I usually use my phones LTE (tethered connection via USB) when wifi doesn’t work during the install.

Nah, Diablo works fine on Linux.

I would stay away from Manjaro, it has a history or being unreliable due to the holding back updates for 2 weeks. EndeavourOS is getting recommended a lot recently, I’d go with that instead!

The EA launcher works just fine via Lutris. Source : I’m using it to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition perfectly fine.

Battle.net works as well, OW2 plays fine on Linux.

GOG & Epic work through Heroic Launcher as you mentioned.

As for a distro, I’d aim for something Arch based. Simply because you’ll get the latest drivers and mesa versions all the time, which is proven to increase FPS a ton over say, Ubuntu.

This is what I did. Gave my M1 air to my boyfriend for his coding classes and got a cheap used XPS 13, installed Arch on it and it runs much better than macOS.

Have you tried adding those games to steam and running them through proton ? They work fine on my arch box.

Super clean and sleek. I love the Gruvbox colors. So good on the eyes. Amazing setup!

This is also something I noticed when I was looking for a distro for my home media server. Tried Ubuntu Server, saw how they’re trying to push their premium services and nope’d the heck out.

I can understand they want to make money off of their service but I wasn’t a fan of that.

Noted. I’ve heard of QEMU but I never tried to get it working before. I’ll use that from now on.

I’ve been out of the loop about Linux and I’ll be switching back to it this weekend. What’s the best way to run VMs on Linux now (that supports Wayland)?

Oh wow Antergos. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a minute.

For anyone with issues on Memmy, I just emptied the password field on my account and filled it back in, then hit save and it worked.

I have gingivitis, hereditary. So I strictly brush after every meal, and try not to forget to floss. My mom wasn’t as rigorous and now she has major teeth and gum issues, so I don’t want to end up the same way.

Yep, same here. Deleted my account and made sure to delete all posts and comments before. Been on Lemmy with Memmy ever since. Never going back, I don’t miss it at all.

Oh okay I see! Yeah the phrasing is weird and English isn’t my first language so I guess I read it wrong, my bad!

Wow, I’m so out of the loop that I didn’t even know they made Asahi Linux. I was interested in trying it on my MacBook Air M1.

It’s more like a window manager but my Arch rig uses OpenBox. It’s a bit of a learning curve but it’s really nice, fast and light.

For a more conventional DE I really like Cinnamon and Budgie.
