A vote for never looking back 👍

Alternate take: what we are seeing now is what happens when you let “influencers” run things.

This was my first thought. Just zero code review going on? Some random server only that dude knew about? tf kind of controls these people have in place?

Oh right, none of the shit the company should have had.

Instead of jail time, the government should consider giving this guy whistleblower status and investigating the corp for negligence.

Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of overlap with you. (I do own Star Citizen from the initial kickstarter, but haven’t tried it on Linux. There IS a Bottles setup for it that says it works well, but I have no experience to share.)

Phasmophobia I thought I played on Linux a bunch, but the game itself was just terribly buggy. Could be that was Linux, but I could swear my friends on Windows were having similar problems. (One reason we don’t play this anymore.)

The rest I haven’t tried, so can’t help. It feels like either you game quite a bit more broadly than I do, or you got really unlucky. Here’s a quick list of my recently played games with no hiccups - maybe the issue is indy titles tend to work better?

Vampire Survivors Schedule I Kingdoms Reborn PULSAR: Lost Colony Mindustry Star Trek: Resurgence Tales and Tactics Powerwash Simulator Motor Town The Headliners Ale & Tale Tavern Space Engineers …

No problems. Didn’t really have to think about anything with any of these.

You haven’t told me any of the games you’re trying to get to work.

If they have kernel anti-cheat, anti-Linux checking, etc then you’re going to have bad luck and may want to consider a VM and GPU passthrough.

With the vast majority of games I have tried on Linux, things Just Work out of the box.

I mean, usually you can think about your own process as a black box as long as you can take in whatever format they give and output whatever format they need.

You have to make your own decisions, of course. I just want to say: it’s not impossible.

Tell me you haven’t tried Proton on Linux without telling me you haven’t tried Proton on Linux.

No, they’re saying you are making a mountain of molehill and using it as justification. You are saying you are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Now you two feel free to proceed, I have my popcorn.

If you’re not willing to try to escape the terrible enshittification of Adobe, I don’t think anyone’s gonna be able to help you.

That sucks. Sorry you have to deal with their bullshit AND Microsoft’s bullshit.

Other software might surprise you. 🤷‍♂️

So… Skynet. 👀

The OP asked about the state, not cities. There is a ton of cheap land here. There are also tons of different sized cities with different housing costs.

You said others were offering straw men? What is this?

Ah, memories. Knowing the music and knocking the score off the stand to fuck with my stand partner buddy… until the conductor had to separate us. Good times.

In any other engineering discipline this would he negligence.

Buy a nazi car if you wanr, but I am sure gonna fuxkin judge you for that.

Fuck your feelings.

They have. This account seems concerning to me either because they’re a real person asking these questions repeatedly and being given good advice then ignoring it and asking again later or it’s someone/something pretending to be in this situation for some unknown reason.

Haven’t been on reddit in years. Don’t miss it. Wish y’all would stop pining for one of the prime examples of enshittification so we could move the fuck on.

Stop tellung them things and start asking questions.

“Will the medicaid stuff still be there? The budget cuts are pretry steep, is that still going to work?”

“Do you worry about people with green cards being detained? Is it going to spread? He is already talkimg about taking away people’s citizenship. Is there anything we should do to be more prepared?”

When you don’t attack but instead question with an eye toward a shared outcome, you can make more progress.
