My company owns their infrastructure and we don’t have issues like this and our production servers are working like oiled machines and yet they want to move to 3rd party cloud services for reasons that have yet to be explained

It’s about TCP, lookup TCP packet or TCP header

I don’t understand why I’m being downvotes but alright.

The joke is NOT about TCP it’s something else entirely

AI will create the most cursed entry jobs humans have yet to see.

First job in the old days doing WordPress, managing someone’s vomit inducing PHP? Gone.

Jobs with jQuery spaghetti calling dozens of asp APIs like a rat’s nest no rat can traverse? Gone.

Python people explaining fail to see the point: Yes we know dunders exist. We just want you to say: “Yeah, that is a bit hacky, isn’t it?”

It’s because the public at large has no idea how Linux or distros work.

Id personally have people using SteamOS than Windows, another thing is convincing people to use Linux is very difficult already.

I very much hate the word app. That’s probably my biggest boomer trait.

Does anyone have this issue where the steam login toast just nukes the fps of whatever you’re playing ? I completely have disabled the overlay because of that.

I had this issue where a game wouldn’t launch at all and there weren’t any useful logs. I don’t know how to use wine to launch the game without steam so I didn’t do that. I stead I pretty much reinstalled kernel and dependencies. I don’t know what went wrong or how that fixed it but it did.

I think it had something to do with drivers.

My dad thinks caricatures are funny, I get it. But he had one done for my 8yo~ sister (at the time) and it’s probably one of her worst memories and maybe the cause of insecurities.

Arch in like 2019 maybe.

I still like Arch, I tried all sorts of distros in VMs, most feel clunky to me.

Tiling manager, GUI file explorer, minimal status bar and I’m set.

For my laptop this is swaywm, swaybar, nautilus.

I also use drun-like programs

Reddit Linux are just a bunch of gaming chuds. and I say that as a gamer.

They’ll take time to understand the landscape and there’s nothing wrong with that, yes reddit is dogshit but you won’t convince anyone by just telling them. They just have to look around for themselves.

All your concerns are valid and Linux handles all these well except:

If you play competitive games with kernel anti cheat it will simply not work on Linux courtesy of the game developers.

Linux is fully capable of running the game and the anti cheat but the game developers restrict it. Notable games are cod, fortnite, apex legends.

A notable competitive game that works on Linux is cs2 although you won’t be able to run 3rd party anti cheat like FACEIT as far as I know.

You can use the proton site to tell you how many of your games on your steam library are playable on Linux.

I’m on my 8th month or so using Linux to game and I’ve had no issues, most popular games will work. Most niche games use very simple tech like SDL and will just work.

Wine essentially creates a fake windows environment and handles a lot of internal API calls by kind of redirecting them to existing Linux services, so a lot of windows stuff will just work.

As for security. You realize most of the Internet runs on Linux ? Practically the majority of the internet is hosted on Linux machines.

As for a distrto there is no optimal choice you can make.

You can pick Ubuntu, Debian or Mint and find yourself disappointed in how restricting the power user experience is.

You can pick arch or cachy for the latest wine improvements but find yourself lost in how to handle the OS in case something goes wrong.

I personally think cachy (rolling release) is the best for gaming but you could encounter issues (skill issues really) that might frustrate you. These issues would lead to growth and improvement in your understanding of Linux but if all you want to do is game and you don’t care about understanding computers then it might not be for you.

I use wine for FFXIV. proton kinda works but not for my case. Certain mods use a bleeding edge version of dotnet and this version is not present in proton.
