Leave a text file along with your music including a donation link and thanking people for listening.

I've heard more than a handful of artists getting some money that way after putting their own albums up on torrent/file-share sites.

We need more glossy dark mode themes!

I had a similar blue & black theme through Windowblinds back on Win7 for a while.

I don't use Battle.net but I had a similar issue when using EA Desktop through Lutris. The program would demand a restart to apply updates then would just shutdown and say the same thing next time you ran it, if it even still ran.

My permanent fix was to use Bottles for EA Games and it's worked fine ever since then. Lutris works fine for everything else though.

EndeavourOS is what got me to daily drive Linux finally.

The installation is easy, it's got sane defaults and pre-installs most common dependencies.

As crazy as it sounds, some people only trust software backed by a large corporations.

Valve for the most part has extremely good will amongst the typical gaming crowd. While Linux as a whole doesn't.

I've tried to sell people on Bazzite before when they've brought up wanting SteamOS for the desktop, But I always get 'But it's not "REAL" SteamOS, just some random Linux devs clone'.

I agree it's the wrong way to go about thinking of it, Probably backed up very few people outside the Linux space understanding what a distro actually is. But it's still the general consensus among your average gamer sadly...

Still I'm hopeful an offical SteamOS release will be good for getting more people to try and explore the Linux space.

I dunno about you update issues, But one thing I have to point out is the Linux native version of BL2 is an outdated build so if you want to play co-op with Windows players you have to run it through proton.

Agree it looked more red to me, but light enough I get it if people remember it being pink.

It's a reference to a scene in The Matrix.

Not all the time, some mod creators lock their stuff behind a paywall. But also a few modders a while back started taking down their own mods official downloads so it was up to others to keep archives.

That's what a lot of people were using the ModPiracy subreddit for but it kept being taken down and migrating to new subs.

Awesome! thanks, I'm sorta living under a rock these days when it goes to video game news.

As someone who doesn't follow the Halo series, what is this? an older canned game or some new unreleased thing?

My personal experience has been hit n miss.

Was using one 4TB Seagate for 11 years then bought a newer model to replace it since I thought it was gonna die any day. That new one died within 6 months. The old one still works although I don't use it for for anything important now.
