• Wine 9.9 (Dev) – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS

  Plenty of older games only seem to work with certain versions of Proton/Wine, DXVK etc. There are projects like Bottles which let you manage multiple Proton distributions https://usebottles.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

• Steam deck pirated games

  If it need installation (or has some kind of wizard), probably look into UseBottles and once installed, link the .exe to Steam. Source: 6 months ago

• How do I install direct X on wine SIMPLIFIED

  Bottles is very convenient to manage wine https://usebottles.com/. Source: 6 months ago

• Making the switch - what are the gaps?

  For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you... Source: 6 months ago

  Bottles is great for old classic non-steam games. I haven't tried 🏴‍☠️ with it but I can't see why it wouldn't work. Source: 6 months ago

• Popover API

  This doesn’t sound right at all. Ubuntu itself doesn’t have an ESR package, only https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/firefox which is at 125. The Mozilla PPA does have an ESR package, but per https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=focal it’s at 115. has been supported since Firefox 98, meaning ESR 91 was the last release lacking it, and it reached end of support... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

  I agree, but I think that model of GPG is not how it's used any more. I think nowadays people upload a one-shot CI key, which is used to sign builds. So you're basically saying "The usual machine built this". Which is good information, don't get me wrong, but it's much less secure than "John was logged into his laptop and entered the password for the key that signed this" So, you're right, that GPG verifies... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  You can use https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/, but that's no official Mozilla repository. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  As a user of the PPA packages (https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), now I'm confused. Are these the same packages? Should I switch? I'd have appreciated at least a mention in the article. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try Out Mozilla's .deb Package

  There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done. I think I used this guide: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 Though what that doesn't tell you is that the snap... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
