What about JProton or Proton on Rails?

They’re not though.

In Steam, you have to open the settings for each game individually to set it.

In ProtonUp-Qt, you get a list of all of the games installed with their proton DB rating in one column and a drop down to select the compatibility layer in another. So you can easily set several games almost at once, without having to set it globally.

Really the only things I’m still using Windows for are work (even if I replace my workstation with Linux, which I’m working on doing, I still have to manage the Windows servers), and simulator games (peripherals work in Linux but often need extra fussing to get them working correctly so for now I’m just sticking with Windows on that machine)

Oh wow, I think I hate that… Condition between the results? Yuck.

Because different servers would have different rules and moderators so if one becomes toxic like that you could block the instance and stick to ones that are actually helpful

Gotta love finding the exact issue you’re having being asked, and closed as duplicate, and what they say it’s a duplicate of isn’t even the same issue and doesn’t apply to you…

One thing I really dislike about Python is the double underscore thing, just really looks ugly to me and feels excessive. Just give me my flow control characters that aren’t whitespace

Yes.

Computers are the worst in my opinion, everything is tens to hundreds of times faster by specs and yet it feels as slow as it did in the 90s, I swear.

Network speeds are faster than ever but websites load tons of junk that have nothing to do with the content you’re after, and the networks are run by corpos who only care about making money, and when they have no competition and you need their service, why would they invest in making their systems work better?

An octopi is a fun project, for mine I printed a new internal enclosure for the mainboard that has mounts for the pi, so the printer is completely integrated with it (never did finish setting up the internal power routing to power it directly off the power supply, but that’s also completely doable)

This.

We did get pissed off, then turned on a GPO to block it

If most of your games are on Steam, it makes the transition super smooth (with only a few exceptions I’ve had so far, and none that I’ve been unable to get working with a bit of tinkering)

I don’t know if I can spare that much… Wait a second! Nessy, when did you get a Lemmy account?!

That’s fair

If it’s done EU wide, it’ll take a lot more than a corrupt politician to reverse it

So, it didn’t fail from a technical fault but a political one? I feel like you’re arguing against it but I’m not following how that has anything to do with the viability of it (especially if it worked for 13 years)

Since Gnome depended on it, they would have had to intentionally push past warnings to force the uninstall, assuming they’re using a distro with a dependency mapping package manager… So, no, that’s not a perfectly reasonable thing to do

They’re using a proprietary driver, not the open source one

Just going to say, I do those things too, on Linux, and while I can’t say I never have to mess with config files, it’s not frequent. And, the computer acting like it’s my computer rather than on loan from a megacorp is nice.

It’s not all the way there yet but it’s so very close and the bits that are still pain points aren’t nearly as bad as the pain points of Windows.

As the other commenter said, you should give it a serious try. Mint is very smooth overall.

Then there’s XXL and 2XL, which aren’t the same size for some bizarre reason
