johncena141 changed their compression _AGAIN_. I think they've actually gone backwards now and started using LZMA2 (.tar.xz) again.
@crunklord420 they're the linux scene right? ive heard of it before but i think only in relation to linux gaming
@graf they're not "scene", they're basically repackers but they redistribute native linux games. They also repack windows games with wine but honestly I think that is kinda gay, it only makes sense to ease in Linux noobs who don't know how to do wine stuff themselves.
They're super autistic about compression. It's probably changed like 6 or 7 times now. There was a huge pushback from all their special snowflake compression, one of which was a closed source program. gz, zstd, xz, zpaq, dwarfs, FreeArc'Next.

@fluffy @LukeAlmighty @crunklord420 @graf bought a laptop earlier this year and installed endeavourOS to get used to linux, i can see myself switching on my desktop once im forced to use windows 11 or something
@fluffy @crunklord420 @graf
Because driver installation, setting up wine etc...
Ok... my list now would be:
User rights management
Running processes
That god damn file system
Fuck package manager centric culture
Drivers
Setting up Wine
Freezes (because of driver I guess?)
Do, that should cover the basics.
@LukeAlmighty @graf >he doesn't even compile his own special customized wine-staging-tkg or use FUTEX2
@LukeAlmighty @crunklord420 @graf Wine is dog shit, at least it was 10 years ago when I tried it. Honestly you're better off just running a VM or dual boot of windopes and gaming that way. There's a pretty decently sized movement of devs making game that run natively in Linux though, as Graf said about Steam.
gaming on linux is actually becoming viable because of steam and its fucking cool
