I don’t think the Windows 11 people are ever going to be converted short of some catastrophically poor management at Microsoft.

You’ll still only get a very small subset of people willing to even attempt to switch over to Linux in those events.

It isn’t even about disliking change or ‘using what you’re used to’ at this point, since Windows is drastically changing all the time (for the worse) but most people just get used to it as the “new normal” and we’re the weird ones for trying to actually take control of the situation, and look for better alternatives.

Kate & Micro >:3

It depends entirely on the game and yes some games work with EAC on Steamdeck but not on Linux desktop…for some reason.

Ironsight on Steam (before it shut down) didn’t work on Linux for the longest time, The devs eventually enabled EAC through proton for about a year before making it Steamdeck only during the final months the servers were online.

And even using Steamdeck=1 in the launch commands didn’t fix that game for me. >.>

Should note EndeavourOS is just Arch with an easier installer and slightly pre-configured with common dependencies installed out the box.

EndeavourOS + KDE is what got me daily driving Linux and even after using vanilla Arch for 2 months at one point, I went back to EndeavourOS because it was just less hassle.

I do it the other way around, If you can install Linux yourself I can probably help you without ripping both our hair out.

The other side of that ignorance is if you can do simple tasks they also assume you have the skills to be the next big-tech genius.

The amount of times I’ve been asked to make someone a website or app…

Being “good with computers” is always relative, and to most people computers are basically black magic.

Here’s some stuff I’ve seen other people do.

Had a coworker buy a whole new laptop because their Google account had signed out and they couldn’t remember the password. (obviously buying a new laptop didn’t help)

My mother couldn’t figure out how to hang up a MS Teams call so she just closed the lid on her laptop, which she still assumes turns the whole PC off even after explaining to her multiple times it doesn’t…

My former boss call me into work on a day off to “recover” the main software we used since it had disappeared from the computer. It was still there, an update had just changed the desktop icon.

And most recently a buddy installed multiple viruses on their computer after I told them to ‘backup their files’ before doing a clean Windows install. I had forgot to mention that backing up their files just meant coping them to another drive…they immediately started searching up shady “file backup” programs from random sites on the internet.

Just tried on the same Proton version both with and without the wsock command and still nothing…

Yeah I meant P2P my bad.

Soulseek is I2P not Torrenting, but I’ve found it to be the best place to find music by a long shot.

Edit: It’s actually P2P not I2P

99% of the time yes.

That 1% I’ve ran into is when games that have an native Linux version, run an outdated build of the game. Payday 2 and Borderlands are the only games I’ve had this happen on.

But both these were easily fixable by running the Windows version of the game through Proton instead of the Linux native version.

I dunno about that exact cursor but you can have a look here to see if any catch their eye.

Only just found out about Omarchy the other day and it’s just a Hyperland config with a bunch of Ai shit pre-installed…

Why are people even talking about it?

Thought it was more a prison thing.

I also used Notepadqq for the first year I used Linux, I ended up switching to Kate since it did everything I liked about Notepad++ and it came installed with my KDE desktop soooo.

Also for the few times I gotta use a terminal text editor I use Micro (It really should be the default instead of Nano)
