It started with me manually downloading a mod and shoving the files into the Steam game directly.

Then I installed the windows version of Nexus Mods Manager using Wine and pointed it to the Skyrim in Linux Steam that runs as a Flatpak.

Yes, it is a dumb hack. But it works.

Sorry everyone. Ill try to do better, I promise.

I understand that.

I upvote insightful, educational or newsworthy content and downvote clickbait. Especially YouTube clickbait.

Way back in the late XX century.

Oh look, Netscape Navigator is back.

They used to say that every product evolves until it can send mail. In that sense, this is now a mature product.

Of course nowadays no product is finished without built-in LLM functionality, so I’ll wait for that

Inertia is an immensely powerful force.

You can and should use whatever OS fits your use case. Right tool for the job and all that.

What you should not do is post a clickbait video to trigger the penguins into giving you views.

Or you’re putting yourself in the director’s place.

That’s the way I mostly see movies now, and while it gives you a broader window over the whole movie it also removes some of the fun.

How often are you going to be managing ports?

Just use any tool you like, all they do is fiddle with the Kernel’s filter table.

We played Doom on MS DOS. It was hugely popular because it was a breakthrough for PC gaming. So nothing to do with Linux.

Yes, sorry, I always get them mixed up.

Use Audacity. You can even load all the old Winamp skins.

Hang on, that is a single player game? I now auto-discard AAA games up front because most of them are online multiplayer affairs with fancy in-game items to purchase and silly anti-cheat gimmicks that give Linux users a hard time.

I might look into buying this one, then.

My favorite way of reviving ancient 32 bit hardware is installing Haiku. It’s such a cool little OS, even if it can’t do all the tasks modern Linux can.

Xubuntu is still my distro of choice.

Removing snap and installing flatpak is two commands away.

Don’t forget there are services around that will copy your playlists from one service to another.

I’ve been using Tidal for a long time, and it has only gotten better.

They recently upgraded all tiers to high quality (better than CD) quality for free.

Meanwhile Spotify still doesn’t have the high quality audio tier they promised a few years ago.

This is the only game to have a permanent shortcut on my desktop.

I play it with some modern tweaks and mods. It’s a sure way to get my quick dose of gaming rush.

Once level up enough you’ll be writing a GRUB replacement yourself. Now that would be a massive achievement.

Achievement unlocked.

If you can fix it you unlock another one. If you manage to boot the system without using a rescue USB pen you unlock another one.
