  • As a newcomer to CLIs, GUI are great because you don’t need to know what you’re looking for. I can just open the devices window, and they’re all there, with most of the extra hardware stuff that’s not actually a real device already cleaned out.

    To do the same with a CLI would take me 10 minutes of looking up what the hardware commands are, 5 minutes figuring out flags, and 30 minutes researching entries to see if they’re important. Even just a collapsible list would make that last step so much easier. And no, I can’t grep for what I need, because I don’t know what I need, I just know something in there is important with a vague idea of what it might look like.

    Once I figure that all out for one thing, the best I can do is write that to a notes file so I don’t need to search so far next time, but there’s a good chance that I’ll need a different combination of commands next time anyway.

    Not hating on CLIs, just wishing I could figure out how to use them faster.



  • Yeah, I’m surprised about it as well, it looks quite interesting. I wonder if it could be run in Lutris or some other variant of Wine. It looks like a few people have tried, but I don’t know how successful they’ve been…

    There is also Co-op on Linux that I just found, that might cut it.

    Running a Windows VM just for local co-op isn’t bad, but you’d need to download everything again and use windows, wich kinda defeats the point.

    You might be able to muck about with routing inputs to a VM or two and basically run two OSs on one computer. If you have an extra video card, monitor, and keyboard, you could actually run two systems on the same computer with Multiseat. That probably requires some more computer resources, but it’s basically guaranteed to work. You may need a second steam account for some games though.

    The step after that is just getting a second computer and doing it LAN party style.
