Same. Since the Win 11 update on my work laptop I got so fed up with the OS, that I installed Linux on both of my desktop PC and my wifes laptop. Zero regrets, no more MS bullshit on my personal stuff.

I know it will fail but I really hope it will fail big time to accelerate the dowfall of this soulless corporate piece of shit company.

My wifes old laptop died and I got an ancient gaming laptop from a colleague and put Linux Mint on it. It works great.

She uses it for studying and some light gaming (Stardew Valley). It just works. She never used Linux before but had zero issues using it and she even said its just like Windows, just faster.

We knew it 10 years ago, we know it now, how is this news to anyone consuming online digital content?

Wasnt it already a PS+ game years before epic? It literally had millions of players on day one.

I dropped it after my steam copy first time asked me to register an epic account, but till then I didn’t see huge issues with the game apart from the DLC milking.

Recently switched to Linux Mint.

There are really just a couple extra steps to set up Linux for gaming. In my opinion it takes less time to install proton ge, Lurtis or Heroic than downloading and installing GPU drivers on windows:)

For 90% I just download the game via Steam and enable Proton GE (if its not native) and play it straight away.

In some cases if Im not happy with performance I check the Proton DB page to see what settings/proton version/launch commands other people are using and that solves it 9 out of 10.

If you have GoG, Uplay, Epic, etc games just use Heroic or Lutris. Again, first time setup can take 20-30 min using a video tutorial, but after that its all good to go.

Couple weeks ago switched to Mint on my main rig. Since then I also installed Linux on my wifes old laptop. It works great, runs fast and it was 99% a painless transition. With my Steam Deck thats 3 Linux devices in our household.

I wish I coud touch the win 11 on my work laptop as well.

Also fuck Microsoft.

Steams discover queue + Splattercat on youtube for indie games.

In total?

You are right, just checked it and its not there anymore. I downloaded it many months ago :(

In my experience the relatively small selection of the F-droid store is full of these type of games.

Troll patrol

Sudoku

Unciv

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Pirate Solitare

…just to name a few All full versions, no ads or premuim options. Love F-droid, its a shame the selection is quite small.

Thats like an ancient feature I am now used to :)

Yaay, I can spend another 500 hours comfortably having no idea what am I doing with my builds!

Agree 100%. Also if I remember correctly there was a case of over promising and not delivering. So part of the negativity from the community had a very valid reason.

…and we all know the wraith of the internet.

I bought the game in early access and saw how it become from one of the most promising arpgs to a bandwagon of hate and negativity. While it has many problems, I don’t think it deserve all the hate it received.

The game itself is pretty cool imho, however it had a catastrophic launch with lots of server issues for online characters, multiplayer problems and some bugs, causing a negative review tsunami. To make things worst the devs were kind of slow to resolve the issues and released the patches only when they reputation already took a hit.

I can not comment on the multiplayer/hardcore min/max builds and late game stage of the game. As far as I can tell there were some complaints on those fronts as well. I mostly play arpgs alone.

With this in mind, if you like the genre and not planning to play with friends I think its still a pretty entertaining title, nice graphics and decent build variety.

As soon as I find the time will do the same thing. Congrats!

Thanks for the info!

I use wired in-ear headphones while cycling for convenience of not needing to charge so they are always ready to go when I go for a ride. Also I wear my phone in the back pocket of my jersey, so its an extra string holding my device in case it would fall out (never happened, but just in case). I use some half-decent BT headphones for media consumption when home.

Just ordered a pair of wired in-ear headphone from their website for like 15 USD with free worldwide shipping and they sound amazing.

While they have products in the thousands, most their headphones cost under 100 AFAIK

Of course regardless the phone will be 100% overpriced.

Oblivion Override - runs like a dream. Since it’s basically Dead Cells but with robots and more boss fights it was a no brainer for me. The controls are smooth and while the fights can be real chaotic I enjoy it a lot so far
