AOL was 'everywhere' especially in the mid to latter '90's. Their advertising push coupled with so many hours of free Internet access upon installation made them an early titan of Internet service access.
I don’t particularly care for streaming services either, and the reason I mentioned that app was because I use it to essentially “rip” music from Spotify, download it to a folder and then use another music player app to create custom playlists. It’s the closest option I can come to without having the actual CDs to rip from.
And the iPods were indeed great little devices that had plenty of storage and made customizing playlists easy and enjoyable. Those were the days 😉.
We’re you able to download the game via Steam? And if so, what method did you use to launch it via Lutris? Did you try launching it by accessing a file?
Like you, I have unfortunately lost the physical CDs over time which I also used to rip to my pc and copy to other places as well.
However, I did stumble across an app called Spotiflyer which I use to download songs/albums from Spotify (and other services) for free and then listen to them offline. It's great to have locally stored media vs. having to be chained to online services.
That being said, I haven't listened to that Billy Holiday album, but you've got my interest piqued and I'll definitely check it out.
C'mon peeps...this is Linux Gaming (having fun, playing games and looking for help to get our favorite games to run properly). It's a community focused on information and support - confrontations and PvP should be reserved for "in-game" experiences only ;).
Another update: I installed the game on a newer computer running a different OS, and BG1 is now working as expected.
It’s interesting, I only have a couple of Steam games in my library, but they all respond differently on my two systems - some that didn’t play, now do. And some that worked on the other system, won’t on the new one 🤷♂️.
I don't think Jerboa supports 'native notifications' which means it relies on other services (such as Google Play Services) in order to push notifications to your phone. Some applications (such as Fairmail, F-Droid) don't rely on Google's services and use the OS's native notification abilities.
I ran into the same problem with Steam today, and your post caught my attention.
I had been playing Carcassonne without any issues when I tried to launch it today and began receiving DirectX errors. Trying different Proton versions didn’t work for me either.
I’m running an i7 11th gen on openSUSE with a GeForce RTX 3050 with similar errors to yours.
If true, this is a bit disturbing. However, I run uBlock in my browser and don't recall seeing any blocking attempts when on this instance. Do you have any specific details?

Agreed.

Okay. Do you have Wine installed?
Wine can potentially help resolve the .exe and .NET errors that you’re experiencing.
Did you download it via Snaps or Flatpak?

Try looking in: ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common
I don't have BG3 installed, but I have had some weird issues when using Steam lately. Have you tried using Lutris to launch the game?
This was a great series to be sure!

Yeah, I feel the same way.
I found a Spotify link. I’ll see if that works.

Well, that explains things 🙂

On a semi-related note, the Hale-Bopp comet was an amazing event to witness.
Actually, you made a claim without any explanatory information, and people (such as myself) were seeking clarification.
So, you're making an assertion that you cannot validate or prove.
Next time, try asking a question first if you are uncertain about something instead of leading with a statement that could be calumnious.

It cannot be…Hal 9000 and SDF have synthesized and are taking over!
