If it's been confirmed in the db, of course, no question about it 👌
But if it hasn't -or- the infamous 'partial' confirmation 😄 like for steamdeck, but not desktop.
Then you get into glorious eggroll and launch commands + gpu settings
Or even better, not a steam game, and has its own launcher, like Star Citizen
Or it's on steam, but the launcher kills it, so you've got to get it to launch without the launcher, like Kerbal 2...
But that's cool about nobara, haven't encountered that before. I've worked with opensuse and Mandrake (as rh), but never vanilla fedora or offshoots

My hot take on gaming with Linux:
It's all about getting the title to *run* ... everything beyond that is just icing on top 😄
Think about it, depending on the title, you spend 70% of the time getting it to run and 20% actually playing (the last 10% go to keeping it running 😄)
Am I wrong??
*though I really really wish I could get the thrustmaster hotas to work....

Spent kumukatively over 24h hours of the past week working from inside #VR
This IS the future of #WFA!!
I love the endless possibilities that are already available for use today - and the amazing talented #community that I get to spend my days with.

I did a survey on #mastodon a couple of days ago, asking what the longest you ever had a single linux distro (as a daily driver) running w/o switching, re-installing, etc.
The results surprised me - especially now, since I just did a fresh install of my laptop and really appreciate the opportunity (provided I have the time) to re-explore old apps, maybe try new ones, discover new features or changes that I had previously been oblivous to AND to install/setup certain things the 'right' way after having gained more insight and experience.
It's incredibly easy to setup a new Linux instance nowadays - and is very rewarding!!

Saw a post this morning about fads that disappeared and nobody really knows why.
One of them was about Pokémon go (admitting that some people still play), but the comment below rang so true 😄

Yea, but it's just an optional telemetry - some mainstream distros (like Ubuntu) have had it for years. I've had a machine running a variant of Ubuntu (tuxedo OS) for a while & have portmaster running in the background (from Sapian 👌) and have opted out - there's *nothing* being transmitted.
All the same, thanks for the heads up 👌💚🐧

If I recall correctly, it was mainly my own fault
I hadn't really separated myself from Google services completely yet and hadn't yet made the hard commitment to data ownership & Co. that I later had made.
Beyond that, none of the functions or processes felt particularly smooth or polished and basic tasks were more laborious.
Now that I've come along enough to meet halfway 😄it'd probably be a much better experience

Besides #threads #fediverse #bluesky
Remember that there's still #DeSo #desofy #diamond out there
Anyone else here have any experience with it?

Don't forget about #DeSo the decentralized blockchain and their Twitter alternative #diamond which is still going strong.
Their deso #token with which you can also buy creator coins from your favorite creators is also very impressive. The better the creator performs the more their creator coin is worth...
And the whole thing works via etherium wallet as your Web3 identity.
Worth checking out if you aren't familiar with it 👍

It's from the duckduckgo tracker blocker (beta), runs like a VPN in the background & gives me an overview of which apps are trying to do what, if it's too much or too strange, I can decide if I really need/want the app
Otherwise, I delete it and either do without or figure some other solution.

I've done this, as well
Besides de-googling & replacing all proprietary Apps with those from Fdroid, I have the duckduckgo filter running.
When I'm in a public wifi, I will switch to a decentralized vpn (I use Safing on the laptop, but Mysterium on my phone).
Quite happy with the results for now (been running it that way for about 8months

Re: mobile device
Besides having de-googled my phone (as much as reasonably possible) Nad using Fdroid as much as I can, the best helper I've found has been the duckduckgo browser's beta extension tracker blocker. Runs in the background as a VPN, and provides you with an overview of the RIDICULOUS amounts of tracking attempts by whom via which app (so you can decide whether or not it's really worth it having that risk on your device or if you can do without the app...)
Check it out:

#Mastadon, #DeSo, #nostr
On #mastadon if you are on a server that shares your beliefs & doesn't censor you, nobody else (like admins/mods from other servers) do not have the ability to censor you, correct?
That #nostr is the better protocol is out of question, but mastadon isn't bad, either (when held up to the rest of the offerings out there).
Because it's further along and has a much higher adoption rate (my perception), I don't mind using Mastadon as a "main stream" platform parallel to nostr while we wait for the world to catch up...
Remember #Deso?, the social blockchain & #desofy; I was on that train for a while about a year ago and it's system using Deso tokens as a reward system was very similar to the zapping that's going on here. The difference being of course that lightning's association with bitcoin puts it in a different that's about where nostr feels like right now; however, it was a MUCH more difficult platform to use (very similar to Threema).
So, let's see where things continue to develop & do what we can to support.

So my next challenge is going to become conversationally fluent in Lang Belta 😄
(Belter Creole), which technically doesn't "officially" exist BUT there are language courses offered that teach it!! 😏
So, while it may not help me professionally... It will probably most likely catch an eye when someone is reviewing my application (I mean really?, how often do you see creole as a language on an application??) 😁😜
I'm already 2 days in - and the tools available nowadays to learn & practice this stuff are incredible!!

Just found it in the general chat
It only works in the apk you get from Google play store and NOT Fdroid or github... 🙄
The developer said he can't get it to work there (for some reason or another)
So, as nice as the feature really would be, it's not worth it to me... yet to go download it there

Yes? As in yes they are encrypted or yes, they are ALSO not encrypted??

This. 👆
Precisely this is alone the reason why Mastadon will not win at the end.
It feels much more mature and polished compared to nostr - but the underlying protocols/technology essentially damn it to relegation...

I stumbled across #nostr after the last couple of weeks spent in VR, primarily working from inside #Immersed, getting re-acquainted with #Mastadon via #tusk and @fosstodon.org
and then reading a Forbes (of all things) article on #Artifact telling about Jack & Edward Snowden preferring #nostr...
Like so so many others here, I've been falling down the #rabbithole every since!! 😅
So, this is now my #introduction and I am pleased to say that I've already encountered several #awesomepeople and seen some #craziness on here 💚 and there's no end in sight!! 💪🏼
I, like so many here, am an advocate of #FOSS, work and live using #Linux (currently Tuxedo OS2), I'm a 39yo German/American who has worked in management consulting for the past 11 years, mostly in interim management. I'm married for the 2nd time since February, have a chubby orange British Shorthair Cat named Gomez and love to get around on my electric unicycle #EUC 😁
Looking forward to experiencing and encountering many of you and whoever is yet to join 👍

I'm never been a Twitter user.
I am a passionate FOSS advocate and everything that goes along with that.
I get my news using Artifact & that's how I became aware of #nostr (an article in Forbes a/o Jack & Edward advocating it)
I recently reactivated my Mastadon presence, too...
So!, between nostr, mastadon and the rest of what life has to offer... My brain is starting to run on fumes!! 😄😄
