People talk about #GamingOnLinux like it's such a new thing…
There was a company 20+ years ago (Loki Software) that chiefly ported games to linux (commercially).
There was also a wine-based #Proton-like compatibility layer called (IIRC) #CrossOver. I think it was actually an "open core" system, where sales of the software helped fund #Wine and/or older versions/portions of the software was released as source for wine.
Salut @sebsauvage
J'ai ce message quand je lance un jeu avec #wine j'ai du faire un truc car avant ça fonctionné nickel

I’ve read & enjoyed Still Life by Louise Penny, does that count? I recently found this book, The Thursday Murder Club & it was called a ‘cozy mystery.’ Do you all have any recommendations, do you like this genre or am I’m just 100 years old? #books#wine#photography#amreading@bookstodon
You are in a very small, very clean apartment. You see a #blind#gay man sitting at a desk. He is shirtless and wearing a pair of large cans. He is singing Ace Of Bass in very loud, very bad falsetto. No wonder he didn't hear your entrance. There's a glass of #wine at his right hand. His left is fidgeting with something. There are shelves above the desk. On the top, you see an AM-FM broadcast receiver, a small #HamRadio transceiver, a power outlet strip, and a small #audio recorder. You turn your attention to the laptop.

You notice a distribution of #GNU#Linux with the Mate desktop. There are three windows open. The foremost is a vlc open on a playlist. Behind this, you see two text editors and a firefox. One editor has what looks like an #introduction post for Mastodon. The other has a #DND5E character sheet, in progress. The firefox has the DND wiki. On one of two easy chairs, you see #LGBTQIA#Pride graphic tees. You realize there's nothing worth stealing, so, you quietly exit.

Si vous savez quels sortilèges invoquer dans winetricks pour que Empyrion Galactic Survival fonctionne dans Wine, n'hésitez pas à me prévenir.
Aus gegebenem Anlass möchte ich daher hier dazusagen, dass #BaldursGate3 auf #Linux unter #Wine funktioniert. Auch ohne Steam (bei GOG gekauft). Bei mir nicht in höchster Qualität (mit der eher schwachen onboard-Grafikkarte nicht anders zu erwarten …), aber gut genug, dass es Spaß macht.
There's a proper way to taste wine, and it doesn't involve waxing lyrical about the obscure notes you identify in the liquid. Here's a breakdown from Food & Wine of how to swirl, sniff, slurp and — if necessary — spit your way to appreciating fermented grape juice. How do you feel about wine?
Hmm, going to try to make #grape fruit leather. Will have a lot of grape juice as a result. (fruit leather uses the pulp, not juice). Still have plenty of #wine (and raisins) from the last harvest... 🤷 #gardening
> Depuis l'an dernier, le Steam Deck de Valve a démontré que l'idée d'un PC Linux consacré au jeu vidéo ne relève en fait aucunement du délire fiévreux. Comment en est-on arrivé là – et devrait-on aussi envisager de faire la transition sur nos ordinateurs de bureau ?
Super dossier sur l'arrivée des jeux sous GNU/Linux. Dans 80% des cas, y'a plus besoin de #Windows pour jouer, c'est certain.
Before bed, I want to tell a quick troubleshooting story:
I switched to Wayland!
But DCS: World has a weird frame flickering issue.
I try Proton, doesn't help.
I try different Wine version, doesn't help.
I try messing with DXVK, doesn't help.
It's an NVIDIA driver issue related to XWayland.
I admit defeat and go back to X11.
But: Wine can be run in native Wayland mode!
I find out how to run Wine without XWayland.
It works flawlessly and more performant than ever before!
I dared switching from #Windows to #Linux on my work computer yesterday. This...is going to be somewhat a challenging switch, even for a Linux enthusiast such as myself. 🫣 There is already #KVM and #Wine involved, but we will see about that as time goes on.
Heard an #NPR story on "why climate change is good for some wine growers" driving to/from an appointment 😬 (I guess someone told them "we need POSITIVE CLIMATE CHANGE STORIES FOR A CHANGE!") #climate#wine#FoodSupply
OC Hey Apple, any chance you wanna maybe... contribute... to WINE?
