I’m on a 3060 on popOS and I’ve literally had one driver issue I had to rollback in the year I’ve been daily driving it.

This is a great response, would heed its points especially the yaml files.

Errrh … yea, maybe give this one a miss

Very excited for this. Have about 2000 hours in Rimworld at this point (I know, I know, rookie numbers, I’m out here doing my best). Can’t wait to see how the expansion plays out.

Take a look at Apico pixel game all about beekeeping (is more akin to Stardew in how much the is to do however). Fantastic game

Not sure if different or just tuned to work better with the distro or something else entirely.

Kinda agree. New graphics card is deffo a nuclear option. I’m running pop os and haven’t come across a game I can’t run as it’s got the Nvidia drivers built it. I’d probably try swap distro before buying a new card just in case it’s that. That’s just time and effort rather than buying something that ‘might’ work.

Probably also worth noting that valve are updating the proton drivers all the time, they want the entire steam catalogue to work on steam deck so I would expect every game to work on proton over time. Might just be a waiting game tbh.

+1 for Frostpunk. Great city builder where the choices you make are often between the lesser of two evils. Very difficult, expect to lose your first few runs!

Most VMs backed up daily, depending on how vital then stored for anything from 3 days - 30 days. Few machines are backed up 3 times a week cause they’re tests servers and we’ll take snapshots as and when they’re getting actively used. Finally a couple of machines are backed up 6 hourly for data relevancy.

Everything replicated to a second backup server off-site and have a hardened repo for immutable backups.

To each their own :)

I enjoyed it. It’s a different vibe to the others but still enjoyable. A lot of human drama and tensions

If you want something that’s in the vein of episodic sci fi and is family friendly, try find Seaquest DSV.

In that same vein again, i would recommend Andromeda as it was created by Gene Roddenberry but the lead was Kevin Sorbo who had gone full maga mode, so maybe pirate that one 😁

Edit: did you also watch all of Stargate Atlantis & Universe?

Hello new Linux user! So yes, your correct when installing apps on Linux sometimes you might need to do it via command line other times you’ll get a nice install file you can double click. It’s really down too the software manufacturers on how they choose to package it.

In general with Linux you’ll find there’s still a lot of command line usage compared to Windows or osx. On those platforms for most users they would barely touch a terminal except in some kind of bug fixing emergency.

Some distros come with their own app store built in (like the windows or osx app store) and allow you to install a bunch of apps via the gui.

What version of Linux did you go for out of interest? Some are much more beginner and use friendly than others.

They found the Nautilus?

Nah you’re thinking of printers, they come from the depths of hell, 9th or 10th ring at guess. Bluetooth is an amateur by comparison.

I was in a similar boat to you, but then I installed pop and just gave it a go. Stuck it on a separate hd for now but with everything setup and working I’m very happy with it.

Started dual booting Pop a few weeks ago, kept Windows for gaming for the same concern, but if you’ve got the major of your games in stream, Proton really is amazing. Had 0 issues with any game so far.

Check out Protondb and see if your current games are supported or not.

Once I’m 100% comfortable with Linux again I’ll probably bin of windows forever.

I already had a Windows install so letting Windows manage the bootloader seemed easier as I know it can cause issues if it thinks it’s not the OS as others have said.

It was fine. Enjoyed it, but it wasn’t earth shattering or high art or anything particularly special

Thanks for sharing. Always interesting to hear someone else’s inner thoughts and realisations.
