What can I do in other Linux distros that I can't do in Linux Mint Xfce?
  • If you feel like you need/want software from AUR you should check out Distrobox. It can run any distro on top of your installation using Docker under the hood, but it tightly integrates into your system so with little effort you can run AUR programs from your launcher as if they were natively installed on your Mint.

  • Transferring Dreamcast VMU Save Files Just Got Even Easier | Time Extension
  • Cool project. The description here reads to and from Dreamcast VMU, but from what I've read on the Github page it's only to get them onto the Dreamcast, and not from. I'm still looking for a way to backup my physical VMU and to be able to continue playing on emulators.

  • need help installing fitgirl the sims 3 in lutris
  • I installed Fitgirl's Sims 3 + all DLC release using Bottles a week ago and it worked fine. I just had to make sure I didn't tick the box to install DirectX/.net (can't remember) as it will give an error during installation and fail. So I imagine in Lutris you can do the same, just install using the installer, instead of using a script. I can check later to see which runner I used.

  • Whats the best/cheapest email service to hook into?
  • I have started using Mailbox.org since about a year with several custom domains. Its around 3 €/$ per month for the basic tier which also includes some cloud storage and an online office suite (of which neither I use). I've been happy with it.

  • (not) shipping gaming PCs
  • Remember that prices in the US are before taxes (VAT) since they differ for each state and are calculated during checkout. I think I'd prefer to move -> buy than to buy -> move.

  • Random Screenshots of my Games #7 - Battlezone 98 Redux
  • Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn't become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

    I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don't think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn't like it that much.

    Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980's Battlezone. I've seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

    On a slightly different note, around the same time, Machines made by Acclaim got released which was an RTS where you could control any unit as an FPS. The name is quite unfortunate since Googling information about it is difficult. If you like Battlezone then then you might like this one as well.

  • no C6 state on 5950X

    I noticed yesterday that my 5950X never goes into C6 state, as Powertop only shows C0 C1 and C2. I know there have been issues with Zen and Zen+ regarding C6 states but it shouldn't be a problem from Zen2 forwards? I tried running zenstates --c6-enable but that didn't seem to work and I couldn't find any settings in the bios of my Gigabyte X570 Ultra.

    Is there a way to enable C6 states? I'm running Arch on the Zen kernel with ZFS modules. (I also notice the same behaviour on my Proxmox server which has a 5700X)
