John Carter. I just... Liked it! I feel like it was so close to being a big deal, and it got Focus Group-ed into mediocrity. Like, they could have called it "A Princess of Mars", leaned into its legacy of being this epic thing, but instead they buried it.

I meant to say "accept", but I think it works either way...

I support you!

I had to walk a classmate through how to install a program in Windows. You know, go to the website, hit download, wait for it to finish, next next next, etc. We're two weeks away from getting our diplomas. In IT.

Yup. A few games are like that for me. I set Steam to use compatibility with all games, and the only ones that don't work at all are the anti-cheat ones. Even the new Monster Hunter works great for me. I have a mix of Nvidia and AMD GPUs, so it's not just smug Linux AMD talking, either.

I find that a number of my games don't say they're Linux compatible, but work just fine. But that's not what everyone says.

I tried it in Lutris and in a VM, neither worked. I never tried it just in Wine. Hmm... Well, I have two weeks left of school, so I don't know if it's worth trying anymore.

I agree, and I take it this far: "I worked hard and paid for my house, why should some lazy loafer get housing for free? I paid 24,000$ in tuition, why should kids get free college?" I think that, at some point, one guy has to be the first guy to benefit from progress, and all the people who didn't benefit just have to suck it up. I would 100% pay a much higher tax rate if it meant that homelessness was gone, hunger was gone, kids got free education... I'm Canadian, so I don't need to say this about health care. Yeah, I paid an awful lot of mortgage, but if someone else gets a free house? Good!

I've used Bazzite on some older hardware and was surprised by how much came pre-installed and just worked. That said, my gaming machines are all Fedora for no good reason, other than I like it, I hate snaps, and it's what I'm used to. I have Mint on my convertible, and it is really quite good for getting used to Linux after windows, and it'll do it all too. Ubuntu has the advantage of being the best documented of all the distros, but a few decisions they've made of late have annoyed me, so if I want Ubuntu, I get Debian instead.

If you plan on dual booting, remember to disable fast startup on the windows side, or you won't be able to access the windows partition(s) as read/write in Linux. I have to dual boot for school, (God damn you, Lockdown Browser!) But as soon as I'm done, I'm dropping MS like the hot steaming pile it is.

Also, if you use a really easy to remember password... I like P@ssw0rd! Easy to remember, and nobody will ever guess it because, get this... The 'o' is actually a zero!

Can't cancel within 24 hours. Can rebook. Rebook for next week. Wait a day, cancel.
