Best way of playing Wipeout these days?

So...after watching latest Noclip video, I was having a bit of a Wipeout itch...I have a rather decent gaming computer, but I was wondering what would be the best way to play the wipeout series...was 2097 the best one? Is there a good way to get it running at decent resolution/effects these days?...

I would recommend to pay a visit to Wipeout Phantom Edition.

It's an enhanced PC port that uses the original assets from the Playstation CD and I had a lot of fun with it on my deck a few months ago...

I've been self-hosting Matrix Synapse for more than two years to chat friends and family and it has been rock-solid and it's on a VPS that os hosting a Nextcloud and Lemmy instance as well. It is definitely not really resource hungry for small groups of people.

If you want to try again this route, just make sure that everybody saves a backup of their keys as the messages are all encrypted and while you can authenticate a new client installation from another client that the same user is logged in, some people - like my mother - only use one, on her phone, which is understandable.

So in summary, I'm very happy with it! :)

That is a good point... on average it's around 500Mb of RAM usage, between 0.5% and 1% of CPU (it's a 2.4Mhz four cores).

Space is 5Gb, mainly media files accumulated over two years.

So overall, not bad.

Yep, I definitely look like him!

I finally nuked windows

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I...

I remember when I did the switch in 2008 and never looked back. I had a similar experience where across a few years I have been trying different distributions and finally settled on Lubuntu. Years have passed and different machines as well. Now my main driver is a Steam Deck with his Arch based OS and a secondary pure Arch on a sd card for more specific tasks.

Linux made my life more comfortable and relaxed, without even mentioning secure. My family uses Linux now, Windows is long dead.
