The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

Does he just not know how to use WINE/PROTON every well?

no, these games have detection for such things. proton would work for them otherwise (in fact, for some games it did, before they blocked it). they are specifically made to break on wine, if that makes sense. if they detect you are running linux under the hood, they throw an error and refuse to launch.

You can also use ctrl-z to put process into background.

Ctrl-z suspends/stops the process, you'll need to run bg to resume the process in the background.

Here you go Linux game niggers. Eat it up.

You sure seem to have a lot of issues with people wanting to use Linux for gaming. I thought the point of Linux was being able to do whatever you want to do on your computer, no?

Does he just not know how to use WINE/PROTON every well? If not, normies just have poor taste in vidya. Unfortunately, you need them if you want Linux to be successful in commercial activites. People like him are largely why DXVK, WINE anti-cheat, and SteamOS became a thing. They created demand for it. Sometimes bad people can create good externalities.

He mentions a lot that he runs Windows in a VM for Rainbow: Six Siege and Adobe shit. Neither which have Linux support.

I have just switched from an Nvidia to an AMD gpu and suddenly all my Linux problems have gone away. My PC actually shuts down correctly now. Animations no longer stutter. It starts up significantly faster. As always, fuck Nvidia.
Time to see if I can manage to passthrough my old gpu into a VM and finally relegate bare metal Windows to Fortnite duty.

(I hate how muta always talks in his videos. He talks the same way I type, when I'm trying to make a post on my phone quickly. Because I'm doing something else, and I don't have time to actually think about how I'm saying something. So I can get back to what I'm doing. But he doesn't while talking, in recorded videos)

He also told people to use Balena Etcher.

he's created lots of videos on linux but a ton of them are him going through loads of trouble to put windows inside of linux so that he can play the 5 garbage games that still require that. i don't really understand him, and i don't know why anyone would play games that try to force users onto specific operating systems. sometimes he even has to do some work to make the games not realize they are running inside virtualized windows, because they are so picky they dont even like that. and of course they are all still full of cheaters, retard developers fighting boogeymen.

Didn't he say a few months ago that he went back to Windows and yet in all his videos you can see the KDE (or Cinnamon?) UI.

The big issue for linux is that retarded niggers game studios sit there and look at the check box that enables linux support in their anti-cheat and go "nah we dont need that". Literally 2 seconds of work could enable a vast number of multiplayer games to run instantly with no further work needed.

 

[El Goblina]

So what's the least niggerlicious way to interact with the AUR in Arch? My last time around, I just DIYed everything, but the way you niggers talk here, there's "better ways", I'm just a retard. Speaking as someone who finds Gentoo cozy, and didn't find DIY to be that much of a hurdle, just irritating.

Epic is probably the worst, they own EAC and yet they refuse to enable it for Fortnite.

Use yay?

I don't care what operating system they are using.

An AUR helper is the best way. Paru or yay. I switched to Paru and I like it more than yay.

He made a video teasing about going back to Windows because he thought Windows' GPU passthrough with Hyper-V was better but he's done fuck all since.

He's just a clickbaiting faggot.

i can't believe in an interview he said that he needs "a few more programmers". i hate how he talks about monopolies that other companies hold (which is fair, most games you can't get literally anywhere but steam), but he doesn't care to bring up linux for some competition in this space.

i want to really like epic, especially since i've used their store through heroic games to get drm free copies of some new games. but they see me as an enemy, even if i've spent more on their platform than most of their users.

He also told people to use Balena Etcher.

while i am more familiar with directly using dd or just loading a flash drive up with ventoy, are there issues with etcher? my friends have used it for years.

 

[Slav Power]

are there issues with etcher?

Gathering user data even if they explicitly said they don't want that to happen. Then again, an ISO to USB program based on Electron should be enough of a reason not to use it. You have Rufus and you have Ventoy.

i didn't know people would be putting spyware in their iso flashing tools. i'm not sure who would even be interested in that data? does facebook want to know my favorite linux distro? well, glad i am not using etcher.

I use Gentoo too. I think for the aur, understanding how to use it yourself without a helper is a good idea for anyone to do before they use it. But using paru (that's the best helper imo), is actually more Gentoo like than the manual way.

Emerge is essentially doing the same things paru does, just the Gentoo way instead of the arch way. And if a build has any flags that need adjusting you have to do that manually in the pkgbuild (at least as far as I know.)

there is also the aurutils package. Which is like a half way between a helper like paru, and full manual. It lets you search the aur in your terminal with aur search. Use it to fetch packages. Etc. Worth checking out, if thats your thing.

The notion of "burning an ISO to a USB" is insane and I wish it would die.

 

[Slav Power]

The notion of "burning an ISO to a USB" is insane and I wish it would die.

Or "etching a USB drive". You burned a CD/DVD because you've been directly attacking the surface of the disk with a laser to burn/etch the data on. With a USB stick it's the same as copying your documents. All software like Rufus does is copying the data from the ISO and prepping the USB stick to be bootable.

 

[prollyanotherlurker]

I would think it's just a gui front end for the command.

Sudo dd if=whatever.iso of=/dev/whatever

 

[Miller]

They gather user data and lied about it.
Like Slav Power said, it's better to use Rufus or Ventoy.
Also with Rufus you can customize the Windows 10 or 11 iso (remove some of the telemetry, bypass the online requirement, etc.).

Same. Timmy Tencent seems to hate Valve/Steam for being a successful platform and he thinks that Epic can
