I bought a used Razor eGPU enclosure and a used GTX 1070 for cheap but I kind of regret it now. I'm not even sure I have any use for it. I'm afraid it's a bit underspecced for Stable Diffusion.
I know absolutely nothing about launchers, they didn't exist last time I play a game. I don't intend to register a Steam account or pay for the game, I'd rather download them along with the crack on rutracker. Are there any good games that will run on linux? Skyrim is fine but I'm bored with it. And what are GOG and Lutris good for?
GOG is it's own marketplace, like steam, but with no DRM
Lutris is a FOSS game launcher that has wine configuration built in and is compatible with GOG, Steam, Epic, and some more.
I use lutris and recommend it, setup is pretty easy, and it makes launching and controlling installed games much less painful.

Thanks. I'll try to learn to use lutris then. What game are you playing?

I played ghostrunner when it came to GOG, and right now I'm just playing some of the Witcher 1
ghostrunner
It looks great. There's a wine version here: https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5997248
Witcher 1
I'm not familiar with the story and setting. I've played 10 minutes of Witcher 3 on Windows and got bored immediately. The music is fantastic though. I'd agree if you told me that starting with the 3rd episode is nonsense.

The Witcher 3 is probably overall the best of the games, if you don't like it I don't think you'd like W1
Ghostrunner is on sale, or at least was, on GOG so try it out to see if you like it.
GOG has like a 30 day refund policy or something similar, IDK I've never used the refund thing.
Plus, on lutris's site you have a ton of install scripts for games so you can just check out whats free and start playing with like 4 mouseclicks.

I'm not into buying games. Back in my time, nobody bought games.
A kernel is not enough to be able to play a game (or if yes, what an odd game this would be).
>>8
True.
Why wouldn't a kernel be enough? If the game is text-based, it might work just by setting the game as init. Otherwise you will need to port the graphics to work with the old framebuffer. I searched for it and of course someone has already done it for Doom: https://github.com/qookei/doomux
>>10
A game needs to be able to interface with the hardware. A kernel is both unnecessary and insufficient.
>>8
This is so dumb. If you take all the separate parts that makeup a game and group them logically as "the game", then it is clearly running on the kernel. If you imement exactly what the game needs yourself and not the extra stuff that, say, x11 implements and is not necessary to the game, you have game that can run on abare kernel.
Were you born this dumb or did you go to school for that?
>>11
The kernel is the interface to the hardware. That's its very purpose.
I like Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Blood. Cultic is also great!
I also play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (WolfET) sometimes. WolfET is free (both as in freedom and free as in beer) class-based multiplayer FPS game.
You can get WolfET from:
* Steam
* SplashDamage site (needs ETKEY from http://etkey.net/)
* or, you can use ET: Legacy client (recommended).
ET: Legacy has QoL enhancements (that don't break compatibility with original vanilla WolfET) and better support for modern GPUs. You can get ET: Legacy from the official website or you can use Flatpak. You want to get the 32-bit/multilib version because most mods are 32-bit only. If you use vanilla WolfET, you need to use the in-game console to set a var to make it work with modern GPUs: \seta r_primitives 2 (open the console by pressing the key under ESC). ET: Legacy doesn't need this fix, but other versions of WolfET require it. You can disable vsay audio by running this in the same in-game console: \seta cg_noVoiceChats 1

In addition to those, I also play occasionally TES: Daggerfall (in DosBox), Morrowind/OpenMW, NetHack (with X11 GUI and tiles), Dwarf Fortress and Shattered Pixel Dungeon (available as a flatpak package or F-Droid app).
