By design. Soon ms won’t allow you to even have the OS installed, it will only be internet accessible (no internet=no pc usage) so they can steal more data for free.

Can confirm. Made many sparkler/aerosol can boom.booms

Do you guys also keep a notepad file on your desktop with all the usual commands and shortcuts on it? I can’t imagine remembering them all otherwise… and I kind of cringe at the non stop DDG ing I have to do to do some basic liux stuff.

Going to try this !

Apparently yes, especially for any non mainstream wheels. Also not great vr support overall

Luckily I’ve always been all AMD! But yeah multi-player games are where it kind of sucks for linux. I plan to try it out on my extra hard drive. I know cs2 will work at least ! Game devs need to stop it with kernel level anti cheat trash.

Yeah I hate that shit. I have never logged in with an ms account and I don’t plan to

I love ED also! And vr it’s so fun.

Ah. That’s a good plan. I hate having to change to 11 and give MS the satisfaction

Yeah I figured, which is fine since I don’t play it often.

Nice! It does seem easier than it used to be.

I would be surprised if they’d run well in a VM but I’ll have to try! I have an AMD fx 8 core and a rtx 580 so I think compatibility wise I’ll be good.

Other games I play a lot are cs2 and board game sim, some pubg and gtav (which i know I’d need to use windows for)

Seems like I should stick with Mint then!

Yeah I only have an oculus and I’ve heard mixed results. Thank you for that info,

I did like mint when I used it. You recommend that over bazzite? Seems a lot of people say so good garuda or bazzite for gaming but I’m unfamiliar with them. Used Ubuntu and mint a lot in the past.

Is this a better alternative to going with bazzite or garuda? Or will support be lost once ms moves to win 11 only ? I love linux but I am worried I won’t be able to game or use vr (quest2) without a bunch of work. I play a lot of racing Sims, steam games which I’m fine with, but my friends do play pubg which I’d have to abandon due to the stupid anti cheat. I’d like to not have to dual boot but I may have to for vr…

I so want to make the switch. But I also like to play a lot of old windows racing games from the late 90s, I use vr decently often, and I unfortunately don’t think I can use linux as my main. I suppose I could only keep windows for vr, but yeah I’m unsure. I was thinking bazzite or garuda if I do it.
