    80% on Tier 3 or lower for Proton Click Play. That’s not a small number. That means a majority of games, have bugs, crashing issues, things that cause them to be unplayable or glitchy…

    So I repeat…

    A lot of good those benchmarks do when only 20% of the games are playable to the same degree…

    Great, you have success with it. But your anecdotal evidence does not make a solid claim to base things upon.

    From a benchmark perspective this has shown to be false in some or many areas.

    A great lot of good those benchmarks are going to to when your game doesn’t run AT ALL. This is such a non-argument it’s not even funny at this point.

    It’s great to be an open source advocate, but this argument crosses the line into zealotry. It has very little basis in the reality of things.

    Do I want Microsoft to die a quick and painful death? Absolutely. Is Linux the superior choice in all situations – absolutely not.





  • I use Parsec. I used Chrome Remote Desktop in the past, which was good; I’ve used Splashtop which was amazing too.

    Parsec is good enough that I can remote play games on my computer from work without much of a delay. It’s designed for gaming, so I rarely if ever have any issues with video corruption or not displaying a piece of software.

    You can just make a remote-in account, set up 2FA (it’s TOTP based, not SMS crap) and log in both places – his machine will just show up for you to connect to whenever he wants help.

    As far as I’m aware, it supports Windows and Mac hosting.

    If you already have a pi over there, a PiKVM would be a good choice too - in case you needed to reboot/access bios settings, etc too.


  • Just sounds like Florida to me.

    100% humidity all the time. Temperatures in the 100’s (F) (>38C). Feels like the air is thick and heavy constantly. It’ll rain just long enough every so often to keep these attributes true almost all the time. Doesn’t matter how fit you are, just walking to your car is enough to make you feel like you just crawled out of the swamp. Worst of all, Florida doesn’t get Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; We get Summer, Simmer, Summer, Fall.

    Use whatever works for you. Linux can be a pain in the ass sometimes. If your moral fiber isn’t strong enough to override your need for sanity, sometimes you just need to use what has the path of least resistance.

    If you’re using it mostly for gaming, Windows is going to be the superior choice. Microsoft has just simply ensured that lock-in. Things are certainly changing, thanks to Valve; but don’t feel afraid to try Linux out without dumping your whole life into it. Get a SBC (Single board computer) and run some Linux services on it - IRC bouncers, mail servers, buy a domain name and practice reverse proxies, virtual machines, etc.

    There is room for both…until you’ve decided that Microsoft has stepped over that line you’ve drawn in the sand; then you can convince yourself to dive headlong into Linux full-time.

    Regardless, Linux has already won. It runs the internet. It runs near every network device you own. You probably even have Linux running on something you had no idea was running it; Cameras, lower levels of consumer devices, etc. If the only bastion that Windows still has is Gaming…I think we’re doing pretty good.
