I’ve never gotten a Linux system running with the expectation that it will work 100%.

I only expect an OS to do what it was designed to do. I was so happy when steam went full crazy on proton, all of my flat library works like a dream, only 30 or so games, my VR library is over 100.

100% I do know of (and was well aware before my move) the limitations, I used linux in early 00. The way flat games are today I see VR being similar in 5 - 10 yrs (we are a small community overall and even smaller on linux). We WILL get there because the “real gurus” will take us there, I has faith and patience. Until then, M$ can harvest my streams and VR gameplay (I have stripped all apps, files, and flat games from my windows install and I only play for 2hrs at a time 5-7 times a week)

I love how many like the ACA but absolutely HATE Obamacare. That moment of realization on their faces never gets old. “Why would they call the ACA Obamacare?”

Yes, we can play “some” VR games on linux (vive(my headset), index, quest, and pico all have compatibility) but it is not yet at the point flat games are. I’m still trying to get more than the meta ported games to play with proper feeling(even they are a little lacking), the other games almost all have issues with frame rate, making it extremely tiring and headache inducing, then there are the mods that do not have linux native mod installers/launchers (satisfactory modders made theirs work well, install game through steam, run smm, install mods, boom done) where you need to install steam a second time with the game inside it as well. It is coming along and I am here for it, but until VR is up to speed I cannot let go of that crap os, all I can do is play all the games that work well in linux and the rest on a content stripped windows (I’ve removed all apps and files not required for VR/streaming)

STRONG SUGGESTION FOR VR USERS ON STEAM: Get WLX overlay to be able to interact with your desktop since steam likes to close the desktop overlay when the desktop is interacted with

This is welcome news. Most of my library is VR and I keep getting “similar” flat games recommended all the time. I need to actively hunt for what I really want to play and then I am presented a list, a long list, a long long list, that I get tired trying to read through.

Even worse, they spew it all into the water (in specific areas where they “spawn”). In this case “fuck” was used as a procreation term rather than the literal penetration.

“I don’t drink water, fish fuck in it.” - I forget who said this

I’m hoping to find linux versions one day. If I didn’t love vr so much I wouldn’t need windows at all as all the flat games I have tried work beautifully from both steam and lutris, ie; satisfactory, ESO, and Dawn of Man.

I am dual booting as I get VR to a better level, but I want that cancer off my system completely one day. Right now I have no monitors for vr performance in linux (any suggestions? FPSVR is my monitor for windows in VR) but it “feels” like often I am getting less than 20 fps (eye fatigue and strain that does not occur in the same games on windows) tho it looks like it is at least 35-60fps in the recorded playback, it just feels off.

I am hoping for some feed back on this from people that have used it. I could use bottles but doesn’t that also require a windows “install” or container type thing like this? I am just exploring different avenues to get things working and this looks promising, tho a VM may make a bit of a dent in my old ryzen 7-3800 and I am fairly confidant if I had an amd card instead of the RTX 4070ti super my experience would be better but that is a cost I cannot swallow yet and I need a new cpu more. In the end I will prolly try to get wine and bottles working but a simple to get running app like this could be the short term answer

Now. Do the rest of the old codgers, set em out to pasture

I have wonderful tunnel vision. I opened a new tab and actually looked at the page and they do in fact exist, I have 3 sponsored links, I just never actually look at the page until i hit enter cause there is nothing of interest til then hehe

how many people see that page tho? when i open a new tab i don’t even see the page, I open new pages quite often, all i see is the address bar until i type and hit enter. never even saw the “sponsored content”

Oh, this is a cute game, played the demo. may actually get it

points to somewhere in south america

There are vestiges of it, I still play sims 3 (on linux) and every so often the Origin login pops up

May go sailing for it after this tho

Man, I like the ancient washer/dryer in my building. Wash = 45mins (every time) dryer is 1h (every time) good old reliable tech

Wasn’t the escalator directly next to the stopped one running properly? As someone with bad knees I would have sighed and moved to the next one

Isn’t he Doe174?

I feel, at 50, if a site wants my face, the site does not want my traffic

Do you remember a video some tech guy/s did maybe 15 - 20 yrs ago? He raided somewhere between 10 and 20 ssds (they were new at the time) and booted up windows while holding the ssd cables and jumping on a mini trampoline? The drives were clacking together like one of them clapper hand toys/noise makers. Yeah drives should be fine, I’d break the pc down to parts in boxes if I was moving my pc anywhere far or not with me holding the box, video cards and heat syncs are super heavy these days, this isn’t (I hope) a trident card

That is why the BOOK is read TO them, they are NOT supposed to think about it or the multiple contradictions, just the stories they are told how they are told.
