This game is really good, but I’ve tried to get into it a couple of times. It’s pretty brutal, and I never got very far before quitting. I should have another go.

I don’t think Australian cops are quite as trigger-happy as those in the USA.

I got the demo for this when it was on a Steam Next Fest, bought it immediately on release, and finished it in one sitting. Good game. I haven’t looked, but I bet the speed run videos of this game are mental.

There’s also a level editor, so pretty much infinite content.

Same here. I do appreciate all the help you’ve given, and I know now that I will be able to get stuff working when I do inevitably make the switch. I’ll be saving these posts for when I do. Thanks.

The drive being formatted as NTFS is the issue. Valve doesn’t recommend this with Proton/WINE for reasons. NTFS isn’t case sensitive, for example.

If you have the space to temporarily move your SteamLibrary elsewhere you can just format the drive to ext4 and move the folder back. (If not we are in one of those ‘30 different possible ways to solve the problem’ situations that was mentioned at the top of the comment chain :P)

I don’t, and I’m out.

Yeah it is. Though, if you’re doing sim racing and also modding a game it isn’t an inherently a plug and play situation even in Windows. :P

True, but I’m at least familiar with it.

Most of the games I play are just ‘buy, click install on Steam, press play’.

All my games are installed on a non-OS drive. Will I have to re-download them, or will Steam automatically detect them once I point it to the directory?

I’m not worried about the install of the OS itself. That seems pretty straighforward.

Thanks. I will say, though, that still seems pretty lengthy and complicated to get working. ;) But I guess I only have to do it once.

Most of the other mods are simply cars and tracks, which I guess are just drag and drop like in Windows. The only other one that might be an issue is the 2Real traffic/pedestrian mods.

I’m still plugging along with Windows 10. :) It’s mostly just laziness about having to go through and reinstall everything on a clean install that’s causing the most resistance to change, and the thought of learning an operating system I’m not familiar with just adds to the inertia.

What even are the significant differences with different distros? I’ve seen Bazzite recommended as the best one for gaming. Mint comes pretty strongly recommended as well.

Legend! I’m saving this post for when I do finally get the motivation to switch.

The main mods I’m concerned about are Custom Shaders Patch and Pure, but I believe the devs are working on Linux versions of those as well.

It’s KIA, friend. I like the Picanto GT line.

I’m old, and can’t be fucked learning a whole new system. I just want to browse the internet and play my games. The biggest barrier is getting my simracing gear and modded Assetto Corsa working on it.

OK, so tell me how to get Assetto Corsa Content Manager, Custom Shaders Patch and all the other mods I have installed, Quest 2 VR and Moza Pit House working in Linux, because that’s the thing keeping me from switching. Would WINE work well enough for that?

I’d switch if every discussion about Linux didn’t devolve into lengthy discussions about the complicated ways you need get anything working on it.

hopefully soon it’ll be a thunderous wet fart.

Good article. Any company doing any of those examples deserves to die.

The companies that will pull ahead in the next 24 months are not the ones that adopt fastest. They are the ones whose judgment systems are mature enough that adoption does not break them.

Yeah, judgement doesn’t seem to be a high priority for the a.i. addled mind.

Not just eggs. Rectangles are back!

And if anyone believes that absolves them of responsibility, they deserve all the police stating they get.

Time to get your Insane Clown Posse makeup working.
