Yes, those were never updated. This was the workaround : uninstall everything using DDU, then install the outdated drivers. That worked at first, then did not work anymore after a while.

Frankly, this is EXACTLY the problem that I had, that made me switch to linux.

I had a MSI laptop with a 3060. At first, it was wonky on Windows but overall it worked with a few workarounds. So far so good.

After some times, an update to Windows (I believe) made it that I had to run DDU to uninstall the drivers then reinstall everything. It took me more than one afternoon. Then I still had to do the workarounds.

After a while, I had to uninstall the video drivers at every boot, then reinstall a specific version of one driver, then had to run Windows Update, uncheck one specific little tickbox for the video card to function. At. Every. Boot.

And then, not even that worked.

On Nobara, I just had to install the distro and boom ! It worked out of the box. With the only downside that the HDMI was capped at 1080p 30Hz (when Windows wouldn’t even display over HDMI). I think the 30Hz part was a Wayland limitation at the time.

So no, it wasn’t because I was bad at Windows. Bloody thing just did not work and made me go full linux.

Wow. The first part was underwhelming. If they knew there would have been a part two, why not combine both parts to make a decent series rather than… this

Arch Linux, hyprland/quickshell

Kitty/konsole

VSCodium (+ a very few plugins) / Kate

I never really liked youtube. But you’ve got to admit that sometimes, when you have a very niche tech problem, there is always one indian making just the right video for you.

We hope that it’s LOST JJ Abrams

To run games, you might need at least 32Gb. 64 Gb is sufficient in most cases. Still expensive af

Zorin is the best distro when you come from Windows. It works almost similarly so it’s easy to grasp for those who don’t want to tinker / learn a new DE.

I truly believe Nobara to be better suited for gaming than Bazzite. I don’t really get the hype. But then again, to each his own distro.

That was Squaresoft, not Square Enix.

Seeing the success of Prince of Persia, it wasn’t much of a risk…

It’s been a while, but Rayman Origins and Legends were pretty solid titles.

Get your fists ready because MP2 is by far the best.

What a great read, thanks

Almost the plot of Howl’s Moving Castle

Browsing history, Downloads folder, cache, etc. That’s good to have encrypted.

Linux is free…

FIFA 99, Need for Speed : Underground, The Sims 2, C&C : Red Alert 2, SSX3, Black and White, LOTR 2 & 3, Burnout 3, Battlefield Vietnam, …

There was a time when they were good, but they fell out of grace in the second half of the 2000s

I can’t agree with you on this one. Sometimes, I think this is the kind of detail that benefits other games : the assets are there and can be reused, in other forms.

Plus, sometimes it’s better to make one great game than a plethora of good games.

RDR2 wasn’t my cup of tea but I have nothing bad to say about this game. It was a masterpiece, in all aspects and in all comes down, at the end, to the attention given to trivial things such as horse testicles.

I believe The Last of Us II actually portrayed this one thing oerfectly. At the beginning you can feel some of Ellie’s hesitation as she comes upon death, but the more the story unfolds and the more she becomes psychopathic. It’s hinted and it’s shown. The last Act of the game is her giving in to her PTSD. I think that, for once, this is absolutely brilliant.
