  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If you really want to get into the sticks with my setup, my desktop pc is actually technically running Proxmox, a Debian-based VM hypervisor suite, and my Arch desktop OS is actually running as a VM on it with hardware passthrough for my GPU and a bunch of other shit. So an extra layer of complexity there hahaha

    Learning curve for sure, but definitely worth it!
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I like Windows, because it's old and has a lot of stuff. Plus I'm familiar with it, and I don't think I'll be switching to Linux any time soon.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's why I stuck with it for so long. I just don't like Windows 11 and had no plans to ever upgrade to it, and my time on Windows 10 is running out until it goes EOL lol

    I've got applications to make Windows look 10x the more better.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I thought it would be interesting to use Linux on an actual computer lol

    now, let's see if it's charged enough to boot up
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    tbh I haven't even used this thing in YEARS- most likely 2022/2023
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    nope, nothin' yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh here's an actual tip, if you're not aware, if you use Steam make sure you go into settings, compatibility, and "enable steam play for all other titles". Then you can run Windows native games under Proton
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    wow 0_0
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I've got to look into that once I install it!
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Isn't Proton more advanced at running Windows files than any other?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Proton is a compatibility layer built on top of WINE, developed by Valve, and is usually the best way (or one of) of running Windows games on Linux. Most games I've tried "just work", i.e. Click install, then click play, and there you go. Occasionally you have to change the Proton version they run with but usually the default settings are fine. Anticheat doesn't always work but that's all up to whether the game developers enable Linux support for the anticheat or not.
