Well, “childhood” but I had it in high school. When I was a kid kid I was playing on an n64.

I still have my childhood Xbox 360 copy of this game on the shelf. I’ve given it a shot a few times but never got especially far. It’s very cool to see it being preserved so it can continue to be played.

I highly recommend it. It’s a challenge to learn, but it’s a game that really rewards time investment. Failing and losing a settlement is all part of the fun.

It’s a very slow burn experience. Expect 100+ hours to get through, especially with the DLC. It’s not for everyone certainly, but there’s a lot of great stuff in it. Two hours in you’ve seen very little of the game, or it’s story - which I think is it’s strongest part.

I’ve used both pretty extensively (years daily driving each) but these days I just use stock KDE, with maybe a couple little adjustments to the taskbar. I like both. I can adapt to different desktop workflows, GNOME’s is good, but I found myself always using plugins to make it work more like a windows desktop. I generally like the KDE suite of default applications a lot more than GNOME’s, like Dolphin is just a better file manager than nautilus. And if I’m going to use KDE applications and a windows-styled desktop layout, at that point I might as well just use KDE.

I recall it using some different design philosophies behind managing windows than I was familiar with, I’d honestly just recommend trying it out in a live USB or a vm so you can see for yourself. It uses a desktop called Pantheon that they make specifically for elementary OS. Specifically, the X button on the window is in the top left, maximize is in the top right, and there’s no minimize button.

Wifi card drivers can be an issue, that you should be able to see in the live USB before you try installing though. It’s not a matter of any specific distribution and more whether or not your wifi card has working drivers.

My recommendation given where you are coming from would probably be something like elementary OS. https://elementary.io/

It has some differences in it’s workflow though, and if you don’t find that appealing I see that many others have already recommended distributions with Gnome such as Fedora.

For Doom 3, it does work with the original engine but I do recommend playing using the dhewm3 source port. It supports linux natively and has high resolution and framerate support.

I don’t think that’s necessarily an issue, it’s powerful enough to play AAA titles. The price is the biggest issue at the moment, and it’s not really valve’s fault that pc parts are skyrocketing in price.

It’s a console-like form factor, and is pretty powerful. Most people I know, especially the ones interested in the steam machine, are intimidated by / don’t feel they have the time and knowledge needed to build a PC yourself. I see this less as a device intended for PC users/power users, and more targeted towards people leaving console ecosystems. It seems like a really good device for that, too.

Denuvo notably impacts both the performance and long term preservation of games. I imagine many people might buy a game, then download the cracked version without denuvo just for the performance gain.

That’s a separate issue from what I’m having. It only doesn’t work on my verizon cell service. Unfortunately it makes stoat not an option for me.

Yeah, I get “address not found” regardless of browser. I’ll probably be keeping a closer eye on fluxer.

Stoat, both its app and website refuse to open on my mobile data. I doubt it’s only happening to me. Teamspeak at least lets people host and have control of their own servers.

Another point, I am against purchasing the switch 2, as I am any new device using rechargeable lithium ion batteries. A large amount of the supply chain is mined via slave labor in Congo, and there’s not a good way to determine if it was or wasn’t. Better to use the device you already have.

I see where you’re coming from, but I think this attitude is rather shortsighted. Emulation is about much more than piracy, and I for example, run my switch library on my pc. I have my switch, and it’s essentially a game dumping device because I have such a better experience running those games on an emulator. Why should I spend money on another switch or a switch 2 to still have a worse experience than I’m getting now? Modding my games is easy, I can use and rebind any controller I want, and run most of my games without having to swap to another device. I also care about the long term preservation of my games, and unfortunately my switch won’t last forever, it’s already in rough shape as is. As far as switch 2, work on emulation now is going to make the preservation of their games long term possible. Emulating switch 2 doesn’t mean you don’t own one, or purchase your games, not by default. Ultimately though, even if someone pirates their games for switch 2, Nintendo is fine monetarily. They’ll be okay.

As a hobby, go in without expectations. Share the games you like, talk about things you find interesting. As a small streamer you won’t get a lot of viewership right away, but don’t worry about it. As long as you’re having fun that’s what matters.

They just won’t function properly. There are permissions problems and while some games might work, you will run into games that simply won’t launch, or that have regular crashes, among other issues. I recommend installing the games you want to play on Linux there, and the ones you can’t on windows.

Just putting the ISO directly into the ventoy folder on the USB should just work, it’s odd that you had to mount it and drag the files. If you’re trying to use games installed on one drive between windows and Linux, I do not recommend attempting that. Windows can’t natively read Linux drive formats like ext4, and if you try to play games on an NTFS drive on Linux you WILL run into problems. Your cloud saves should just work normally though.
