Some of us still duel-boot

You can mount drives to folders as well, tho I think you need at least a C: drive. You could do this as far back as 93 when they introduced NTFS I remember seeing this option in win2k

Calabogie, Ontario, is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears, deer, moose, otters, wolves, and foxes. This is where we used to camp, just off the logging roads, we also camped in Denbigh off the logging roads there

We used to go rough camping every weekend in summer. The 2 dogs would take off as soon as we stopped at the camp spot, mark the area and eventually come back, they were never tied out there. We never saw signs or even heard bears (they can be quite stealthy) dogs presence is a great deterrent. Glad the bears were not this smart or all our food (left on the ground) would have vanished

Expectation vs Reality

Ahh, thank you. Will try that as well

Ahh 80s shorts, where ALL your assets are on display

I’ve never gotten a Linux system running with the expectation that it will work 100%.

I only expect an OS to do what it was designed to do. I was so happy when steam went full crazy on proton, all of my flat library works like a dream, only 30 or so games, my VR library is over 100.

100% I do know of (and was well aware before my move) the limitations, I used linux in early 00. The way flat games are today I see VR being similar in 5 - 10 yrs (we are a small community overall and even smaller on linux). We WILL get there because the "real gurus" will take us there, I has faith and patience. Until then, M$ can harvest my streams and VR gameplay (I have stripped all apps, files, and flat games from my windows install and I only play for 2hrs at a time 5-7 times a week)

I love how many like the ACA but absolutely HATE Obamacare. That moment of realization on their faces never gets old. "Why would they call the ACA Obamacare?"

The birds I watch are real

Now I will lock myself in this cell as penance.

Now THAT is love, she thought of everything

Yes, we can play "some" VR games on linux (vive(my headset), index, quest, and pico all have compatibility) but it is not yet at the point flat games are. I'm still trying to get more than the meta ported games to play with proper feeling(even they are a little lacking), the other games almost all have issues with frame rate, making it extremely tiring and headache inducing, then there are the mods that do not have linux native mod installers/launchers (satisfactory modders made theirs work well, install game through steam, run smm, install mods, boom done) where you need to install steam a second time with the game inside it as well. It is coming along and I am here for it, but until VR is up to speed I cannot let go of that crap os, all I can do is play all the games that work well in linux and the rest on a content stripped windows (I've removed all apps and files not required for VR/streaming)

STRONG SUGGESTION FOR VR USERS ON STEAM: Get WLX overlay to be able to interact with your desktop since steam likes to close the desktop overlay when the desktop is interacted with

Yeah, I am finding I like snaps less and less, tho I do like the sandbox aspect (her grandson will be using this system from time to time so I feel some sand boxing would be appropriate). will I need to manually update her ff if its an appimage? The only appimage I am using right now is WLX overlay and other than "everything is there" I don't recall if it will update itself.

it is Firefox(snap), she only has her account with the official site, not the steam version, I did find that wonderful script for ESO in lutris. I was just suggested gamescope to look at as well

She does close it as even on windows she found it made the system laggy, and it appears hardware acceleration is on in firefox but I think the snap is installed (thought I installed the flatpak same install on my system), every setting is the same as mine.

Oh nice, just read the page. I haven't installed steam on her system yet as she doesn't need it, she is running through lutris and this looks like it will work. I will definitely test this on sat when she isn't home, thanks

I'll need to dig deeper, but she is guarding her pc like a mother lion guarding a cub. I ran the commands - vainfo, vdpauinfo, and vulkaninfo | grep VK_KHR_video_ only vulkaninfo kicked back what it should have. I tried the same commands on my system with the same results and we are using the proprietary Nvidia driver NVIDIA driver (open kernel) metapackage 580 (proprietary, tested) only on her system it doesn't say "device using recomended driver" so I need to find the recommended one for her but she is in the middle of minecraft and youtube and doesn't want to reboot now, hopefully sat I can when she is at work

I was smart(mostly), tested everything on other systems, my laptop has a similar gpu, and left her an escape valve by buying a new m.2 and putting the old one in storage.

We been together 20 yrs, she trusts me. Maybe she turns into a stocking wearing cat-girl... hehe

Yes, shes been playing since launch
