I’ve had 3 different graphics cards since 2009.
I have an nVidia RTX 3060, running on a desktop I built back in 2009. I’m running Linux Mint with the KDE Plasma desktop with no problems. All the Steam I bought on Windows, run with no problems under Linux.
Any non-Steam games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto or Deus Ex (1) run on Wine under the default settings with no problems.
4·5 months agoI think adopting Proton was the smartest thing Valve ever did. They are going to capture 90% of gamers switching from Windows to Linux.
And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.
Another vote for Linux Mint. Many Linux distros are available on bootable USBs, so you can try out Linux without messing with your Windows installation at all.
I have 3-4 older games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Deus Ex that I run separately under Wine, using the default settings.
Started with Linux Mint. Added the KDE desktop. And I’m done. This distro does everything I want.
This. If updates are SO important, then Windows can do it while it’s shutting down.
I just got an update this morning. I don’t know if it’s 5.0.0. Can’t wait to check it out. 😀
And by “AI” they’ll just have the kids solve captchas for 2 hours.

Especially in light of Microsoft CoPilot. You do not want obvious spyware on any computer.
Maybe he shouldn’t have called it “autopilot.”
I’d love it if VirtualBox emulated some really basic 3D cards (Voodoo 3, Radeon 9800) so I could do some old school gaming. I have a few old Windows games that won’t run under Wine.
It must be nice to be able to burn 44 billion dollars and not miss it at all.
I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on 1/10,000th of what Musk wasted.
I recently upgraded from Linux Mint 21.3 to 22.2 and my login screen STILL shows the Wayland (Cinnamon) display manager as “experimental.” Wayland runs a lot smoother on 22.2 and it’s a lot less crash-ey, but I don’t think it’s ready for prime time, yet. (Your own mileage may vary.)
