The way I see it, Linux is supposed to be open, including sharing of knowledge. I am a big fan of that ideology. Information should be shared. And if I didn’t have folks willing to help me, I’d never have learned all I know. So I try to pass it on!
Let me know if you’d like some help, and I can try when I am not at work.
I mean, use the tool that fits the job. I could probably help point you in the right direction. Is it from steam, or straight EA play app?
Not super familiar with openSUSE, but you could get protonup-qt and install Proton-GE.
For RGB try OpenRGB!
Proton has modules for EasyAntiCheat. I have played Halo on Arch. I don’t know about Helldivers, or Apex. But I absolutely know anticheat is an issue on Linux. Well if you ask me it is more so that these Kernel level anti-cheat mechanisms need to die.
I haven’t tried VR in Linux, I did sell my oculus, and haven’t gotten a replacement.
I use Reaper, and it’d fantastic. It’s more so the plugins that are an issue since VSTs aren’t supported too well on Linux. There are peripherals that don’t play well as well, but that’s vendor specific. My Line 6 gear for example.
I am full time on Arch. Ditched Windows 6+ months ago, and i won’t turn back. It has come with issues, but I’ve treated like a learning experience.
I am using an EVGA 3090 FTW on Arch, and if I had known when building my PC that Nvidia has issues, I would have gone the AMD route. But, I have gotten my 3090 usable, quite well actually with some tweaking.
I had issues using Wayland at first, but driver updates have helped.
I have wanted to check out NixOS, but I haven’t yet.
I can’t speak for everyone, but many hardware peripherals software for configuration and control don’t work.
For gamers that could be companion software for RGB and mwcro customization on keyboards, controllers and other peripherals too.
For myself, it would be music production software (VSTs and otherwise.) I know about different compatability layer softwares out there, but it’s a band-aid.
I made the switch to Arch and these 2 things have been my struggle.
For my music hardware I have run a windoes VM with virt-manager/qemu with USB passthrough. That sort of works, but it’s an extra thing to fuss with.
I even went down the rabbithole of trying to use usbip to get wine to recognize my hardware, with no success of wine seeing the bound port.
Its not flawless but I’m getting there.
I will not go back to windows. Even if it means changing my habits and use cases.
I’m always curious tochear what games people aren’t able to run in Linux. Which ones are you unable to run?
I am running Arch with KDE and Wayland on my system with an i7-12700KF and an EVGA 3090 FTW and I can’t say it has been “flawless”
Once I setup Arch on it with the proper configuration, and using the Proprietary drivers, I can game on it and everything else I need to do.
If I had a do over, I would have gone all AMD but when I built this PC I was on Windows. But never again.
I kept saying once upon a time"I’ll make the switch to Linux but X doesn’t work, so not yet. "
I dual booted for a while. That “a while” ended when Windows ate GRUB.
I had enough. I decided enough was enough. I kept windows on one SSD, just in case I wanted to go back. That didn’t last long, I wiped that drive, and formatted it to BTRFS. Now none of my drives are NTFS.
For the one case I “need” Windows, I spun up a VM (and configured USB passthrough) for Windows. That is for a guitar pedal and amp that I need Windows for updates. But I don’t remember the last time I booted up that VM.
For music recording and production I installed Reaper for Linux natively, but that was an easy transition considering Reaper was what i used in Windows. Sure VSTs were a big concern for me, so I investigated VST bridge type software. And I can’t recall the ones I investigated. But this is where I am at on my journey.
I don’t care how “easy” it is to just stay the same and keep using Windows, it isn’t for me. I don’t agree with their data collection policies. I don’t agree with the “black box” mentality. I want to know what is happening on my system. I want to understand what I am using. And at a certain point with Windows, I just don’t have the ability, tools, or inside scoop to fully learn that.
With Linux, the journey may have taken time, effort, and willingness to troubleshoot and learn but it ultimately is a better experience.
There have been very few games I couldn’t get working on my system, but those games aren’t enough to sell out my ideals. I will never go back.
I would rather be a farmer.
There isn’t “a best” exactly.
There are some things to consider though.
Its a nuanced question. There isn’t a 1 size fits all approach to this.
For me, going Arch was the move. It fit my usage habits.
Issues with using AUR was enough for me to stay clear and not recommend to people.
Not that I’d necessarily recommend Arch as something for someone just getting into Linux or anything, but if you’re deadset on using something derivative, I would just recommend going with Arch.
This install scriot makes it no harder to install than anything. And the wiki is robust.
However, if you don’t want to learn how your OS works, and troubleshoot fringe issues, don’t use Arch.
My route into Linux I wouldn’t tell others to take.
Could you lendna little help to adding Mulls user.JS please? I haven’t had luck in ways I’ve tried. I am rooted.
This is just what’s new. Their documentation and dedicated pages about linkwarden have more info.
Did you read what features linkwarden has?
One feature your browser wouldn’t do without some sort of add-in is create archived snapshots of pages in various formats. Helpful if pages go down.
That’s just one feature. I’d guarantee there are more…
If you read a bit about it I’m sure you’ll learn more.
I run Arch on both my PC and Laptop. I self host a few containers to stream media from. Either use web front end, or native apps.
I both have a job, and maintain all of this. For fun.
Laptop, or a mini PC
I don’t connect my Roku TV to the internet, and always use external devi e via HDMI.
I ditched reddit, and what’s being described in this thread is largely part if why I left. I won’t go back.
Always glad to help! A little kindness goes a long ways!
And glad to hear you got it working, and thanks for the update! I love when people do that. If I ask about an issue online I go back and update with the solution in hopes it helps someone!
