It is used in the Launch Options of a Steam game. command% just gets replaced by whatever Steam would use to launch the game. It’s useful to set up anything before the game actually launches, such as setting environment variables or run scripts.
Alright, you got me. I mainly care about the GPL license and the ability to modify your own devices as you like. But that doesn’t make as good of a one liner.
Unironically the importance of being GNU/Linux instead of just Linux.
I have a number of IRL friends who daily drive Linux and we all at least have some small partition or drive installed with Windows on it just in case for that one program. I haven’t used it in over half a year and it was for some Need For Speed Underground 2 mod making tool that I used once and never needed again.
The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system’s version to get TF2 running again. It’s usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.
The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I’m not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I’ve found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they’ve found a match.
The XDG Base Directory Specification is a set of guidelines to tell application developers where they should store their application’s config files, cache, etc.
There are many applications that don’t follow the guidelines and put their files in a hidden folder directly in your home directory, which is what the guidelines are trying to combat.
Gotta weigh in the benefits of privacy/features vs anonymity for your needs.
