Yeah it's wild that the freaking government posts this shit. This looks like an edit i would come across when i was still an edgy teenager scrolling on ifunny back in 2013 or something.
Usually wifi cards are the biggest potential issue. If you're buying something brand new that hasn't been out yet for that long, your best bet is to probably use something arch-based as a distro so that you get the latest kernel versions. When i bought my ideapad years ago i tried installing void on it, but the kernel on the iso was too old and my wifi card wasn't recognized. I had to use usb tethering on my phone to update the system. After that everything was working.
I could probably figure it out if i wanted to. I've used Arch, Void, NixOS, and now Guix, but Gentoo never appealed to me. I generally really don't like compiling software. I know you don't have to compile everything anymore these days, but still, seems like that's kinda the point of using the distro, so i don't see why someone like me would want to use it.
You can get them to work by enabling hyper-v inside the windows vm, but this kneecaps your cpu performance unfortunately. Might not always be an issue though depending on how powerful your cpu is and how demanding the actual game is.
Like i said, i agree that it was stupid to put "no tinkering required" in a review, then proceeds to list tinkering steps. I just feel like the difficulty of said tinkering steps is overblown. Especially when you consider ingame graphics settings, pretty much every game requires tinkering regardless of OS, which is one of the reasons i find myself booting up my ps5 instead at times, and if you're that allergic to tinkering or can't do it, then console is your best bet. When we're talking about these basic kinds of troubleshooting steps, i just don't believe that's a linux gaming issue, it's a pc gaming issue.
Oh yeah, i did agree with him that the review was silly by stating two opposites like that, but i did feel like he made it sound like the tinkering he ended up having to do was very involved, eventhough it just takes a few seconds, especially when a review like that has already figured it out for you.
I was watching an lmg clips video about it last night, and personally found it very unreasonable how he said a game that supposedly worked without tinkering, actually needed tinkering because he had to use proton experimental and add a simple launch command. Maybe i'm an out of touch linux user but... what? Is he really saying it's that difficult to select proton experimental from a gui dropdown menu, and then copy paste a simple command? There are probably games out there on native windows that require more tinkering than that. If you literally want no tinkering at all, you're probably better of with a console, which is ironic considering linus is mainly a pc gamer.
Oh that's interesting. I think i saw a thread on reddit earlier this week where they also talked about how many people that have been in the military before became very anti-government afterwards. I can definitely recommend cyberpunk, especially now that it's all patched up. I should probably replay it myself at some point, cause i haven't played the dlc yet, and i also finished the game right before they did the huge skill tree overhaul. Also, not really a big spoiler or anything, but Silverhand also has a military background, so i guess it all lines up lol.
Sounds familiar, although i now use Guix. For me though i felt like it was more cyberpunk's fault for turning me towards anarchy. Johnny Silverhand be spitting some facts lol.
I'm not sure what the cause is exactly. Some say it's user error and they just didn't realize they had done something wrong, but i'm pretty sure there's an entire subreddit dedicated to it lol. My guess is maybe you install a package that pulls in the entire gnome desktop as a dependency, but i don't think that would make it boot into gnome by default just because you have it installed.
I thought this post was referring to the "gnomed" phenomenon where people boot up their pc and all of a sudden it loads up the gnome DE, without having it installed previously lol
Red pill. Tried the green pill but it was just too painfull having to still interact with windows period. Nuked it a few weeks ago. Screw the anti-cheat games lol, i'd rather not play them if that's what it takes to be free.
I never noticed that the gnome terminal uses light mode by default. Bit everytime i had to use gnome the first thing i do is turn on dark mode in the settings, so maybe that's why.
Nope, works really well for me. From all the games i tried pretty much only anti-cheat games and quest 2 vr stuff gave me troubles, but it has been years since i tried vr and i've heard it has improved a lot. Recently the hdmi 2.1 situation with amd bit me in the ass when i bought a tv as a gaming display, but i ended up buying an adapter and accepting that atleast for the time being, vrr isn't gonna work, cause i tried going back to windows instead but at this point it just feels like torture to use now that i'm used to linux. I'd rather lose vrr if it means i get to be free of windows. I also decided to just give up on any game that uses anti-cheat, cause i found myself not really enjoying them anymore anyway.
It's weird how that happens sometimes. Back when endeavourOS was all the hype i tried installing it in a vm multiple times, and for some reason the installer would always fail. But everyone was singing it's praises, so i'm assuming i just had bad luck and tried it at a bad time.
