I still find it funny that Steve Ballmer called Linux communism lmao
vr enjoyer and occasional gamedev living in ohio, usa who uses arch btw

the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use
you state this as fact yet my experience has been that people hate using windows for its UI on handhelds and only tolerate it because everything’s made for it. that’s not a shining point for windows, quite the opposite.
the steam deck surpassed a million devices sold - so while over 50% of people probably still want windows, i wouldn’t say its an “overwhelming” majority. tons of people clearly like valve’s take on linux even despite its limitations
Wouldn’t be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum
Definitely keep the original files intact/backup the files before doing anything, but theoretically, I think it should be possible. Likely, though, depending on the game (especially if it’s a game not made to be modded) there may be specific things like DLLs that look for a niche Windows component or driver that Proton can’t translate and won’t work.
That being said, Proton is open-source so there are old versions and forks that may work better, GE-Proton most famously. Also, if the game has built-in mod support or rely on a platform-agnostic runtime like Minecraft Java edition, those probably won’t be an issue anyway as the engine/language runtime should handle low-level stuff like that by itself
What I did to learn was basically trying to mimic my Windows install in terms of programs and features. I installed games I played often onto Linux and learned basic software installation and Proton by doing that, then I installed some productivity apps (mostly their Linux equivalents, not the exact ones) and learned to use those, and then did some customizing. Not everything works, at least well (VR for example), so I dual-boot still
I’d also recommend pulling up the terminal to do some basic stuff to get used to it, like using sudo apt install for some select programs, ls and cd for file navigation, etc. You won’t need the terminal for daily use in mist distros, but it’ll be important sometimes
Also, if you choose Mint like I shill for recommend, searching the forum has proven useful in my experience
musk is really kinda doing the ADL’s job for them lmao

I have a 6800 XT, is there something I have to enable somewhere? I could’ve sworn it was missing because h264/265 had licensing weirdness going on but idk
I probably sbould’ve specified H.264/H.265, unless I’m missing something?
Not to knock on your point but the AMD drivers on Linux don’t support hardware video encoding unfortunately, so technically it’s not full-featured
Yeah that’s what I meant, not updating for a while makes it more likely to break next time I try. I think the time I had to use the fallback I waited something like close to a month?
For all its strengths, Arch is kind of a pain in the ass to maintain. I daily drive it but I risk breaking something if I don’t update regularly. My youtube laptop can’t update at all anymore from something I don’t care to fix (when Firefox breaks then its a big deal lmao) and my main rig needed to use the fallback initramfs for a while after I forgot to update for a while. mkinitcpio -P (I think) fixed it though
Archinstall also works on wireless using iwctl, that’s what I did
My friend and I tried playing it a few times, and the same thing would happen every time: we’d find nobody until its like 5ish groups remaining, and then get beamed before we knew where it came from. It’s probably a skill issue, same thing happened in Warzone except earlier in the game, but we ended up dropping it anyway. Never happens in any other game though.
I didn’t, and what I read online was sometimes SSD manufacturers just get lazy with consumer products and end up assigning the same UUID to a model of SSD, and I tested this by getting an SSD from a different manufacturer and, sure enough, it worked as intended.
This might be the post I found where I figured it out at (bugzilla.kernel.org)
If you use two drives, I’d highly recommend getting two different models of SSD because after around kernel version 5.18, the kernel will reject one of the “duplicates”. Was a huge source of frustration when I started, and I had to use Mint for a while before finding out the problem (I’m on Arch now btw)
I kinda get it because I’m pretty sure they still do, but the article’s presented like it’s new and I just wanted to make it clear that it’s not
How can someone claim to be a capitalist if they’re still eating every day?
