Check out distrobox. It’s a way to have a Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro) container and allows you to install Ubuntu packages, even desktop applications.
It works great for when you need to install a random .deb file or follow a very Ubuntu specific step by step procedure. I use it exactly for this kind of stuff.
No rebooting needed, integrates fully with the host system, no virtual machine either.
DLSS works fine on Linux, but I don’t know about frame generation and ray reconstruction specifically. It could be those two don’t work yet.
Yes, this game is like that. This game also has more in depth simulation and mechanics, but it’s way less accessible.
One major difference is that RimWorld has a narrator AI that will make up events for your colony to experience, while dwarf fortress tries to simulate a world and the events are most of the time the result of the world simulation.
This makes RimWorld more gamey, meaning dwarf fortress can kind of get stuck in weird or bad situations, and men in black won’t magically show up to save your colony. But for many players that’s part of the charm!
I am very excited about the performance improvement, especially on ultrawide and steam deck. Also looking forward to the native Linux port! That should be pretty close now, Tarn said they got it to compile and run.
Awesome. I am waiting for that before diving back in the game. Also hoping my old fort from when the steam version was just released gets a nice fps boost
Why did you stop using it?
I have been using for years on servers. My lemmy instance is hosted on it.
Although for desktop I had too many issues back in 2019 so I ended up back to Arch Linux and then EndeavourOS
Would be fun to try again to use it on desktop
I also run a self hosted instance so I would be interested in a bot that stays subscribed to communities I want “synced” into my instance without me also being subscribed
Like markipol@beehaw.org said (sorry I don’t know how to mention users yet) in the other comment, this can be resolved without centralization.
For example “unions” of communities could be made that are the equivalent of a multi reddit. They would group together posts across all major “technology” communities into one feed.
Then anyone from any instance can engage via comments. Making a postswould require choosing to which of the communities iin the union to post to because each one would have its own moderators and rules.
Users would subscribe to the union to see technology contents across all technology communities.
Any user could create a union on any instance so major instances would have their own unions that include content from other major instances that they are in a good relationship with.
Would this not resolve the problem while keeping it decentralized?
I played over two hundred hours of the steam version on Proton 8
