Some of us still duel-boot

Ahh, thank you. Will try that as well

Yeah, I am finding I like snaps less and less, tho I do like the sandbox aspect (her grandson will be using this system from time to time so I feel some sand boxing would be appropriate). will I need to manually update her ff if its an appimage? The only appimage I am using right now is WLX overlay and other than “everything is there” I don’t recall if it will update itself.

it is Firefox(snap), she only has her account with the official site, not the steam version, I did find that wonderful script for ESO in lutris. I was just suggested gamescope to look at as well

She does close it as even on windows she found it made the system laggy, and it appears hardware acceleration is on in firefox but I think the snap is installed (thought I installed the flatpak same install on my system), every setting is the same as mine.

Oh nice, just read the page. I haven’t installed steam on her system yet as she doesn’t need it, she is running through lutris and this looks like it will work. I will definitely test this on sat when she isn’t home, thanks

I’ll need to dig deeper, but she is guarding her pc like a mother lion guarding a cub. I ran the commands - vainfo, vdpauinfo, and vulkaninfo | grep VK_KHR_video_ only vulkaninfo kicked back what it should have. I tried the same commands on my system with the same results and we are using the proprietary Nvidia driver NVIDIA driver (open kernel) metapackage 580 (proprietary, tested) only on her system it doesn’t say “device using recomended driver” so I need to find the recommended one for her but she is in the middle of minecraft and youtube and doesn’t want to reboot now, hopefully sat I can when she is at work

I was smart(mostly), tested everything on other systems, my laptop has a similar gpu, and left her an escape valve by buying a new m.2 and putting the old one in storage.

We been together 20 yrs, she trusts me. Maybe she turns into a stocking wearing cat-girl… hehe

Yes, shes been playing since launch

We are both running Kubuntu 24.04 with kde desktop. Oh, she can run minecraft and watch yt no problem. ESO is through lutris

Heading home soon, will check it. Thanks

Even worse, they spew it all into the water (in specific areas where they “spawn”). In this case “fuck” was used as a procreation term rather than the literal penetration.

“I don’t drink water, fish fuck in it.” - I forget who said this

I’m hoping to find linux versions one day. If I didn’t love vr so much I wouldn’t need windows at all as all the flat games I have tried work beautifully from both steam and lutris, ie; satisfactory, ESO, and Dawn of Man.

I am dual booting as I get VR to a better level, but I want that cancer off my system completely one day. Right now I have no monitors for vr performance in linux (any suggestions? FPSVR is my monitor for windows in VR) but it “feels” like often I am getting less than 20 fps (eye fatigue and strain that does not occur in the same games on windows) tho it looks like it is at least 35-60fps in the recorded playback, it just feels off.

I am hoping for some feed back on this from people that have used it. I could use bottles but doesn’t that also require a windows “install” or container type thing like this? I am just exploring different avenues to get things working and this looks promising, tho a VM may make a bit of a dent in my old ryzen 7-3800 and I am fairly confidant if I had an amd card instead of the RTX 4070ti super my experience would be better but that is a cost I cannot swallow yet and I need a new cpu more. In the end I will prolly try to get wine and bottles working but a simple to get running app like this could be the short term answer

Switched the gf to linux a week ago. Everything is now smooth sailing, few bumps in the first 2 days like installing the snap minecraft instead of the .deb (I thought snap/flatpak included all files needed, guess not as no java was installed for her JAVA Minecraft) ESO and Minecraft work as well as on windows, and she can even edit simple config files (her G13 kb). Yes her system supports win11 but not even sure we will upgrade her windows install

Thats beautiful. mines been watching me for about 5 months game and everything else. Today she is setting up ESO and the addons and may poke around to personalize her system. Bonus, as I removed her windows drive, she found some files she didn’t know she had but really wanted. Tonight we get the last bits setup. I forgot that the nvme in her system, my old pc from 5 years ago, only had a 120gb capacity I replaced it with a 1TB nvme

unless they need kernel level anticheat, the rest should work. just demonstrate how well your system runs these apps and that should help. just be ready to be their on-call tech hehe

Yeah, once the hardware issue is covered we are golden. She has about 90% of what she needs now, tonight we fix the rest, like programming the buttons on her g13. ESO and Mc installed no problem, Minion was a bit til I got flatpak going, should be fun tonight finishing it all off

Oh, my teaching of the file system is (and the video does it nicely) these are your folders, these are not your folders just like in windows hehe once i finish the last touches she won’t really know she is on linux
