Thank you, it turned out, using the game without forcing compatibility proton layer resolves that issue.

I will consider bazzite for a future installation.

Also, I have a pretty hilarious story connected to this to tell:

I was sitting in voice chat with my friends, and just listening to them. I could not queue up with them, because VAC is making my life harder than it has to be. They joined a premium game and we/they are never cheating. They faced a hacker. Next round, another team member of their team turned on full hack too. Turns out, while I could not play the game without cheats, they were stuck in a HvH game (Hackers with Wallhack/Aimbot on both teams). ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Oh… I always used it like this, I didn’t know I can just NOT check the “force compatibility” checkmark. Thank you, that solved the problem.

Why does the picture get cut off? 🤬

I think most laptops get thrown away before the battery is dead. In my case, I could just throw the battery to the recycling yard and go on without battery. As I already told, the laptop is plugged in 24/7.

Thank you, I like the idea. Will research in this way.

Unplugging by hand is a bad solution. I want to have this even when I am not at home, it has to be automated.

The converter says “Output: 65W” So it would be something, and a good place to start as the battery is there anyway and is plugged in all the time too, anyway.

I can agree. Gaming, especially running some older games (early 2000s) is infuriating. I spent a whole evening tinkering around to get it to run, only to realize at midnight, oops it crashes occasionally for unknown reasons. Actually playing games > getting games to run properly

I bought one of these a few years ago, still works, still comfy to sit on a whole day. It was worth it.

Good marketing point: LibreOffice has NO ENSHITTIFICATION! Great!

Good luck with it. Hope it doesn’t fail like the LiMux project back then.

Munich tried it - called it project LiMux. It was stopped in 2017.

Maybe this time it will go better, although the reasons for switching back to Microsoft clients were fragmentation, no compatibility with other software and bad interdepartmental communication.

• Which I bet hasn’t changed at all in Germany.

God damnit, Counterstrike really fell off.
