    JUST TODAY I was going to buy WinRar. I've used the software forever, for free, and I just thought... I appreciate this, they've never given me grief, and I'm going to pay them.

  • I've downloaded the occasional weird archive that refused to unpack with 7z, but worked just fine with winrar. Very rare cases though, but that's why i kept it installed about 2 years ago. since switching to linux i haven't encountered a file like that, so i haven't needed it since then.

  • How are nvidia gpus with wayland nowadays? I read a while ago it was terrible, has it improved?

  • most games have never had flicker issues for me on arch/sway with a rtx2070. Steam itself used to be unusable and last i checked was still a bit glitchy, Discord also sucked, but the games always worked fine.

    apart from some issues with recognizing the mouse cursor in a few games.

  • I need a distro that can work right out the box without too much hassle to configure it, which one would you recommend?

  • agreed with debian, it's by far the most stable and no bullshit system i've ever used. however, BIG condition: do NOT install .deb files manually. that's an extremely easy way to break your system. use what's in the repos, and if it's not in the repos, use something like flatpak (not sure how well it works for debian since i haven't used it).

    in general though, if you want a stable linux system, just don't try to install stuff that isn't packaged in official repos.

  • that said, i did end up finding open source alternatives for all the software i use often, and don't use bottles much.

  • honestly, wine has seemed unreasonably complex to me in the past and i haven't tried since. but Bottles offers a nice easy to use GUI, i do recommend giving it a shot. at least on arch linux it's super easy to install via the AUR.

    the only issue is some apps need additional dependencies which can take some searching to figure out what exactly is needed. the arch wiki lists a bunch of them though, and often the error messages bottles shows will point you the right way.

    i've gotten almost every .exe to work with it, most immediately, some after a short bit of tinkering.
