  • I don’t use the Solution explorer but I also don’t think it has one.

    I usually kickstart a fresh application with a SLN and a few projects in the dotnet CLI and VSCodium picks up the launch project automatically when I tell it to create a launch.json. For existing applications, if the .vscode folder already exists it will just pick it up or I can also just ask it to create a launch.json.

    That workflow has been ingrained into me since there were no real C# utilities for VS Code when it first launched, so not much changed for me when going to VSCodium.





  • VS Code (i know it’s still MS but I do C# .NET work and rider is too expensive, I don’t want a subscription for an IDE)

    VSCodium is a thing too if you want to un-Microsoft even further.

    https://vscodium.com/

    I use it for C# development on Linux and it works well.

    getting a password manager

    Bitwarden and Keepass are usually the go tos, depending on your use case.

    then a new browser

    Firefox or if you want to decouple from Mozilla as well, Librewolf works pretty well.

    potentially a Google pay replacement

    I’m not aware of any open Google Pay replacements other than taking a card with you.

    As soon as you get rid of Google on your phone, you get rid of Google Pay.









  • There are 30,000 exclusives on steam.

    There’s a huge difference between paying a publisher to only publish on your platform and publishers picking their distribution platform themselves. Valve pays 0 dollars for publishers to be exclusive to Steam.

    No, not really. Sony, Microsoft, Stadia, and most storefronts have exclusives with benefits.

    I never said any of them are any better, just because it’s industry standard doesn’t make it good. If you pay publishers to release games exclusively on your platform and you are not actively funding development you are anti-competitive in my eyes. (Also Stadia doesn’t exist anymore)

    Overall, you should be made at the studios that accept the offer instead of Epic.

    I am mad at both and I do not support either.

    Epic is just trying to fund indie teams

    If only that were true I would be less mad. Most of the time they try to snatch up games that are already finished or were already planning to release on Steam/GOG. Sometimes they even pull games from other stores (Rocket League and Fall Guys) after they released or just before they release (Metro). That’s not the practices of someone who wants to compete but someone who wants to get into the market by force without actively doing anything good for the industry.




  • Extreme stuttering in Yuzu. It reads 60fps but it is absolutely not. Using the AUR version, since the Flatpak can’t load my roms folder from my NAS. (Before you assume the network drive is the issue, know that it is over a 10g SFP+ on an NVMe on the NAS. No problems in Windows.)

    I don’t have an Nvidia GPU but give the pineappleEA builds a try. It contains all the changes in the current early access build as well.

    As for running the Flatpak, you have to whitelist the folder your NAS folder is mounted on. Best way to do that is by installing Flatseal. Just search for yuzu, scroll down to Filesystem and add the folder where your games are contained in Other files.
