Any suggestions on what I should do/try? I know you say it should work for everyone, but I found people online with similar issues(although they arent using bazzite)

Gnome boxes are crashing

Hello! Recently I decided to try gnome boxes, but when I try to install a virtual machine from a file (qcow2, iso) it crashes. Any thoughts?

Libretro "failed to retrieve" information

Hello guys. I am getting desperate here because somehow, nobody on the entire internet seems to be talking about this. I can not install libretro cores anymore AT ALL. this is incredibly frustrating, as i am dependent on the retroarch configuration menu to make my Controller compatible with a multitude of games. Whenever i try to start (or ins...

do you know how to install virt-manager? I read that may be better than boxes

pintocat•12/14/23, 5:53 AM

There's a just recipe for layering it in ublue

pintocat•12/14/23, 5:54 AM

I terminal do 'just' to list them. I think its enable-virtualization

Ppintocat There's a just recipe for layering it in ublue

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 5:56 AM

im confused, you mean I can just type "just" in the terminal and it lists versions of virt-manager?

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 5:57 AM

My apologies I havent used linux in a few years

pintocat•12/14/23, 5:58 AM

It's not specific to virtualization. Just let's you make scripts basically. Ublue comes packaged with some just recipes. With no parameter it lists the ones available

_cryptagion•12/14/23, 6:18 AM

argued with someone on lemmy who thought that Epic didn't have the resources to support Linux

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:20 AM

To be fair I think TIm Sweeney is one of the better rich people in the tech sector, like gabe newell. But I think most people can agree that we see right through his rhetoric on this in particular. He's basically saying he has no personal interest in doing it, even though he could, as it wouldn't get him enough money for the effort.

_cryptagion•12/14/23, 6:21 AM

I mean, the game works in linux already

_cryptagion•12/14/23, 6:21 AM

the only thing that doesn't is the anti-cheat

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:22 AM

When people talk about linux support with epic games, we mean a native linux launcher with native unreal engine support, and native anti cheat

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:22 AM

Fortnite is a cash cow and funds all the epic game store giveaways, they could afford devs

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:22 AM

As an unreal engine developer, It is something I have wanted for years

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:22 AM

to have native linux support

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:24 AM

I actually think Gabe Newell may be the one to force Tim Sweeney to do it at some point in the future, as Steam wants anti cheat to work on Steam Deck

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:24 AM

So Valve may even end up paying them to do it, but it could take 5-10 years

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:25 AM

I kind of like heroic launcher more than epics own which is mostly a storefront. Epic launcher has a lot of weird things it's still lacking too like a real way to move games or scan a folder for them. And their game library is pretty spotty in whether any given game has cloud saves, achievements, etc. They went right in on trying to be like steam but its honestly not really at the same level yet

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:26 AM

Epic Games court win MAY actually incentivize them to do native linux support, Epic Games is following in the footsteps of Valve and Microsoft, and Tim is going to eventually want his own Operating System and such things

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:26 AM

But that would come in 10+ years

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:27 AM

I don't really like the exclusivity stuff they're always doing. It's too much like the console wars. I don't want vendor lock in or walled gardens. I shouldn't be required to use any specific hardware or os or launcher for a game

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:27 AM

He saw and liked what Steam did with steamdeck and they are a direct competitor

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:28 AM

I agree with you. I'm mainly interested in what they do as for as developing with unreal engine is a concern

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:29 AM

Because of Epic Games and Valve, its actually pushing Microsoft to compete as well. They did not have to compete before because they had the walled garden of Windows OS that steam and epic games had to use to sell their products

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:30 AM

They don't even have to do basically anything, it'd just work if they allowed the anti cheat to work on Linux, and it's possible for it to afaik. Even without native stuff valve has laid the groundwork for almost everything to just work

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:30 AM

So we may see some new things from microsoft that we did not see before

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:30 AM

Game pass is a good deal and has lots of games. A shame the only way to use it in Linux is cloud play

Ppintocat They don't even have to do basically anything, it'd just work if they allowed th...

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:32 AM

They do not trust it enough to work. They feel that hackers would be able to bypass it somehow on linux and therefore they are claiming it will take millions of dollars to pay for a solution

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:33 AM

And I don't trust epic enough to give them my credit card :p

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:34 AM

They could, as a workaround, give linux users their own fortnite server though with a warning about possible hacking. I have never played fortnite personally, it is not the original game it was supposed to be, but I'm glad it worked out for them because unreal engine benefitted a lot from it, and we are going to all benefit from epics court wins

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:35 AM

gamers in general are going to benefit from their success

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:36 AM

and developers to

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:36 AM

They win against google and lost against apple. So.. they can have a store on Android but not iOS?

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:36 AM

Correct

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:36 AM

but a win against google is still a huge win

Lady Sylvanas•12/14/23, 6:37 AM

and its a long term win against apple to, because people who want to use certain products that cant use them on apple, will stop using apple products, or wont use them to begin with

pintocat•12/14/23, 6:37 AM

And android is Linux so.. they just don't want to support desktop Linux

You've still got something weird going on, Lutris works fine here and should work for everyone since
