11 IoT Enterpise LTSC is the way to go. Definitely don’t waste your time looking for it on massgravedotdev, because they also definitely don’t have permanent hardware activation instructions, either.

Cant paywalls be bypassed by just using reader mode?

I’ve tried all the ways, and Bottles was the easiest by far. Make a bottle for games from the high seas, using bottles’ preset for games. Once created change the wine from Soda to whatever you want or just use Soda.

Then inside the bottle look for install dependencies and grab things like vc redist, and dot net. Once that’s done under the bottles’ UI choice “Run Executable” and chose the .exe for the game’s installer. If it doesn’t work as expected, click the cog/gear and select the checkbox for “Run in Terminal” to see where it goes wrong and search online for what fix is needed.

The only time I had to troubleshoot with terminal, was for a mspatcha.dll problem. It was an easy fix: the bottle has a Legacy Wine Tools > Configuration > Libraries, where I found mspatcha listed, then changed it to “Native then Built in.”

Hope that helps.

This also handles the device settings and open-razer driver, it’s more than just RBG control. I use it to set polling rate and DPI, my mouse doesn’t have rbg, either.

Would be hilarious if they took her ideas, and made a small AI exhibit section. But the first thing you read or watch is an explanation that AI is a marketing buzz term, and then explains LLM and machine learning.

Danse Macabre, classical music.

OK…

Free to play Call of Duty clone.

My memory isn’t the best on this, as it was close to 10 years ago, I just now had to look up some YouTube’s and images to see which things I recognized.

I was using Arch and I’m pretty sure I managed everything with Virtual Machine Manager.

I know 100% I used vfio, and I wanna say qemu as well.

The one thing I remember most, was I couldn’t use Virt Manager’s GUI to just straight up add the Windows SSD. I had to use the GUI to add something similar, but then had to go and directly edit the XML. It took me forever through trial and error, but I wanna say I finally was like fuck it, and changed the XML entry to just straight up /dev/nvme and it worked.

Never had any bootloader issues. I think I let Windows have its own EFI boot partition it installs automatically, but also gave my arch install its own EFI boot partition as well. When I wanted to boot Windows bare metal, I would just press F8 on boot and select the Windows Boot manager entry, as opposed to booting into systemd-boot and selecting Arch or Windows.

I did the vfio passthrough years ago, rocking two monitors like I always have.

Top monitor was Linux only via Display Port. Bottom was Linux via HDMI, and Windows via DP. Small cheap AMD GPU for all the Linux, and big boy AMD GPU was only for Windows VM.

I would turn on the VM, and then toggle my bottom monitor from HDMI to DP to game, and then the reverse when finished. Could be done all the same without the top monitor.

A neat trick I figured out, was the Windows VM was actually a bare metal Windows install on a separate SSD that could be booted into normally, but also passed through to the VM when using Linux.

Holy fuck my sides hurt laughing. Sending a virtual IT bro hug.

Microsoft is gonna close off access to their NT kernel, eventually. When that happenes all anticheat will have to be in userspace. I’d imagine at that point all of those games become Linux compatible.

I hope you like it! Zen with AVX2 finally ended my years of browser hopping.

It can install addons like any other FF fork, and there’s an entire settings tab with a long list of keybinds.

Bazzite if you want no bullshit easy mode and bulletproof.

Cachyos if you wanna tinker and squeeze out that last 10% in performance.

Supposedly CachyOS works amazing on handhelds. Arch based, too.

Look for the option when installing that is along the lines of “wipe entire drive.”

If you want Debian, check out Vanilla OS. They reached a milestone not too long ago, and it’s a bulletproof distro. It containerizes most programs, it’s immutable, and has atomic updates.

Someone already mentioned, turn off secure boot in your BIOS/uefi settings.

Will be interesting to see if 343 just sucks at making Halo games, or if their engine was holding them back. Or both I suppose.

I hope multiple Halo games confirmed means some singleplayer/coop story stand alone titles. Seperate and quatantined from the online live service multiplayer titles.

So to update this meme to be real and current: Can it run Hunt Showdown 1896, with it’s brand new Cryengine update. Spoiler alert, it’s beautiful.

It also runs fabulously via Steam and Proton.

Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It’s a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.

I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.
