    But you did read, right? Linux allows you to kill itself without batting an eye…

    How did you start Lutris? Did it asked you for your password?

    What are the actual permissions of your wow directory? Who is the owner?

    What is the Data Partition you’ve mentioned and how does it differ from other partitions Bazzit created? (What is this OS install?)

    Also can you just run battle.net from Lutris and thus run wow?

    Uuuh wait… Did you actually install Bazzite onto your system or are you in the live session?

    Uh.

    When you used Lutris to install WoW, which directory did you used as the destination?

    Check the permissions of the wow install directory, did you run perhaps Lutris as root and as such the directory is only writeable from root?

    You can claim ownership of that directory, but would afaik require the terminal.









  • When you like to tinker with the DE, e.g. customising to your liking, then there would be no way around KDE as it is imho the most customizable DE. Gnome is rock solid and its UI is very concise and coherent but also not that customizable (out of the box).

    When it comes to the Amazon and Snap Scandals, you might want to steer clear from everything that is Ubuntu based since it was Canonical who did those two things. Ubuntu based is for example Mint (unless you go Linux Mint Debian Edition which skips the ubuntu middle man) and Kubuntu.

    HDR is afaik still maturing in Wayland: https://arewewaylandyet.com/

    But Multi Screen support is not a big issue anymore.

    nVidia used to be a problem since their opensource and also proprietary drivers were quite lacking. But this was afaik remedied last year.

    Regarding the packages: yes in essence you could just install it afterwards, but there are three/four/five package formats that are only compatible with each other after some repackging has been done, one of those package formats only exists on one branch of Linux (snap), twos are universal (AppImage which is similiar to portable Apps in Windows, Flatpak) and three that are fundamental (DEB for debian based systems, RPM for IBM red hat (fedora), ZST for Arch based systems)

    With your software list, you may run into issues regarding Photoshop CS6 as it is not supported in Linux and you would need alternatives (which includes relearning workflows) e.g. Krita and GIMP (both you can already run in windows to check them out and learn a bit)

    Gaming is simple: check protondb.com to see if a given game runs in linux; steam exists, lutris exists for non-steam games.





  • “The United States of America is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep it that way,”

    *looks at Deepseek* are you sure about that, Vinny?

    He talks about usage of AI in the Healthcare sector. Dude your Healthcare System is the worst, and not even biased AI will change that. Then he points toward the fear of AI replacing workers which will never happen. Does he live in a parallel universe? AI already replaced Artists left and right because its cheaper for the Big Wigs to employ AI fakery instead of paying a good wage for good work done by humans.

    Vance and the entire Trump Administration is delusional, but that’s to be expected when Musk and Elon both work on AI and bow down to Trump (while latter even whispers directly into his ear.)

    addendum:

    “We want to ensure the internet is a safe place, but it is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation,” he said.

    THINK OF THE CHILDRENS!!! and our understand of misinformation.
