[GUIDE] Installing Steam on postmarketOS using FEX Emulator and Distrobox


I managed to get Steam installed on my OnePlus 6T and Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, both running postmarketOS, using Distrobox to create an Ubuntu 24.04 container and then installing FEX-Emu inside of it. I wrote up a guide on the postmarketOS wiki on how to do it, some issues I ran into, some tips on how to get around those issues, and a list of games I've tested. Feel free to expand upon this list if you try it out. Older games such as Half Life 2 are quite playable, especially if your device supports keyboard and mouse input. I have not yet tested using a controller.


cant mount home on boot


Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).

its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)

any ideas for things to try?

Seems like this can be prevented from reaching that point by properly deleting old generations regularly though right?

20 or 30 generations 😹

I have space for 1 😭

Edit: you've got me worried now, is the behavior you're referring to normal running out of inodes behavior or some sort of bug? Is this specific to ext4 or does it also affect btrfs nix stores?

I've run across the information that ext4 can be created with extra inodes but cannot add inodes to an existing filesystem.

If you were voting ***against ***something, which is the only thing Democrats do, you are casting a protest vote. And you were right they are fucking stupid.

You're correct, we do. We all assist the operation of this war machine. It may not be in our control, but that does not nullify it. We bloody our hands to live instead of choosing to die, and we are all culpable to an extent for it. Some more than others, though.

People in all societies have to ignore a multitude of moral contradictions in order to live normal lives. That is the manufactured consent all states impose upon their people.

I don't even look forward to to my day off. I know I won't be fully rested even if I don't do anything.

I love living every week just waiting for the weekend. It's certainly a fulfilling and enjoyable life.

Everyone, throughout the history of humanity, has had to put forth effort to stay alive. Except for a rare few.

Why do we expect anything different today?

Literally my ex rn. He bled me dry financially and now has to be a big boy and pay his own bills for once. 😂

Fighter jets are outdated. What is effective are mass drones. China's dominance over the drone industry is their true power.

These are different tools for different use cases. As we currently see in Ukraine, air superiority plays a huge role right now.

Ah sorry, I kind of figured that between the NSFW tag and their warning that would cover it

Yea, honestly I thought they weren't actually going to show the video uncensored like they did. That one stuck with me.


in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

I'm actually on this man's side.

The idea-stealing he talks about is not unheard of, and multiple people or groups coming up with similar ideas at the same time by looking at market trends is actually quite common.

If you also look at the fact that he has evidence for pretty much all his claims,

AND

He has gotten the domain and has evidence for the ideas and ownership of "Open AI" before Altman's "OpenAI" was formed

AND

He says a lot of his ideas never came to fruition because he couldn't get funding but the one thing he didn't need crazy funding for, investing in Bitcoin when it was $10 per coin, is something he ends up doing and leaves him well-off.

All that to me is enough evidence that this man is one hell of an unlucky individual.

And as such, I believe him.

in reply to theshatterstone54

i'm not. just because he's an underdog here means that you're gonna ignore all the harms of generative ai up to this day? it's like complaining that big oil stole the idea of adding tetraethyllead to gasoline from you and you got no profits from that as a result
in reply to skillissuer

Not necessarily. A lot of the harms disappear when everything goes open, which is what this person stands for, and what OpenAI was supposed to stand for.

Open LLM + Open Training Data = Open AI

Copyright and IP concerns disappear with an open dataset.

Open models are inherently more trustworthy because of an obvious reduction in vendor lock-in.

in reply to theshatterstone54

Copyright and IP concerns disappear with an open dataset.


i don't think i'd agree with that, doesn't matter if dataset goes open if content went there without consideration for authors

also even things like thispersondoesnotexist were used to mass-create fake identities and such

in reply to skillissuer

Yeah, but something like that would be super easy to find and fix without going through lawsuits. And I'd argue the dataset creators would be far less likely to add copyrighted material to the training data when it's all out in the open and they can be immediately made to remove and retrain the AI without that data.
in reply to theshatterstone54

the problem with that is that training can't be done "immediately" it takes tons of compute
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

What this show is a total lack of originality.

AI is not new. Open-source is not new. Putting two well known concepts together wasn't new either because... AI has historically been open. A lot of the cutting edge research is done in public laboratories, with public funding, and is published in journals (sadly often behind paywall but still).

So the name and the concept are both unoriginal.

A lot of the popularity gained from OpenAI by using a chatbot is not new either. Relying on always larger dataset and benefiting from Moore's law is not new either.

So I'm not standing on any side, neither this person nor the corporation.

I find that claiming to be "owning" common ideas is destructive for most.

I am right now sitting in the foyer of my new job waiting for first day orientation to start and I am already cursing the fact that I had to get up so early and go across the entire city just to not die.

Yeah because even doing what you love is hell when you don't make enough money to thrive or don't have enough time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Ventoy still the FOSS you'd recommend?


I was genuinely excited when I first learnt about the Ventoy from a YouTube, then I came to these:

Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
programming.dev/post/19516543

Ventoy Update
programming.dev/post/20508826

github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issue…

reddit.com/r/Ventoy/comments/1…

so maybe I'll hold off with Ventoy for now?

I understand how this could be a prime target of a supply chain attack and that things are a bit fishy. On the other hand people are waaaay less picky about installing other binary blobs on their machines. I wish paranoia would be more general :)
in reply to cplusplus

I stopped using Ventoy. I don't trust the OSs installed by means of it, sadly. Also, lost any hope of a clarification on the issue. Yes, you should not use it for the time being.

They have enough trouble with their drivers and software ecosystem. I'm surprised they're adding more onto that pile.
in reply to just_another_person

I don't see evidence in the article that it even is 'their software' being discussed here - just a framework they are suggesting for compositors to have new functionality (regardless of GPU brands).

It even says "They aren't going into this alone but at this year's DisplayNext Hackfest it was also backed up by AMD for going a similar route."

in reply to just_another_person

This isn’t really driver related. It is the Wayland compositor’s job to properly handle multiple GPUs, which is lacking in some (a very popular, Wayland library that lacks proper multi-GPU support is wlroots) compositors. Vulkan drivers and DRM are already enough to properly handle multiple GPUs. I guess Wayland implementers just haven’t cared enough about the issue, or maybe are figuring out a “perfect” way to address it (a la 3 year long pull request on wayland-protocols repo incoming)
