RTS recommendation in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] lal309@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I would like to take this for a spin although I see two install methods, flatpak and appimage? Any recommendations here? Seems like both are on par as far as versions go

Makes much more sense now

What do you mean by micro?

RTS recommendation (lemmy.world)
 

What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam

Alternative to ClamAV? (lemmy.world)
 

TL;DR - What are you running as a means of “antivirus” on Linux servers?

I have a few small Debian 12 servers running my services and would like to enhance my security posture. Some services are exposed to the internet and I’ve done quite a few things to protect the services and the hosts. When it comes to “antivirus”, I was looking at ClamAV as it seemed to be the most recommended. However, when I read the documentation, it stated that the recommended RAM was at least 2-4 gigs. Some of my servers have more power than other but some do not meet this requirement. The lower powered hosts are rpi3s and some Lenovo tinys.

When I searched for alternatives, I came across rkhunter and chrootkit, but they seem to no longer be maintained as their latest release was several years ago.

If possible, I’d like to run the same software across all my servers for simplicity and uniformity.

If you have a similar setup, what are you running? Any other recommendations?

P.S. if you are of the mindset that Linux doesn’t need this kind of protection then fine, that’s your belief, not mine. So please just skip this post.

Is anyone using Debian Sid for gaming? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] lal309@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Very valid points. Since the RedHat announcement, I’ve migrated all my home servers to Debian so I thought “why not switch over my gaming rig as well”. As I thought about which district to use I came to the realization that I don’t want another situation where I’m using a distro based on another distro and that other distro decides to do something that affects the distro I’m using and blah blah. So then that leaves me with using the base (Debian, Arch, etc.) to avoid what I just mentioned.

I’ve been using Linux for quite some time so I can usually handle some break/fix. I haven’t tried Linux Mint yet but again, I rather just go straight to the base and go from there.

Still want to read your post tho. I’ve got Sid setup and ready to go and I do want to see how much breakage it introduces as I continue to use it. If it’s a bit too much, I’ll give stable a try.

This looks like a detailed write up. I need to sit down and digest this information (currently out and about). I’ll come back to you with questions I’m sure.

Is anyone using Debian Sid for gaming? (lemmy.world)
 

Well I’m hopping around… again. I thought I had a good stable setup going but then something happens upstream that goes against what I want/believe in (looking at you RedHat) and I’m back on the hunt again.

I thought about trying out a Debian based distro but then I thought “why don’t I just use Debian itself (Sid, not stable/Bookworm)”.

Most if not all gaming software have a way to be installed on Debian so I don’t think that could be an issue.

Is anyone else using Sid? Am I missing something by not going with a gaming focused distro??

Is anyone able to play Cyberpunk on Nobara? (lemmy.world)
 

Basically I was able to play Cyberpunk on my Nobara setup (N37, KDE, Nvidia 10180ti, Intel i5 CPU) but everything went sideways when I upgraded from kernel version 6.2.14-300 to 6.3.5-201 (and still have issues despite several upgrades since then and now on 6.3.12 I think).

If I switched back to 6.2.14-300 I was able to play but since there has been a few upgrades since, I no longer have 6.2.15-300 as an option at start up.

The game launches but it stays on a black screen, no audio, no visuals just the cursor. I’ve reinstalled the game and nothing. Switched from X11 to wayland and nothing.

I can’t remember which nvidia driver version I have right now but it’s the latest in the Nobara repos.

Game was installed through Lutris and worked great prior to the upgrade.
