I hate how the #Lutris project is an example of not properly documented code. I constantly have to chase function calls around to understand how things are structured.

Mmh…

So I made a fix for a #Lutris installer (NFS Porsche) and created a PR on the git of who made the first one.
It was rejected without any comment. Also said person seems to be completely inactive for years.

Should I just yolo it and take over the Lutris installer on Lutris.net? Said person didn't credit themself in the corresponding field, I just found them through the file download links.

The current NFS Porsche Unleashed installer will fail unless you got one specific version. #Linux

Bon, j'ai pu voir que les jeux Steam marchaient globalement très bien sous Linux, mais j'ai pas encore essayé les autres plateformes.

J'ai essayé d'installer le flatpak de gog directement, mais ça n'a pas marché, là j'essaye sous Lutris ça a l'air de mieux se passer.

J'ai lancé le téléchargement de Witcher 3, on verra d'ici ce soir ce que ça donne.

If you ever shared the #Lutris debug log (as requested by both the Forum as well as github issue page) while your #GOG account was connected:

You might've shared your secret API token publicly.

The Lutris logs seem to NOT hide *any* personal information in debug logs' HTTP requests. Including your private refresh token.

If you ever shared a Lutris debug log, de-auth sessions and change passwords immediately.

This week's Linux and FOSS news:

LINUX NEWS

Linux Mint team plans new Cinnamon app menu, Firefox root certificate expiring in older versions, website backend rewritten and containerized:
https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4811

Gentoo offers bootable QCOW2 images for cloud deployment, without the need for manual installation:
https://ostechnix.com/bootable-gentoo-qcow2-disk-images/
(That's actually pretty cool, I could imagine beginner friendly distros like Linux Mint doing the same - but maybe with VirtualBox or VMWare images, because Windows users are probably more familiar with those - so they can try out Linux without the installation and then if they like the experience, they will be more motivated to learn how to install it on bare metal.)

Armbian 25.2 released with support for new boards, Linux kernel 6.12 LTS:

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 21: Do friends/family give you gifts for your activities, or do you buy all your own supplies?

I buy all my own supplies, which is to say a computer and software. I spent *months* trying to get #Scrivener to run on #Linux (#Lutris did the trick).

So my game & OBS crashed again. And RIGHT after I beat a mini boss

The reason? #Vnyan HAS A MEMORY LEAK WHEN RUN WITH #PROTON-GE OR #PROTON EXPERIMENTAL! GREAT!

I can fix it, I just have to find a wine version in #Lutris that doesn't cause a mem leak instead of using #umu-runner

Finished the #ThemeParkWorld #Lutris installer this evening (not yet greenlit on Lutris.net).
https://codeberg.org/Natanox/lutris-installers/src/branch/main/Theme%20Park%20World%20-%20Sim%20Theme%20Park

US version ("Sim Theme Park") coming next, should be just slightly different file paths.
#GamingOnLinux #SimThemePark

Now that I've settled on #Debian / #Gnome, and I've gotten #Scrivener working (because #Lutris was kind enough to create an automated installation), I'm finding my computer is... just a computer. It just works.

Ho hum.

Strong recommendation, even for those who didn't play the game as a child. It's very chill, however the remastered missions can get a little bit harder over time.

Works out-of-the-box with #Lutris on #Linux, just add it to a collection on itch.io and add your #itchio account to Lutris.
