i can play stardew valley natively in linux. there’s no reason to dual boot.
Good. I’m safe. I single-boot Linux for decades.
I’ve got it on a vm for work stuff and shit, but raw metal is only for unix based OS ;)
Yeah, I dual boot Windows
's ass outta my system >:C
I refuse. I flat out will not. Is there a couple games I’m missing sorely? Yes. Has the devil been whispering, “Come on… just a hundred gigs for that one game… you’ll only have to boot it when you play…” Also yes. But I refuse.
Not today, satan.
I know it’s Linux memes but is better than using a bit of both instead of but trying Linux at all. We need more casual people to try Linux. Not just diehards.
The Steam Deck is at least trying to attract the casual users in.
diehards really kill the community. I think the guys from suckles are most guilty of this
Are you referring to Suckless.org and their Nazi controversy (which was successfully removed from Wikipedia)
Sorry, I am a sinner.
As if windows would let grub live
I remember one time after checking out Ubuntu when I went back to Windows, my PC would ask if I wanted to boot into Windows or Windows.
“Whoops I stomped on the MBR again, what are you gonna do 'bout it?”
Change to Linux boot loader grub and two disks… Your old piece of shit disk for windows. The good stuff for Linux. Never look back… Unless your aunty needs help getting another virus or whatever windows offers.
I’m building a dedicated windows VR gaming PC that can live in my shed so I don’t have to dual boot windows to use my racing sim.
Yes Linux and proton have come a long way, and for the most part is more than good enough. But for certain things (like my HP Reverb G2, or proprietary sim racing hardware drivers) it’s just easier to pirate windows
Shed? What quality shed do you have that you feel comfortable using it for VR?
I’ve been thinking about keeping a running windows on the side once I switch my “gaming” system. There’s two things that won’t work well (or at all) on Linux: fully PC-tethered wireless SteamVR with my current hardware (HTC Cosmos Elite), and a ripping software.
I might keep a small windows running for VR (although I’m currently looking into trashing the hardware if a good alternative shows up). For the ripping software, I’ll just stitch a script that uses existing open source software to do roughly the same thing.
And I might just get a small box, like a 200something computer with only Steam and the wireless card, to remote play VR through it, if that’s an option.
Bye bye windows.
I’m so sorry Jesus, I just wanted to play some tarkov
Believe it or not, straight to hell.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ been daily driving Linux for at least a decade now…
But I haven’t found a way to run my HTC Vive on my nvidia gpu and the updater software for my car on Linux… So I still have a dual boot for those
updater software for my car
Can I just point out that there was a point in time in living memory where this statement would be utterly deranged? (And it’ll probably soon be unusual again because of OTA updates…)
Hard agree…
That point in time is forever for me. I’ll spend a few thousand on a really good bike before I buy a car that needs regular software updates
Oh, it still is.
i have a windows dual boot only for adobe and fl in case i ever wanna use it again. im 99.9% on linux nowadays (except at work)
