Debian has all the updated packages one needs for gaming just as well as the other distros.

Yes and no, but I agree with the overall sentiment. Debian is entirely fine for gaming.

People in this thread have very interesting ideas of what "shit hardware" is

Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of "I disagree!"

Both of your posts to this community are videos that were posted a few hours earlier. Should have a peek before you post.

My two suggestions are forcing a different proton version (you mention this, so im guessing you already have) and ensuring you have a 32bit opengl driver installed(package names will differ between distributions. Arch wiki has some info)

For troubleshooting, launch steam from a terminal and watch for errors on game launch/close

Tim Corey on YouTube has excellent beginner C# material. I would start there.

I feel like that can't be true, but I have nothing to disprove it

Better?

Are you sure they aren't overused? 😉

How does one qualify how much a language needs to be used?

Are you saying Rust is being used in places that you feel C/C++ should be used, and you don't think Rust belongs? Or maybe you are saying Rust is being used in places where C/C++ are not typically used, and you don't feel it belongs there?

The closest thing to context you've given is that you feel Rust has flaws (all languages do), and that Ada is perhaps safer. It's really hard to give any kind of answer without a properly fleshed out question.

Overused

What is the correct amount of usage? Why shouldn't people use the languages they want to?

EAC Seems broken on Arch? (lemmy.simpl.website)

I recently installed BattleBit Remastered on Steam (uses EAC). Upon trying to run the game, I only get as far as a screen telling me to ensure EAC is installed. I tried their "repair EAC" option in steam, and there was no change (a terminal opens, blinks, and closes again). I tried a system update to see if that would help, but no dice.

Now, when I try to launch Apex Legends (a game which I play all the time), I see EAC loading extremely slowly, then it goes away, but the game never launches (though Steam still shows the title as running).

Is anyone else having issues right now (with an up to date system)? Has anyone else experienced this before?

Edit: Decided to format my OS drive and move to Fedora. Using the same steam library, both games are now working. Clearly some package ended up misconfigured, but I have no idea what or why.
