@virgil_tibbs ich würde behaupten @linuxmint ist das quasi. Linux ist oft sogar leichter als Windows zu bedienen, z.B. beim installieren und updaten von Anwendung, wo es oft schwierig wird ist oft sobald man sich von den Standard wegen weg beliebt und z.B. die Kommandozeile oder irgendwelche Konfigurationsdateien durchwühlen muss.
Siehe gaming, mit #SteamPlay sehr leicht, über #Lutris Skripte - oder allein das man andere Anwendungen finden muss - schon schwieriger.

@grutzifix eigentlich funktioniert Gaming unter Linux heutzutage „PlugandPlay“. Bis vor ein paar Monaten war ich mit #archlinux unterwegs, das funktionierte tadellos. Mittlerweile habe ich #NixOS im Einsatz, das funktioniert genauso gut. Generell macht es Sinn für „nicht Steamspiele“ Wrapper wie z.B. #Lutris zu verwenden, für Steamspiele eben Steam. Je nach Grafikkarte, müssen für ältere 32 Bit Spiele auch die 32 Bit grafiktreiber installiert sein. Bei Mesa, heißen die „lib32-Mesa“.

Mmh…

So I made a fix for a #Lutris installer (NFS Porsche) and created a PR on the git of who made the first one.
It was rejected without any comment. Also said person seems to be completely inactive for years.

Should I just yolo it and take over the Lutris installer on Lutris.net? Said person didn't credit themself in the corresponding field, I just found them through the file download links. 🤔

The current NFS Porsche Unleashed installer will fail unless you got one specific version. #Linux

Disclaimer: I'm not a security researcher or even fluent in Python. Further analysis by more capable people very much welcome.

From my point of view this looks like an absolute fuck up by the #Lutris team. Requesting debugs for your tool while coding said tool to just throw *every* HTTP request into the log file no matter its content is just screwed up.

If you ever shared the #Lutris debug log (as requested by both the Forum as well as github issue page) while your #GOG account was connected:

You might've shared your secret API token publicly.

The Lutris logs seem to NOT hide *any* personal information in debug logs' HTTP requests. Including your private refresh token.

If you ever shared a Lutris debug log, de-auth sessions and change passwords immediately.

Gentoo offers bootable QCOW2 images for cloud deployment, without the need for manual installation:
ostechnix.com/bootable-gentoo-
(That's actually pretty cool, I could imagine beginner friendly distros like Linux Mint doing the same - but maybe with VirtualBox or VMWare images, because Windows users are probably more familiar with those - so they can try out Linux without the installation and then if they like the experience, they will be more motivated to learn how to install it on bare metal.)
