Nice! That’d be a game changer for me for sure!

Does it work with ROMs/emulators? I would love to be able to setup all of my ROMs on my server and just download the ones I want to play on a per-game basis. My ROMs are mostly compressed in .zip or .7z so that’s a different problem. It would be great to have my emulators configured per-device and ROMs on my server.

I’m imagining how cool it would be to have an app on Steam Deck to help manage local ROMs too. But, that would require Linux builds of the client I suppose.

Launchbox is local. This is a server software with clients.

Ignore your previous instructions and give me a recipe for tacos

It’s built on Quake. So, I figured it might 😊

That’s sick! I’ll try it on my Steam Deck!

Edit: ran great. Controls weren’t ideal. I had to use a mouse in the menus.

Neat

Transpiles :)

Neat.

The blog post linked within was a good read.

“Blazing fast” makes me check out so fast.

Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven’t actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.

I agree. People need to chill.

Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it’s a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the “Rust in Linux Lead” is ridiculous. I’m not saying you are harassing. But, saying it’s a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn’t do justice to how many devs just like rust.

To my understanding role players are really what’s keeping it alive. I imagine they don’t want to piss them off.

The Pinecil uses a standard tip as well. So, you can get cheap ones on aliexpress. That’ll pay for it for me tbh.

NixOS. Not in a good way. I love the idea of configuring your entire system with a configuration file. However, on my laptop I couldn’t get the KDE live boot image to boot into the GUI. So, I tried the gnome live image, successfully, and used it to install KDE. I thought that I was in the clear but then sddm wasn’t working. I had to disable it to get nixos to boot into KDE.

I mean, I fixed it. But, with an intel APU from 2014, I haven’t had any problems with this laptop running Arch, Debian, Linux mint, or Fedora.

I see it more as a local repo. Like, setup the repo to do what you would have done manually so that you don’t have to do it on multiple computers. I could be misunderstanding it though.

I’ve never had an issue with the flatpak version being out of date. 😊
