So the company x social that existed before the muskrat bought twitter then, right?

And to add my experience, that doesn’t even work 100% of the time, if it did I probably would still be using windows
@TrustingZebra
Iirc windows can open archives without an external program now, even tarballs, so that’s something…
Not that I plan on using modern versions of windows if I can help it, but still

I love valve, but I’m not sure I’m comfortable turning them into such a key way to get software on Linux

I’m unfamiliar with 0 A.D., though as an on again off again Minecraft player for over a decade now I 110% agree minetest needs more exposure

Honestly this would be a game changer for me, and I already love my SteamDeck

Ah yes, windows users googling drivers, that *never* caused them to accidentally download a virus, right?

It’s not just hate for edge (though tbth I *do* hate edge) but a hate for not being allowed to control the software that runs on our devices
Also Microsoft got in legal trouble for shoving a browser down everyones throats before, and clearly learned nothing

I’m not entirely sure that that’s how it works, cause if it is my GOG copy of hollow knight has quite a lot more DRM than is normally accepted of that platform by their users

@HughJanus
Legitimately don’t remember the last time I *had* to use a terminal to install a program in linux, I pretty much just click to install everything using KDE’s Discover store, except for things I download off github which often come as appimages which are practically the same as windows executables in terms of ease of use

That very much depends on what you want to play, here’s a convenient link to help determine if the game at least has linux compatible anti cheat (gets updated regularly)

>any civ 1-6 all run perfectly
Can you give more detail on this? Specifically how if you have any experience getting civ 2 to run? The only way ive managed to get it to run any time in the past few years was through a win 3.11 VM (even modern windows)
Actually more importantly I want destiny of the doctors working (a win 95 game) but I’ve had no luck so far
> Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading
That’s one complaint I *do* have sense switching to linux, I wish that there was a linux version of vortex (or MO2 or what have you) so that modding can be made relatively simple for more than just a few games that have easy workarounds

Agreed, the one issue I had with steam (trying to get ALVR to work over a year ago) only happened with the flatpak version
But… Grayjay has a peertube plugin…
Though I’m not sure how well it works
