Thats beautiful. mines been watching me for about 5 months game and everything else. Today she is setting up ESO and the addons and may poke around to personalize her system. Bonus, as I removed her windows drive, she found some files she didn't know she had but really wanted. Tonight we get the last bits setup. I forgot that the nvme in her system, my old pc from 5 years ago, only had a 120gb capacity I replaced it with a 1TB nvme
unless they need kernel level anticheat, the rest should work. just demonstrate how well your system runs these apps and that should help. just be ready to be their on-call tech hehe
Yeah, once the hardware issue is covered we are golden. She has about 90% of what she needs now, tonight we fix the rest, like programming the buttons on her g13. ESO and Mc installed no problem, Minion was a bit til I got flatpak going, should be fun tonight finishing it all off
Oh, my teaching of the file system is (and the video does it nicely) these are your folders, these are not your folders just like in windows hehe once i finish the last touches she won't really know she is on linux
Oh yeah! Meant to do that on mine, ext4 is what I am using, but yeah she will get btrfs as timeshift suggested it when I finally activated it last month
If I had gone with mint I would have brought her on it as well as it is easier for me to support what I am using, tho if I were to set her up and then never help mint is the way. The only DEs I really used ever were Gnome and KDE, I did play briefly with XFCE and another one I can't remember from the early 00s
edit: forgot to thank you for the offer of assistance
Base buttons (left, right, wheel), yes they will work, just the 12 on the side need to be programmed (look at the razor naga for an equivalent example to her mouse)
I see a few other things in that movie coming true, like the tat Not, Sure received, the food kiosks that drug you when violent, can't wait for that movie "Ass" or the tv line up
Yeah, mine just wants to play her 2 games and watch some streaming stuff. KDE should be a very shallow learning curve, almost everything is laid out similarly just some terminology stuff is different. I liked Gnome when I used it many years ago but for my VR at the time I set this up KDE/Wayland was the suggested way to go and now I don't want to change my DE even if Gnome now works as well as KDE. I am getting more excited for this as the day progresses. The greatest pain (timewise) will be downloading ESO. I wonder what would happen if I just copied her current ESO installation into the destination after letting lutris setup the ESO environment, her ESO install is around 120gb
Yeah, simple as possible. She has 2 drives (a new 1tb m.2 and iirc a 1 or 2tb platter) and that will be the extent of partitions, I even stopped doing partitions on my systems this time around. I didn't plan on doing a vm, now I just might, (is there a container or something ready to dl? I seem to recall reading that a bit ago. Iit has been a long time since I used a vm, is it possible to clone her active windows into a vm?) her proprietary needs are simply G13, ESO and Minecraft, the rest as you say are web based. HELL no to external repos, except the G13 one, I certainly do want it simple for her. Over the past 4 months I've been scrutinizing the updates before running em and have had 1 issue with FF but the rest has been a dream.
As I said I'm leaving her a rip cord in case she just doesn't like it, I don't see her having issues after a week of use.
