No, $70 for the license to play a remake.

This is amazing news for anyone who games on Linux, whether you use Valve’s hardware or not.

Most of what I know about Trixie is that it was so easy to upgrade that the only configuration I had to fix was changing the clock back to 24hr time.

I LOVED figuring out the problems, even if I wanted to pull my hair out.

I recently dumped M$, and in my decision I expected the learning curve to be a downside, but what I’ve experienced is joy and accomplishment in learning new things.

I’d go further to say that learning Windows teaches you about Windows but learning Linux teaches you about computers.

The crazy thing about multiplayer games like this that the players are expected to provide the content and pay for the privilege. I wanna pay $70 to be an NPC in someone else’s game.

What’s good about these games? your playing other people.

What’s bad about these games? your playing other people.

Psensor is a graphical widget on top of lm_sensors that’s shows constantly updated temp/fan/usage info. It’s similar to HWMonitor on Windows.

For what it’s worth, I’d never heard of this game before.

I’m trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.

I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little ‘x’ is scary and weird.

I’m rocking a GTX 1660 and have no plans to upgrade. Ray-tracing is a scam and all the “AAA” titles that are too vram hungry for my card are not that attractive anyway.

It’s good to have a rational for your choices. And we know it can’t be because you think Microsoft makes good software that you enjoy using.

Linux is easier to install than Windows. With the new Win11 requirements, Linux is the only choice for PC hardware more than 5yo. And like you say, hardware drivers just work. This used to be Windows major advantage, but now the chance you run into a compatibility issue is about the same for either OS.

One day, a handheld running Linux will emulate Mario Kart Wold. A Nintendo product will never run a Steam game.

When any game changes ToS, the refund window should reset.

I installed Ubuntu back when that was popular, and insisted on having all the graphical bling, like 3d cube that would spin to change desktops. And windows that shook like jello when you moved them.

Of course all this messing around by an amateur did nothing for stability and after 3 or 4 frustrating issues I went back to Windows.

There are workarounds to almost every issue you may have. You can run Windows in a VM for software that requires it, or dual boot. M$ Office can be ran in a browser now. There is no reason to buy a license, just DL windows10 direct from M$ and never register, all they do is lock you out of some display options and add a watermark to your desktop.

A paid version of Linux (almost) isn’t a thing. You can buy the install media, you can donate to a foundation, or you can subscribe for support.

If you’re paying for the software, it’s not Linux or your being cheated. That’s weird and I didn’t know that.

There is an unintended benefit to putting an obstacle between people who don’t know how to use the terminal and pasting code into it.

I am a Linux noob as far as the desktop goes. But I’m quite comfortable in the terminal because for years I’ve maintained a home server running Debian. After I install the OS, I unplug the keyboard and monitor and the only way to talk to that box is through SSH.

I went back to Windows10 so I could dual-boot with Secure Boot turned off. My system will dual boot popOS or Debian without issue. Just make sure to install windows first.
