There are a few launchers that makes it easy to play GOG and Epic Games Store games like “Heroic Games Launcher”. It has experimental “Comet” support which means it records achievements and leaderboard statistics for certain games.
And it supports cloud game saves.
GOG falls short on the social features though, but it also doesn’t have “Steam Workshop”. So I definitely think of those aspects when selecting games to buy on each platform. But it’s not like all multiplayer games are unplayable if you’re not on Steam, although games that are built around Steamworks and rely on it most likely aren’t compatible with other platforms - one could call it anti-competitive behaviour by Steam to “trick” developers to only support multiplayer via their platform, but oh well.
And as for a lot of “friendslop” games, a lot of them have been made in Unity and are quite easy to mod with R2Modman or Gale which rely on the Thunderstore.
Sorry for the ramble.
I knew I wanted to switch at one point before Microsoft ended support for Windows 10, so I began experimenting January 2024, but I quickly realized I could make do with what I had in my MX Linux install. Granted, X11 and more than one monitor with 2 different refresh rates wasn’t great, but by February of 2025 Nvidia fixed some variable refresh rate bugs that made Wayland primetime ready, and I’ve been on Nobara ever since. And it’s been incredibly stable. And there’s so much fun stuff to do.

Jeg tror ikke tingene bliver meget bedre med J.D. Vance ved roret.
Oh no, where did my tuesday go?! This is “Universal Paperclips” all over again…
As far as I know we’re headed toward another galaxy. Luckily we’ll all by long gone by the time that collision happens.
So far he has been too big of a coward to use his second amendment right on himself, only people in the street.
In case there are people who haven’t played the over 15 year old game that is Fallout: New Vegas, that fella in the meme with the black vest and bandages is Joshua Graham, a character from that game.
He’s pretty badass.
she builds it to be easily portable, so she can get the fuck out, if she wants
Like a prepper or because she moves around a lot? From an interview I saw it seems like when she grew up she’d always be moving around with her parents, so maybe that has stuck with her in some way.
I just use Virtual Machine Manager, the thing is that once you add the controller to the list of passthrough devices into the Windows VM, it’ll change (spoof? create a virtual device?) into another device ID meaning you then have to add that device afterwards and then you’ll be able to use the software to change stuff. Bit finicky, and it means it’ll have to be done each time one wants to boot up said VM and change stuff. But it works.
That obviously would be preferable given the choices. Even though I hate walled gardens with a passion.
I just found the idea of moving from one “eccentric” billionaire from USA’s platform to another billionaire from USA’s platform funny. Lest we forget about how meta has handled the flow of information in the past like with the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar.
I have an 8bitdo controller, and the software for customizing macros and updating firmware only runs on windows, and I just use a virtual machine with USB passthrough set up and it works amazingly.
The UK are great at creating jobs, huh?
The Netherlands employed more than 900 customs officials and an additional 145 veterinarians for the port of Rotterdam, while Spain hired an additional 860 employees for airports, ports and border control.
Watch them all move to Threads instead…
Ahh, yeah, that’s much more convenient, saves having another icon in the already crowded extension bar.
Thanks for the tip! I thought I had every extension for finer control, but I guess I hadn’t thought of one that just disables javascript, and you’re right, it does just work on that site.
Well I believe the colour purple is real.
Welp, your comment got me into rewatching old 'Allo 'Allo clips just thinking about the resistance and disguises and so on.
This fills me with optimism for the future of GOG. While I do love GOG it does seem like they’ve been running on autopilot for quite a while, but hopefully with new management they’ll get to improve things for us Linux gamers. A native version of GOG Galaxy would be nice, or they could improve the API and development of projects like Comet that makes GOG achievements detectable ingame.
