From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi all, Sony loves these data collection messages at the beginning of their games. They don’t even give you the option to opt-out. It is mandatory and is either “Full data” or “limited”. I don’t want to give them either. Is there a straight forward way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Awesome, thank you so much. Do you know what the equivalent is in Heroic games launcher? They have so many options there, wrapper command, environment variables, scripts and some others. I have games there, too.

I've never used the Heroic launcher, but I think the "wrapper command" is what you need

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you. I like Heroic better because of the layout. It has all stores on one screen, unlike lutris. The wrapper is asking me to put the "path" in quotes. Oh well, I I'll have to get used to Lutris.

are you using Heroic lsuncher from flatpak? if yes you need to somehow add firejail to Heroic app, or just restrict acess to internet for whole Heroic launcher flatpak --user override --unshare=network com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

if not you need to add firejail wrapper with --noprofile --net=none args without any quotes (it says "Make sure to quote args with spaces", which is not your case)

Very much appreciated. Sometimes, some things don't make sense to me in English (second language). Even very simple things. I genuinely thought they're saying add quotes AND spaces to args. 😂 Also, I don't use flatpak. Just regular binary from the AUR. So, I'll add the wrapper. Life is good now thanks to you <3
