Yes, I'm aware. But just saying you shouldn't be using either (V)FAT or NTFS as a main or gaming volume under Linux, only for removable media (or for dual-boot file transfer between Windows and Linux) if even that.
Linux uses XFS or ext4
Linux can read NTFS you are right. However when it comes to running Steam games via proton they never work. for a while i was considering giving up on Linux since nothing worked, and then i put the game on my SSD.... shit ran
i had to stick out for my pirate/non steam bros out there. I buy games when offered the chance like a good boy in almost all other instances though
im gonna be joining one soon to get some more experience with teh OS and potentially start ricing my build.
there aren't any stupendously awesome features on Apple that you can't get on Windows.

Actually didn't know this, Roblox is one of the games I played every now & then on Windows. I never tested it out on Linux though because it never really crossed my mind. That being said, I'll start doing an analysis of if it works and add it to the main post. There seems to be plenty of tutorials on getting it to work.
first of all, if it's that weird japanese type shit like Yume NIkki, .flow, 2kki, OFF, Omori, Oneshot, etc you have good taste
why not consider adding the roblox website as an icon/bookmark when you launch Firefox? I'm pretty sure the app uses some windows store dependencies to make it work. it's not AS simple as just having an icon on the taskbar, but it's about as simple as you can get
Yea, there are workarounds. But I am definitely more likely to get called in for tech support when they can't find the link or a game doesn't load. With too young daughters it really does have to be simple. It was a 'hacky' solution from what I remember.
They just wouldn't run, might be different for you since you're using a different distribution.
Some time, tbf i didn't bother trying to make them run too much
OK that's alarming. even the more obscure mods have workarounds on Linux. How long ago was this?
I have a PhD and I immediately refused to read through it all.
you read it as outdated but i read it as desktop friendly and customizable. And there's plenty of other DEs you can choose from, like GNOME which is more modern and android looking

quite a lot of people are partial to old school looking desktops… they're easier to read and save resources.
That's the beauty of it.
Believe it or not
the latter is literally based off of the former. Android is just a linux distro made for mobile devices
I value my time more than a few kilobytes a year.
Nah just that it works out of the box. You do get to choose your firmware though so you can run coreboot if you want but I'm guessing someone experienced can change that themselves.
If you just want one for working that's going to be easy for a Windows casual, Zorin OS offers the easiest distro for Windows users to get used to. Not sure how it works for gaming but I'd imagine it's as good as Mint.glad i managed to convert at least one person
Nobara and Mint are the best for gaming and casual use.
I agree, Zorin OS is a great and easy way to get started with from someone coming from Windows.
Thanks for the info. It's tough to find that insight on the hardware sites because they're so focused on specs and overall performance. I assumed that since the hardware is typically the same as other laptops the actual performance would be the same. There's a lot to be said for not having the driver headaches right out of the box, so I could see going with a laptop that already ships with a Linux distro.
there are things you can disable(apparently) but others you cant and can't know for sure due to the nature of the closed source but more importantly there are also things that maybe you already exposed before you realized the option was enabled or re enabled with an update like sensible passwords or important info captured by the keyloggers in the system to collect data for the improvement of the smart assistant or other excuses like that and once outside is too late and have no way to know who have it, and you don't even have to do something or move a switch for example a modern windows OS makes many connections with many sites before you can even interact with the system in a fresh install and there is also the thing about the kill switches to remove apps from your system
this aged poorly as i'd end up dumping windows 11 off my ssd for space reasons.... linux ended up working with a lot of stuff i didnt expect it to
