Oh God, the line breaks!

I was in the beta for the original World of Warcraft and restarted when it officially launched. This was 20 years ago, so memory is fuzzy, but somewhere along the way I was playing it in wine exclusively under Linux. Game updates were common and frequently broke wine, but I kid you not a patch was available within 24h. Yes, this forced me to compile my own wine, but it wasn’t that difficult then. Together with “checkinstall” I could maintain a clean .deb package from the source code.

Some links I found in a quick search showing the challenges:

• https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-311551-start-0.html

To be honest, keeping the game running in Linux sometimes felt as a fun side quest!

After that I was mostly able to play all my games in Linux, with some exceptions, obviously, that sometimes required me to install windows.

Have you enabled the necessary kernel boot flags first?

Almost 20 years ago I decided that I would check out the famous emacs and vim editors to then choose one. Never got to try emacs… Thanks Bram! You will never be forgotten.

It’s much harder, you’re right! :P

Yes, I was talking about apps. In my case it’s liftoff, so taking into account your comment I can assume information is available, but app must have to use it.

At that time most of the internet used interlaced images to avoid this.

Are you kidding me!? To move forward he had to write that he knew what he was doing! I’m pretty sure he saw the train wreck happening and pushed forward for views.
