I think this is the first time I’ve seen this meme format with more than two panels.

Once again people in your comments are like America is the only country in the world. 🙄

I don’t know about VSCodium specifically since I use VSCode, but it does allow you to disable all AI features. Don’t know about telemetry.

Where is DOOM in DNS TXT records? ?

I was confused for a second because I missed which community this was posted in. I kept waiting for some joke at the end like it booted Debian or something. I thought I was in Linux memes. 😆

There’s literally an app named Windows Terminal and you can see it right there in the screenshot.

I don’t need glasses, but got my vision tested because it was covered so why not? I remember the optometrist asking me to read something that was really small text and hard to read. I could make out like maybe 1/2 of it and then she was like I’m just messing with you, you weren’t actually expected to be able to read that. Brief panic lol.

Ah I see. I’ve not used bottles so have no suggestions there, but you may be able to use Proton to run the installer. I’ve done that for other types of Windows apps like the Battlenet launcher or Origin/EA App. You add the installer itself as a non-Steam game, run it, go through the install process. Then you add the installed exe as a non-Steam game.

I think the installed files would be in the same location as the installer itself but they may also get their own app ID in your Steam folder. I can’t recall exactly.

No Proton is a compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux. I’m not at my computer ATM but in the Steam settings somewhere you just flip the toggle on that says something like Enable Steam Play for all games. I think it’s in Compatibility or something like that.

Then any games you own on Steam you can just install and play and Steam will automatically choose the best Proton version for you. You can override it too if you need. ProtonDB is a good resource for looking up how well a game runs on Linux via Proton. Keep in mind it’s limited to games that have Steam releases though.

If you’re talking about playing PS5 games you’ve dumped from a disc with an emulator, which it sounds like maybe you are, Proton and Steam won’t do much for you here. If you’re talking about PC versions of these games that you’ve “acquired” then Steam may help there. You could add the game to your library as a “non-Steam” game and then just run it with Proton that way. HGL may work here too but I’ve only used HGL for games I own on GOG or Epic.

Yeah I agree with all of this. It sounds like maybe you’re trying to learn too many different things at once. I’d pick one thing and stick with it until you’re comfortable.

What games are you trying to play? 99% of the time I’m able to just install a game in Steam and use Proton and be done with it. For any non-Steam games I just use Heroic Games Launcher.

Bazzite is a pretty good distro for gaming since it comes with some of these things pre installed or as an option to install them.

I feel attacked. For real though I actually do own a Secret Lab Titan and it is the most comfortable computer chair I’ve used. I bought one for home when our whole office was working remotely during COVID and liked it so much I bought a second one for the office, before I knew our company would purchase chairs like that. 🙃 I had assumed it was too expensive since until that point we just had shitty Staples chairs.

Ergonomics are pretty subjective though. I know people who use those big balls as a “chair” and people who swore by the kneeling chairs. Tried both and hated them.

Yeah this I don’t understand. I do use immutable distros and quite like them(Bazzite/Aurora/Kinoite) but I would never recommend them to a new user to Linux. They just work too differently than most other distros so like 90% of the documentation you might find for other programs is pretty much useless. Like if you look up some piece of software and it says use your package manager to install, then what? It’s usually easy enough to solve if you read the distro’s docs and use their recommended approach(flatpak, brew, AppImage etc) but that’s already probably way too advanced for someone new too Linux.

Or reinstall the OS on the family computer because one of your dumbass siblings downloaded a sUpeR cOoL song from one of their friends on MSN Messenger.
