Depends on what you are playing, but gaming in Linux has come a long way. Some games won’t work due to companies not enabling their (rootkit) “anti-cheats” for Linux, but other than that, there’s more and more games that simply work by the day. Check out https://www.protondb.com/ to get an idea of what’s working at the moment.
I’m not too impressed so far. The drillevator mission is ok with 3, really annoying with 5 crystals to find. A better indicator as to where to find them exactly would be nice, sometimes you dig like one meter next to them and simply can’t find them.
Lost 2 escort missions due to people not knowing the new mechanic and not listening to ingame advice. That’s a lot of time going to waste.
The core stone is ok on some classes, others really struggle with the mobs cause they are tough to kill. I also realised that most people don’t know what to do still, so it will get better with time.
Getting a lot of disconnects since this season, yesterday right on the way to extraction - yet another real waste of time that gets really offputting. Yes, I could host every single mission myself, but if everybody does that, there’s not much coop left.
I heard that in Homer Simpson’s voice.
I’m also interested in openSUSE, but what held me back from Tumbleweed was the statement on their Wiki: “If you don’t know how to compile your own additional kernel modules and you don’t wish to learn or keep a very close eye on what is being updated, please don’t use Tumbleweed.” (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed)
But here people say it “just works” and it’s a great distro. I’m torn :), I’d like to try it, but I’m not sure I wanna follow all updates all the time to make sure it runs fine.
I had some issues with an old HP Laptop not so long ago because it uses some weird Wifi that needs Bluetooth enabled and it was a hassle to get it working. In Mint it simply worked out of the box, so I stuck with it on that device. Mint with Cinnamon is also very similar looking to Windows and should provide a smooth transition for your grandparents.
What a stupid headline.
“So who are these people? They’re a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They’re also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole.”
Thank you for elaborating!
Not at all, in Linux Mint for example I simply picked the recommended driver and I had no issues with that.
I’m using Steam without any issues on Linux Mint. If you consider that, people prefer installing the .deb from the website over flatpak or the version of the Software Manager in Mint.
To Cinnamon? What did you experience, please?
Oh I see. I personally haven’t used any particularly lightweight browser, but maybe one of those would do the job: https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-web-browsers-linux/ Glad to hear you like it so far! Hope it all checks out.
Hey, looks good! The sound panel (Menu - Sound & Video or simply type “sound”) should let you choose and test your headset. Let us know how it goes!
An African or European swallow?
There was this summer with really bad weather when we watched Highlander almost every day. It inspired me to visit Scotland. After many many years I managed to do that and I even visited Glenfinnan so I wrote a postcard (yes, that occured many years ago ;)) back home saying: “I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.”
Many games with anti-cheat work, a comprehensive list can be found here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/
Anyway, I wouldn’t install a rootkit “anti-cheat” on a Windows machine under any circumstances, but that’s just me.
I do not experience the behaviour with the cursor, but when a game in fullscreen doesn’t play nice, I move it to the second workspace (with a keybind) and then quickly switch to the first workspace with another keybind. Both are easy to remember and as fast as alt + tab.
You might misunderstand how their “ratings” work - they simply collect all reports and when people had trouble with the game before, and gave a negative or “tinkering required” rating, it will show in the overall stats.
