I used the screen capture tool. Rebooted and then it gave me a "screenshot tool crashed" popup. Then the error reporting soft locked. My expectations are lower now but I'm happy.
My experience with Windows 10 has been exemplary (it has its quirks though, ngl), so I'm sad that it's time to leave.
Entirely indeed! The mini pc came with 11 on its SSD, I swapped that out before ever turning it on 🤣
Yes, a chain was something I'd considered too. Probably i'll print a message saying in words what's happening too :)
I'm (slowly!) releasing 50+ deep dives into The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond's epic #BBCMicro game
Batch #4 is now ready: 5 new articles about 3D objects (defining, drawing, managing)

Batch #5 (drawing polygons) coming on Friday
Enjoy!

I call it instancing in my head but felt 'linked' was more beginner friendly. And yes, this needs some more feedback like a double mouse pointer or one with a plus or something 👍
... and if you hold ALT+SHIFT it will clone objects but keep them linked, so further edits are applied to all instances.
Deluxe Poly - working on more standard vector editing features - this time ALT+drag to quickly clone object(s). #lowpoly #pixelart #gamedev
Well this is all part of the journey 🥳
I agree, Proton is superb! because of it I'm not sure I'll bother with making native Linux games, but for tools it's a different story. A native version helps because it means you have access to the whole file system (saving documents under proton is apparently weird), and shared memory works, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion! - this mini PC only has integrated graphics so I don't think I'll be gaming on it, I can use the Steam Deck (and Machine.. one day 😭) for that. I plan to use this setup for coding my own games/tools (which run on potatoes) - since I have SteamOS, I figured, try Fedora too!
Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 (1993)
Not exactly (and functional is debatable, I've had more crashes on Linux this morning than I've had on Windows 10 in 2025+26) - I'll keep Windows 10 around, but I want to explore. Plus with the Steam Machine coming around, I reckon native Linux ports might be worth doing one day.
That's a smart idea as I've had Windows do that to a dual boot (back in the Win7 days). I guess my plan was over-kill, but I wanted to be able to run both O/Ses at the same time.
Well I now have a (Fedora 43) Linux machine setup on a Geekom A5 Ryzen 5825u mini PC. So far so good (crashed two of the builtin apps though, lol) but now I'll need to start moving work activities over to it. Having 2 systems means I can do this at a comfortable pace without risking my main machine.
Yeah I agree. I would make a simple factual "no AI was used" type reply to this review.
Yes you can reply to a review as the developer. But you have to be cautious as it may also create a Streisand Effect by bumping the review.
Next stop, refunding dice. 😭
Happy #mar10day to all that celebrate
Hope you don't need to use the cursor keys 🤢
Forget Half-Life 3, I'm still waiting for SiN Episodes 2 💀⏳️

Deluxe Poly - Added a wireframe preview mode for object movement. I find it's sometimes useful for relative movements. But if it's annoying you can go back to real-time movement.

Even if nobody draws Deus Ex anymore I will be the one to do it. #JCDenton

The polygon characters might not have aged extraordinary well, but it is still kinda creepy...especially with that soundtrack.
Had fun today doing a little BASIC type-in on my Speccy (128k Harlequin) and saving/loading to the PC via a little USB sound card + Audacity. Short 30 line programs only take like 5 seconds to record so it's super convenient, and you get a little bit of the computer screaming noise too 😌
Video game logic: Blow up a gas station to get some fuel? I've thought about it for a long time and honestly that totally makes sense to me.

The non-Steam installers have been updated, and are available on Discord for the long-time customers still using it.
