BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS

Yes it can

No, lead dev is marcan. Asahi Lina is a vtuber who had reverse-engineered Apple GPU and wrote the driver for it (in tandem with Alyssa Rosenzweig)

Asahi Linux is the "have linux run on apple M series CPUs" project

If the game relies on 32bit libraries, IIRC macos dropped the support for those? And there's a lot of games that rely on 32bit.

So if one really cannot play 32bit games on macos then yeah. If the game doesn't do anything fancy with OpenGL, and is using OpenGL, then I think that it'll run great.

I wanna do Mesa because of Lina

The brain however does not want to cooperate (it wants to defrag)

Oh, I missed that! Thanks for clarification!

edit: looks like four versions, from 1.18 to 1.21

"An entire OS" - that is NixOS. Nix (package manager / build system) can and is often used standalone, on other Linux distributions, and by some on MacOS.

I cannot vouch for ease of use of Nixpkgs' Go building facilities, but at the very least it should be possible to create a necessary environment for development and compilation of a package. Nix guarantees that it is going to be reproducible.

The main downside of using Nix would be that the declarative approach is different from the imperative one - AFAIK, there is no command to just add something to the environment (nix-shell -p does not count as it is a temporary env without a pinned Nixpkgs, so isn't reproducible). The second would be that Nixpkgs seems to only have one version of Go and Co. at a time, so if one needs an older version of something they need to find an older version of Nixpkgs.

edit: as I have looked up, there are actually four versions of Go - "go" is 1.20, and "go_1_*" gives 1.21, 1.19 and 1.18 (on unstable Nixpkgs). I don't know about other pieces of the environment though.

The bottom part is supposed to say "both do"

"do" is overloaded in English, and the translator had picked the "doing something" meaning. For RU, it would be better to use "both are bad" or "both", which would be "Оба плохие." and "Оба.".

Most of Steam games rely on Proton for support. You need to enable it in Steam's settings, under Steam Play.

You can check how well a game runs on protondb. Some games may require additional steps to be playable (using a specific version of Proton, installing something), protondb reports most of the time include required information.

Since the regular points have already been covered by other people, I'll add one thing that I like:

Two batteries. The external one is drained first, and it can be replaced while the laptop is running, because there's an internal battery. I have 24Wh internal, a 16Wh external (it's old, originallly it was 24Wh) and 72Wh external, in a 12 inch laptop (achievable because 72Wh battery sticks out and acts like a stand), giving me more battery life than anything else without an external power bank.

And I got mine for dirt cheap.

There are more movies like this. Movies that promote perversion of Great Patriotic War, USSR and nazism. BadComedian also reviewed these two films (this one has RU subtitles, you can enable translation to EN) which promote orthodox faith as an important factor for winning. The second one even has... SS officer shaking hand with Soviet soldier and in a different momet had said "I will not kill you brother". Do I need to say how vile this all is? Oh, there is also a movie that is straight up pornographic. And, just to add a cherry on top, these films are actively promoted on state media, and sometimes are sponsored by "Cinema Fund of Russia", which is spending tax money.

These movies are not about the Great Patriotic War.

edit: another one, with EN subtitles proper. I recommend watching it whole, but the moment at 17:25 should be enough to clarify what I mean by "perversion".

Watched this some time ago. BadComedian is a film reviewer. The video is split into two parts, first being a review of a film "Marie, Save Moscow", and the second is about the narrative that is being promoted in RU mass media - Ivan Ilyin and Ivan Shmelyov are being shown in good light, "faith allows people to win", and so on. The film is about, and I am serious here, how "cold blooded communist woman" becomes "faithful and kind" through ortodox christianity. English is hard, I will expand the comment later.
