At least the floppy fits in a standard envelope ( as long ad we’re talking about the 3.5" )

I wish I could actually vote for the pirate party. But I can’t here. Didn’t show up in the election list. They were 2 or elections ago

Huh. Interesting. I’ll give that a try too then :)

Tbh it was kind of my fault. I should’ve used the general updater that comes with nobara by default.

Edit: the devpod issue is a bit weird and not driver related. Its got something to do with SSL when its trying to clone the git repo. But I can run the clone command myself just fine. Honestly the devcontainer hasnt really worked out great for me in combination with jetbrains.

It might work better with vscode, but that editor makes me want to throw my device out the window. All the love to people who use it/enjoy it on a daily basis but it is just not for me.

I ended up with nobara. I might give bazzite a go at one point, but more out of interest. Nobara is treating me just fine!

I ended up with nobara ( KDE ). Though if i had to reinstall I might give bazzite a go.

No hate for nobara though. It’s working fine gaming wise. Had a gfx issue once after an update, which was resolved by just running the nobara system updater.

I have some issues getting devpods to work. But that is completely unrelated to gaming :D

When i see stuff like that I want to buy it. And then I remember I’m not a graphic designer. And unfortunately I’m terrible at any type of layouting or drawing. Be it webdesign or otherwise.

It looks like a great tool though. And very fairly priced.

Here’s a License change which implies we’re datafarming all your assets.

Here’s my word that we’re absolutely not goijf to be doing that. Trust me bro.

I had dabbled in gaming on Linux but never made the jump. After reading about recall I spent a week making my choice on OS of choice ( and then I switched a week after :') ).

I’m fully on Linux now. Even if they fully back down from windows recall I dont need an OS that’s trying to sell me something based on whatever I do in it.

It was my final straw as well.

Edit: and it hasn’t really been bad either. The shader compilation after every gfx driver update is a bit annoying. That’s about it.

I’ll probably run into something at one point. Like some anti cheat that doesn’t work and is preventing me from playing the game.

And this way you’ll be sure the intermediate site isn’t also scraping your data.

Is Windows mobile still a thing? I thought they meant the app in the windows store ( desktop/laptop).

Last time I saw somebody use a windows phone was 10 years afk :/

Get off the gaming market EA.

I can’t believe I’m actually going to have to become a retro gamer. Sigh.

I hope gamers will unite. Though it seems far more likely that kids will just buy it because “wooooo hype. Who cares about ads, I already watch a bazillion a day when doomscrolling Instagram”.

Must be the evidence was more damning than the SCT of destroying evidence

But we just bought tool X that is ISO certified AND soc2. How are we not secure yet? Does the tool not work?!?

Lets get one thing straight.

This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

I’ve had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.

I didn’t really do any CLI commands on nobara. So it’s pretty straightforward. I guess the best experience might be with AMD.

I’m running a ryzen 7 and gtx 2080ti( I think ).

It’s about 4 years old, but it still gets the job done. I’ve had no gfx issues. Nobara installed the nvidia drivers on its own.

If you have a spare HD. I’d recommend giving it a try. I ran popos parallel for a short while to try out gaming.

I was angry and leaped off the deep end. New OS and everything. I have a technical background so with google I probably could save my own ass :D

For hots: install lutris through the nobara app store. Start it and leave it for a few minutes while you run other updates or something ( only the very first time ).

Go to the settings/preferences, ( three dots top right ), click runners, scroll all the way down to wine.

Click the cog and change the runtime from wine-… to proton-GE. Thrn you can just install the battle.net app through lutris. From the battle.net app you can install hots.

Using the built in wine-… Runtime I got errors like missing Microsoft arial or unable to validate certificate.

with proton it just instantly worked.

You can also add the battle.net installer as an external steam app and run/install it that way. The only downside would be that you can’t play a steam game AND have bnet running ( which you can through lutris ).

Exiting battle.net doesn’t seem to be enough to stop lutris running it. So you might have to click the stop button in lutris if you want to restart it.

Battle.net is a bit wonky. But once you’ve got it IP and running it’s okay.

The main setup went smooth. I can recommend nobara which is what I used. I tried garuda as well, but it wasn’t my style. Personal preference, no hate :).

Most steam games work pretty good ( see protondb ). ( make sure to set your steam settings > compatibility to all games ).

Any game with invasive anti-cheat will likely not work. LoL and valorant come to mind. I think some of the cs2 ones like faceit won’t work on Linux. But standard cs2 and competitive work fine.

Battle.net gave me some issues on lutris until I forced it to proton.

Overall I’ve had a good experience. Sometimes a weird issue if I alt tab ( hots ) that it comes back super tiny. I worked around it by running it windowed fullscreen.

Overall I’ve no regrets so far. I installed nobara and it’s quite user friendly. I’ve never used a fedora distro before ( more extensive experience with xubuntu/Ubuntu/pop ).

Helldivers 2, heroes of the storm and ff crisis core worked flawlessly.

Hots needs to run full screen ( windowed ) or alt-tab will make the screen tiny for some reason.

So far: no regrets.

When you first play a game it needs to compile the shaders first. So on your initial game there’s a few minutes ramp up time. But any next times you start the game should be fine.

It enticed me to start gaming on Linux. So its definitely doing some enticing
