i followed a “install any linux distro in 5 minutes” guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly
as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane
anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing
also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection
What did you find difficult about making the switch? I think I was in a similar boat a couple years ago when I made the switch but it wasn’t a hassle until I started trying to run pirated software and I had to learn some things.
The most difficult part was buying a 1080 way back in 2014 and suffering the consequences of NVIDIA 12 years later lmao, i haven’t tried any pirated stuff yet so im sure that will be an experience
I had an NVIDIA card when I made the switch as well, a 1650. I’ve actually had more issues since switching to an AMD card because Blender works nicely with CUDA but not AMD’s equivalent.
Is it possible to import executables into steam and force its compatibility stuff onto it?
In theory, yes. In practice, it has never once worked for me the way everyone says it does. Just use Lutris. It actually works.
I recommend lutris for that. I use it for my pirated games and it preloads the necessary configuration automatically.
Yes
Yeah it totally is, but it’s less organized than the dedicated solutions because there’s dependencies, like Microsoft Visual C++ or whatever that you have to handle for each piece of software, and Steam is a bit clumsy for that. So it’s nice to use Lutris or Heroic instead.
