I don’t really know any of the binds and I’m having a good time.

I play both of these games on Steam on Nobara (Fedora) with zero issues.

This is 100% the answer. My filter list is exhaustive and its curated a feed for me that doesn’t actively destroy my mental health.

The community is definitely working hard on getting peripherals working. I’m kind of amazed by how much better things have gotten in the last 5 years.

Yeah, I’d never recommend cold turkey-ing it. That’s a recipe for dissatisfaction I think. A gradual transition is easy and there’s so much less pressure when things go awry.

Not sure why someone downvoted you, so have an upvote. The peripherals thing for gaming is a tough one for sure.

Hot damn, that’s awesome. Glad you’re enjoying it! Nobara is great!

Many people are going to say Linux. It’s probably annoying to hear, but its just the truth at this point. It probably seems daunting to switch over, but let me give you a very brief suggestion from a beginner on how to smooth over the transition.

Load up youtube and watch a few videos reviewing linux distributions for beginners just to see what’s recommended. My personal recommendation is to stick with a distro that uses KDE Plasma as the desktop environment since it will be very familiar coming from Windows. Once you decide what looks best for you…

Check and see if your computer has an available SATA port on the motherboard. If it does, grab yourself a SATA SSD and put your choice of a Linux distribution on it. Once Linux is up and running, set your BIOS to boot into Linux by default. Use Linux for everything you can and slowly migrate your workflow over to the new OS. Keep Windows as it is on its original drive and boot into it whenever you encounter something that doesn’t work or you haven’t set up on Linux yet. Don’t stress about rushing through this part. You have almost a year before Win10 is unsupported. Take your time and enjoy the process.

Over time, your Linux OS will become very useful for you as you uncover more ways to use it instead of Windows and Windows will be reserved for those infrequent edge cases where your needs are not met by Linux. This decouples you from the Microsoft ecosystem, making their enshittification less impactful on your life. I followed this exact path and I’m now a near full-time Linux user with Nobara as my chosen distribution and I could not be happier. I love my PC again.

The only thing I use Windows for now is sim racing games, as I haven’t yet dedicated time to find out how to get the expensive sim racing peripherals I own working on Linux yet. Apparently it’s possible and some people have had great success with it. This is something I will be actively working on over the coming year. Everything else I own runs perfect on Linux. I run a home studio so that means a lot of audio peripherals and specialized software. For 95% of my use case, Nobara just works.

The transition will take some work, but in the end if you can get yourself away from dependence on Windows, the options and freedom available to you expand like crazy. Its worth it just to show Microsoft that no, they no longer have a stranglehold on desktop PC users. The more we engage with non-mainstream options, the more the mainstream has to behave itself.

Canadian values seem to have evaporated in the last ten years. I feel like we’re almost unidentifiable when viewed next to Americans in a crowd now. There’s still a few big differences, but politically we’re in near lock step just a few years behind America. At least, that’s the vibe I get speaking with anyone older than 40. Social media has turned Canada into a Kuato-like attachment to America’s hip, except instead of calling the shots we’re just along for the ride as the host begins its descent into a death rattle.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

This country fucking sucks, Ontario fucking sucks, and the Fords can lick my sack. Let me tell ya folks, if you don’t want to live the rest of your life aching to leave this shithole, don’t ever go live outside of North America. You would experience great public transit and would experience the the wonder of walkable cities. Once you return to Canada you’ll retch and gag every time you’re forced to travel along a stroad or god forbid ever having to walk along one. I’m speaking from experience.

You have to be an actual troglodyte to think this law makes any sense at all. Unfortunately, that’s exactly who Ford is targeting with this shit and there’s way more of them than I ever imagined.

The whole game is like this. Every single description of an object in the game is written like this. Its amazing.

For anyone concerned that it’s expensive… It’s worth it.

Wut?

Bruh how is creating and distributing a non-consensual nude-ified picture of a young girl not a cause for suffering for the victim? Please, explain that to the class.

Did you just not go to school as a kid? If so, that would explain your absolute ineptitude on this topic. Your opinion is some real “your body, my choice” kind of energy.

A CRT for gaming allows for the least amount of input lag. Not only that but playing retro games on a CRT just feels right.
