Corporation greed is real.
Corporations are not people. Workers are people.
I looked at it but looks like people being silly with each other. Not sure.
If you were looking for a Remote Desktop program to help a customer or other user, TeamViewer worked for me on Ubuntu. It was a great way to fix an issue remotely with a Windows user.
But you may not be looking for this type of connection.
This.
FINALLY
Wayland is the future and X11 is heading to the past.
I have always liked Nvidia for years. When I moved to Linux, the Nvidia drivers have been working great on X11. I am currently playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and I have DLSS 2 turned on and get frame rates at 100. Looks great and awesome game. But I know Wayland is the future and want Nvidia to work well with it and Steam. I will get an AMD if I have to but my card is still great and I am not looking for a new one yet.
I was waiting for Nvidia drivers 545 to try again, but I checked last weekend and Ubuntu still had 535 drivers. I hear Nvidia did a lot of fixes for wayland on the new drivers.
I want everyone to move over to Wayland too.
I use my Linux PC for gaming. Last time I tried Steam/Nvidia with Wayland I could only get one game to launch. So hopefully those 2 will work on making Wayland happen for us.
All my games work with Steam/Proton (thanks Value!) and I mainly use my desktop as a gaming PC. I do some bussiness stuff but LibreOffice will work. Or I also use Google Docs to do things–can be saved as Microsoft Office file types or PDF.
But you are right, if you need a Windows only program, then Windows is the only option. I had to update the firmware on my Xbox controller that I use with Steam to play my games. I had to wipe one of my laptops and put a copy of Windows on there to get this done. Another time there was a free Baldurs Gate game from Amazon games I could get, BUT you needed the Amazon Game app to get it. And it only ran on Windows. I put Windows on a laptop, download the free game, then moved it to my Linux Gaming PC. After adding it to Steam as a non Steam game, I was exploring dugeons with elves and dwarves.
It’s still a Windows world, but IF enough gamers switch to Linux that could change. And Microsoft is only going to get worse with ads.
This. I don’t play those games but other Linux gamers do.
I can’t wait to try it with Wayland and Steam.
I mainly play games with my Linux PC.
I installed GDebi from the store and used that. But the snap store use to let you use the store to install the local deb file. To be more user friendly, I hope they make this work again.
I have installed things with the CLI but like a GUI better.
I switched to Linux/Ubuntu when I found out all of my Steam games work on Linux. I was shocked but it was true. I heard there are a few games that don’t work because of EAC but I don’t have any of those. I even added all my non steam games to steam and they work. Even Project 1999 works, Baldur’s Gate 1, and 2 works…and works very well. I am playing the newest games too like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Lords of the Fallen on max settings with my XBox controller.
My PC and I think a lot of people’s PC are used for gaming. Now I also installed Google Chrome when I did have to do some business. I was able to make Office friendly files for my resume and PDFs with Google docs. When I did need to do some graphic work I used gimp. Ubuntu saw my Brother network printer and I printed what I needed.
I am sure there are people who need software that will not work on Linux, but a lot of people could use Linux for their everyday PC use. Most people game or use the web browser.
I am a current Ubuntu user since around 2020. I left windows for good when they release windows 11.
Love the look of the new snap store in Minotaur, but want the ability to install local deb file back.
I have an Nvidia 3080 and use Ubuntu. It auto installed the Nvidia driver and works well with Steam.
I use Ubuntu for my gaming PC. I use it like a PS5 or XBox- I turn the PC on, it auto logs in, auto runs Steam in Big Picture Mode. I use my Xbox controller to select and launch the games I play. I really have not turned on my PS5 in months. And games I was considering buying for the PS5, I will get for my Linux PC. I even add non steam games to my Steam library and play them with Proton/steam.
Currently playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and Lords of the Fallen. Both on maxed settings. Looks and plays great.
Steam has really helped Linux gaming become easy.
Twitter or X needs to die. It is a propaganda tool now.
This is good. I have been an Nvidia user for years-started on Windows and keep it on Linux.
This looks like a big update. I’m downloading it now. I’m looking forward to the new app store, updated kernel, and Gnome look great. I like the minotaur wallpaper too.
Citizens United is a bad ruling that was a big win for Republicans. And workers and people without money lost.
