overview for crtbob

I bought a Steam key for the game Hi-Fi RUSH from Fanatical today after reading numerous reviews and reports from proton.db, only to find that the game just does not launch. I press PLAY in Steam and all it does is change the PLAY button to CANCEL. I have tried forcing numerous different versions of Proton, adding -safe or -dx11 to advanced startup options, and updating all packages and the kernel, but it still does as described before.

OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64

Kernel: 5.15.0-88-generic

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (16) @ 3.400G

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Lite Ha

Memory: 16GB

What should I try to get the game running? Are there any better places i can ask this? Any help would be appreciated.

Unable to add custom wine prefix for proton experimental. (self.lutris)

I'm currently trying to get BeamMP (Multiplayer mod for BeamNG.drive) running on Linux Mint through Lutris following this guide, but I am stuck at this part:

Option for the starter

Wineversion: Proton - Experimental

I set Wine version (under "Runner Options") to custom and then set Custom wine executable to "/home/bob/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental" Did I do it right? I press launch on the game in Lutris and then the launch button changes to "Launching..." but never actually does anything. To be clear, the only two options under Wine Version are Wine and Custom. This is also my first time using Lutris, so i don't have a great idea of what i'm doing. If there's a better place on Lemmy to ask this question, please let me know. I'm going to try posting this on the Lutris forums later as well.

Google extends Chromebook lifespan to ten years in c/technology

Never thought I'd see the day when Google extended the lifespan of a piece of hardware.

How many browser extensions would be considered the "safest" ? in c/[email protected]

Having more extensions makes your browser fingerprint more unique, making it easier to tell you apart from other users.

Are these (in desc) browser extensions safe? and are there any safe, free opensource vpn extension for the browser? in c/[email protected]

I'm going to assume you're using Firefox based on the 5th extension you mentioned.

As for the adblockers, I wouldn't install multiple as they can conflict with each other and cause issues. I and many other people use uBlock Origin as it is very customizable and you can add your own filters and blocklists to essentially block anything you want. I'm not sure if it works with YouTube though, as I use Invidious.

As for the others, I've used YTNS, CAD and Search by Image previously without any issues. I've never heard of the rest though.

For a free VPN, the only one I'd trust is ProtonVPN. Most others are either running some sort of scam, or are very unreliable. Their Firefox add-on is terrible however, and requires that you are subscribed to a paid tier, so you'd have to set it up in a different way.

If you're ever concerned about the privacy/security of a piece of open source software, there are tools available that can scan through the source code and check for tracking or malware. One of the great things about open source is that, if you know what you're doing, you can modify the source code yourself to suit your own needs.

Edit: Fixed broken links (I hope)
