That’s because every time you run a new program with Proton on Steam it creates a new Wine-prefix (fake Windows drive). So when you run the installed battlenet.exe it creates a new Windows environment where Battle.net is not installed.

But the installer is using the environment where Battle.net is installed and apparently it has a function to run Battle.net when it detects that it’s already installed.

Oh my, haven’t played Fallout Shelter in ages. I think I played until I hit the “pay or take ages” stage. I guess they removed that by now?

If you don’t want to go the Heroic route (you really should go the Heroic route) you can

1. download the offline installer from GoG
2. add the installer as a none-Steam-game to Steam
3. select Proton for compatibility
4. run the installer
5. add the installed game’s exe to Steam as a none-Steam-game
6. select Proton for compatibility

Trouble with that method is that Steam always creates a new Wine prefix (a kind of fake Windows drive) every time you run a new none-Steam-game with Proton. They can pile up and take unnecessary space away. It also makes it harder to install dependencies or mods or add ons.

So yeah, Heroic is the way.

Lemmy isn’t really a Signal/Messenger/Teams/Zoom application.

You could probably do this with FUSE. Guess nobody cared to make that yet.

Opencloud is a fork of the new Owncloud, I think. Similar to how Nextcloud was forked from the old Owncloud.

You can access all Nextcloud files over WebDAV. That is natively supported by many file browsers, including explorer.exe on Windows.

And you can choose in the Linux client what folders to sync.

What the Linux client (in contrast to the Windows client) does not support is having virtual files in a folder and only downloading files on demand.

Apart from that, have you looked at Opencloud?

I don’t think the RAM prices are going to go back down again any time soon. So there wouldn’t be any point in waiting.

At least for me the email did come eventually. It was just 30 or 60 minutes late.

Hell yeah, I remember playing the demo of the first one dozens of times because of the great graphics. I never managed to get anything done.

Other way around. Sunshine is the server, Moonlight is the client.

I started playing Earth Must Die. Pretty funny although I haven’t at the earth must die part yet.

I have this beautiful small case lying around here. It can passively cool up to 65 W. Since the Gabe Cube announcement I’ve been itching to revive it with new components. Unfortunately I lack the energy. But all this time it’s sitting there on the shelf, whispering to me.

On BTRFS you could use deduplication to make the prefixes take up approximately no extra space. But that requires you to run a deduplication program every once in a while.

Its compression feature can also save some space and decrease load times.

But the impact of this stuff isn’t that big. Much easier to just go ext4 and be done.

They can’t stop winning.

I hope the Steam Frame controllers will be sold separately. They have replaceable batteries and you’re not forced to hold your hands in one position.

You’re looking for Mcon (or however it’s spelled).

Just thought of something. When you press Ctrl+Alt+Escape your mouse cursor should change into a red skull and bones. Clicking on the invisible app should kill it.

This sounds like some invisible app is open and intercepting the clicks. If you can get into kDE’s settings configure it to always start an empty session and not start the same programs that were open when it shut down. Maybe you can get to that window by alt-tabbing.

I think there’s a Decky plugin that allows you to save the whole state of a game and suspend it. Kind of like save states for emulators. i never needed it but from what I hear it works well.
