…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!
This, but GrapheneOS
I have mint on two laptops and I want to install it on my desktop but right now I have too much work to do and can not get a couple of days to install it and set it up the way I want. I have a lot of files I need to move first.
Moving all of my files was my holdup too. I had to set up some backup storage before I could consider Linux on any of my machines. Then, there was a lot of back and forth while I was paranoid about forgetting something. That step took a while.

who? why?
Ooh! I was hoping something like this existed. Thank you
My biggest hangup (so far) is modding games.
Nexus is built for Windows. CDPR’s RedMod is too.
It’s probably not that big a deal. I’m just shit at all this stuff. I’m not a coder. I don’t even know what the fuck sudo means. But I have a very loose grasp on using it. With a moderate amount of help from the internet. Usually.

Dragging mod files into folders is your easiest solution
Yeah that is one of the weaker areas of Linux. I think there is native support coming for Nexus soon.
I’ll just go back to modding morrowind LOL
Nexus is building a new version of its app, and the new one has Linux support (native app).
It’s not yet a full replacement, and at the moment only supports a few select games, but eventually it’ll expand to the full catalogue.
Closest comparison I can give of it is… It’s like clicking “Yes” when the User Account Control (UAC) popup appears on Windows when you’re installing stuff. That’s you, as an admin, confirming you want to perform whatever action is being performed.
sudo ...is perform an action/command as an admin.As for the mods. A lot of the time it’s a matter of taking the files you downloaded, and dropping them in the game directory (or a directory within the game directory).
Once you do it manually once, you’ll see it’s pretty straight forward and you don’t really need the mod managers.
Fun fact,
sudo...meansSuper User do...Yep

Literally came here to comment this lol
Welcome to Linux, here’s your thigh highs. We expect a post on UnixSocks soon.
can confirm, installed linux as a teenager and became a trans woman as an adult - the programming socks work 😉
BASICALLY YEAH
And please leave your PC running for a post on uptimeporn
Every time I stumble across an uptime post I laugh, and then proceed to do my daily ritual of having to fully pull out my power cable and reinsert it to get the laptop to wake up.
UnixSocks
How did I not know this was a thing
I didn’t either.
I’ll be in my bunk.
I’m glad you did.
Congratulations. One of us, one of us, one of us.

I mostly use Linux but I dual-boot windows just for VR and every time I have to use windows it feels sluggish in comparison
i do the same thing but i think it’s kind of on us - when you only boot windows once in a while it tries to do a bunch of things (updates, scanning everything for more data on your advertisement profile, virus scan, etc) at the same time
it was similar when i was running linux less frequently, i was annoyed like
ugh again bunch of updates, kernel update as well ugh now i have to reboot tooJust that linux does not force them on you. You decide when and if you even install those updates. Windows does it all in the background without telling you. I hate that behavior so much. This damn machine is under my command and yet on Windows it does whatever Microsoft wants instead of what I want.
Same. VR is the only reason I’ve still got a PC with windows on it.
ALVR is so frustratingly close to working for me with the Quest 2 on Linux
Some games actually work flawlessly with it for me now, but recently I wanted to get back into Into The Radius 2 since they updated it a lot, and because it only supports a specific VR framework that I can’t seem to get my system to use, the game itself doesn’t connect to my headset, so I had to boot back into windows for that
Then there’s VRChat which uses AntiCheat, which is basically a rootkit for windows…
I’m trying it on my laptop first cause me scard
Don’t be afeared, be bold. Be brave. Know you are taking a great leap forward that others are too timid to take.
This is just philosophy with computers ngl. Don’t be afraid to break stuff you will fix them eventually.
it’s probably going to be fine, but afaik it’s slightly more likely to be difficult on a laptop due to custom hardware
The only issues I had with Laptops so far were the WIFI drivers, as some distros, such as Debian, don’t have them OOTB. I think especially the major players with a focus on recent patches however, such as fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch and many others can install them rather easily during the installation.
Finally a good use of bullying.
I just updated my Win10 laptop to Debian 13 with Xfce 4.20!
