Your experience from 80s is similar to my experience now with Switch games (it’s not the same only because I’m not a kid). Download times do suck but I have a really simple solution for them: I simply do something else until it’s finished. And there are great games that don’t take much space space on your storage, Balatro is first one that comes to mind.

Yes, I’m using ATLauncher. Just tried Flatpak version and it works. Thank you.

Recently switched to NixOS.

My current install is around 1 year old.

Problems I had were because of software not being on the latest version, not updates. Things just work on Arch for me. Only thing that ever broke was Xorg because of Nvidia drivers but that’s pretty easy fix.

Arch based distros are pretty stable in my experience. I actually had much more problems on distros like Debian and PopOs than Arch.

I use EndeavourOS (which is almost the same as Arch) for gaming and it works great.

You can use Heroic game launcher for Epic games and few other launchers. There is no way to use official launcher as far as I know.

You can do .net on Linux but Windows is much better for that. I recommend using Windows for work and Linux for everything else.

I recommend going with Virt-manager, it works much better than VirtualBox in my experience.

Only saw it once in hospital when I went to do first aid exam for driver licence.

My first distro was Ubuntu because it is a beginner distro and it looked interesting.

It works. Thanks!

I also got this error for Vulkan while launching the Steam.

It seems like game breaks here.

It still doesn’t work.

I don’t have any shared partitions.

Still doesn’t run.

My driver version is 550.67 and VRR is enabled.
