Much appreciated.

Its my experience. Why do you discount it? Edit … no, wait. I recognize cult behaviour. Don’t explain.

Right. I’m just being cranky because it irritated me. Steam is an outstanding tool. When I had my issues, the linux version was probably less developed.

No. The slider did not turn off. I hacked the metadata to turn it off. That didn’t work either. Annoying as hell.

It was bugged. Did not work as you say. Its been at least a year. Pissed me right the fuk off tho. I’m done w/steam on linux for now.

Its probly still buggy as fuk. I gave up on it.

I struggled with Steam on Linux to undo enabling Proton on a Linux-native game. I wiped a machine to go back to just the native setting. Still didn’t work. Tried hacking the metadata in Steam. Didn’t work. Could not disable Proton.
I get it that everyone is thrilled about this. I’m not.

Heh. This is amusing.
So, bash has loose variables that can be either strings or numbers? Seems like the same instantiation method creates a variable or a string, as needed. Like VBScript.

There’s about 10 minutes worth of fun here. I got to the ‘library’ where it just starts dumping a bunch of ‘spells’ on you. The entire thing consists of 3 directories (rooms) with a few executables that are simple tutorial text dialogs.

Ok. I’m not trying it. I mess with everything.

In a similar theme, I don’t like the latest TrueNAS because if you want to mess with the OS, you gotta force it. Annoying as hell. I built my own nas instead.

Win11 is a better daily driver than any Linux system. (If it was different, I’d probly start hating Linux too.) Win11 HyperV is a well developed virtualization system. Run a VM if you need Linux. There’s also the M$ linux-on-windows thing, but I don’t enjoy having the OS and the guest mix like that, so a VM is best for me.
