Linux seems to be used by the most obnoxious people on the planet, which does hurt my willingness to learn anything about it somewhat

I could aid any of you in installing and configuring Linux as a dual boot with Windows, but why fix what isn’t broken? You will likely encounter problems with running at least some games out of the box, and will have to apply some per-game configuration to make them work (which, thankfully, at least only needs to be done once per game).

Also, any games with kernel anticheats won’t work, period, but you should never be running them anyway. Alien code in the kernel is a rootkit, capable of doing all kinds of fishy things and completely hiding them from the operating system and from you.

I have enough tech knowledge to deal with Linux (just haven’t done anything with it in years so super rusty) but being into making (digital) art really doesn’t gel well with it. Could move over to completely separating stuff from my PC now that you don’t have to use ipads to be mobile with that stuff but: money.
And time
And laziness

Linux use is correlated with tech skills, which, unfortunately, are negatively correlated with social skills. That’s not universal, I know some really nice people using Linux, but I admit there are too many obnoxious ones.

If you’re willing to learn, though, I hope I can be a non-obnoxious teacher!

the DMC anime sure has caught my interest. they completely understand dante. (cringe af mega virgin who owns it.), bury the light on vergils entrance.

for a lot of commercial uses - if you just want a machine that runs a program for you - it is just better than windows

if you like tinkering with your pc to get every ounce of system resource out of it it’s great too.

if you want your computer to just work out the box then it is quite bad.

You’re good, they’re just really loud

Unfortunately for me building a PC is the worst part of using one for me so I am happy with slop

Tbh after years of faffing with pcs… well there’s a reason my gaming shifted largely to console. Save blizzard games.

I just can’t be bloomin’ bothered anymore.

… honestly aside from wow and d4 Im not sure what I use my pc for 99% of the time. Background YouTube videos mostly I think.

The only console I ever owned was Dendy, a Famicom clone, waaay back in childhood long before I had a computer.

I absolutely loathe the concept of consoles for a multitude of reasons that these margins are too small to contain.

You have my Attention.

Also, I am laughing at The Duskborn - people blindsided by 'Hey, this looks like Fromsoft what do you mean it IS Fromsoft?!', and then 100% of reactions being Losing Their Damn Minds at legally distinct Bloodborne.

It’s like Sony camped on a beloved IP for 10 years, did nothing with it, and both Fromsoft and Nintendo went “Welp, screw you guys quite frankly” and just kept going.
Switch 2 exclusive. Just boom.

Also the Americans going “Why is the Switch 2 so expensive?!”

That, dear frenemies, is the end result of tarrifs. Orange Trololol.

Timewalking is so easy it makes it suck as an experience but I’ve been playing a couple of alts lately so I’ve done a bunch of it today for the rewards. Just so completely bleh.
