    I love to see it.

    Each time I see posts like this, I hope to see adobe announce they are making linux versions of their software. Whether you like it or not, a lot of people do not switch because of adobe.

    Phone is Android, PC is now Linux Mint, for gaming I use a Steam deck, and my NAS is now TrueNAS.

      Android uses the Linux kernel but none of the familiar “Linux” stack: GNU, X or Wayland, GTK or Qt, GNOME or KDE or other DEs, PulseAudio or PipeWire, APT or YUM or other package managers, and many others that define the Linux experience. Google could replace the Linux kernel with something else tomorrow without touching the rest of Android and most users won’t tell, and many apps will run as-is.

        Google tried that once, they developed Fuchsia with the intention of replacing Android and ChromeOS and realized the investment to develop a replacement is not worth it and decided to layoff all the secondary development team to find the budget for the AI people that they pay to not work in competitors.

        Hoping for the AI bubble to burst any time now. I’m fucking tired of the management stuffing AI everywhere. Heck even the CEO now outsources Slack replies from ChatGPT.

        Isn’t that why pedants call it “GNU/Linux” for those? Lol. (I was being facetious btw, I would marry GNU/Linux if I could.)

      Then VR games will work at better than min specs. Trying hard to get off windows, mostly there. Except when streaming VR games, Kubuntu is my daily driver. All my flat games (like 8 of them) work flawlessly now that cloud is syncing. Just need drivers for one device and software for another but may just have to deal with the loss of a left hand kb, and 2 buttons on trackball.

      I did get some useful looking apps recommended not long ago, not 1 will compile on my os and I am way to tired at the end of the work day to read read and read some more(I used to do more complex stuff 20 yrs ago but, well, I forgot most of what I knew. Why is “make” looking to github instead of the directory I am in?

      Proton is is coming along great, I used to support Cedega to play win games before.

          Yeah, make sure you get steam from the steam site not flat pack and if you use Nvidia, use the official Nvidia driver, also make sure you select compatibility in steam. Sometimes you need a different Proton version. Turn settings down and the fps will normalize.

        I would be shocked if Linux VR support isn’t massively improved prior to Valve releasing the Deckard.

          So far, with the 2 games I have had a chance to try, other than having to lower the settings to bottom, they load and play if a little stuttery. With how Proton has improved by leaps and bounds I have no reason to believe it won’t keep improving at near the same pace. It is just that darn translation layer combined with the very high requirements of VR that needs to be overcome. If enough linux users go on the vr games and lament there is no linux native option we may get movement on that end. The flat games run so smooth right now I forget which OS I am using, compared to 2 years ago. I even have the disadvantage of an Nvidia card, at least the official driver is better meeting our requirements, shoulda gone AMD…

            I’m using NVIDIA also, the only real problem I had was that HDR was annoying to get work because gamescope doesn’t play too well with NVIDIA. Now that I can just use native Wayland HDR I don’t have any real problems with my graphics card.

              I don’t expect NVIDIA to improve anytime soon since they still have a chokehold on the data center market. IIRC the reason NVIDIA became quite stable relatively is because Valve assigned several of their engineers to work on NVIDIA drivers full time.

          I don’t think Linux VR is particularly bad if you’re using steamvr things. Unfortunately WMR on the other hand is much worse (they have to write custom drivers for tracking, and especially controllers are not that far along yet)

            Steam/SteamVR is where all my games are located, I like to have 1 launcher. Tho I cannot interact with the monitors from inside steamvr, yet, if i click on the window it closes unlike in windows where I control OBS and other stuff, also only shows 1 of my 2 monitors. BUT, when I get a chance the creator of Desktop+ that I use on windows suggested a linux app that does most of what his app does so that may give me the pc control I need since I do most everything in vr for streaming.

            edit: I think some of my issue may be the poor old Ryzen 7 3800 I am using vs the RTX 4070ti super. The Ryzen 7 is having issues with a few games now, especially the VR mod ones like Satisfactory

    God I wish someone would port AHK to linux. I literally depend on it to make software accessible.
