or... i could just run steam on my existing desktop computer rather than getting an extra one that I can't use for other apps?

when SteamOS makes it into the annual 'linux sucks' presentation, then I'll know it has arrived

kepstin-laptop, ofc you could, some people just want to buy a complete console

sure, but that means i'm not the target market of steam machines

Leo_Verto: that implies you're willing to think about where you run your games if you already have a pc that's capable of running steam

and I don't think the hardcore gamers will simply still assemble their own pc because they'll be upgrading it all the time anyways

kepstin-laptop, nope, you still benefit from them because everything that runs on SteamOS also runs on steam for linux :D

s/don't//

ofc the hardcore gamers and people like me and you will continue building their own PCs, but a linux distro will actually become a legit option for them

a lot of people don't switch because of one or two games

with publishers and devs being interested in the steam machine market, more and more games will be ported

Leo_Verto: so now you have a few more gamers on linux, how does that make windows die relatively soon?

Linux as a platform is going to become more attractive in general

And honestly, Windows is only the most used desktop OS because it came first

macos predates windows

windows is the most used desktop because bill gates got it bundled with generic pcs

and apple wanted hardware market share

mhm, the IBM deal

I'm still with kepstin-laptop there, the linux userspace is not as great as many people say it is (not only regarding security)

still a whole lot better than the proprietary, insecure mess windows is

i mean, i love my linux desktop systems. But i'm a software developer, somewhat involved in the creation and setup of said systems

security holes are being found and patched *all the time* in linux stuff

Leo_Verto: my parents don't care if linux is supposedly more secure

an unupdated linux system from a couple years ago might as well be windows xp

most embedded linux systems and linux phones (e.g. android) receive security updates either late or never

closed source means that there still are tons of exploitable issues slumbering deep inside windows

mhm, stuff like heartbleed and shellshock?

it also means that not everyone can just look at the source to find them :P

same is true of linux, just because something is open-source doesn't mean there's no security holes still in there

most of them are just called "bugs" tho

reosarevok: ever heard of something called a "chromebook"?

Mineo, people who want to exploit something are going to find holes either way

reosarevok: if you wait until you're middle-aged, that might actually happen :P

kepstin-laptop: did anyone buy those? :p

reosarevok: apparently.

security by obscurity is an outdated concept

the unfortunate thing is that a lot of linux stuff isn't really secure, but is only considered so because it is obscure.

whom do i enter as artist, when there is a composer and a performer? :D

performer

the artist credit should be the credited artist, and link the composer and performer with composer and performer relations.

STalKer-X: classical?

if you're talking about track artists on classical, theatre or soundtracks, there are more specific guidelines

Unrelated to all of it, but Peter Warlock is a pretty cool name to have

(https://beta.musicbrainz.org/artist/f4c98151-1c...)

yup

I honestly prefer to have a bit more power in a laptop

I mean, I once bought an OLPC lappy

I would also happily get a Chromebook if I had money to waste :p

But yeah

not a full-blown gaming laptop but enough for multitasking, a few dozen tabs in firefox and compiling stuff

yeah, that's why my laptop is pretty heavy compared to most other 14" laptops nowadays...

(fun fact: someone stole my OLPC laptop from my luggage in a Prague hostel at some point, but didn't take the macbook. wtf)

clearly they've used a mac before :P

hahaha

YEah, that's more likely than them having used an XO-1

(the thing was useless, but so cute...)

reosarevok not really.

Then yeah, just whoever is credited

here's a small cover: https://www.dvdsource.co.uk/cd_13492813

oh, there it is on amazon.

what should be the correct title?

xo-1? http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/images/cc109-1XO-1...

somewhere between casual and hardcore gamers

but that's everyone i know!

and me

I need a windows mchine for games :/

me too

mine is 5 years old and slow as molasses

I have a host of FPS's that it can't run

most games on gog i want/have are old enoug to work in dosbox, but the install thing is only for new windows machines

Is there no Wine for osx?

yep

*there is

STalKer-X, subtitles, when separated by a newline on the cover, are separated by commas in the mb title. If that was your question.

oops. not commas. colons.

sorry.

i did not do the title

correct it would be this?: Erotic Massage; Echoes of the Underworld; Ambient relaxation

That's a semicolon ;)

Colon is :

nitpicker :D

Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M94ii6MVilw

nsfw :p

"echoes of the underworld" is actually a recurring series

should i really put it as subtitle? :x

if "echoes of the underworld" is a series title, then you'd put that first.

I'm not sure what to do with "ambient relaxation".

yes there is wine. but it seems like such a cludge to use wine to run a win8 optimised Dosbox version of a dos game when I could have just run it in osx native dosbox :P

maybe it ("ambient relaxation") is merely descriptive, and not part of the title, like e.g. "as seen on TV"

;<

:B

CatQuest: "most games on gog i want/have are old enoug to work in dosbox, but the install thing is only for new windows machines" — Lutris, for Linux, have a lot of these installing to Linux-native DOSBox. That's how I'm running SW: Dark Forces.

Of course, that doesn't help for Mac OS users. :)

I wish just the original install thingy was an option

Sure.

heh

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_dos_games_... seems to say "install with wine, run with your local dosbox"

That's pretty much what Lutris does for Steam DOSBox games not packaged for Linux.

hmm yes, because often it will work afer to install it, but can't run after. also edits and stuff. HMM I'll try this thing
