openra has run on every linux I’ve thrown at it so far which are Linux Mint, OpenSuse, and Ubuntu:

As long as I can run that I’m happy.
Speaking of games. What if we did a virtual community LAN event?
I know the community is small but it’d be a fun thing we could do.

me too. have any games in mind?
At the moment not yet. It would be best if featured games we all had or could get easy access too.
I got an idea. I’ll go make a thread for said virtual lan and we can sort out the games there.

Infuriating but amusing would be Civ 5 rofl
Other than that not sure
I could see if I can get a hold of more beta keys for mutiplayer Grand campaigns in Empire Total war. Also could set up Neverwinter Nights possibly.

great. if possible should try and make them cross platform, I and likely some others don’t have easy access to Windows and it should be something we can all play.

oh also @wolfleben see above for the terminal im trying to convert
so far i’ve figured out that either going through CL of windows, or putty should work for using the thing
but other than that details are … rather sparse because all the other hits are “hurr durr how to i turn a computer into a dumb terminal”
any more thoughts on where to find setup info?
also @Dje4321 i may need help with this terminal later lol

Been thinking of something lately. Why not make a console with a PC mode? You basiclly flip a switch and it will boot into a PC mode or Console mode.
PC mode just runs something like standard windows, or even something like Linux. You have full access to your x86 PC games on your Console with special drivers that makes use of the controller, power button, hdmi input, etc. You could even go one step further and partner with Vavle and have something like steam pre-configured.
Console mode will just be your standard console interface with console games. The advantage of it though is that you get a much better experince on the console mode since the games will be highly optimized to a very specific hardware set.
