Totally agreed
She just has some games she wants to play on it that don’t even have an entry on protondb (COD Black ops 4… I was shocked when I searched and couldn’t find it). So I’ll have to do some research.

We’ll see about that lol
She’s not at all the Linux person I am, so that might be a hard sell even if the software is bad
It’s definitely an option that I’ll keep in mind, though. I’ve tried Bazzite on my desktop and it seems like a really great project.
Ah fuck
The wife wants an Ally X for her birthday when they release them in a few days. Hopefully these issues are cleared up soon
(Believe me I tried steering her away from it but she likes the smaller form factor too much vs other offerings.)
As a furry
The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.
Pyre was arguably a miss
But I see it as more of a red-headed-stepchild of their games.
It still has the trademark excellent writing and gameplay, but it didn’t sell well because it’s just a quirky game.
There was no market for a “wizard-basketball visual novel” (their words, not mine)
The tech test was already feeling really solid. New characters, more detailed art, continuation of the story from Hades 1 with a new big bad…
I’m a fan of Supergiant in general, so I’m really excited to get further into it.
Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.
Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.
So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.
“disable your adblocker”
No, I don’t think I will
Sounds like enough to pay all those workers they laid off
Free hardware is the best hardware!
I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:
One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)
One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.
VMs:
Network:
All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”
The wife and I have really enjoyed playing Ravenswatch.
It’s an early-access rougelite that plays a bit like a Diablo/League (sans toxicity because it’s co-op, not competitive)
Farm efficiently and level your hero within the time limit and fight a boss at the end.
It’s a great time and 20% off on the sale
That would be a welcome surprise.
I only did a quick Google, so fair enough.
FYI
Prophecy Games Inc is a Hirez subsidiary.
Expect all the same shenanigans and monetization hell that comes with that. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it’s not.
The reason Valve is so heavily investing in Linux is that they know that Microsoft could - in theory - flip a switch and kill their business, especially because Microsoft themselves is a competitor to Valve in the form of Xbox and Gamepass.
It’s a defensive tactic, not a money-making venture.
Honestly, I completely agree with the sentiment, although in this particular case OP just asked “upgrade to 11 or Linux?” While indicating that they already have some degree of comfort with Linux after having it on a laptop, so the Linux advocates in this thread have a bit of a leg to stand on in this case.
However: when there are questions like “how do I do X in Y software on Z operating system” it’s completely valid to be frustrated with the evangelists who come out of the woodwork and say “just use this other OS” because it completely misses the point of the question.
And that goes for Windows, Mac, and Linux evangelists.
Lemmy as a platform is built on FOSS. There are going to be Linux/FOSS advocates all over here.
I say this as primarily a windows admin who recently started diving into Linux.
The “real answer” is that Windows 10 is supported until October 2024. You have until then to make your decision or switch to an alternative because after that, W10 won’t be getting more updates and you risk running an unsecure system at that point.
Windows 10 will be supported until October of 2024
Because of that I’m planning to get a bigger NVME drive and dual-boot my system on Windows and Linux. I did a full switch for a couple months after the beginning of the year and it went alright.
“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”
Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.
I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.
