  • 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.



  • 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.





  • 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.






  • 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.
