As long as your kids currend and future friends will be on Windows there will be potential issues. There’s also the matter of familiarizing yourself with an environment that monopolyze the professional environment…

It says they do but they kinda mostly don’t. I’m playing from linux on my old steam windows folder on a very much NTFS drive and I never had an issue.

I do, as most things the passion comes and go.

I think growing your taste evolves as well, we are not used to consider that in gaming but simply stuff I found exciting back in the days now would bore me to death.

Dual boot 100% no doubts. Don’t unilaterally impose Linux on your Son, he will likely be cut off from many socialization on current and future popular multiplayer games that may or may not run smoothly on Linux.

Obsidian with calendar plugin here.

How does steam deals with installing on a different HD than system’s one? That’s the only issue I have had with WINE and I had to unpack in Windows.

My granfather’s watch.

I’m pretty sure you can define the filter by bitrate as in dimension/minute of the file, this allow for a filter that’s unrelated to the filename.

Of course if you are into stuff like HDR type you can’t reasonably expect it to be tied to a webrip or anything below Blueray.

You can also do a manual search from within radarr and look at the files yourself.

Mostly because of the dress.

Don’t other people’s banks have web portals?

Sadly, some finance services are app only, app-that-don’t-run-without-Play-Store only.

It souds like this is literally your first step outside of windows.

Don’t listen to any of these people, stick to dual boot, especially if your quality of life (I mean your hobbies) are tied to mastery of a known ecosystem of specific softwares.

Linux can work but you will need to compromise, and you will royally fuck up and unless you are embracing troubleshooting as an hobby you won’t like it.

Dual booting allows you to have a safe harbor for when things go south.

I’ve had a dual boot for around 6 years and only this year I have, not deleted windows but set up my boot to default to linux (it used to be last OS booted).

I had to give up the quality of some audio filters for streaming, I coud not for the life of me figure out how to run a couple of specific games, I’m unable to uncompress big .exe archives (yarrr) in certain specific disks and after a year of smooth daily sailing I had my drivers go nuts and had to dive in and fix it, doing research on old shitty reliable windows.

That’s a tautology right there.

DotA and Counterstrike for sure.

I tried the first but it was unapproachable, the second I think I had to pay for so it was a no-no.

I’d like to say Dwarf Fortress but I’m afraid I would have turned out even weirder than I am.

I suspect you may have gone at it in a bit of a brutal way that I’m not sure is entirely effective, but then again I guess in this community there are better judge for that than myself…

How did you degoogle exactly?

I flashed a degoogle OS (Lineage) and immediatly flashed MicroG, before the first boot.

I was under the assumption this was the proper way to do it, but it’s been years at this point, maybe I misremember or maybe stuff have changed.

I have MicroG and don’t get those. I’m not sure it’s what you are looking for…

I see where you are coming from but degoogled chromium is ridden of the “bad” stuff that Chrome adds, it does nothing to actively fix what is unhardened in both Chrome and Chromium.

It’s also the more relevant criticism, the entanglement of Brave with crypto, but within the chromium ecosystem, it IS the best you can get.

I use arch firefox btw.

Absolutely not. It’s the least shitty Chromium based browser by far. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers/#brave

This but ironically.

You are not wrong… I guess in both instance they came from the desire never to break the immersion through any kind of loading.

The weirder think to me is that it was made by the guys behing “Serious Sam”, that basically mastered the open field shooter genre, which is kinda like the opposite of this game?
