If your user is in the input group (set up in pretty much every distro), you can use uinput over netcat for forwarding devices (display server agnostic) without extra privileges. Same with the video group. No idea if anyone used this in an actual remote desktop software tho.

Hmmm, don’t Libreoffice devs test it with actual MS Office instead of guesstimating the format?

Another thing that helps is baking in the fonts or using metric compatibles to MS ones.

display drivers

describes an issue that would be the job of your compositor & window manager

ODF support is in MS Office as well, but if you want to be extra sure you can export as .doc from any office suite (Libreoffice should also tell you if a feature you are using can’t be exported).

“to code”

No, I am talking about FOSS games

Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux

Oh yeah, gotta love that. Some people have “Minecraft phases”, I have “STK/hedgewars/teeworlds” phases. Proud owner of an AUR package for a QoL client for Teeworlds, was dead simple to make that. Unless you mean the original TuxKart (not super), in which case that’s dead. And WarMux is dead (albeit still mostly playable), same with that one game that is also like a Worms clone but real time. I wish those were brought back…

Oh, and I forgot the name but there was this one tron clone that still mentions modem preferences and has some really really really low default graphics options but still has quite a few online players, I wish I didn’t suck at the game…

One guy told me he plays Mario Kart. As a reason to not install Linux.

Maybe the Arch Linux “ports” RFC will finally be of use…

Also, box64 works better in my experience when all of the depending libraries are installed properly, and they are guaranteed to be there in this scenario given that there’s the Steam runtime.
