Sadly, that's how it is. To that: shut it user 3. Updates shouldn't kill your system, and yes, GUIs that are in use are part of a system. If your distribution/OS can't even guarantee that, it's not even suitable for power users. I would and did and still do rip any distribution/OS apart for that. It's actually great Linus killed it. It got some attention, there's finally some movement to make it clearer. This prevalent notion of “you should have to learn” is why it was even possible in the first place. Console output and confirmation prompts ceased to be meaningful because there are too much of them. Just like clicking “Yes” on the “Are you sure?” prompt and or entering the admin password becomes meaningless if the system keeps asking you to do it. It's bad design if the defaults eventually just make people stop thinking about it. “I thought it was just a fancy sudo prompt” is basically the result that. sudo or inputting a password lost it's meaning because of users has to use it too often.

depending on the tool, it might be able to not resolve the dependencies correctly. but that can also happen when a broken package is in the repository.

I see. I didn't install it, I just downloaded the archive into the right place, that saves a lot on the wine dependency hell. (I also run arch.)

There were dependencies? I just downloaded the archive. :3

That's what the GNU people want you to believe! They poison everything with their goddamn GPL.

Was that the 3rd party launcher? I tried that, too. That was a trainwreck. Currently, I can run FFXIV with the GE (GloriousEggshell) fork for proton.

I think in many cases, that's more a GNU issue than Linux. That's all I'm going to say, since this discussion shouldn't be in here. But I believe most of proton's patches are going back to wine. Most of them.

Proton is just wine with more patches and saner defaults. There's this some way to force it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/8/1679189548052683985/

Well, if your system boots, yes, there some option for that. But if it doesn't, you're stuck waiting for the boot loop to resolve.

Same with updating Windows... You know what, I take it back. You're right, people don't wanna do things that can make stuff blow up. Just like updates that blow up your system. On any OS.

Can we get a faster entry point into Safe Mode, too? Waiting for the system to crash several times, before the system offers it on its own is kinda.... slow.

Windows Update shouldn't crash systems but it still does. Spit happens.

Like SteamOS? :3

Since the bug happened in the Steam package, I'm half expecting the next video starting with Luke's system not booting into the GUI. Also why not SteamOS? It's got the name Steam on it!

Next is streaming, oh... prepare the popcorn, it's going to be a ride. Browser elements are currently a nightmare in the linux version of OBS. Technically it's fixed, but maintainers need to reenable it.
