I have come to understand that the whole “don’t say no” thing is less about directly saying no and leaving it at that and more about taking the time to explain things to your child.

When it comes to new situations for things that I haven’t yet encountered I don’t just say no. I sit down with them and explain to them why.

Yes there are times when I will just say no, like when they know what the answer is going to be and understand why but are just doing it to do it, or if there isn’t time in that specific moment to explain I would preface it with that and then explain it later.

I think people misinterpret the whole don’t say no thing sometimes and literally just give their kids whatever they want which is obviously not good. Boundaries are not optional, and like you mention it is a flawed way of thinking and will absolutely lead to problems down the road.

You can downgrade the installation and get it working again, however it’s a bit cumbersome and time consuming to do so if you don’t have a good internet connection.

The guide is called “How to reinstall WRC V1.8.1” on the steam community.

I have been running it this way for a while.

I’ve mentioned this before but I very much think this is an underhanded deal between MS and EA to try to limit the exposure of their users to Linux by intentionally breaking or not allowing it to work from the start. Especially with the Steam Deck gaining so much momentum and MS trying to release their own handheld device.

I’m not 100% on how deep the commands go in AMP (Application Management Panel) but you could potentially use it to schedule a task that would delete and create a Minecraft instance at certain intervals.

The standard license is 10$ (not a subscription) so it might be worth it to look into.

No, but I think they do it anyway as a preemptive tactic to reduce the share of users on Linux as much as possible.

Every time there is a small wave of users that transition to Linux it means less market share for Microsoft. The more users that get on Linux and have a pleasant experience and things just work means a better reputation and word of mouth spreading between people which translates into a greater potential for even more people to make the switch.

Things like this start slow but once they start to gain traction it can turn into a much bigger problem for Microsoft and they know that. So it would essentially be them trying to “nip it in the bud” before it becomes something that they are too far behind on to get control of.

I very much believe there are some underhanded deals going on with these gaming companies and Microsoft to intentionally not allow them to function on Linux at release or sabatoge (looking at you EA WRC) games after they have been released in an attempt to force people back onto Windows.
