I play Starcraft 2 through Proton, it works pretty well. These days pretty much all distros are perfectly fine for gaming, maybe with the exception of Debian stable. If you’re new, I’d recommend staying away from Arch and derivatives like Manjaro. Also try to keep things simple for yourself and avoid flatpaks, snaps, and appimages.

I did just that with Windows 7 long past its support date. All my gaming was in Windows, all my work and everything else in Linux. You can do that in 10 too and in fact it will probably become easier for you after support ends, because there will be no new Windows Updates to trash your bootloader.

Edit: Don’t run programs from ntfs drives, icky stuff can happen. Just reinstall your games in Linux when you play them there. Gaming is also really good in Linux now, I’m primarily a gamer and do it all in Linux!

Nice

I saw this problem for the first time yesterday. Run dmesg to look for errors from the kernel, for me I had amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data. I took this to mean that my system couldn’t communicate with the monitor to change brightness anymore. When my system is idle, it first dims the monitor before turning it off, so when I wake it back up it’s stuck on low brightness like this. Simply turning my monitor off and back on seemed to fix it.

I know they’re not for everyone, but Smart Cars are actually devoid of Smart as in IOT. If you’re not huge, get in one and try it out. I have a gas one and it’s my favorite car ever, and I last drove a Porsche Boxter. They’re fast enough, sip gas (or electricity I’m sure) and are so easy to drive. The turning radius is like 90 degrees and it’s so nice having the front of the car stop where your feet are instead of a giant protruding hood. They’re very cheap too and they’re made by Mercedes so it’s easy enough to get them worked on.

Bro you’re messing with wine prefixes? You already know more than most and clearly have the motivation and ability to do what you want. You’ll go far, just google what you need when you need it like the rest of us :)

Youtube channels have RSS feeds, I also subscribe to Slashdot and a few webcomics and Neatorama.

Develop an alcohol addiction, seems to work for others.

It’s the price of bleeding edge :) Hope you find what you’re looking for in Nobara, my dude.

I’ve had the same issues with Endeavour, sometimes you get buggy software and need to roll back. I do a full system backup once a week and update once or twice a day (I like updating frequently as it makes it obvious which package broke your system). When I get a bad package I just restore from backup but exclude /home. Then from there I install packages one at a time until I find that bad one and then just ignore it for a while. It really hasn’t been too bad. I don’t think you’ll find anything like the AUR if you start distrohopping. Debian is the king of set it and forget it, but it might be a shock to go back older packages of everything.

I’ve heard “reverse bullet hell”, it’s decent.

Chicken nuggets.

Bash was the first language I learned, got pretty decent at it. Now what happens is I think of a tiny script I need to write, I start writing it in Bash, I have to do string manipulation, I say fuck this shit and rewrite in Python lol

Rule 8? This has nothing to do with PC gaming. Glad he got banned though, fuck 'em.

I wish everything was put into ~/.config or whatever the proper place was. Oh you’re used to your ssh config being ~/.ssh as it has for years? So make a symlink! Everyone wins.

Imagine the progress the computer industry could have made without Microsoft killing any every bit of competition. Although sometimes I wonder if Linux wouldn’t have taken off as a reaction.

protip: put bind -s 'set mark-symlinked-directories on' in your ~/.bashrc and also bind -s 'set completion-ignore-case on' because why not :)

Use it and redshift anyway, what kind of exploitable vuln could possibly be found in it?

I use SyncMe which synchronizes smb shares to your phone. It’s great once you have it set up, but it does take a little setup. Gotta have shares and whatnot.
