Rules for thee but not for me

Sadly I found out the Linux version hasn’t gotten the latest update so you gotta run it through Proton if you want Co-op with people on Windows.

No Besiege fans in here? Probably the most relaxing way to cause complete chaos and destruction.

As a newer Linux user I really like flatpaks.

I don’t use them for most things I install but proprietary apps I want sandboxed or programs that have weird issues with dependencies I grab the flatpak.

Half the reason I switched to Linux almost a year ago was to avoid Microsofts forced invasive Ai bullshit. Seeing stuff like Recall has only cemented my decision.

I could go on a long rant about what I consider “right & wrong” when it comes to Ai but I’m just some dude and wanna use my own computer in the way I want to.

I ain’t gonna say it’s as easy as Windows but I personally haven’t had too much trouble running cracked games using the Lutris launcher.

Lutris also lets you show logs by right click on the game, So if you get an error while playing or loading it gives you something to look up.

Also you can ask for help over at /c/linuxcracksupport@lemmy.world

Welcome to the club!

Not only that but the original mixes of albums often don’t get put on streaming platforms because of licensing bullshit or whatever.

And especially for rock and metal the newer remasters of popular albums tend to be pretty bad and overly compressed or have weird post EQ added.

You have to add the drive to a file called ‘fstab’ to have it be mounted on launch

If you want a video guide here’s the one I learnt to do it from.

It is kinda annoying Linux doesn’t seem to have a decent auto mount solution yet especially for people like me with 6+ drives in their machine.

‘It’s not fair that we keep getting scammed and others don’t’

So just don’t give them money next time?

‘LALALALA I can’t hear you, it’s your fault not mine LALALALA’

I only recently found out Blackberry still make phones and they still have the physical keyboard! One of my coworkers has one and I did a double take when I first seen it.

I’ve tried a few and settled on Audacious.

It’s pretty basic overall but it allows you to use original Winamp skins which I love!

I got my KDE setup like that, sadly you gotta do it manually in the edit mode and it can be a bit finicky at first.

I only recently start using it after also being a browser email user all my life.

Kinda wondering what took me so long Thunderbird is great! don’t have to relearn questionable Ui between different email providers or re-login to check two mailboxes on the same provider.

Only annoying thing is not supporting ProtonMail out of the box.

Windows 11 got quite a few people to look into trying Linux

I personally didn’t think Win11 was that big of a downgrade over Win10, But I also didn’t like 10 to begin with so I didn’t need much convincing.

I used Reaper back on Windows but switched to Ardour for Linux, it’s abit weird to get used to but I’m getting the hang of it.

I’m a newbie bedroom music producer but I’ve actually had more luck with my audio setup on Linux than I did on Windows 10.

I’m using an older Scarlet 2i2 to record guitar and back on Windows I was always having driver issues or Windows randomly resetting the sample rate making my DAW freak out at me.

On Linux it just works right away without me needing to download or tweak anything. Only part of my setup that needed tweaking was using yabridge for a few Windows VSTs.

I threw Ubuntu LTS on an old Surface 3 and it worked without having to use the Surface-linux kernal.

My dads been using it for a year and Gnome works super well with the touchscreen.

I use uBlock but every now and then Twitch ads start slipping through, They normally go back to being blocked with the next uBlock update.

It’s a real cat and mouse game.

I didn’t want to reinstall the whole OS on my Dads laptop since he already has all his stuff on it.

But I’ll probably go Debian if he ever lets me do it.
