How can you convince anyone to get off these ? Everyone I’ve showed lemmy to is terrified it’s a virus, and what chat platforms are there besides messenger that we can convince anyone to go to? Maybe I need smarter friends, lol.

Thank you for this ! Great tips

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.

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.

Common elite dangerous rule

I love cars (own several) and most are over 20 years old. Why? They were better. Smaller. Less tech. Better looking. Not controllable by your government/corporation (Elmo TeSSSla). I hate almost every new bloated rolling ad infested garbage i see now.
