Are we that degenerate already??

Today I’m experimenting with Ansible. Wanna try setting up a Docker hosted RSS reader with it. Hopefully will write up controls for my whole Docker server with Ansible once I’m more familiar.

Years ago I finally nuked my Windows dual boot after one of their updates broke it. I still remember my laptop booting into Windows and being so confused. Haven’t missed it once.

IMO the Windows Store is why valve has invested heavily into gaming on Linux. Windows Store could easily become a huge Steam Store competitor if Microsoft were an effective company. So Valve wants to enable devices that don’t run Windows. Numerous other benefits for something like the Steam Deck as well, but I’d bet we see another Steam Machine someday - probably after they convince more companies to support Linux

Try a used laptop. Cheap, power efficient, built in UPS, small. Can be quite powerful and some are even upgradable

Did you try changing the version of proton you run the game with? Also, other games are working fine?

Thanks for the help! Smoothed things out a bit, but Call of the Dead is still unplayable. But it’s definitely because of the wild FPS swings I get on the map. Seems like it’s related to where I’m looking. From spawn, looking towards where jug is, my FPS drops to 20 or lower sometimes. Doesn’t affect walking speed, or anything really when using a controller. But mouse and keyboard are borked.

Maybe someday the performance of that map will be fixed. I tried a few proton versions without any improvements. For now, I’ll just use a controller. A bit annoying that the PC version has no aim assist for controller…

Basically seeing the same issue as this thread

You could pick up a used laptop for pretty cheap. Low TDP, leagues ahead of a Pi

Pretty big fan of manjaro

I got this one today on my work laptop - pretty surprising to me Microsoft pulls shenanigans like this without enormous backlash

AMD GPUs have open source linux drivers meaning no extra configuration is needed on install. Some linux distros make setting up Nvidia really easy, but I ran into problems years ago. I think Nvidia is theoretically releasing open source drivers soon though

Twice after a windows update I lost my bootloader menu and my laptop would boot straight into Windows. After the second time I just removed Windows. Some investigation revealed that “Windows does not support dual booting” which I believe translates to “we will ocationally cause issues that a beginner would struggle to fix in the hopes of them staying on Windows.” Just a theory. Separate drives for sure if you can. No idea if they still do this as it’s been years since I dual booted

I mean, I agree, but the problem isn’t just that I see this at work. I shouldn’t have to see it on a paid operating system. This is a normal user experience on Windows. Ads everywhere is annoying. I understand people can be proactive to disable this stuff, but I think it’s crumby of Microsoft to do

It’s a work laptop We’re a small company - I still feel like calling our IT terrible instead of Microsoft is misguided though

It was literally a notification; made a sound and everything. Didn’t go out of my way to see it. I’m not used to ads in my operating system so it was jarring. Surprised people accept it as normal

Lol I had to install AutoHotKey just to be able to do some basic keymapping on Windows. “Can be made good” is so different than “is good”

But yes our IT team is just one dude with a degree in biology

Have you tried other proton versions? I think I use a glorious eggroll custom proton for bo3. I think something to do with videos not playing
