Definitely Not GustavoM. :^)
Indeed. A cellphone with google search opened in a browser is all you need.
I will be “that guy” and suggest you to watch a few linux-related videos before choosing. i.e go to youtube and search for “what is the best linux distro for beginners”, “how to install on (distro name goes here)”, “how to configure (audio, video, etc) on (distro name goes here)”, etc. Write em down, install the distro you wanna check, get used to those methods until they are stuck on your forehead. If you lose interest, go back to 1- and choose another distro.
Either by checking $HOME/.bash_profile or the wm’s config file (which is very likely to be at $HOME/.config).
t. I only do minimal installs.
Dietpi. Because I’m forced to.
Eyy! Glad to hear I’m not the only weirdo in this sub!
Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?
Why “we” should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a “free” ““operating system”” (Not absolutely free, but at least way more “free” than Windows) – learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.
a lot of people i know
So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.
Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.
software problems
Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.
quality of distros
All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.
It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.
As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.
A separate /home partition means you can set $ROOTFS as read-only (and /home as rw) and have a “pseudo-everlasting but not really” file system.
(And before someone says “Why not simply disable logs instead? It’s the same thing.” – yes, yes it is. But sometimes you want a “just werks” solution, even if it is a dumb one. Which is (obviously) disabling writes all over $ROOTFS.)
You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!
…no really. Do it.
…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.
I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.
.dotfiles on github
Big/critical files on an external HD
simple as
Just remember that “Linux is not Windows” and to “go in” like It’s your very first time using a PC and you’ll be fine.
Just download proton-ge and set it to run with lutris.
t. That is how I ran the game.
