Apparently it's close to the performance of the AMD 3200G and 3400G CPUs

It's not a competition. What the Wine project achieved in 30 years isn't an argument against the achievements of Proton which has only been around for 5 years.

It's impossible to deny the investment of Steam into making gaming on Linux work better.

Edit: I didn't see your ninja edit. I get it: Steam is bad so all the effort they put into enabling gaming on Linux is bad as well...

Yes, that would make sense, but why does the UI show a mouse with a scroll wheel then.

The only conclusion to make is that the video game industry has matured to a point where only masterpieces are released. Bad games just don't exist anymore.

Right??

Gamespot did 55 hours and IGN started NG+ at 60 hours according to their respective video reviews.

"By the end of the 2 year term, you can’t upgrade to a new phone with Pixel Pass."

They're not honoring that part of the deal.

Good luck! I've been using Linux on my main rig since December when I challenged myself to use it exclusively for an entire month. I only boot into Windows to play Valorant every now and then.

Modding classic iPods is such an awesome rabbit Hole. You can exchange the mini hard drive with anything from regular SD cards to quad micro-SD cards to even MSATA and M.2 SSDs. This also creates extra room to install a giant battery if you want to.

I am currently trying to find a way to embed a Bluetooth transmitter so I can use my Bluetooth headphones with it.

There's even an alternative firmware called Rockbox that allows you to just plug in the iPod using USB and put MP3s on it instead of using iTunes.

I also own a Creative Zen Vision but it's sadly not as customizable and there's no Rockbox firmware for it.

Edit: before posting I didn't see the link to the original post which talks about most of the above.

When I see a perfectly reasonable comment with -50 downvotes within minutes of posting … it makes me laugh at everyone who just can’t hit that downvote button fast enough.

I think it's safe to assume that those 50 people who downvoted that comment thought it actually wasn't perfectly reasonable

I work in semiconductor industry where machines need to have sub-micron positioning accuracy and even we don't generally design parts with 10 micron tolerances, unless it really needs to.

Have you played Divinity Original Sin 2? How does it compare?

Steam makes Wine prefixes for every game so they don't interfere with eachother. (I think most if not all launchers do)

To answer OP: each new version of Wine and especially Proton introduces changes to fix one or more games that can potentially break other games. That's why if a specific Proton version has been known to work for a game, your best bet is to use that version for that game. But as always with Wine on Linux though, YMMV, so trying out several versions to see which one works best is a good idea. However I've found that most games work well with the latest GE.

If you're going to the trouble of learning a new OS, IMO you might as well just go straight for Linux. Gaming is a lot better on Linux than on OSX as well.

Jeez, thanks for this blast from the past. I remember a lot of these from my early Linux experiments over a decade ago.

And a spark plug box as a GPU holder. This person is ingenius.

I agree with top comment. The point of Garudo is to be usable out of the box. Only thing left to do is install software, games and optionally tools to manage Proton/Wine versions. To summarize: Steam + ProtonUp-Qt (to download protonGE for Steam), Heroic Launcher for Epic+GOG games and/or Lutris/Bottles for everything else.

Also if people pirate a game they can potentially still buy it through official channels later. If they have bought it through grey or black markets then that opportunity is lost.

I agree with this sentiment. Dual boot on a single drive (or raid0 in this case) can be done but Windows has a tendency to rewrite the boot partition which makes you unable to boot into Linux. I'm sure there are workarounds, but having them seperate is just much easier.

If you install Linux in it's entirety to a seperate SSD, you select to boot by default into that SSD which should give you the option to boot Windows instead. The other way round is more difficult and tends to break by reasons mentioned above.

Which DE? I am using Plasma and notice some weird things like flickering screen when I am playing YouTube videos in Fullscreen with VRR.
