Technically game works great.

The admin, on the other hand.. thats your problem.

I am a certified blithering idiot and even I feel like a high society intellectual compared to this picture.

Except it kiiiinda is. Cause look at the number of charges on both sides, and you'll see an egregious swing to the right.

no matter how much you want to push the whole "both sides are the same" shit.

The only way you can push the both sides of are the same shit is by massively and disproportionately blowing up what the left does, and minimizing to outright ignoring what the right does.

Also, left tends to hold itself accountable to corruption and bad behavior, Meanwhile the right.. well, Do I even need to state the obvious?

Don't listen to what anyone else tells you.

It will never get any better for you. Only worse and worse.

Also never, ever, fall in love. The only women that will ever express any interest at all in you are mentally unstable abusers who will hurt you in ways far worse than your family ever did.

same. I have over a thousand games on my steam account and a humble bundle subscription.

I can wait years to pick up the all DLC included gold game of the year edition for 5 bucks on sale.

only time i ever get games on release anymore is if a friend gifts it to me, or if it comes as part of a bundle with new hardware (Like how I got Starfield with my new GPU)

it takes literally no tech savy to open a browser.

Linux is different in many ways from Windows

I kinda want to softly disagree with this point (and i'm sure others will disagree with my disagreement), because the average user pretty much does everything they do in a web browser. A few of them might have to use thunderbird for email, instead of their web browser, and thats about it.

And to be perfectly honest, Theres no significant functional difference, for those average users, between linux and windows. Just got to put the browser and email icons somewhere on the desktop where its visible and thats basically that.

I speak of personal experience (so take it with a grain of salt and skepticism), because I have pretty much my entire family on linux, though to be fair I got them on linux by basically saying "Listen, your computers old, and the OS is no longer supported. Either you can pay me a lot of money to get you a new computer and new version of windows, or I can install linux on what you have for free and you can keep going without any investment". Being cheap, they always chose linux.

in my experience, almost all the terror that rises from the deep with regards to linux, comes the second you try to do anything more intensive than web browsing/email.. Cause they you are running into installing things, tweaking things, problem finding, etc etc.

My main os/game drive is 1tb.

I have 3tbs of mechanical storage for shit that doesnt require performance.

I wish I had about 45tb.. but I also wish I had the dedication and patience to properly catagorize things.. and unfortunately I dont have either. so my current storage is just random folders with random shit dumped in them that i felt i needed at the time, most of which I've never gone back to delete.

I think you will find any place thats well moderated and cracks down on bigotry and hatespeech will skew left.

Weird how that is, huh?

People hate her cause shes

1. A woman
2. Not afraid to point out bullshit
3. Puerto Rican.
4. A democrat.

Do an investigation into the entire supreme court.

I don't care if they are left or right, lib or Con. Investigate them all.

in fact there should be a special government agency dedicated to monitoring and constantly investigating Federal/Supreme court judges in the interests if ethics and impartiality.

Finding solutions from ancient times that arent relevant anymore is one of the major reason why I left ubuntu and switched to Nobara. While I take no pleasure in your suffering, reading your comment does give me enormous joy just on the fact that I am not alone in that problem and criticism.

And I echo that on the peripherals as well, shortly before making the switch from windows to Linux, I splurged and bought myself an expensive mouse, almost entirely because it had a clutch that massively lowered the DPI when pressed, so I could aim easier with sniper rifles and on distant targets since I have hand tremors.

Guess what is the ONLY feature on my mouse that doesnt work on linux? if I'd had the foresight, I'd have just bought my typical 20 dollar shit mouse, and saved myself the 50 bucks.

I have only used it to download older games, so I have no idea how it handles updates.

I had the same problem as Op.

for over a year i couldnt log into my twitch account cause it kept pissing and moaning about my browser not being supported, despite being on a supported version and browser.

persisted through reformats, through LiveCD tryouts, different physical computers, browser resets/reinstalls, and with all addons uninstalled and/or disabled.

Only recently started working again for some reason.

I'd wager twitch is just shit at shit.

thank god I wasnt a streamer wasnt financially dependent on it.

Oh god, I have to install things to do things.

Thats never happened on linux!

AOL has always made its living not on providing a service worthy of the money, but by exploiting the technologically illiterate.

That said, I have a weird nostalgia about AOL since the early era of the internet was defined by my use of AOL, and AOL chatrooms, and "You've got mail" and all the various associated accoutrements, even if I'd love to stab Steve Case in the eye with a brick.

Yeah. There has been more than one moment in recent history alone, much less across my years of linux history, where I genuinely was about 30 seconds from taking the tower off the desk and throwing it out the window because it was getting so. stupidly. frustrating. to do something that would be so brainlessly easy on another platform.

but, that was all extra stuff to gaming. Like, installing a mod into cyberpunk 2077. One mod just (a core/foundation mod, of course, that everything else relies on). refused. to work, despite following the linux/proton guide for it, installing all the extra bits via protontricks,etc etc. Or installing a second program into the same prefix so I could fool around and do some cheaty hacky shit (single player games i've beaten a half dozen time, folks, before the pitchforks come out.)

The straight, core gaming? and controllers? Pretty much a non issue, in my personal experience. Only extra step is to check proton DB to see if it works, and what proton version to use... and unless its multiplayer with nasty invasive anticheat, its fairly certain to work.

I didnt hate Windows until 10/11. I hate the design aesthetic they've taken with it, and I hate the walled garden approach they are slowly moving the OS towards, and the ridiculous overbearing nature of the telemetry data gathering.

I still will argue any day that Windows 7 is the best OS ever made, It had the best balance of usability, stability, and performance, and I would still be using it today if it wasnt for being EoL'd. first OS I got at launch, and installed Day 1.

But I'm on linux now, and on Linux I'm staying.

Thats been my enduring gripe about linux.

95% of the time, it works flawlessly and to an astonishing degree considering, in my case, most of what i'm doing is running windows games at reasonable high detail. Something that I didnt think was feasible like 5ish years ago, which makes it triply amazing.

but its that last 5% thats just a miserable fucking slog. Tiny little things like that, that should be so easy, and seem so obvious, yet to do them is next to impossible or convoluted to hell. Like not being able make middle mouse buttom autoscroll instead of paste, or having to edit some obscure file directly to do the thing you need, or being obscure as fuck and difficult to, say, install a second program into a proton prefix for when you want to use a save editor or something for a game you've played a thousand times.
