  • proton: in steam settings go to compatibility and check steam play. wine: download the installer, then depending on your desktop environment either double click it and install as you would on windows, or right click the background in the folder the example.exe is at, open terminal here, type: wine example.exe and follow the installer.


  • i never even liked w10 and then i got to experience w11 on our school machines, and realized i can’t go that way. saw so many people praising linux here so i split my ssd and tried to install linux on the other partition. fukked up and formatted the whole damn ssd, so i became a linux only user. soon i accidentally removed nvidia drivers so i went back to windows. not a month later i noticed my school logo on the start menu and they also seemed to control some windows settings, i freaked out and went back to linux. been like 1½ years now.













  • a few years back i was pirating some movie after a bottle of captain morgan. i remember not being able to play the movie and suddenly the file was gone so i downloaded it again, same thing. the next day i noticed the whole system running a little sluggish and some things just wouldn’t work. then i noticed that i had several notifications from windows defender, it had blocked the movie. checked the torrent again and it was a damn .exe… i ran malwarebytes and it found nothing. i didn’t bother reinstalling because it felt normal after a reboot, but it bothered me for the next two years until i hopped into team penquin. just do a clean reinstall, and you can forget about it.



  • try disabling or enabling hardware acceleration. i think its in the vivaldi:flags page. also did you install flatpak version? you could try and download the .deb from their website and install that to see if they are any different. i was a vivaldi user too but ended up ditching it because of some bugs in the linux version.
