15 years Windows -> dualboot everything -> Ubuntu -> Fedora -> Ubuntu -> opensuse -> arch -> popOS -> arch -> fedora -> arch -> -> popOS -> arch -> nixos
I’m sure there’s a ton more hopping around in the middle that I can’t remember, but this is a good summary.
I did look into it around December but saw the index wasn’t playing nice with Linux. I may look back into it, as thats all thats keeping Windows installed at this point.
I typically land 10-15 more FPS on Linux but my setup is unique (custom nix flakes), plus AMD GPU and CPU.
I also saw the same increase in performance on my wifes computer, and shes on a basic Fedora setup. She has AMD and Nvidia combo.
Sadly performance seems to be tied to environment setup. Which is a good way to lockout a good amount of gamers.
I do not run roblox, though I’m sure getting it working wouldn’t be too difficult.
All of my games run better on Linux, only reason for windows now is VR.
My main games are Star Wars Battlefront 2, Star Citizen, Minecraft and Cyberpunk
Hyprland is my favorite tilling manager for Wayland. Its really easy to customize or find dotfiles. I have some if you want them.
If you want something that just works, popos-shell gnome plugin
Use [email protected] as the email anything as the password and it’ll let you setup a local account.
I use both. I have a self hosted docker compose instance of mailcow, which alerts me when an update is available.
I also use protonmail as well.
Self hosting was a pain in the ass to get working, but I’ve had no issues with it once up. I tossed it behind a reverse proxy to keep it from directly touching the internet.
It’s a mess, but people are playing the new COD and that’s a mess too. Maybe it’s because I’ve only been playing for 8 months, but I find it super enjoyable.
I had those, but it’s rare for me. When I first started I phased into a corsair and decided to do a character reset and have had very little issues since. That and I’ve heard newer hardware helps as well.
For me this is true, I’ve been playing since 3.18 and haven’t had many bugs. Cyberpunk and Halo had more bugs.
I mean what game has been around with active development for 15 years? Most games development stop at 5sh. I paid $45 8 months ago with no reason to spend more.
While 15 years is stupid, at least it’s a fun game. So I’ll continue to enjoy it while not spending anymore money on it.
It seems a lot of people haven’t played it. It’s quite playable and has less bugs than the average new AAA game.
It’s currently got 4 planets, each with 3 or more moons, and many stations that can be visited. 6+ game loops and around 30 flyable ships.
Yeah people spend way too much real money on it, but 90% of the fly read ships are purchasable in the game. At least give the damn game a shot before you shit on it. The community is super nice and willing to help new comers.
Edit: Not sure why everyone is so upset. This is my experience and every argument I’ve seen against sc is about bugs or spending real money on ships. Let people enjoy the games they want without getting so mad cause someone likes a game you don’t.
I wish phones would go back to being unique. I want a slider with a physical keyboard (like the HTC EVO Shift). My Pixel 6 Pros battery is showing wear already but there’s nothing on the market I feel is worth switching to.
Fedoras flavor with KDE. Fedora never caused an issue for me.
Not sure the popularity, but here’s what are essential to me:
AnySoftKeyboard - a custom keyboard that supports layouts like workman/colemak
Simple Gallery - Fantastic gallery app
Mule - Secure version of Firefox
OneTracker - simple bullshit free parcel tracker
Xplore - dual pane file manager, been using it for over 10 years. Can’t go back to regular ones
Yubico Authenticator - Used to get OTPs off my Yubikey.
I have more essential apps, but they’d fall close or in popular.
Yeah, it runs better in my experience. I want to say, it may be different depending on the hardware just like Windows.
I use prism launcher, it auto installs fabric, forge, etc for you.
