Tangram is an interesting Linux web browser in c/linux@programming.dev

Looks similar to Firefox with Multi-Account Containers, but with a different browser engine (one that is not from Google). Maybe cool?

Anyone know if the save game files are compatible with the original?

On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31 in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

For reference, even Deban Stable has been at glibc 2.31 or newer for three major versions now, and another major version is on its way this year. I don't think this will affect many people.

Then whomever tested it "to death" wasn't particularly comprehensive. I speak from more than a little personal experience.

Of course it won't help in every case, nor did I claim it would. That's not the point, and your contrarianism doesn't help anyone. Good day.

Lots of people comment on this subject pointing out that some games don't run on Linux, and conclude that Linux is still behind Windows. This fails to recognize a distinct advantage that Linux has: More efficient use of hardware.

If your system doesn't have an especially fast SSD or lots of RAM, you might find that Linux gives a better gaming experience. It can often do more with less.

Edit to add: When I consider the fact that we're mostly talking about games designed and built just for Windows, I find this really damn impressive. And it just keeps getting better.

Anti-cheat is allowed. There are a handful of anti-cheat systems that can't work on Linux, but IIRC, they are in the minority.

The OGs like Wolf3D and Doom did not even have mouse support for aiming until much later.

I don't think this is true, at least not for the original PC Doom, but I don't have a record of it handy. shrug

You linked to https://lemmy.zip/c/BoardGameArena, which is usually fine, but sometimes causes issues for users who are not on lemmy.zip.

It takes (most) people away from their home instance, to another one where they are no longer logged in and their preferences are not applied. Better to use a ! link.
