For me on ZorinOS, installing steam as flatpak gave me very bad performance on all games. Had to reinstall the APT version and now it runs smooth.

Also some games enable AMD settings because of Proton/Wine. If you are running Nvidia then untoggle these settings. I had this for Marvel Rivals. After disabling it performance was good.

It looks good, things work out of the box and it's stable. CLI use is minimal, perfect for newbs. Besides that it can keep grandma's laptop running. So yeah pretty decent OS.

Ah gotcha thanks for clarifying

U should lurk more lemmy comments. Mfers here really are anti children

Yesterday I got shit for supporting ZorinOS Pro. So I guess paying for FOSS.

It seems donations are okay, but when distros frame it as a Pro Version purchase then the FOSS peeps get pissed. Even though no one could point out what's actually being locked behind the pro version, because spoiler: nothing is locked behind it.

Oooeh this is one is gonna piss off a lot of lemmings. This is one of those hard echo chamber topics that haunt Lemmy.

Also don't mention religion, that will also twist a lot of panties on here

Can you explain what IP is? Abbreviations don't mean anything if you don't know it.

Nah people just frame it as if you need to buy it, while that's not true. No I'm not defending scummy practices, I'm just pro supporting software that you enjoy. That people like you can't handle others opinions and immediately resort to calling it "fanboy or useful idiot." The world doesn't need to be a copy pasta of opinions

What does zorin lock behind the pro version? Some themes that you could make yourself if you wanted. And they package some apps that you could manualy download. What updates are you refering to?

Once again like Zorin, it isn't required to use the base version. Projects take time and effort, support is optional. Debian also has a donation page gonna distrohop now too?

They don't force you to buy anything. Almost all distros have a donation button on their site/git.

Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad

Been through the same situation. Find a distro that you like, any decently user friendly distro will handle setting up the dual boot for you.

No need to reinstall games etc, just make sure you partition has enough storage for linux and pick that part during the install.

After that start slowly transitioning your games to linux. In steam toggle the compatibility setting, this will try to run proton over your games. Then only boot into windows when its necessary for VR/online games.

VM's for gaming is not the best use case, lots of gpu needed....

Those scores are still too high for Starfield

Good points. Lemmy has a bit of an anti religion echo chamber.

Pointing out the extremes of one and cherrypicking the other. Both sides have done a lot of good and bad.

I like your view of religion as a spiritual guide for morality. Most people are too narrow minded when it comes to religion. They purley hate and focus on the byproducts of the zeitgeist, cultural norms from times past. Instead they should read between the lines and try to understand the actual message it's trying to convey.

It's actually possible! Thats amazing lol

Bro watches videos through ASCII conversion in the cli😭

Briar... not familiar with, thx for sharing privacy goodies. Will check it out.

As for audits on SimpleX, there have been some. Not sure when the last one was tho, they prob have something on their site with a date.

Fair point, it always feels dirty to send invite-link through WhatsApp, the dominant messenger in EU.

How would one go to solve the invite problem? How does Signal handle this?
