Not a good advice. A friend of mine is still on win7 and it still works and got security updates time to time. But some programs actually stopped working or only older lts versions remain workings. Win10 is probably still ok for a year or two.

Nice to her! Which vsts do you use? Sadly i stopped doing music some years ago, but i have bitwig and some bought vsts. I wondered using them will be an issue. Like if they have an installer for windows.

I recently made the switch and motivated a friend who is still on win7 to go to linux. While installing and setting up his system i realised that you still need some konsole handling skills, that normal windows user not really have. To me thats normal, growing up with dos and win311, but if you started with win 2000 or later. Thats all new stuff.

I think laptops/computers that are all ready setup completely usable, should be a thing, thought.

The windows 11 ads worked. I installed Linux a month ago and would say the transition is done and iam really happy.

As a student i get annoyed thr other way arround. Just yesterday i had to tell my group of an assignment that we need to understand the system physically and code it ourselves in matlab and not copy paste code with Chatgpt, because its way to complex. I’ve seen people wasting hours like that. Its insane.

Can confirm!

Its called Installing linux.

TIL: People who are using wine as an ingredient in a meal, really think they have to use the expensive ones as well. For years we are using just the cheapest bottled wine available. If you think about it, you could also just use balsamic vinegar or something similar for a white wine to add the acidyness/taste. The alcohol does evaporate anyway. But these things are mostly subjective anyway.

With nsfw it would be at least a slight warning if you just woke up into war death videos.

I still wonder what the difference made. I would image, it should be the same.

Did you try lutris out of flatpak? I don’t know why but this version has less issues. I compared lutris vs bottles and for me the performance of bottles was way worse. (Sadly). Because the bottles ui is much better

Do you know what the issue was? Iam on kubuntu with the flatpak version (important) of lutris and battle.net + sc2 just runs out of the box. With a normal installation of lutris it didn’t.

The most important setting for me, was to set the enemies as passive. So you can kill them off when you need place and they will never attack you on their own.

Factorio. The new dlc hooked me into a 5h gaming session at one eve. I cant remember when i did that the last time in my life. Probably with 15? But be warned, the game isn’t called cracktorio without reason.

For me the same, but with kubuntu. Linux is really ready to be used as a desktop.

Too bad i already installed linux, two weeks ago.

Just go for it! Did it recently and the overall experience is actually getting impressed multiple times.

Sounds nice, how useable is it?

This is really random. I want answers :D

Thanks for the insight! Random chromebus with smoketrails sounds fun, thought.
