I’m glad I’ve learned to ignore people like you.

Man, it’s sad how effective peer pressure on the internet is.

It’s another reason why I don’t take most people on it seriously.

I’ve been using Manjaro for years without issue.

It is the best distro for my needs.

People say you should buy hardware that explicitly supports Linux, but I disagree. See if it works. If it doesn’t, then return it.

I’ve never had an issue with Linux compatibility on a laptop, and I use gaming laptops.

“Targeting proton” is another reason why I don’t take the development community at large seriously.

It’s full of dipshits all regurgitating each other’s stupidity.

For a developer, it is costly to maintain a separate build for Linux without the consumer base to justify the effort.

Only if you’re a bad developer or using bad tools!

I encourage everyone who thinks “it’s too difficult or costly” to see for themselves before believing the people taking them for a ride!

Would be pretty funny if Valve demanded that, but I don’t see it happening.

It’s really up to users and developers to grow some balls and stop suckling the corporate teat.

Nope.

Pirating games can be kind of a hassle on Linux. You need to install a lot of them in a Windows VM which will take up a lot of additional storage during the installation process. Once it’s installed, you can delete the extra copies. Getting the games to work can be a challenge, too. Be prepared to fiddle with a lot of stuff like Lutris and changing settings just to see what works.

I don’t have the patience to argue with you, but you are wrong.

I recommend using Manjaro instead.

I had something like this set up where essentially my wireguard VPS acted as a proxy that allowed me to forward all ports to my local machine that’s connected to it.

I had to use AI to figure this out, and I still don’t get it. Here are the commands that I saved:

ip route add 10.0.0.2/32 dev wg0;
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o wg0 -j ACCEPT;
iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -o eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT;
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE;
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1:65535 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2;
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 1:65535 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2;

This is to be run on the wireguard VPS.

wg0 is the name of the wireguard interface, brought up with something like wg-quick up wg0. eth0 is the name of the network interface.

I don’t fully understand it so I can’t explain it better, but this is what allowed me to forward traffic from my VPS to my computer as though it were a router with open ports.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in and give clarification.

Your complaint is about display server, not distro.

I think if he had somebody better to onboard him, he’d have a better experience.

In classic manchild fashion, you people always blame the user instead of the technology. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that switching to Linux is not going to be without issues for anyone, let alone the average computer user.

Instead of taking the opportunity to be a loser by gatekeeping, we should be saying “Yeah, the Linux ecosystem still has a long way to go. What makes it better is that it’s free software. You now get to be a part of the community making it better and get to see for yourself where we are.”

None of you will say that though because you’re too stuck in your ways. It makes me sick, but I’m glad I’m not one of you.

Manjaro was the go-to distro for laymen, but manchildren got upset it wasn’t “their” distro being recommended by parties like Valve so they berated anyone who suggested it.

LTT is the internet equivalent of those TV channels that were nothing but ads.

Having security updates locked behind a paywall is wild.

Canonical clearly has too many resources and they waste those resources on positions that don’t need to exist.

It’s free software.
