I don’t know the exact process, but I think its still based on the original, with the changes and additions on top of it. So it depends on the FreeTube team to keep up. I imagine its similar how the Firefox forks work, that still depend on the original Firefox.

Today I hacked my 2DS for the first time. This can be challenging to do, depending on how technical you are and how much experience you have in this field. The process is long and can be complicated, one has to be very careful and use commandline tools and so on. If you are unsure, ask a friend who knows this stuff to do this for you. Otherwise if you do something wrong, it could brick your system or you loose your data.

If “even an old Intel HD 770 can allegedly run the shader at well over 800 FPS at 1080p”, wouldn’t a modern bultin iGPU in the CPU enough to run at 240 FPS as an alternative to a dedicated GPU?

You could suggest it to the new fork. Maybe he implements it.

How is that a paradox? It’s like saying its a paradox that cameras on phone made it much easier to photograph and as a result, people make more photos. That isn’t a paradox, that is natural. Same for writing software.

And how do you come to this conclusion with a certainty, that you can say that in a forum? I don’t think he will, there is no evidence for that. Or does he have a bad track record?

Isn’t this a good thing? Similar to Valve, now the owner of GOG should be independent and not try to please share holders. He is the original founder, so its not like some random ex EA CEO or someone rich from Arabia or like that. Unless there is evidence, I give him the benefit of doubt and hope for the best.

And hopefully he will support Linux… but that is a bit of random thought.

You can think of the companies what you want, ruining it for the players is a no go to me.

I say always, if you can wait, then you probably don’t need it right now. Then wait. Otherwise, we don’t know much and how it will compare, and if its worth the price. So we cannot see in the future. If you are unsure, wait and see how it compares. If you need it badly now, just buy the current one.

Valve can count to 3.

SteamOS 3.

So its more a general question how to backup (with versioning) these files. I just always wondered what “manage” in this context meant. I don’t handle them differently than any other file to backup.

I don’t understand what to manage about dotfiles. You mean backups?

I don’t know if they said it, but if so, I can imagine they had some trouble with the publisher. And now the original developers maybe recommend not to purchase it. Just my guess if it is true.

I would have suggested too, but it requires Origin client and it must run in the background while playing. And requires an EA account on top of it. The game is rated Steam Deck Playable, so not really the best experience on the Deck.

Which is a shame, because the single player campaign is so nice. I don’t know if the online component still works.

The Winter Sale goes 8 days still, so you have plenty of time. Some games in example from EA and Ubisoft require additional launcher or an account to play them. I usually avoid them.

That’s why I don’t like closed source proprietary. They decide to stop the support.

“Brodie” mentioned. To be fair on the Arch side, they are clear the system could break with an update and you should always read the Arch news in case of manual intervention. You can’t fault Archlinux for users not following the instructions. This is pretty much what Arch stands for.

I understand the issue here. I just wanted make my intentions crystal clear, as you was not entirely sure. Although, I do not entirely agree. Why? Because it is in the right of not caring other what affects you. Unless someone goes out of the way trying to stop the “optimization” for low end hardware, its totally fine if someone says “I don’t care, it doesn’t affect me”.

I am against elitism too. In example on a different subject, but similar reasoning is emulation vs real hardware enthusiasts. Those people don’t like how easy we have access to expensive games and hardware (for free) and therefore they are against it. This is the definition of elitism. And this is a different issue than people with high end hardware not caring about low end hardware, because it does not affect them. Not caring is okay to me.
