No, it’s for running games on Linux. Steam will probably use the libs as well for its own functionality. But the main use is for game developers to target specific libraries so that they are independent of the user’s distribution.
And they can indeed be used outside of Steam as well. I sometimes use it to link in specific libraries for other games. @Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it
SUSE’s Open Build System can build for basically all distros. If you’re up to the task you can use that to build packages.
The runtime is not Steam itself. That’s more or less independent from the runtime. The runtimes are a collection of libraries that developers can develop against without having to include them themselves.
Kind of similar to the Visual C++ Runtime on Windows.
If you can wait 3-4 months Valve’s Steam Machine is on the horizon. Depending on the prize that might be a good bargain.
But in the end it really depends on your budget. Excluding monitor, keyboard and mouse you can pay anything between 500 and 5000 dollars.
Similar to the smoke-button at the back of power supplies. This might not work in the US, I don’t know.
They’ll probably fire you. What will you do without a job!?!
It’s basically the sams way as in Lutris. But it won’t be integrated into Heroic. If you want entries for each game you will have to add them yourself. And the games still need the Battle.net launcher because of the DRM.
First download the Battle.net installer from Blizzard. In Heroic add a new game, call it Battle.net or whatever, select the Proton version shown in the post above and choose the option to run an installation program first. Select to run the installer you downloaded and that should install it.
Or torn apart from spaghettification
Shouldn’t happen with supermassive black holes because their event horizon is beyond the spaghettification limit.
That really isn’t a property of black holes but just gravity interactions between two massive objects. If the moon came too close to earth it would break apart due to similar effects of gravity at one side being much higher than on the other.
With objects like stellar mass black holes the effect would just be experiencable at human scales.
Now I’m hungry for spaghetti.
Ironic.
Most Lemmy images stopped working. And maybe what my server is showing me in terms of posts is just what it still has stored.
Edit: My server is actually much more responsive with most of the big Lemmy instances being down. I really hope 1.0 brings great improvements.
And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.
What are you zinking about?
It’s on many German sites. One of them the tech news site heise.de that regular reports on court rulings deeming the practice illegal.
There already are working plugins for that. When I @ a Lemmy community in a WordPress post it gets posted to that community. And comments from Lemmy or Mastodon are also visible on WordPress.
I’d say yes. If the volume becomes overwhelming new communities can easily be created.
Yeah, that remains to be seen. But they already have one mobile product and with the Frame that will soon be one and a half. And they definitely know the shady business practices that dominate mobile gaming, though I hope they manage to get away from that.
We have the semantic web now! Be better!

No, it is a per game setting. When your game is a native Linux game it will use one of the Steam runtimes. If you had a Linux native game and selected Proton instead of a Steam Linux runtime Steam would download the Windows version of the game.
With Linux native games you usually don’t have to touch this setting.
