It’s only half an hour at 2x

For linux users, you can add it to Steam as a nonsteam game for proton support and add the .NET 8.0 runtime environment using the explorer app in protontricks. It runs great via that method.

Gimme an ASCII character for it. We can replace the bitcoin character with it

Are we talking anarcho-capitalist, anarchist, or some third option? Because since Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged, the meaning in the US has been a bit shakey.

For an idea of US libertarians, most people think of "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear"

This is even more relevant to Digimon. I have no idea of whether their file format is supported, or how digiworld differs on OS’s. I’d have to guess it’s some type of web protocol? Dunno…

Edit: dug back into my childhood, the Digiworld is stored on a cluster of servers, so those are pretty likely going to be some flavor of linux. Local PC client applications are used for storing Digimon locally IIRC, and we also see in this clip that it appears that the guys are using windows 95 or something similar.

Still alot of questions but

Peanut

My knowledge of Cyrillic is fleeting, and I’m mostly going off Wikipedia pages, so I hope someone who actually knows Russian can answer better.

The main Cyrillic Wikipedia page says that is the acute accent (check the Diacritics section). It says it marks stress on a vowel. I don’t know what that means though, so that’s as far as I can help.

‘Ya’

Fun Fact: I believe that one running hypothesis relating to the origin of the Indo-European Languages traces its lineage back to the Yamnaya culture. ‘Yamnaya’ in Russian (‘Я́мная’) translates to “relating to pits”, because some of the most noteable artifacts of this culture are their pit burial sites.

I’m still reading about them atm.

SO THAT’S WHERE CHANTS OF SENAAR GOT THAT

Addendum: I fuckin loved so many aspects of playing through that game. If you haven’t tried it, a full playthrough is only 5 or 6 hours and it’s a really awesome puzzle game experience. Since it’s a language discovery game, it plays like a mystery game, which is really fantastic.

Wait, how’s it got a keyboard? What are all the modifications here? This is nuts.

And steamdeckOS… whenever valve decides they’re gonna release it for general use.

That is some fair criticisms mixed with some things that are unfortunately not tackleable by linux devs. Arch is more a toy for configuring IMO; you lose alot of productivity up front getting it set up. I can’t really speak for Wayland.

I’ve also been a fan of using Voicemeeter Banana, since it allowed me to output to both my speakers and headphones simultaneously, but only binding the audio control buttons to my headphones. Currently nothing like that functionally exists on linux that I’ve been able to find yet.

Nvidia has historically dragged its feet when providing support for its GPUs, and I definitely noticed alot of issues when running an Nvidia GPU back in the day, though I can’t speak for how much of that is explicitly Nvidia and how much that’s linux Dev lag.

Discord is even worse. It was news to me when switching back this year, but Discord has altogether stopped maintaining audio for game streaming. It’s closed source, though, so there’s nothing that can really be done about it. Overall, a not insignificant blow for gaming on linux.

I still get bad vibes from PopOS and have steered clear of it because of it. I would recommend you try Linux Mint at some point, since I’ve had a good experience with it and I regularly see others who equally recommend it.

Dive in!

Do you mind mentioning the others you’ve tried and what snags you hit?

I’ve worked with Arch, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and SteamOS, and I would say that while arch and Ubuntu can have a learning curve, Linux Mint is on par with SteamOS in usability.

The battery failing makes sense to me. I imagine that’s the easiest thing to replace non-conventionally - especially since you can hand-swap batteries on fairphones. I think it’s possible I could find an aftermarket battery of similar parameters.

Past custom ROM support: could I build a linux ROM for it? Is that something reasonable to aim for?

I didn’t know you could fix a failed CPU, that’s surprising news to hear. What’s that usually entail?

Could replacing the memory on the motherboard be possible/feasible with a standard hot-air rework setup?
