Then you call the phone number and its a "helpful" voice chat bot you have to tell your problem to and hope it directs you to the right directory in their convoluted phone tree

Yes

Weird, works for me

I agree with the other guy, I've done 3 playthroughs of that game on openSUSE tumbleweed with a GTX 1080.

My experience is don't try and run most games linux native, run them through proton in steam. Far more consistently out of the box working. If you run into any trouble, ProtonDB will have the fix posted 90% of the time

I personally find games to be more glitchy on Wayland, so if you're picking a compositor and want stability I'd say go X11.

That said, if you want "just works" go Linux Mint. I set my partner up with it near december 2023 and it's been smooth sailing. And they don't touch the command line at all

Out of curiosity, which games? Was steam flatpak or from repo?

To anyone who hasnt: do it! I did it a year ago and the only things you cant do are games with kernel level anticheat, but pretty much any of those games arent worth playing in my opinion anyways.

If your standards are low enough

I'm jealous, that looks incredible

I feel like after a few days chained to a tree your sense of time might not be very reliable

I use Kagi's "Fediverse Search" lens and I've found it to work quite well for finding posts that I sort of remember and want to find again
