He/Him 🏳️🌈 🏴☠️ 🇬🇧
I’ve only had like 3 games from FitGirl not work fine installing with Lutris.
2 of them needed some dependency like .NET installed first, and only one I could get working at all but the DODi version worked fine.
Everyone kept telling me Wine sucks even before I switch to Linux. But I’ve had it work fine a lot more times than not, even for some old obscure software that barely works on Windows 10 anymore.
I’m still a relative newcomer and switched fully in 2023 after having zero experience with Linux before that year.
I feel like I’ve only just gotten comfy with regular Linux and don’t feel like reworking my setup around the quirks of an atomic distro.
And if you count the Steamdecks “SteamOS” then the only time I’ve remembered it isn’t standard Arch is when it’s “atomicness” is forcing me to do workarounds for something that I can easily do on my Arch based desktop.
But I’d give NixOS a try if their docs page didn’t block my VPN when literally no other FOSS or Corpo site does…
EndeavourOS because someone said it was Arch for lazy people, and I’m a lazy people.
I did use vanilla Arch before for a while, but just ended up being more work for the same setup with more issues from stuff like missing dependencies I didn’t have to worry about with Endeavour.
Only other distro I’ve used was Pop!_OS when I first tried out Linux.
Just without the ridiculous tie.
Think most people just use ROM as a catch all for “console video game format” these days.
As a Librewolf user I wouldn’t make it default for casual users this kind of distro is aiming for. Sure enabling logins to use it as a main browser is piss easy, but that’s still more work than the average person wants to put into setting up their system.
Waterfox would be the better choice since it’s just default Firefox in every way besides Mozilla’s spyware.
Gives me more Windows 8 flashbacks than Mac.
An interface that works well on touchscreens, but feels clunky on mouse and keyboard and the general theming of it looks more phone like than a desktop PC. Gnome itself being harder to theme doesn’t help with that.
That being said I’d pick Gnome over all else for touch devices. I threw it on an old Surface 3 and it worked better than the original Win8 interface.
I know at least one person who said they use Googles DNS because it stopped them getting pissy letters from their ISP.
Some people only care about privacy to the point were they don’t see the immediate consequences for their actions.
It’s not really an issue for the end user. But it’s basically made for companies to take advantage of free hobbyist developers without needing to give anything back in return.
So if you’re the kind of person who runs to foss software to get away from corporate tech bull, having a license that benefits companies more than users just kinda feels scummy.
Betterfox is less hardcore about privacy than Arkenfox, It’s more a balance of privacy and convenience.
Arkenfox is the privacy above all else approach which means some more invasive sites can break.
Both are good but Betterfox is easier to deal with for most users.
My ex had one of them RGB everything rainbow gamer PCs.
Windows would auto boot to update in the middle of the night and turn the whole apartment into a rave…
The only time I did was WAY back during the launch of Firefox Quantum. It was a huge back-end change pushed overnight to the main branch, breaking most extensions including one I similar couldn’t live without at the time. I even switched to PaleMoon for a while until everything sorted itself out.
Been using LibreWolf for almost 2 years now which does a good job at gutting all the parts of Firefox updates I don’t want.
Welcome to the Club!
I had a similar issue around 2 years ago now on POP where my bootloader didn’t even show up in the bios anymore.
If you still have the a USB with the live boot of POP you can use it to recover your files n stuff.
Can someone correct me here.
If I have i2P enabled on my qBittorent client and I start seeding a torrent downloaded from a non-i2P connection.
Does my seed of it allow others to download that torrent through i2P?
qBittorrent! You can even add a search plugin directly in the client.
Was using Deluge before on Windows and for a while when I switched to Linux but started having issues with it.
I still got a torrent from 2005 seeding, with 2 other people.
Yup I’ve been using Firefox-UI-Fix for a long time now.
Used it back on Firefox and it worked fine when I switched to Librewolf.
I was surprised how many co-workers my age and younger (GenZ) don’t even own a laptop let alone a desktop.
I know it was becoming more niche, but didn’t expect it to happen that fast…
Pop!_OS in early 2023, I used it for about 3 weeks before my bootloader broke so bad even Pops own recovery tool couldn’t fix it. I went back to Windows 10 for another month before trying again with EndeavourOS and haven’t had to use Windows since.
Funnily the thing that triggered me to install Linux on a spare SSD was I couldn’t play Battlefield 4 on my Windows install anymore because the EA app randomly stopped working even after reinstalling the whole thing, Got the EA app and BF4 working on Pop within an hour.
