Been following the Linux world for quite a while, until one night when suddenly, my Windows decided to do the job for me and commit sudoku. 🔪+💽=🔥
So, with a sizeable loss of data, and my sanity going down the drain, I figured that this would be the perfect opportunity in time and space to join the party. Fast forward a month into the future, a botched attempt at installing the drivers for the GPU, a couple of botched attempts at installing and configuring WINE [no worries, it now works amazingly well] and there I am, figuring out the basics for how to NOT make your own life even more insane.
Here I am now, an Ubuntu user, running most of my non-Linux native games via Wine/Proton, helping the Warzone 2100 community with music and somehow managing to still be alive, meeting more and more people and making friends, so many that I can't even count them on my fingers and toes, following the FOSS news and watching closely the return of the RTS golden era.
Here's to a bright future to Linux! 🍻
I've generally ran Pop/Fedora and lately EndeavourOS ( they have nice wallpapers as stock ;-) ). I'm mainly a gamer and the little free time I have to relax due to family commitments I like to sit back a play a nice single player or Co-op with some mates although those mates are dropping like flies with real life time but hey that's life.
After many years of a bright future and evolving Linux community, lets hope it continues to flourish!
just registered on the forum and wanted to say Hello.
Im an oldtime gamer (started with the ZX-81 and then Commodore 64 back in the good old days) and have been playing Games for most of my life. I jumped into Linux 2 years ago and finally got rid of Windows.
Im trying to get my whole game collection running under linux which is working so far way better than expected.
so 3 years ago windows 10 did an update that was unusable on 3 of our computers.
my daughters and my sons computers were using ASUS motherboards and amd AM4 cpus
mine was an FX series motherboard with AM3+ cpu ( system broke down about sept-oct 2022)untill christmas of 2022
daughter could only game on windows 7 and sometimes linux
son could only game on linux at least until it locked up/ froze
mine was triple boot with Win 7, Win 10 (until it couldnt ) Linux Mint
my new system:
motherboard - Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2
CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
ram - Corsair Vengeance 3600mhz 16gig
graphics - RX 550 4gig DX12 capable
drives - crucial P1 500gig, 4TB USB WD, 4TB USb Seagate
dual boot - win10 (finally a stable build ) Linux Mint Debian Edition 5
