Using a different version of WINE/Proton could work. It may also depend on some extra utilities you need to install on your WINE prefix (Wine tricks is the tool to use for this). If that doesn’t work, the almost guaranteed to work option is a virtual machine running Windows. This comes with a small performance hit, but that may not be a concern.

The first thing I’ll say is the reason you’re more comfortable with Windows is because you’ve been using it for however long and learning to deal with the issues it has. The same needs to be done on Linux. You’ll have to learn how it works just like you forgot you did for Windows.

Second, along with logs like other users said, you have to know how to use a search engine well. Most issues will be easy to solve, but some may take some searching. The Arch wiki is a good resource even if you aren’t using Arch.

Every modern MMO is pretty much solo with people around. I’d say this is especially true for ESO. There’s essentially no reason to socialize from what I recall, but I never made it to end-game. I prefer the FFXIV design where you can play solo if you want, but there’s also reasons to socialize if you want to. It’s much more interesting to hang out in. In ESO, from what I remember, I never felt like hanging out and only played to complete content.

Have you tried it? I played the beta and didn’t care for it, but a few years after release I tried it again, with a different mindset, and enjoyed it. I played it for a few months then. It’s not the best MMO I’ve played, but it’s good enough. If you want a pretty casual MMO in the Elder Scrolls world, it does the job fine enough. I personally don’t think it does enough to push you to socialize (most MMOs now have moved away from this), but it’s a decent single-player theme park with plenty of interesting things to do.

Yeah, you won’t. Best you can do is complain, but they won’t listen. It’s similar to if the game went offline. You are not promised a refund for that.

It sounds like they’re using Anti-Cheat Expert, which is some Chinese AC. It doesn’t support Linux and there isn’t an existing wine module to support it, like there is for Battle Eye and EAC. So no, it won’t work at least for the moment.

Yeah, it looks like EA’s launcher/anti-cheat explicitly do not allow wine. Oh well. EA hasn’t published an interesting game in many years.

I don’t think so. This is from three years ago. https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

All? It’s just Riot, right? I haven’t had issues playing anything else, but I also don’t play most AAA games so idk. What other companies are doing it?

Linux users tend to give much better bug reports than Windows users (if they do at all). That alone is probably a good enough reason to do Linux first. There are many more good reasons when the first goal is getting it functional and not getting as many users as possible (who will probably hate it if they’re not a technically skilled user because there will be bugs).

You’re making an assumption their first priority is the number of users. I would suspect that isn’t true, and they’re aware Windows has more users.

After putting my computer to sleep, it would immediately wake back up. Eventually found out it was my Logitech wireless dongle that was causing the issue. I had to create a script that disabled USB ports during sleep and a systemd service to make sure it activated on every boot.

Thanks for this. I’m going to look into it. This happens on my computer, but it’s been happening for years, which includes a long time on Windows. I had pretty much given up on it because I’ve tried unplugging just about everything and it still happens. It might be something else for me.

For the Nvidia issues, that hopefully shouldn’t be an issue soon after the open source drivers. The few mostly solvable issues with Linux are quickly dissolving.

They probably wouldn’t approve of this either, so what’s your point. If you’re using this you might as well just switch over. You can still run a Windows VM if you really need it, or dual boot if you absolutely have to.

It probably wasn’t my first one because I have been playing games younger than I can remember, but the first one I remember playing is The Lion King. You don’t forget playing that game. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make a game about a kid’s movie so damn difficult?

I don’t disagree really, but you do have to always consider why some things are considered harmful (and just called drugs) and others not (and usually ignored that they’re drugs). For example, I’m sure caffeine is allowed in the school. It’s the world’s most popular stimulant. It is a drug and is often abused, and many people are addicted without even realizing it. Who gets to decide which drugs are “good” and which are “dangerous?” Are they using a scientific understanding to reach such a conclusion?

I think you misread. The commenter said no choice is bad in general.

It’s the Olympics. They don’t need to justify things. Their entire purpose is to make money by selling ads. This is obviously to get more viewership by requiring the women to be almost naked.

Well, achktually SUDO stands for “substitute-user do.” The default action just happens to be the super user, but you can substitute any user.

Manga exhibition. That’s a pretty obvious clue. It’s a pornography device. For example, when you type 58008 into it and turn it upside down it makes boobs appear on it.

The good thing about Valorant is you can just play (the better) Counter Strike instead and it doesn’t try to install a rootkit. I guess for LoL you could play one of the alternatives too, but I don’t know if any if them are good. They aren’t my thing.

I haven’t played HOI4 on Linux yet, but I’ve played other PDX games. They have just worked for me. I don’t know if you’re doing something different, but I just install the DLCs and they are instantly recognized.
