Imma be honest, outside of Proton I just hate dealin with wine.

Which is why i liked Lutris and its install scripts so much.

but i will definitely bookmark that link in case i give wine a try again. tyvm

is there a website like lutris has with all the install scripts others have made?

yep, this is how I made my transition into linux

Set up dualbooting windows 7 and Linux.

I think I only booted into 7 once in the following year, to recover some stuff off the drive before nuking it.

i’d say its just an upgraded shield thats badged for nintendo.

only console that isnt just a PC with gate keeping is the Switch. Which is just basically a fancy tablet with gatekeeping.

Unless you live in a place with inherently unreliable power, or are flashing in the middle of a thunderstorm/tornado/hurricane/typhoon/earthquake/etc, Flashing is relatively safe as long as you follow directions.

And those risk could be completely eliminated with a dual bios setup, where even if there WAS a failure, it could fall back on the other bios and still work flawlessly. or even better, let you flash the currently inactive one, and switches that to primary upon successful flash. I think even flashback lets you recover from a corrupted bios, too?

So yes, it circles around back to them being cheap and having problems with their process, because they are cheap.

Always gonna be someone that argues.

Hell, if I said Nuclear Bombs were dangerous, someone would come in and be all like " Yeah, well, you say that, but Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived two atomic bombs, so they cant be that dangerous!"

Turning your TV off and on frequently shortens its lifespan significantly, You know… Honestly, turning anything off and on frequently shortens its lifespans significantly, even lightbulbs.

Never turn my PC off, regardless of OS. (Edit. under normal day to day operation. I only technically turn my PC off and unplug it on the rare occasions where I have to travel and be away from home for more than a couple days, and I turn off and unplug most my expensive electronics when I do so, partly as fire prevention partly to just protect them)

Introduces to much thermal and electrical stress for my taste, and most assuredly shortens life span of the system/components from my personal experience.

THen your drivers are borked, or something else is horribly broken, cause I played Cyberpunk on Windows with a 6700 on a rx580 Red Devil (I didnt get the 6700 until later), on mostly medium settings, and got playable FPS, way back when the game released, when it was far less optimized and far more buggy.

Yeah, but its a little different for gaming/tech stuff.

Cant expect the average person to know about nestle’s atrocities, because they arent active in nestle communties online, engaging with other nestle consumers, etc etc.

Gaming/Tech people tend to be more online, more engaged, more like to follow news about the subject, etc. More like to be online criticizing the issues, as well… and you still end up with shit like this, because like I said, gamers are… on the whole, self centered self gratifying idiots that, no matter how much they cry about the great injustice of it all, still cant do without their shiny.

No. It wont.

because while there may be the rare people who are willing to speak with their wallet and make a personal sacrifice…

The vast, overwhelming bulk of gamers are myopic little weasels that’ll keep shilling out the cash, even while actively crying about the awful things they are supporting, because they are too afraid of missing the next shiny wave to dare make any kind of stand or sacrifice.

I am genuinely curious why people are so angry and are jumping to conclusions,

because GoG was just sold, and its a tale as old as time for a beloved company, to get new ownership, and immediately start making stupid decisions and ruin everything.

Or your toaster what its prefered income bracket is.

Exactly.

But there is a very small minority of people who just get irrational and hostile to anything done wrong on linux, especially if its not the end users fault.

Not how any of this is supposed to work.

i got pissed off with mod organizer when I lost an entire fallout 4 run because it just suddenly decided my mods didnt exist anymore. Just poofed, into the ether. and no, it wasnt cause a fallout update, this was before the latest update debacle.

Theres no problem with Prism launcher that i’m aware of.

If I want to play minecraft with microtransactions I’ll just join a youtubers minecraft server.

I’ve never used a commodore 64, I found one at a garage sale for like 20 bucks like 15 years ago and didnt get it, and to this day I STILL kick myself over not buying it.
