Go into the game’s settings in Steam and then set its compatibility to Proton Hotfix. You should then have the option to install it.

To judge my friends, of course.

This site puts my lowest cost estimate at ~$400 USD. Out of curiosity, I then went through my purchase history and added everything up, which came out to ~$1,000 USD. The average was ~$14 and the median was ~$10.

Watch Dogs 2. I’ve barely touched the story and just mess around.

It’s not just 12 year old kids either; this is how most people in the console market make their decisions. They prioritize the availability of games on the console over the hardware’s specifications and operating system.

I think Clipperz is. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.

As somebody who fully switched to Dvorak about 10 years ago, it has its benefits, but man oh man, does it bring out the shitty programmers who don’t realize that anything other than US QWERTY exists.

Don’t most games list their recommended and minimum system requirements? Wouldn’t also Task Manager or something similar suggest what the bottleneck is?

The OP was edited. I don’t think the archive link was originally there.

And MATLAB!

Good luck finishing it up and redoing that level on CE! Note that the pelican (pictured in this post) is the vehicle that is typically used to transport marines. You were driving a falcon.

There is an easter egg on that level that lets you drive a pelican, though!

Here’s the /s for those that didn’t click the link.

Gotcha, I honestly didn’t watch the video, so the joke is now on me.

I don’t know if this is the point you’re making, but IIRC, they are a disorganized group, so anybody can claim to be part of them.

Halo 2 on Legendary is a pain. I know you said in your OP you thought you might as well have done LASO, but that is 1000x worse, trust me.

I can carry you through the level sometime, if you want. I’ll test the invulnerability glitch on co-op at some point and see how well it works. My guess is it won’t work due to co-op teleporting.

You can make yourself invulnerable on the Oracle level (at least for the last fourth or so of it) by activating the lift to the room where you cut the cables while off the lift, then activating it again so it comes back down, and letting it squish you. It’ll yeet you to the top of the lift and you’ll be invulnerable for the rest of the level. I don’t know how well it works in co-op though.

It was a glitch that originated in the Halo 2 Vista port and carried over to the MCC since they based it off the Vista port.

I don’t agree with the first half. I’ve upvoted comments mentioning Debian because it’s the one I would recommend, but it’s not my favorite and none of my daily drivers use it.

However, I agree with the second half. OP seems to be avoiding actually fixing the issue and is hoping that rolling the dice on another distro will fix at least the USB issue. Fixing the issue on OpenSUSE will likely guide them to learn something helpful along the way and they won’t need to re-setup everything else.

I don’t know if it’s more resource-efficient, but when I wanted to start using VMs for work, I knew VirtualBox would not be a viable choice (thanks to Oracle and their horrible licensing), so I chose GNOME Boxes and have been pretty happy with it. I didn’t do any tests so I can’t say for certain , but it doesn’t seem like the resource consumption is that much different.

You’re most welcome. I completely understand your situation and is why I don’t constantly tell others to switch. I’m very happy using Linux, but I had to do a lot of learning to get here. I know it’s not realistic for everybody to have the motivation to make the move.

Keep in mind, SteamOS is going to be smooth for gaming, but possibly challenging for other things. Modding will still have some challenges to it and anything that isn’t gaming might not be so easy too. If you plan to use SteamOS when it comes out, the closest experience to it is Bazzite OS with KDE Plasma. If you’re curious enough, setup it up in a VM and try to get your non-gaming software working.
