I like to read the comments left by people/“people” on these types of websites, and all those comments were basically saying that this is a little overstepping since “there is plenty of competition” i.e. Xbox and Nintendo.

One of them even said something about “imagine DRM on like your tractor” or something like that, and boy howdy do I wish I didn’t have to create an account to comment back, “Like John Deere…?”

The whole reason I have a computer is to game on it though! :P

This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.

Amen.

Sometimes, I feel like the average Linux user is just on very old or at the very least pretty old hardware.

I know I am probably wrong, but it just seems odd that in X11 my 8 year old ultrawide 144hz 1080p monitor is literally a stuttery and jittery mess when moving windows, when animations play, and even moving the cursor around. I believe I tried playing a game, and it also being a stuttery mess, but I can’t remember as that was around 6-7 months ago.

Using Wayland, on the other hand, as soon as I logged in for the first time it was definitely noticeably NOT like it was in X11. Frame rate was 144hz, everything mentioned above just worked as I would expect. It even feels smoother than Windows which I still have to use every now and then. Gaming on it is a blast 99% of the time, and I game A LOT! (completed ~10 games on openSUSE Tumbleweed just this year!)

So, sometimes I just feel like I said, and as I also said, I’m probably wrong. I have never logged back into X11 except when I upgraded my graphics card a month or so ago because of the stuttery feeling of X11. Some things did work better under X11, I guess, but that is probably because of the stagnant adoption of Wayland?

Besides me using Linux since the beginning of this year until now, I am still a Linux noob, so my opinions are just that. I have no real knowledge of Linux that would qualify me to be any good source of info. I just don’t get the slow adoption is all!

From the admin post:

“If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.”

And people will STILL try to push the door, or wait for it to open.

I’m here, and I’m proud! :-]

Yeah, I had it on PC and while there were plenty of bugs, I still beat it before patch 1.06 or whatever came out. Still had quite a lot of fun!

Now, the console releases on the other hand… yikes man. Yikes…

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me… Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn… Wow.

Haha! Thank you for the explanation! I never looked into MicroOS, because I heard of Tumbleweed and wanted to give it a go since I tried one distro (it has been so long I can’t even remember right now) and didn’t like it too much.

Yeah, when things are working, and it might take a day or so to setup something else completely, I definitely understand your hesitation! :)

Hey there! Isn’t MicroOS for servers? It’s still openSUSE, but specifically for servers. I could be wrong though! :)

Yes! I’ve used quite a few of the most recommended for newbies distros, and none compare (in my experience, at least) to Tumbleweed, and that’s not even a “noob friendly” distro apparently!

Like you, I had issues when installing my new graphics card. Took a few days of rolling back before I found out the correct way to install their new “open-driver” variant. Been smooth sailing since, but I also haven’t zypper dup since then out of fear of it all going away again. :P

Lads and lassies and everything between, it is best to make a full snapshot of your working distro BEFORE doing anything crazy like installing new drivers. TRUST ME!

openSUSE Tumbleweed (and any other distros that take advantage of BTRFS and snapshots) is what made me love Linux.

I’ve always used Windows, but wanted to move to Linux as it is more in line with what I feel about computers, and openSUSE made that a reality for me. Fuck something up by doing what you thought was going to be a normal operational moment? No biggie! For example, sudo snapper rollback 333, and I’m back up and running after reboot. Has literally saved me and the distro a few times now.

Needless to say, I love Windows (for what it is, hate M$ though) but I am a full Linux convert now. When I log into Linux, it feels like home. When I log into Windows, it feels like someone else’s home. :P

Yes! And they also have an Everything (way better search program than Windows has EVER been) plugin that I’ve tweaked to include Everything’s results at the top since the index it does is exponentially better than Windows’ own. Highly recommend for those that want that two button search that has always found what I was looking for on my own computer.

Shoutout to KDE for their search function, KRunner?, as it is amazing and ready to go from the get go.

I’ve always started with the Dark Brotherhood (it’s my favorite quest line in the Elder Scrolls games), so by the time I get to the Fighter’s Guild, it feels pretty lackluster.

Maybe that won’t be an issue for you though, hopefully!

Cheers! :)

Hey, Atticus! Good to see you playing one of the games that really opened my eyes to PC gaming!

I do believe the painting is the Count himself, and like StoveTop said, maybe supposed to be way before he became a vampire, or made to not look like one!

I’m about to finish up the Fighter’s Guild questline, and then for the main game, all I will have left is the story mode. After that, I can finally do my favorite part, The Shivering Isles!

Love to see people enjoy this “classic”! (my knees cracked typing that one, oof.)

Awh, trust me, I totally understand! I can also recommend downloading the game fresh, zipping it up afterwards, and then start tinkering. That way if you mess something up, you can delete the entire folder contents and unzip the files back into the folder for a “fresh” install!

You may know this too, but in case anyone else comes across our conversation! :)

openSUSE Tumbleweed made me a full Linux convert. I have “messed up” quite a few times, since I’m still very much a Linux noob, but openSUSE gave me that real confidence in my setup that I now boot into Windows only for a program or game that won’t work with what I am needing at the moment, which is almost 10% of the time. Modding games is a hobby, and that’s still not as easy as it is in Windows. Come on Nexus Mods, you can do it! :'-)

Hey there! In case you weren’t aware, Nexus Mods has something like Wabbajack, that they call Collections. Literally click and install, and start playing! I’ve tried quite a few this way, and highly recommend it. No longer going through pages and pages of mods to find the “correct” ones that work with the version you are on! :)
