I used rufus as well to get a working install and it worked flawless.

Musk and russia. Russia has been a far greater problem and is also behind many stupid musk takes.

I recently quit facebook due to rampant russian propaganda, unmoderated communities full of far left or far right (same thing really) bots and constant, rampant scams and ai posts. It’s not that platform has it, any platform with 5 digit userbase has them. It is that FB has used it consistently across all their platforms to drive “”“”“engagement”“”".

What are your issues? My problems were games on ntfs filesystem and secureboot. After fixing those two i can say windows is terrible and requires tons of tinkering to get things working as opposed to linux where you just plug it in and it chugs.

I had no interest in linux half a year ago and now I go around telling people that linux is less tinkering and headaches to play games and use daily than windows (cause it is)

If it don’t work on linux cause it was made for windows, fine. Console software doesn’t run on any os natively for example and I aint mad. If it is following the trend of “it works on linux but we ticked a box on our anticheat so it doesn’t” then I am a bit upset.

Steam vr works for a ton of people flawlessly. I only have jitter issues but most have told me theirs works fine. So ymmv as there are people on windows who have vr issues too.

Both have been seeing significant improvements recently or have been gotten working. You can test most recent fedora without installing to see if it works.

In my experience linux runs every game I want and has done it with less issues, crashes and tinkering than it was on windows 11. I constantly see posts from windows users about how some game doesn’t work or crashes while it runs fine on both deck and pc. Only games not working are those that are disabled by devs to scapecoat massive amount of hackers onto linux users.

With meta on your resume you can easily find employment or freelance. Tech people have widely applicable and desired skills. Hell they could even move to a non 3rd world country and be better off.

Not for me since i had already played better open world games. Games like stalker which had amazing a life and animals that were programmed to act like real ones rather than spawning a tiger and an antelope 20m infront of you and setting one hostile to other, fc2 which was flawed but the ai interactions were mind blowing like sniping out a guys leg and watching allies drag him to cover, arma, crysis etc. all were better but fc3 was casual, accessable and marketed.

I’ve hated what ubisoft has done to gaming ever since the fc3. Only shining beacons were early siege and rayman games. They have incredible artists and programmers working at it and could make some great games but the directors completely double down on the most generic, most mindeless wide appeal possible. I regret buying wildlands because the setting is unique. The game is as tactical as far cry which is just mindleslly run into camp, use your overpowered character against deaf and dumb enemies and complete the collectable.

I tried using the fedora disk image tool on windows11 and it bricked my usb stick despite it seemingly completing all fine. A lesser known disc image tool worked well. Most likely not conspiracy but with Microsoft and Intel colluding to ensure Intels dominance makes me suspicious.

Wheres your protests? You haven’t even tried to see if it gets put down.

How are you any different from an extremist right winger at that point? You want violence rather than solutions.

I have my index working on fedora with minimal issues but vrwebhelper causes massive lag, crashes and once turned off I have jitter every time I turn my head. It is close but no cookie.

I had a similiar tale. I just started programming course in uni and took the OS class where we interacted with servers a ton through bash. Then I realized I spend so much time mucking around in the myriad of control panels and regedit of windows to get basic things functioning and to diagnose constant BSODs that I might as well go to linux. Turned out linux is the experience windows markets itself as: easy and streamlined. It is just a lot less work than on the windows side once you get used to how linux does things differently. Overall experience has been smoother, workflow has been nicer and all my BT stuff and audio equipment works with less errors and bugs, while not requiring ANY installs. Once I got past the errors that windows would also get if you set up your BIOS and filesystems for linux, it has been smooth sailing on my nvidia gpu even. Only issue is jittery VR that I haven’t bothered to look into as I simrace on my monitor now.

As a farewell gift, windows 11 bricked my fedora boot thumbdrive. Twice.

with a de facto totalitarian who attempted a coup at the helm, americans will finally understand for the first time what it means to be “free”. It will be like pulling out a rotten tooth: painful but it will get better. Once the civil war that is required to get trump out of office in 10 years is finished.

Surely 100 dollars out of your yearly taxes to start a pointless war on two fronts is better than 20 cents out of your yearly taxes to stop the greatest threat to human rights, ability for people to self govern and peace in europe against an enemy who has been interfering in everyones internal politics and threatening everyone with nukes constantly.
