They did promise that like 3 years ago.

I have a couple games that were Windows 98 and Windows XP games that don’t work on Windows 10/11, but work just fine on Linux. It’s funny that Linux is sometimes better at running Windows games than Windows is.

I’m sorry but I just don’t buy that.

First of all, you can’t solve a problem you’re not willing to work on.

Second, no one is expecting a solution that bans 100% of cheaters and has zero false positives. We all know that’s unrealistic. So saying no one has solved it yet is kind of misleading. There are existing solutions that work well enough for most people.

Third, there are solutions that can run entirely on the server side that would work for every system. Riot just isn’t willing to use them.

My comment stands. Bad engineers that can’t solve a problem other people have already come up with solutions for.

So basically, “it’s too hard, and our engineers are not good at their jobs.”

I switched from Windows to Linux during the whole Vista debacle back in 2008. For basically ten years I was out of the PC gaming scene. I fucking love Proton and what its done for Linux as a gaming platform. Now I play (almost) everything on Linux, no sweat. The only things I ever need my Windows partition for anymore are things with those shitty anticheat platforms that just assume you’re a cheater if you use Linux. Cause, you know, Linux scary.

I use ProtonVPN whenever I download a lot of Linux ISOs.

That’s how true hackers read the data without a cd-rom drive.

I would gladly pay good money to just download an MP4, but they have never given me that option.

I honestly can’t tell the difference between 4K and 1080 unless I’m right up to the screen, so I only have a few choice favorites (that are heavy on the special effects) in 4K. It’s such a massive amount more space just for a slightly better picture.

It’s not so much about where you find the download, but more about which person or group encoded it.

There used to be one called Turntable.fm, but it shut down a while ago. Not a playlist, but like a live DJ thing. Maybe there’s something like that around.

It may have been, but I wouldn’t know. I’m never going back on that platform again. They stole a couple hundred dollars worth of games from me.

I had an Oculus account. I bought games for Oculus. Facebook forced me to link my Facebook account to it. Facebook removed Oculus accounts so it was all under Facebook accounts. Facebook deleted my account. I no longer owned the games I bought. I deleted the Facebook app.

I’ve used wget to mirror websites. It works very well.

Sign up, watch videos, cancel account. Or look for pirated versions, but Nebula is one of the places that has yet to turn shitty.

One thing that would be good to check is to make sure the Nvidia proprietary driver is actually controlling your video card.

Run

sudo lshw -c video

in the terminal, and make sure that under “configuration” you see “driver=nvidia” and not “driver=nouveau”.

Also make sure there’s only one entry that comes up. I’m pretty sure your CPU doesn’t have an iGPU, but good to make sure.

You could also try Krita, which is free.

Windows also doesn’t work out of the box like you demonstrated in your post, people are just familiar with how to get it working. Like, Linux isn’t more complicated than Windows, it’s just both complicated and unfamiliar to a lot of people.

You can rip DVDs just fine with Handbrake. If you watch some of your videos and you like the quality, keep doing what you’re doing.

I donate hundreds of hours of my time every year maintaining several open source projects. Does that count?
