  • I am glad to see articles like this. For too long I have seen articles saying “sick of this windows bullshit??” Only to find advice on workarounds in windows, or suggestions to use a console, or a fucking phone app. For too long Linux has been treated like the evil twin locked in the attic, never to be spoken of or acknowledged.

    IT IS TIME! TIME TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE RELEASED THE LINUX AND IT WAS THE GOOD CHILD ALL ALONG! BART WAS THE EVIL ONE AFTER ALL! LET IT BE KNOWN!




  • I feel like it got worse. I hit room 46, and was trying to clean up some of the remaining stuff. Had a run with 130 coins, but the gift shop and luxury shop would not appear. When they do appear I have very few coins. I know there are ways to increase my allowance but its a slow grind. Similarly, crafting all the workshop items is pure luck. Filling in all rooms on the board isnt too hard, but still mostly a luck thing. I like the puzzle elements but the rng really killed my motivation to do the extra stuff






  • It depends on the games you like to play. I’m mostly single player or co op, so my biggest issue was actaully because nVidia put out broken drivers earlier this year. Luckily it was pretty easy to roll back to a version before that and wait for a fix. You may need to learn a few terminal commands for that sort of thing but I just searched the internet to learn how, wasnt too hard.

    If you play things like battlefield, CoD, etc., their anti cheat stuff does not play nice with linux. I have not tested these waters. I am currently playing Clair Obscure and Hollow Knight (OG) without issue. Also went through plague tale requiem, split fiction, the alters, everspace, lies of P, outer wilds, tempest rising, steam world build, valheim, path of exile 2 this past year. Lies of P and Tempest Rising are where I ran into issues on nvidia drivers but rollback fixed it. Path of Exile 2 had some other weird issue on boot, I think I had to find a config file to force it to dx12 instead of vulkan to boot. Really these are similar sorts of random issues I have always associated with PC gaming when I was on windows, sometimes shit doesnt work on my hardware and I gotta fiddle with it. Protondb.com can be helpful for troubleshooting when that happens.

    I am using Bazzite which mimics the steam deck OS. I think the hardest part for me was choosing a distro. Bazzite works well for me since 95% of my PC use is gaming, but there are many others to consider if you want to do other things. Some light internet browsing and word processing are about all I do otherwise. You can load a distro onto a USB stick, boot from USB to try it out, and switch around that way to check out some other options. Then install to hard drive for a more permanent decision.
