Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?
With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?
What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)
“I cant be the problem, YOU must be the problem with YOUR attitude”
Great comeback dude. Thanks for proving my entire point. New people arent the problem. People who havent learned everything arent the problem.
People like you are the problem.
I mean it’s not a comeback, it’s just advice. I started using Linux in 2004, when trying to Google an answer basically never worked, and once I was told that the included manuals contained all the instructions for everything, I started having a much better time. It was humbling since I considered myself very proficient with Windows troubleshooting, but I had to recognize that I still needed to read the instructions now that I was in unfamiliar territory.
Anyway, since you’re not interested in that, have a nice day, and I hope your future experiences work out better for you.
Hey. Just wanted to say that you are an exemplar member of this community. Thank you.
No one is obliged to help you. Most problems are fixable by taking the time to understand the whatever package you are having trouble with. If you tried and can’t find a solution, asking online is fine, obviously. I recommend explaining what you have tried already and extensively describing your setup, attaching log and config files, etc. This shows that you actually HAVE tried to solve it yourself and makes it easier for people to help you.
Tbh, with the tone of your comments here, I wouldn’t be inclined to help you either.
One last piece of advice : ChatGPT is actually pretty good at troubleshooting, if you provide the relevant info. Just yesterday I successfully used it to fix pipewire/pulseaudio resetting the device profile on every boot. Also it won’t give you sass and has the patience of a saint, no matter how dumb your question.
