As a guy without ADHD this has always amplified my drinking. I can get to sleep while trashed. Turns off the mind. In my 50s I’ve tried to sub geeky audiobooks like the Aeneid or true crime…not always effective.Sometimes the book will end leaving me in silence and if I wake in silence I might as well be up. It’s a shitty thing to go through. Especially your entire life.

Also use something like Balena Etcher to keep an image handy - Have an nbernic with 16k games on it and what a pain it would be to go and reassemble all that.

Dammit - found Bazzite one week ago and love it - now its embroiled in a controversy.

The high seas still has it’s copy as well. Heck many times I find the copy on the Internet Archive ready to go.

Woohoo ! Happy Anniversary! Deleted manually 13 years of posts and comments.

Generally though when you update Mint you won’t get bombarded with 20 UI changes and some AI crap and naggin and advertising and strong arm tactics to get you to use their cloud services.

It’s not for everyone and that’s ok.

I’ve been using Linux since 98 and never have I ever seen it in so many conversations. 18,000 windows games now run. Distros like Bazzite and the Steam OS are getting kids into Linux. My son… Windows die hard that he was just told me he is not only running Linux but has canceled all streaming services and is hosting his own server. There’s never been a better time to help people get into the fold.

If you have a game that only runs on windows right click on it go to manage and chose compatibility then pick the latest version of proton and relaunch the game. To do it globally First, log into Steam using your login credentials. Then, click on “Steam” in the top-left corner, and select “Settings”. Go to the “Compatibility” settings, then locate the “Steam Play” section. Toggle on the “Enable Steam Play for all other titles,” choose the latest Proton version from the dropdown menu, click “OK,” and restart Steam. My whole library works.

I tried out Bazzite and was pretty happy with the out of the box gaming. Think I’ll consider it for the wife’s laptop when 10 runs out. Kinda torn about giving her a dual boot with LTSC 10 and Linux or just going full in because it’ll be me on the support end.

Fit Girl Repacks here we go.

I actually had a Linux update do this once when it updated grub. Took a bit to fix but nothing was lost.

I learned reality based shows suck.

Wine or Proton will make just bout anything you run on windows run.

Pray I don’t alter it further.

It’s fun once you get all your stuff working and know what you’re doing. Even then it can be a challenge at times. I started in 1998 with suse Linux and it was just a brag back then.

Playing on a windows gaming laptop with the engine.ini fix … Hardware lumen settings affect crash frequency… if I have it maxed there are some areas that are so “sparkly” the game will gracefully crash with an error send option. Also the nights of the nine bug is still present where you go to all 9 shrines but you only show 8 so you have to find an alternate shrine to complete the quest.

Leave Reddit.

There’s an engine.ini file on Nexus that greatly improves performance. I’ve been using it for a few days on my gaming laptop with settings pretty much maxed and find it more than acceptable. The game has crashed 3 or 4 times though … Not sure if related.

I run a pi hole and use my laptop (Linux) connected to a projector. No hassle.
