Check your DMs

My man! 🤝

I don’t need any details.

It seems this particular game key can only be activated on MS store as it’s not a GOG key :(

If you are willing to activate the game on MS, I can DM you the key.

Can you write to Mojang as ask for a account migration?

I remember that i made a separate MS account only for Minecraft specifically for this reason.

Keeping the giveaway alive for another day. Given away some of the games. Please check your DMs everyone.

Do you have a Microsoft store account?

Also, it has controller support (slightly dodgy though)

Two shinies! Super lucky!

I think yes. But only GOG and Epic. There are some Amazon specific games. They might have some DRM.

Only one per user unfortunately. I’ll assume you would want Mafia II then.

Most of the time, the package is available on the standard package manager which makes the process extremely simple. Hardest part is knowing the package name. If you know apt search, you don’t even have to search on the browser to find the package name. But certain packages are only available as tar.gz or as source. But those are usually not encountered by newbies.

If someone is using Nix, they generally don’t have trouble finding packages. Also, Nix has more packages compared to AUR.

To your conscious brain, it might seem like 4 steps. But we are doing a lot more in reality because install process is second nature to us (Because of several years of usage).

If you tell someone who has never used a Windows PC to install a software and my list is more accurate.

winget is everything which Windows fanboys are against. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic (terminals ftw). However, I remember people often smirked about the fact that in Linux you have to type commands to install something and the GUI method is much superior.

The only reason I could not use bazzite was because i was trying to make it into a work PC as well (making/compiling git repos). I could use the built-in distrobox but was becoming a bit of a hassle. So switched to Nobara.

However, bazzite works great on my ROG Ally.

I have been using Nobara and Bazzite, both Fedora spins, and they are working great.

If anyone wants a great terminal bluetooth manager, use blutuith (https://github.com/darkhz/bluetuith)

How to install an application on Windows

• You hear about some application
• You google the application name
• You get a bunch of links
• You click the first one (and hope it’s valid and not hijacked by malware ads)
• You scan the webpage to find the correct download button (and hope it’s not an ad link)
• Download the application
• Double-click the application.exe
• Windows UAC pops up which you have to allow
• Install start and you click next, next, next (You hope the installer does not change your homepage or install some browser toolbar)
• Installation finished

Windows is so much easier /s

but them all collaborating on a common base project from which they each can still produce their own spin

This is viable because this has already happened in gaming.

Lutris, Heroic, Bottles use this in their backend.

Fabric servers can even run on RPi (within reasonable parameters) and it has nice documentation.

Pro-tip: Use docker to maintain your Minecraft server. Much easier.

Something which is entirely cloud means the application is accessible from the browser. Cloud based could mean portion of the application is on the cloud. This is the technical answer.

But if an application requires cloud to function properly, it’s practically a cloud app.
