This looks like an impeccably good idea. I’m sure nothing can go wrong.

Well I’m glad I made that comment because now I know there’s ways to do this that aren’t Microsoft related. Looks like I have some text editor experimentation to do.
If I fill a steel thermos with water and put it in the fridge, the water still doesn’t dry out even after months. I don’t know what that proves but I bet scientists will figure it out. I’ll be awaiting my Nobel Prize.
I’m a die hard Microsoft hater. I haven’t had windows installed on a pc in years. With that being said I use visual studio code because it’s kind of the only text editor that does code completion in the capacity that it does. I can take a class name, type a “.” after it and a scroll view opens up shows every accessible member of that class along with comments and information about all the variables. The amount of time this saves is so huge I don’t even know how you would quantify it. Nothing else has code completion that even comes close to being that good.
Do non visual studio code users just have to memorize every single function, parameter and return type in their code base? Yeah you can always read the documentation, sure you can always dig through the source code to figure it out every time you forget what data type a parameter is but that takes valuable time.
If they ever put visual studio code behind a paywall or stop making it for Linux, I’m going to be forced to either switch to windows (which I never will under any circumstances) or make a custom made ripoff clone of that entire intellisense code completion system and hack it into whichever open source text editor I deem is the next best thing.
I think there’s a “SKSE for Linux” you can download so that you get it in a separate launcher, but renaming the executable to whatever the original one is will result in that newly renamed executable getting run when you press the play button. This approach works for Skyrim and Starfield but probably others as well.
SKSE works in Linux. I manually install each mod. It’s a pain in the ass but I imagine still less of a pain in the ass than dealing with mod managers. I don’t know who’s teaching new programmers to make their side projects in such a way that it only works on windows but it’s stupid and lame. It’s not as bad as it used to be but there’s always outliers that pop up such as Starfield xedit. You can put your ui in an opengl window. You can use python with wxwidgets. Java has good gui stuff. There are a multitude of ways to do ui besides Microsoft’s bloated toolchain.
The real question is: did it work?
I use ipv6 when possible but it’s rarely possible. I’ve never had home internet that was ipv6 ready enough for my wan address when googling “what’s my ip” to be something besides an ipv4 number.
Could I get ipv6 over otherwise non ipv6 compatible hardware using a vpn?
I wonder what would happen if you tried to run a soundblaster 16 on Linux. Would it work and how shitty would the sound quality be?
Another part of it is the gpu bios. The gpu bios contains x86 opcodes that it expects the host system to run for gpu-specific functions like video mode switching and probably lots of other stuff. I know that Vesa bios extensions mode switching requires a pointer to the functions in the gpu bios which the cpu runs. I tried to make a platform independent Vesa driver one time and couldn’t figure out how to circumvent using the gpu bios for it since the functions you’re supposed to call are compiled for x86. Even the well-refined projects like Seabios still rely on the VBE pointers for non-legacy video modes.
Legacy vga does also has a bios but it’s relatively not that difficult to circumvent using the bios on legacy vga cards, only issue is that legacy vga modes are mostly useless.
I think there’s a newish way of doing this stuff that doesn’t involve Vesa or legacy vga but I don’t know what it is. This I’m sure is only one of the many problems that have to be overcome if someone wanted to hack a 1080ti onto a raspberry pi or something.
I don’t want arm or risc v to replace x86 unless we still get to have motherboards with upgradable cpu sockets. And ram slots. And gpu compatible pcie slots. None of the current players are going to give us anything like that.
I’d be happy if they even sold hobbiests loose chips so we could figure it out ourself though. The arm and risc microprocessors on mouser are like the bottom of the barrel leftovers after the corpos have had their pick.
What would be the possibility of there someday existing arm or risc v boards with pci-e slots that can take graphics cards? I don’t know that steam even lets developers make a arm linux version of their game or not, but in theory you’d be able to play open source compilable stuff from github.
I installed void linux which I guess defaults to wayland and everything ran like crap until I switched to x11. Have fun with that.
I got far enough to figure out that the game takes forever because of the 10 year peace treaty period (which they added for balance).
Almost all video games are puzzle games because you have to figure out how tf to play them. I had to study for a while before understanding Stellaris.
Wow if you don’t have a vpn you’re fucked these days.
Nothing says land of the free like porn being illegal in half the states.
There was this editor that let you make esm files. I can’t remember if it was already in the game folder or you had to download from steam but it must not have been hard to set up. I remember using it to make one of the buyable houses really big on the inside.
Starfield could have been a way better game if all they did was fuck it up like 45% less. They could have alternatively just delivered on their promises of making the game easy to mod and let the community handle the rest but they fucked that up too. Only the most dedicated of Starfield fan would have the patience to sit down and do all the shit it takes to add a new quest for example. Iirc even Skyrim came with a mod editor with ui that was easy to understand. Right now all we have is a community xedit project that’s somehow even harder to run on Linux than Starfield is.
When I’m broke and homeless I’m going to follow those videos step by step to recycle batteries. My apocalypse wilderness shelter is going to have electricity it’ll be sick.
