Why is Linux different than Microsoft? Most of the games I play aren’t “Linux” games, but the identical Windows software running through a compatibility layer on Linux.

The Steam client on Linux has the same “workshop” tab for adding mods. It’s not in every game, but that’s true on Windows too.

Dead Cells is a wonderful game. And it runs natively on Linux

I had to switch to Linux because it wasn’t presented with any option besides Microsoft when I learned how to computer.

Subscription > point of sale. It’s way more profitable to be a landlord than a shop keeper. That’s why everything is subscription now.

do yourself a favor and search your laptop model with Linux install and you’ll get a good idea of what to expect. There are some vendors who don’t play nice with Linux.

There is no way to have a legacy Steam client that’s not maintained but still must authenticate users, transactions, and downloads.

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.
