It was always licenses on Steam, nothing changed in their ToS. Though there are some DRM-free games on Steam, even free from Steam-DRM.
A BLOB in an open source project usually indicates something proprietary. Does Ventoy really need this to function or just to speed things up? If it’s the latter, we don’t need this and community can probably take care of it in time.
I just wish GOG had regional prices like Steam does.

It says “EASY!” I’m convinced.
No problem and glad to hear. :)
Yes, I immediately noticed my mistake and deleted my comment right away but apparently it still can be seen somewhere. I always forget about to edit my comment before deleting. Curse of ActivityPub. :)
Should be correctly deleted now I hope.
Well, it still is OSS and one can still compile from source code. Or you can buy your binary. Never heard of Libresprite but looks fine if you absolutely want FOSS.
GIMP for most general stuff, Krita for painting and 2D animation, Aseprite for pixel everything.

The name really isn’t important. The name Linux is settled and people who use Linux eventually learn about GNU. In the end, I can use GNU components on Linux, BSD, MacOS and even Windows. So it doesn’t really matter for GNU, GNU is everywhere. That’s a real triumph, whether people know about it or not. They did it for humanity, not for their names.
You don’t have to use G-apps though.
That makes sense. Thanks for the detailed reply.
Though you could ask this to OP, they might try it. Personally I don’t use NTFS even on my external HDDs.
Huh, interesting. Didn’t know about mklink. So with this, can Steam games be used from NTFS directory?
Well, technically Steam expects a file system to act as a Linux file system. Since some features that Linux file systems support do not exist on NTFS, it doesn’t work correctly.
By the way, if you’re gonna use Proton for a game, you can backup and reinstall it by using that backup on Linux. You don’t have to download it again.
NTFS doesn’t support symlinks, so it doesn’t work correctly from NTFS partition. Also it is possible that you can corrupt those files on NTFS partition by doing that.
Basically don’t mix Windows stuff with Linux stuff when running programs. It’s okay for media.
They are not unanimous on everything, so probably no. However the racist and misogynist ones are a vocal minority. Like on everything, it’s a spectrum and it’s not wise to put all of them in the same category.
there’s not a higher ratio of positive reviews to hide the assholes?
I don’t think it works like anonymity and if they are the only ones who give negative reviews on a successful game, it would be easy to find them in all those positive reviews. It is possible that people who gave a positive review also mentioned that they are uncomfortable with these specs. You won’t see them if you only check negative reviews. I would say you can find both civil and assholes in anti-woke people. Same thing goes for the woke people as well. The problem here is, the ones who hold these debates on the internet are usually the assholes from both side. It’s crazy. I guess we have enough people here on Lemmy now since things are not so different from Reddit anymore.
That’s a good point. I probably missed that because I didn’t visit those forums. Usually these discussions go around with already bad games. I actually checked BG3 Steam forums now however couldn’t find those threads without searching. Perhaps it was a vocal minority? If a game is good, majority don’t care about these details or they don’t express their feelings even though they’re conservatives.
I guess it would be more fitting if I said “symptom of an ongoing debate” or something like that. But like I said, these conversations go around on already bad games. Maybe they being bad attracts these conversations since those people have a tangible indication, even though it’s actually not the real reason of it’s being bad.
If Veilguard flops, there will be a lot of reasons to list. Not sure if wokeness would make into top 10.
Yes I didn’t spend time in BG3 forums but from what I see on Steam reviews being 96% positive out of 500k people, I believe they are a minority.
Like Kichae mentioned, every media we buy is technically a license. License to use. However we own the physical part of it and we can use (read, watch, play etc.) it whenever we please. Should be like this with games as well. At least GOG does this. As long as an installer is in our hard drives, it’s a physical media.
