I’d say around half of the games I play on Linux require some kind of special launch script, specific Wine version, or even different versions of Steam to run properly. It’s nowhere near as simple as people make it out to be.

Hmm, good question. I’d imagine they’re very similar (if not identical.) Don’t know, however. Mine is self-compiled from source, but when I tried Arch’s LTS package it didn’t crash either.
I believe 6.6 is the current LTS version. A similar crash to the one you describe in the OP started happening to me in the 6.7 kernel. If you check my posts, I have a writeup on it.
Try the LTS kernel. Fixed a similar crash for me.
Warframe at 28 is nice. The devs acknowledge Proton and even accept bug reports for those using it. Very cool chart overall.
Unlikely to help, but while you’re experimenting: PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="/tmp/" WINEDEBUG="-all"
fixed some extremely annoying hangs during loading screens for me. Probably a 1 in a million chance it helps in your case, but who knows.
Financially the right move. If what I read was correct, it would take approx. 8 years of steady Patreon income to get to the $2.4M figure anyway.
They must know they fucked up somewhere and decided to go this route rather than get exposed for potential shenanigans. From reading comments in other communities I was surprised to see a lot of people expected this outcome, although nobody was particularly specific about why (maybe someone here can give some insight.) For the record I’ve been on team “Fuck Nintendo” after the Gamecube, but I’d take the fact that other emulators haven’t been targeted as possible hint that Nintendo got wind of something wacky going on. Who knows, maybe they’re next?
An unfortunate part of the fediverse is that it attracts people who were too obnoxious for even the more annoying parts of Reddit/Twitter/etc. I’ve made plenty of attempts to “get into” Mastodon and can confidently say that’s a miserable experience across the board if you aren’t willing to do the work to curate your feed. Even if you do get a feed that is free of bad actors, conversations rarely veer off-course from Linux, programming, computers, tech, etc., at which point that’s fine, I guess, but it’s hardly diverse. Also, for all the complaining about “techbros” ruining the fediverse, it sure is full of them.
I have more faith in Bluesky currently. If they’re able to achieve their own kind of federation then I’ll gladly jump ship since their userbase is a lot friendlier and more diverse that Mastodon IMO.
His meltdown after he launched Rust on Linux and then found out his mouse wasn’t supported by Ubuntu is one of the all-time greatest tweet threads. The fact that it was a mouse that ultimately sent him into the anti-Linux spiral that resulted in people being able to refund the game regardless of hours played is extremely funny to me.
If you give this guy money then I don’t know what to tell you. He detests Linux users and has said as much while still taking money from them.
I started doing this after my phone number got into some kind of crazy scam call database. At the height of it I was getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 calls a day, basically rendering the phone unusable.
So I started actually picking up and running these jokesters through the ringer. I’m talking 15+ minutes of pointless conversation, false info, tons of backtracking, and general bullshit. I refined my craft over a few months and would time how quickly I could make them scream at me for fucking with them. At the end of it my phone got taken off at least one of the bigger lists because the calls went to down only 10 or so a day. Now it’s one or two a day at the most, probably from me not answering like I used to.
Favorite call was one guy who figured out I was messing with him and it turned into this general question and answer thing about life in the US. Dude wanted to know how easy it was to pick up chicks and whether or not I’d dated a lot/was married. Great guy, really into Counter-Strike.
I get Bad Company 2 vibes from this. Might give it a shot.
I’m fairly certain they’re a college student also.

How many times is this going to get posted? We’re on the fourth or fifth repost since it was written. The last post was just 12 hours ago on this community and there’s still active discussion.
Right? I laughed when I found out it worked, then had a moment of like, “hh, shit” when I realized the log wouldn’t actually help me solve the problem at all.
Good ideas. I’m curious about the game running too fast since other people mentioned it. Warframe has an in-engine FPS cap that can be set (which I have set to my display’s frame rate,) but perhaps I should try vsync or some other method in case it’s something screwy on that end.
Disk is fine (it’s an SSD so any start/stops would be instantaneous AFAIK.)

Why on Earth would we want to make (Lemmy) more popular? I want more people to leave. Things have noticeably gotten better over the last few weeks, but there’s still a ways to go. The people who are leaving are presumably mostly people who are frustrated by the relative complexity of decentralized forums and people who can’t find enough “content” to scroll through here, and good riddance to the lot of them.
You, two months ago. The quote perfectly encapsulates why niche communities aren’t taking off and why the demographic here will always be nerdy and tech-focused.
Every single one of the Reddit communities I followed that tried to move to Lemmy inevitably went back. There’s a ton of reasons why, like instances going down, poor moderation, unreliable servers, and general confusion as to how a Lemmy account works to name a few. The apps not being up to par at the time were a huge factor also. It’s highly unlikely that Reddit will ever see an organized effort to seek out communities off-site ever again, so the chance to just transplant a community in its entirety over to Lemmy is gone. Now we’re pretending it’s going to be possible to take a niche site (Lemmy, compared to the wider internet) and somehow develop niche communities from an active pool of users a fraction of a fraction of Reddit’s. It’s not happening.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, but if you have a problem with Reddit you’re in the minority. I’m fine with maintaining a Reddit account to communicate with people who are still on Reddit. I go where the users are. I’m not going to sit in an empty community for months talking to myself while conversations are happening elsewhere. It is what it is.
Oh, okay.
