  • Ah, seems you’re partially correct - steam has a command for downloading a specific depot version. You need to know the specific ID to download, and notably games can use multiple depots to form the game files, but I thought you needed to use something like SteamCMD or DepotDownloader for that.

    I’m still upholding the fact that it’s not a “proper” feature, while I appreciate having those kind of utilities put in the user’s control, this isn’t something most people could figure out themselves.


  • It’s not like they have to create the compatibility layers from scratch; Valve did it for them.

    I do just want to point out, Valve didn’t do that - Proton is mostly just pre-existing software that they packaged together into an officially supported feature. I love that they did it, and having it in the biggest PC game platform presumably did wonders for Linux gaming, but it was most certainly not made from scratch.





  • Archlinux is good if you accept that you’ll need to spend time to learn it, and that those moments might be frequent and unavoidable early on. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to somebody who needs their computer to work, since a new user with no experience might find themselves breaking their boot images and spending hours trying to figure out how to fix their computer not booting.

    So yeah, I think that’s an important caveat: if you don’t know Linux already, and you can’t afford to spend time learning and fixing your system, don’t use Arch.





  • Since your issue is specifically wanting GUI, I’d recommend installing something like pufferpanel or pterodactyl/pelican, which give you a browser interface for running game servers. Pterodactyl/pelican is more popular, has more features and supports more games, while pufferpanel is simpler/lighter and easier to make your own templates for.


  • Eh, just from the picture it looks like a normal margherita. If there’s something wrong, I don’t think it’s coming across on the picture. Are you maybe thinking of, like, specific regional styles, like using fresh wet mozz in splotches?

    That said, I can also imagine a big pizza chain probably doesn’t shine with its plain pizza, but if I’m already ordering from a big chain, I see nothing wrong with eating that!
