It will create a default profile in your home (games/heroic/Prefixes) where everything will be installed, and if you have steam installed, it will detect the proton version of steam, and use it.
If some dependencies of the game are not installed, you'll be able to run winetricks
and install it in the profile of the game or to use steam runtime.
Using Windows-only games on Linux is getting better at an impressive rate those last years. There is more and more games working out of the box with steam or heroic. But yeah, sometimes, you just have to give up (or use Windows ).
Linux has been the biggest rabbit hole I've been in. There are too many distribution for me to choose one without testing as much as I can. It made me change what I wanted/needed.
I went from "I don't want to use CLI at all" to "man, GUI is too slow for that".
I tried many Debian children and grand children distributions, Fedora based ones (Nobara, atomics bases,...), Opensuse, NixOS, Solus, arch based distributions...
Now, I'm on cachyOS, that seems to be the good balance I need (for now), between GUI/already configured and "I can do it the way I want".
One year after starting using Linux, I've switched from a 3060ti to a 6700xt, just because it made hopping easier.
If you exclude me not being able to settle down on a distro, Linux is a funny experience to me. My needs are not that big, as I just play some games, have a light need of an office suite. I can do anything I used to to in windows, but without Microsoft and his friends looking above my shoulder.
Pour l'instant, j'utilise DDG. Je teste Kagi régulièrement.
J'utilisais startpage, mais avec son rachat en 2019 par System1, je l'évite autant que Google.
Les activités principales de System1 sont la collecte de données et la publicité ciblée.
Du coup, je cherche régulièrement un moteur alternatif, sans résultat...
KDE : it's the only DE where I can have 2 identical panels (app pined+ full system tray) on each of my 2 screens without installing extensions.
KDE can do what I want without having to look for extensions. Breeze theme is good enough for me, I don't need to look for something else. So far it's the best out of the box experience I had.
I prefer Gnome look, but I distr'hop too often to have the courage to setup the desktop every time.
They advert for a support between 8 and 10 years (at least 5 major version of Android, and security patches after that).
I don't know their politic about the availability of the repair parts, but if it's for the same amount of time, I'll be happy.
I changed the battery and the usb port of my OP7 last year... the oneplus site didn't sell them anymore, I had to go on aliexpress to have both ... That's quite frustrating for a device that is 5 years old...
It has a confidentiality notation system based on exodus privacy. It makes it more visible than on the aurora store. It has the possibility to install app from fdroid, well, at least from the main repo as it is not possible to add more.
There is a high chance that they forked the aurora store, as, most (if not all) of their app are based on open source app. (but if so... why did they remove the option to uninstall app...).
Their app "maps" is just magic earth with an other name and icon.
I like /e/OS, but the app lounge bothers me a lot. There is no uninstall button and it is not possible to add Fdroid repos... So I have Fdroid installed in addition to it.
I do not see an added value as if I had the aurora store installed + Fdroid.
IMO, the best addition of e/OS compared to lineage is clearly the tracker /ad blocker app.
Which version and phone are you on ?
I'm on "t" version on a Oneplus 7 et I have none of these issues.
I first installed the "s" version and got annoying bugs, then switched to the "t" one and everything was OK.
I now all the version aren't available on every devices, I hope you can switch on a more stable one.
