I don't really get how to get into that. How do you find instances with more than 10 people on them ? Plus like you said, I have to make a new account for every instance which is super annoying

The Running Man and 1984 coming to life at once. What a time.

Amazing song, but every other song on the album is far better imo.

I just wasn't sure fedora based (bazzite) would be as easy to troubleshoot as mint (Debian based) since arguably debian/Ubuntu are the most popular distro.

Doesn't gnome have that sticky app?

I'm still gonna have to dual boot for the foreseeable future, but I force myself to usually boot mint unless I want to play any vr/multiplayer/racing games (which is often, unfortunately). But I do really enjoy how much you can do in linux and learning it.

Bazzite refused to boot for me..I stuck with mint as it's always ran pretty good. Old amd fx 8 core and a Radeon rx580

I've been hard at trying to get games i like to work in mint. It takes a lit of time but it's going ok. Like you said though kind of sucks for multi-player. I can't even get diabolical multi-player to work (after I looked up how to fix the instant crashing audio driver issue) . It's also a lot of qork getting any racing game to work with my DFGT...even though linux does see the axis and buttons, the force feedback is all messed up. Wish I knew how to code so I could fix these issues! But I don't have 12 hours a day to ever learn that

By design. Soon ms won't allow you to even have the OS installed, it will only be internet accessible (no internet=no pc usage) so they can steal more data for free.

Can confirm. Made many sparkler/aerosol can boom.booms

Do you guys also keep a notepad file on your desktop with all the usual commands and shortcuts on it? I can't imagine remembering them all otherwise... and I kind of cringe at the non stop DDG ing I have to do to do some basic liux stuff.

Right, and subaru stupidly quit making the wrx wagon in 2014, no idea why. There's also the appeal of early 2000s gm, dirt cheap and easy to fix. Like an 03 Tahoe. Just not good on gas. You can find some of those in an I5 though which is cool.

 

Maybe a dumb question, the biggest reason I can't fully move is i do enjoy VR and sim racing, both of which I've seen have limited linux support still, and though I enjoy figuring things out and fixing stuff, I don't want to always be tinkering instead of just racing/gaming.

Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it's totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?

I did just order a 2 tb drive to put linux mint on, to give gaming on linux another try. I haven't had a linux install for a few years now and kind of miss it. But i do wonder if I'll need to reinstall all my games again or can just access them off the existing hard drives (I know, NTFS formatted wont be optimum for linux).

If I'm in the wrong spot to ask, please inform.
