Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve over abuse of their market position
1 May 2021 at 4:52 am UTC
For what it's worth, the 30% (or any percentage) cut doesn't seem bad to me (even if they didn't "give back" anything to the community, but in our case, they do, and a lot). What does seem bad to me is the "clauses Valve have that prevent developers selling at cheaper prices on other stores" (because that improperly reduces competition among stores, and that likely is the point).

I would love to win a copy of this game. :D
Lightweight desktop Xfce 4.16 released with a visual refresh and fractional scaling

Quoting: GuestThank you. I know you can do that but the times i did it, at the time of GNOME2 and KDE 3, i found the end result to be a bit messy with menus overloaded with duplicate programs.
Oh, that makes sense. And, no problem (even though I wasn't really helpful). :)
Lightweight desktop Xfce 4.16 released with a visual refresh and fractional scaling

Quoting: GuestI don't like to reinstall my Os too often so i am stuck with KDE for a while but as soon as i decide to i go back to XFCE. UNITY the GNOME 3 made me move to XFCE and it stays my favorite desktop environment.
I see you're using Kubuntu, a "flavour" of Ubuntu, so if you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y xubuntu-desktop, you'll get Xfce (alongside KDE, in your case) (without having to reinstall). (You can choose which desktop environment to use from your login screen.)

Edit:
For what it's worth, technically, it seems to me that xubuntu-desktop is for the Xfce desktop environment and apparently some additional packages to improve the user experience, whereas the xfce4 package is just for the Xfce desktop environment itself.

I "liked" it, but only because I like being informed on such matters. ;)

The sad case of Trine on Mesa and Linux in 2019

Quoting: EikeDo a "locate" on the missing library.
This is the way. ^_^
Is that a reference to "The Mandalorian", by any chance? ;P

Quoting: EikeDo a "locate" on the missing library. AFAIR, it is contained the Steam runtime. (If you don't have locate installed, install it and run updatedb before doing the locate. It's a useful tool.)
I already use locate, but I didn't know that the Steam runtime had the library, so thanks!

In case anyone else is having this issue, what I did was go to the directory of the game, run ln -s /home/user/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 and then run sh trinefix.c ./trine1.sh, and it works now! I even got it working throuh the Steam client by putting sh trinefix.c ./trine1.sh as the command (instead of sh trinefix.c %command%)! :D

Edit:
I also got Trine 2 working by doing the same thing, except in the Trine 2 directory and replacing trine1.sh with trine2.sh in the command.

Also, thanks again, Hamish. :)

Quoting: HamishDo you have the libgtk2.0-0 package installed? It provides the libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 library.
https://packages.debian.org/buster/libgtk2.0-0

EDIT: And make sure you have the i386 package since it is a 32-bit application.
I didn't have it, so I installed it, but then, after re-running the command, I recall it saying that I needed some other so.0 file which is available only from the libpng12-0 package (sorry, I'm not at that computer at the moment to give the exact error message), but as can be seen here ( https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libpng12-0 ), libpng12-0 is not available in Debian testing / bullseye. (I don't think that libpng16-16 ( https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libpng16-16 ) would work and I tried getting jessie / oldoldstable's version of libpng12-0, but I think there were dependency problems that couldn't be resolved with apt-get install -f because the dependencies sought are too old. (I was thinking about getting the deb file for libpng12-0 from unstable / sid's repository, but as shown on the link I gave, there is only a deb file in unstable / sid's respository for the arm64 architecture.))

I guess I can just wait for when I get my next GPU (in the not-so-near future) (because my current GPU doesn't support Vulkan) and then play it with Proton? I'm in no rush to play them; I was just thinking of playing them with friends of mine a few days ago, but that time has passed. ;)

Quoting: HamishTry launching the game outside of Steam by changing into the directory and launching the game from a terminal like so:

cd "~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Trine/_enchanted_edition_/"
sh trinefix.c ./trine1.sh

That works for me with the Humble Store versions I was using.
Thanks again for the response.

I didn't occur to me to run it from outside of Steam, but it's good that you said that because now I have an error message.:

Do you know how to deal with that, by any chance?
