From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

best supported emulator for sega consoles on ubuntu 23.10 (linux.community)

I use kega fusion on my ubuntu 23.10 to emulate sega's master system, game gear, genesis and cd. I don't need to emulate anything else. The problem with fusion is, it stopped being supported in 2009 and while the latest version is stable, there is no sound. Because it's not supported, I don't know where to ask for help.

if I execute 'kega-fusion' on the terminal I get:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:337:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so (/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I have this same sound issue with mednaffe. With mednaffe, however, controls don't even work.

Don't suggest retroarch: it seems to be a full suite that's too much for me and I enjoy fusion's minimalist approach.

Don't suggest MAME either, it's also a suite but the mouse reacts oddly and graphics look silly.

I'd also settle for a solution that gives me sound back with fusion.

A newbie using the latest version of the most popular Linux distro. Why does that surprise you?

Cutting Edge, Minimal testing, and Ubuntu has a history of bricking systems. The LTS is a lot safer.

A new guy wouldn't necessarily know the history of any distro, and a fair assumption to be made by them is to just jump in using the most recent version available, over something "two years old."

Has Ubuntu changed that much in the past 4 years?
