  • Most C64 games are less than 64KB, the largest ones are maybe one megabyte. So counting generously that would be 200MB in total. I think a minimal Linux that runs on most hardware with Vice and game selector front-end would be a gig maximum. So what did they put in there? Uncompressed 4K long play video?

    Edit; Oh, 200+ “Linux compatible games”. So they pre-installed whatever Linux distro had in games. But it still sounds excessively large to me. I don’t know if I see the point in downloading everything for an installation when I’m probably not interested in most of it anyway. Then again, weird decisions is legacy Commodore so points for authenticity.

    Different countries have different languages, alphabets and keyboard layouts. Scandinavian countries keyboards are quite commonly produced together because they share most but not all of the letters, symbols and positions. This looks pretty standard to me.

    Edit: As a user from respective country you learn fast to read automatically the position for shared keys before you learn touch typing or looking for an uncommonly used symbol. The real annoyance is when laptop makers switch up key positions because they think they know better.










  • I’m in the same position. I’ve got several paid VST that I’d like to use in Reaper on Linux but haven’t gotten around trying to fiddle about when the installer fails. Not very experienced with Wine and quirks.

    Somebody told me I’d be easier off getting installer free cracked versions of the software I already paid for but idk about malware and such in pirated software nowadays. Is it possible to containerize VSTs so they have access to nothing but their instance of Wine?
