Bluefin/Bazzite/Aurora are immutable, atomic versions of Fedora. I’ll probably explain it wrong but they’re more secured than normal Linux flavors and you get several copies of your core system files, so when you inevitably fuck something up, you roll back to the previous version and undo your mistake.
I’ve only just moved over to Bazzite in the last 6 months or so, so I’m no expert, but it’s been a cinch to get most games running.
I don’t recall the names of them all. There were a couple I bounced off of like the House Party one and the platformer with insane controls.
There were a couple that stuck with me like the Bubble Bobble soccer one, the paint racer, Bushido Ball, and the one where you make a chain reaction to blow up demons and save pilgrims.
Camouflage/Chameleon got its hooks in me though and I cherried it in just a few sessions.
Yeah, I don’t buy from them anymore since Ziff Davis bought them. I wonder what kind of tax breaks they wrangled out of it.
It’s a goddamn synapsid you little shit!
Even if the game is a repack, you can add the installer EXE to Steam and it’ll run with Proton Experimental or GE, choose the install location, then add the resulting, unpacked EXE to Steam and it’ll run just fine.
I’m playing the “demo” and just met an elf companion who said something like “whoopsie! My gods are real and they’re going to destroy the world! 🤷” And it just undercuts the whole story.
Marvelization is the perfect way to describe it. There are zero stakes.
Origins had humor and snark, but it was mostly used in service of the story and themes.
DAO sets the tone during the harrowing when one Grey Warden candidate dies drinking Darkspawn Blood, then Duncan straight murders the other candidate when he freaks out.
Veilguard just seems saccharine and safe.
A few years back, I handed out candy for friends while they took their kids around the neighborhood, and a group of kids jokingly asked for potatoes. I obliged and grabbed them each a potato from the pantry.
When my friends came back, the potato house was apparently the talk of the kids in the neighborhood.
Not sure I’d have bought it on launch day but definitely early as long as reviews were positive and it ran okay in Linux.
I kickstarted the first one, so I’ve got no problem waiting until it’s on GoG or at least Denuvo-less on Steam.
Bluez seems to be the culprit. My wife’s computer runs Pop, has ver 5.64 and will pair just fine with my USB Bluetooth adapter and controller. Bazzite has ver 5.77.
The bluetoothctl scan on allowed me to pair the device, but it never shows up in Steam or other programs and will disconnect after a minute or so. According to this It may be an issue with the current bluez stack, so I’ll keep tinkering. It doesn’t help that “switch” “pro” and “controller” are all independently vague search terms and search engines are getting worse and worse at returning useful information.
It did work before on Pop, and I should have been clearer. When I put the Switch Pro Controller into pair mode and use the KDE Bluetooth module to connect a new Bluetooth device, it doesn’t even see the device. I am able to see and pair other Bluetooth devices without trouble.
I was going to familiarize myself with some terminal Bluetooth commands tomorrow and maybe dig up an old Bluetooth controller to see if it’s specific to controllers.
I have an 8bitdo controller attached and working fine, but it’s got a wired base station that uses 2.4ghz to communicate with. I’d just use the 8bitdo controller, but it doesn’t have a gyro that I need for certain games.
Edit I was able to solve this by using ‘bluetoothctl scan on’. It made the device appear in the KDE Bluetooth settings panel and it paired like normal.
I recently switched to Bazzite from Pop! and cannot get my Bluetooth to see my Switch Pro controller. It works fine wired, I can connect other devices via Bluetooth, the controller will connect other computers fine.
I’ve tried two different USB Bluetooth adapters on USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports on the front, back and on the extra USB port on my keyboard. I’ve rebooted, restarted the Bluetooth service, and googled the hell out of it, but most problems I’ve seen are from years ago before Linux officially included the Pro controller driver in the kernel.
I think the story was that he had disappeared from friends and family for a few months prior.
