    shitty anticheat protected games where the dev has specifically chose to block linux?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago

    As an architect, let me know once Linux supports autodesk products and adobe products. Until then I gotta stick with windows.

    I need to connect to my work machine with RDP and I tried using Remmina. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the special key stop working( ctrls + s will type s instead of saving) Also there are visual glitches on a second monitor. I had to switch back to windows.

    Can anyone recommend a different RDP client?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

    @Rusty @Kory Usually i using http://www.rdesktop.org/, but it is not actively developed now

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

    I'll try it, thanks.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

    Only thing are my files, that are pretty tricky to transfer securely while maintaining compatibility (i dualboot)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

    For me it's Nvidia tech, VR, and HDR, even if they're technically supported, they're much more of a hassle than on Windows.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

    Funnily enough, I've seen opinions that Windows has awful HDR handling and Plasma is much better, but I don't have a proper HDR display to check. I've also had some success with VR, though I haven't played much on Linux. That said, support from software for those things for Linux is still widely lacking, so it's not much consolation.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

    I have a decent list of software I need it for unfortunately so I'm keeping my best PC on Windows, but I have four PCs in the house. I've been running Linux on one of them for a couple years but the other two will be moved over by Windows 10 EOL.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

    Tax perp software was the only thing I needed it for in the last year. I haven't converted my gaming PC to Linux yet, but I don't anticipate an issue.

    Msm flash tool, I need windows for this

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    Msm flash tool

    If that's all you need. I bet you could just run it from WINE. I updated my PS5 controller using the PlayStation flash tool or whatever it's called. I used Bottles to do all the WINE stuff. Just installed the flash tool and it worked like it was Windows. Pretty shocked if I'm being honest.

    I keep a windows LTSC install around purely for Escape from Tarkov. Everything else I play works great on Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    I side-loaded Mint for a couple hours just to goof around, and then . . . never booted Windows again, quite literally forgot it was installed three days later

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

    Sounds just like my last dual boot setup, as well.

    I believe I said "I'll just boot back to Windows next time I want to play...this game...that just launched and played perfectly under Proton...or...this other game...which also works...huh..."

    Valorante :(

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    I'm going to give you the secret to switching. Go all AMD for your build, and leave everything you know about Windows software and how it works at the door. Learn to use Linux. Expecting it and Linux software to work like Windows is the pitfall.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

    To be fair. In my experience, everything mostly does work like in windows. But I always think it's like attributing Windows switching to Linux as Mac to Windows.

    Mac users are used to not dealing with the registry, lusrmgr, local group policies in the same way Windows users aren't used to dealing with fstab, grub, proton, wine, various desktop environment tweaks.

    Fan control. MSI after burner. Nvidia drivers.

    Windows 10 gaming desktop

    Mint laptop

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

    Fancontrol-gui, corectl, yeah nvidia drivers still suck but are improving.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

    Yea and I just got gifted a 2080ti, so I'm gonna stick with windows on my stationary desktop. However my laptop does use Mint and that's my daily driver.

    Lmao stealing this

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

    Indeed it is brother... indeed it is.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

    I did it as long as gaming kept me there. Now I can play pretty much anything on my Linux machine. Forza fucked up. But whatever. It's a not a game to die for.
