Curious about making the switch from Windows (lemm.ee)
 

With all that’s going on. I’ve been really considering setting up a dual boot and testing Linux Mint properly. (i hate virtual desktops, but I have Mint running on one now) I know I have to make some changes to my productivity workload, as I’m an Adobe Lightroom user. I’ll keep that on Windows for now.

But my question is regarding gaming.

I play a lot of varying games, from new singleplayer and multiplayer stuff to old games back up to about 1999. I know I have to do a bunch of research setting things up, but right off the bad I have a question.

What games will not be possible to use on Linux?

For example, will something like Escape from Tarkov work? That’s a game I do not want to even install of there’s a chance it will lead to a ban.

And is comparability with older games better or worse than W11?

I’ve really been noticing the lack of actual news out of the US the past few months. It’s been incredibly weird. And online I’ve mostly seen Americans apologizing and talking about how they’re gonna wait because «It will fuck the MAGAs over even more»

I’m very happy to see you guys doing this. So you have my support!

Hmm. If people like himself were to start using Mastodon and Pixelfed, there would be a bigger increase of users for sure.

Oh, so it didn’t do that much then. Oh well, still good exposure!

This might actually be kind of huge. Doesn’t he have a pretty big outreach?

Why are you so hostile? Calm down.

This is the first time I’m seeing any major movement outside of when Vance visited Vermont on any socials and media I follow.

There are some reasonable and rational criticisms in that statement. But that doesn’t take away the fact that individuals actually do have power if they’re working together. I’m not for a full and complete boycott. But I am 100% for trying to use European alternatives where it’s actually feasible. Like using as little of Googles ecosystem as possible. Or supporting local groceries and products.

There’s so many of these right now it’s hard to actually keep track.

I’m looking into Firefox alternatives as I wanna see what’s available. Being Norwegian, Vivaldi seems like a good choice to replace Firefox on desktop and Safari on iOS. Tried it for a night and it works pretty good. I do however have reservations about it being based on Chromium.

How much power does Google actually have over Vivaldi? And would it actually matter for my quest for degoogling myself?

In case anyone’s wondering. I’m also looking into LibreWolf.

Edit: Rewrote the start as people got too hung up on Firefox.
