meanwhile pysol fan club edition has about 50 types of card games and takes 230 kilobytes of ram

I like it, but kept running into weird bugs (and I think dependency issues) with different versions of python.

Kpatience for me.

gonna try kpatience; i need a good one for my mum who plays microsoft solitaire all the time (i want to switch her since windows is losing security updates)

have you tried the flatpak pysol? that's what i have; installed through linux mint software manager and it works great.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah (on the flatpak) although I still had a problem, and don't remember what/why.

Kpatience is nice.

Also I have a fundamental problem with pysol wins being just "you did it. Click OK".

Those bouncing cards in Windows sol.exe were early computer dopamine addiction that sold millions of computers.

i just got kpatience too since i hadn't heard about it before and i agree, i love it more. i'm still getting used to it though. i love the downloadable packs though!
