cause dependency problems, I rather install Flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/one.ablaze.floorp

Ah right, that makes sense. I know that site, but didn’t think of. I know not the smartes in the town.^^

I also wonder if people do more secure passwords for important services. Or do they treat it the same? My parents always used their birthday as password, so they do not forget it. Which not much more secure than 1234.

Looking at the different countries is also funny. The only password I’m not surprised about is admin, because that’s probably the default for most devices maybe? Unless user changes it manually.

But my question is, are these only “hacked” passwords? Because those who are not hacked, you don’t know what passwords they have. So this is a bit of bias here, right?

1k bullshit

TL;DR: Basically gaming compatibility and additional complications, on top of all what is new due to Linux.

I have a brother trying to convince him to use Linux over Windows (or at least dual boot). I could make him use Manjaro (back then when I was using Manjaro myself) on a laptop. That was his first experience and he is a gamer who likes multiplayer games. So the experience was a bit mixed. Later I borrowed him my Steam Deck for 2 weeks and it was a torture to myself, as it was the launch period of the hardware. And then I convinced him to buy Steam Deck instead a laptop.

He still loves the Steam Deck and uses it here and there, especially on vacation. But as lot of primary multiplayer games he play do not work on Linux and because of complications with some non Steam games and lot of applications he had, such as Discord, he went back to Windows on his new PC. Some complications arised because of the Steam Deck and its limitations, but that did not change the fact how games he plays are not working.

But he admits that SteamOS is the better operating system. And he understands why it is what it is, but as said, that does not change the fact he cannot play some of his favorite games on Linux. But that is not all. You have to understand that newcomers who experience LInux for the first time, and switched reluctant without research, don’t know what Wayland is, don’t know differences between desktop environments and has to deal with compatibility layers on top of all other new Linux stuff for them.

Why your sister felt she has less control is just a feeling, because she know less, therefore can control less. It makes sense from her perspective, so I would not say its entirely wrong.

Yes, because Microsoft knows stuff in Windows that can be utilized in WINE. And maybe open sourcing a few parts to add to it. We are talking about WINE, an open source project where Microsoft doesn’t have the entire say. We can check and correct or reject, unlike whatever happens in closed source Windows.

Can you imagine, what if Microsoft in the future will swap to Linux as their Kernel for Windows? Then WINE and Proton are also much better if Microsoft is actively working on it, as they would need it in a Linux based Windows system. I am talking about something like 20 years from from now. Looking at Android or even SteamOS, it could still be filled with proprietary stuff. But Microsoft would benefit from the superior system and lots of free development. Does anyone else think this could be a possibility?

Honestly, I am grateful that the FSF is a bit more strict in this definition. While I do not care too much about this, I think it is good that we have some ideal to follow and look forward. And its good, because anyone who wants to go that route, have a community and direction.

Agree to fully switch to a 100% free os? No. I need the nvidia driver.

Well, there is an Open Source Nvidia driver nowadays (not talking about Nouveau, but the new Nova). I don’t know how good it is and my old Nvidia 1070 card is not supported by Nova. So cannot do any comparisons sadly. I think in the future Open Source Nvidia drivers could be in a similar spot as AMD.

Calling a “regular” Linux desktop operating system being Black boxed or closed source is a bit too far in my opinion. I do not agree 100%, but I understand the concerns and points brought up in this discussion.

I don’t think we need a judge to tell that.

Also the irony that some “is it down”-detectors using Cloudflare are also down.

If no password is needed to do authentication, then any script and any user is able to do whatever they want on your system. Basically every script and application has root access by default. That is something you do not want to have. Even more important in multiuser environments.

Still same to me.
