woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!32·2 days agoYour personal bias against Flatpak is irrelevant to the lie that no stable development target exists.
It exists. That’s a fact, whether you like it or not doesn’t matter.
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!23·2 days agoLinux doesn’t have a stable target to develop against
That’s an often repeated lie. https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/available-runtimes.html
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll findsEnglish1·2 days agoSo Sweden will not join the Euro without a referendum, even though they don’t have an opt out.
Sweden is a member since before the Euro. That’s one of the special treatments pre-Euro member states get. A rejoining UK would be treated like a new member and better come into line.

The result is not a proper F1 26 car but something that looks like a lego model. This is the foundation for upcoming videos.
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!15·2 days agoI don’t even know where to begin troubleshooting it.
Not really your task, though. You are a paying customer and the developer needs to accommodate you, not the other way around. Easiest way should be that the developer provides a Flatpak version.
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll findsEnglish8·2 days agoWe could make EMU membership a condition for their EU membership
That’s already a condition. New members cannot opt out of the Euro once the criteria are met.

Disproportionate were Thatcher’s UK Rebate and other unfair opt-outs.
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!9·2 days agoIn a larger sense, I think supporting them would be supporting gaming on Linux as a whole.
Bottles and similar projects don’t develop the underlying technology, though. That’s Wine. Bottles is a front-end with a bunch of support scripts.
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!61·2 days agoWhy not just use the Linux version directly?
woelkchen@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!36·2 days agoI don’t know how much of the 3 million installs I represent but I installed it, found the whole process to create a bottle an unnecessary hurdle and didn’t see any functional benefits over the five or so alternatives that also aim to make Windows software compatible with Linux. The Gnome headerbar UI also is alien on both game and desktop modes of SteamOS.
So I uninstalled it.

woelkchen@lemmy.worldOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Romero Games Update (July 7, 2025)English12·8 days agoYeah, it sucks for the people who lose jobs. OTOH after the ABK takeover, Microsoft was suddenly by far the biggest games publisher and no regulatory body had any problems with it. Now Microsoft’s own incompetence is taking care of that.

Then you use different applications than I. For me X alone only works sometimes. It’s not like I made the shortcut up. It’s literally what Valve is documenting:

Although not ready for texting yet,2·8 days agoHuh? The default desktop shortcut for it is just X.
X alone doesn’t work in many text boxes of desktop apps.

No way for me to tell without any such information.

That’s why future ChromeOS won’t be a dedicated OS with an Android running in a VM. They’ll be actual Android.
