Windows 10

... we'll see how long it survives.

The answer was about 1 year

This morning it went into a half hour update loop with me boiling with rage after the 3rd reboot or so. I nuked the partition and redid everything. Hopefully it lasts about another year, unless it was something I did.

I think I recently updated visual studio through the visual studio setup program, which is a huge beastly thing. That might have switched stuff on without my knowledge.

Now to fix grub so I can get back into linux

I despise this little 50 meg partition windows keeps making. I wouldn't mind it so much if it wouldn't stick it between my 2 useful partitions. Makes it difficult / impossible to resize if need more space with one or the other.


I tried moving it but it went very haywire and I ended up needing to blast all the partitions but sda1. It's some efi garbage. Never saw the need for any of that crap.

People will just lobotomize that shit like they did windows 10, but fuck them for even thinking this is a good idea.

I'm so fucking ready for it. We need the majority of games to run on Vulkan.

Proton does a great job of the emulation, the issue is none of the anti-cheats work on Linux because they aren't about to essentially let you install rootkits on your system to play a game.

Nobara is one, Garuda is another. There is also SteamOS, but currently IIRC the community packages SteamOS for non-Deck use, rather than Valve. But probably any recent distro will work fine (for recent Mesa and AMD drivers). Proton can be downloaded via Steam, and there are helper tools to get the various Glorius Eggroll (GE) Wine releases, Tools like Lutris can help set up various launch environments.

What kind of performance cost does Proton incur?

Maybe -5% avg, -10% at most. It really is fairly marginal. Steam allows you to filter games for Linux, Deck Verified Only, and Deck Verified and Playable. Any of those three should work fine on desktop Linux.

this will tell you if the game with anti cheat is supported in Linux.
