Also is it a collective wedding or are we doing wedding hops like distro hops?

    Look, we’ve all been banging linux for years and years, we’re all siblings via injection at this point, so I say we skip the ceremony, put on our thigh highs and just have an orgy instead

    As soon as all my games work on it without hours of fucking about, looking up solutions on reddit, discovering that have of them don’t even apply, etc. So, basically never?

      If you play competitive multiplayer games, those will likely still take a while, as anti-cheat detects that something’s fishy when being run in WINE/Proton and therefore blocks you from playing. Basically, those game studios would need to support Linux natively or the various anti-cheat softwares would need to officially support WINE/Proton as a platform…

        I don’t. But I play an eclectic mix of shit from Terraria to Cyberpunk 2077. I will alternate between playing the 2004 remake of a game I’ve been playing since the original came out in 1987 (Sid Meier’s Pirates!), to playing the latest hot new thing. Sometimes I’ll go pick up an old RPG and play through it (I just finished Dragon Age 2), etc. I mostly play indie games with a few AA/AAA games thrown in there, but it’s such a wild mix that I have a hard time imagining getting them all working wouldn’t be a giant pain.

      Give bazzite a try. Next to no fuss, you just install something and it works 90% of the time. The other 10% you have to try out some different proton versions from the steam options, which takes literally seconds.

        I tried it, I didn’t like how it containerized everything, it made it hard to try to fix literally anything.

          Fair enough, that’s actually one of the biggest draws for me. Everything is boxed in nicely and nothing can really wreck the system. And if it still does, there is the rollback function. But if that doesn’t appeal to you, maybe mint? Another out of the box working distro, not specifically tailored to gaming but definitely easy to configure (and to install steam on).

            Yeah I can see the appeal, but I’m just not familiar enough for it to be worth the added effort. I’ve been thinking about just going with main-line ubuntu since most of the solutions I saw in reddit posts and such for the problems I had with PopOS were for ubuntu anyway.
