We’re training him wrong on purpose
There’s a demo as well, if you just wanted to take a look.
I’ve been running the Windows version in WINE but the flatpak may be the way to go for ease of use
WintergamingTV on YT is also really good content.
looking for anything to remember the hierarchy and memorizing the metric and Celsius measurement system, sometimes explained in schooling or local sayings. (if I had an example for those systems I would give one lol).
This is how I was taught it in school:
Linux users on their last Denuvo license:
The first time or two that I launched it, it crashed. And it also took a long time sitting at a blank screen (compiling shaders or something, I’m guessing) and then it showed the menu.
To start troubleshooting, open a terminal window and run steam-d. It may include some errors around the time of the crash that you can search for on github, it’s possible that other users have experienced and reported the issue. You can also set PROTON_LOG=1 to enable proton logging, it’ll saved in ~/steam-*.log (where * is the AppID).
I knew, as soon as they installed that damned GUI, that we’d have Windowers coming around with their “Windows key this and WSL that”. I’m going to have to move to BSD at this rate, I hear they have a more permissive license. I was telling my friend Margaret just the other day that I was meaning to move to BSD. That and that I wanted to get a shrubbery, for the garden.
The terminal is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

I’m using KDE Plasma 6.3, not using gamescope.
Using:
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command% --skip-launcher --vulkan
The idea of being forced to use government approved messaging services seems a bit Orwellian.
Mine works, on 10-1 when I force vulkan with the --vulkan flag
Exactly, and you cannot hope to see any meaningful regulation out of the current government.
The company will just buy The Secret Service/Trump’s Presidential Library a fleet of Rolls Royce and he’ll intimidate congress into silence.
I use an OLED HDR TV (LG C1) in Arch.
It is very worth it, even more so with Proton10 adding HDR support for gaming (without needing to use gamescope).
Obviously, if you’re going to buy a good HDR-capable display then you’re going to want HDR to work. A monitor doesn’t need HDR to look good, but HDR feels like a graphical upgrade that doesn’t cost you any frame rate.
If you’re comfortable enough with Mint, most of that knowledge will transfer over to other flavors of Linux.
I’d recommend something that allows you to use the most current software. Arch, for example. I know it has a reputation as being difficult to install but it is very much worth doing as it gives you a lot of hands-on work with the inner workings of Linux. It will take some time (I think it took me the whole day the first time) but the installation guide will walk you through it.
That being said For most people, I think an Arch install is an excellent project for a VM, or second piece of hardware. For your main PC, you just want it to be up and running as quick as possible so you can keep using it.
EndeavourOS is an Arch-based distro that uses a graphical installer and chooses a decent set of default packages for a desktop PC. That makes the installation of Arch much faster and you’re not left to research every little subsystem in order to figure out what packages you need.
It just seems silly to be like “I’m not going to pay for streaming, so I’m going to pirate” and then paying someone to do the piracy for you.
Just don’t expect it will make you faster or more efficient.
It will, but it requires you spend a lot of time dealing with being slow and wanting to give up and reach for the mouse.
I swapped keyboard layouts (to a 52 key split layout) and it took me around 2-3 weeks of typing slow, hitting the wrong keys, and keeping several printed sheets (for all of the keyboard layers) on my desk in order to learn the layout. It was frustrating and it would have been a lot easier to just grab a standard keyboard but, in the end, it was worth it.
Learning vimkeys/application hotkeys does take a while and it is much easier to avoid it for any given task. Just grab the mouse and avoid the frustration of having to try to remember the hotkey (or, even worse, look it up). But if you can avoid that and force yourself through the uncomfortable frustration. You’ll find that the time investment is worth it.
The best way I’ve heard it described is that learning all of the motions, shortcuts, commands, etc is the best way to remove all of the possible friction between you having a thought and you putting that thought into text.
It’s like using Word and learning that CTRL+B toggles Bold. You don’t NEED to know that, you can click the bold icon. The extra 2 seconds that it took to grab the mouse and click the icon and then move your hand back to the keyboard seems trivial, but if you’re doing a lot of writing that can add up to a lot.
In addition, having to stop your train of thought in order to fiddle with a GUI can cause lapses in concentration. Constantly having to stop typing in order to fiddle with a GUI is annoying and requires you to switch context from what you were typing to looking for the icon or menu that you need to click.
Multiply that by everything else you need to do in editing text (moving the cursor to different places, selecting text, finding text, opening and saving documents, etc. That’s a lot of time that you’re spending messing around with a mouse and GUI annoyances.
Also, if you’re using Linux, a lot of tools use vim keys as their interface. So learning the basics (mostly hjkl for moving, / for searching, etc) can help you in a lot of programs.
For example, I’m using vimium in Firefox, so I can operate the entire browser without using the mouse. Press f and all of the links and form fields on the page are tagged with a 2 letter combination, pressing those two letters is like clicking the link/field. I can access shortcuts, open bookmarks, etc all without needing my mouse. In addition, the browser has hotkeys for tab manipulation (ctrl t for new tab, ctrl f4 to close tab, ctrl shift t to re-open/undo last closed tab, etcetc).
I try to have all of my programs be keyboard driven (and use a lot of terminal applications where possible). Vim keys and motions, in all of the various programs that use them, along with the shortcuts from the window manager (everyone knows alt + tab, but there are many more) and even individual applications make that possible (except for Freetube, which requires the mouse :/).
Overall, I would say that it’s not a requirement, but if you’re willing to spend a week or two learning (and moving very slow as you force yourself to learn and use the keys) then I think you’ll have a better time in Linux.
Also, it feels pretty ‘90s hacker movie hacker’ to just flail on the keyboard and have things happen on your PC.
