    1. You’ve got Black and White working? I’ve smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
    2. The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes “Windows” ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive…) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd “patch” for your application ;)

  • Well … I first got into contact with OpenSource due to Gratis: OpenOffice, Firefox etc. Combining my knowledge of OpenSource with my tendency to break stuff (Reinstalling Boston for the nth time) led me to Linux which I first tinkered with and soon fully adapted.

    I had a short hopping phase where I went from Ubuntu (my starter) via Debian (accidentally tried stable) to Arch.

    Stuck with arch on my personal machines now run Ubuntu for my work machine and Debian for Servers.

    My favourite distro is the right tool for the job (see above) but I’m pretty happy with Arch



  • Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are

    systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failed To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.

    On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is “up and running” just by systemds status



  • This. So much.

    The Martian was the first and to this date only book that I’ve read and, when I was finished, decided to re-read right away.

    Love all Andy Weirs stuff. I’ve read the Martian four to five times now (lost count) I’ve also read Artemis twice and am currently re-reading Project Hail Mary.

    Even when you know the ending the way there is still always fun another time.

    Also I’ve re-read the Dirk Gently books since I just love Douglas Adams



  • It’s funny because when you described your problem I also knew immediately what the issue was since I remember turning that setting on for my gaming PC back when steam play was new (been gaming on Linux exclusively since 2016).

    But for the life of me I can not remember turning on that setting on my steam deck. I must have since it works with all games but I really can’t remember switching it on.
