  • Look into Sideloadly and uYouPlus by qnblackcat . I’ve been using it for years now, and while a hassle to sign the apps every week, it’s the best we have unfortunately.

    I used to love going there until those types of comments were upvoted plenty while the more sane comments were greyed out because of downvotes.

  • Yes, games and programs that are games adjacent are mainly what I use.

    I've happily gamed on openSUSE, but have only been successful with anything through Steam. Some GOG games work, but I tried a few abandonware games (Sims 1, Sims 2) and could never get them installed properly for whatever reasons. Because of this, and the programs such as save editors, I actually went and created a KVM just for those Windows programs that I didn't want to reboot just to get back into Windows for.

    Either way, I have "tweaked" Windows with ChrisTitusTech's Windows Utility just so I can block/remove as much telemetry and tracking as possible. I pine for privacy through Linux though. :/

    I am wanting to help more though, so I've been to a few GitHub repos (wemod-launcher) to try and help them when I run into a problem on openSUSE. I may be a noob, but I want to try and help those that are trying to help convert those lost like I still hanging on to Windows for their niche stuff.

    I've heard the right tool for the right job before. I just truly do love Linux, and want to only stay on there. :(

  • Yeah, stuff that is able to be taught is vital to have archives, but some Twitch streamer playing some MMO/shooter/scary game isn't what I would consider very imperative to get backed up. :P

  • It doesn't help that people put silly things onto the IA. I've seen some things like YouTube videos that really didn't need to be there (they have, objectively, nothing of value enough to warrant taking up space on these servers that could be used for more important materials..).

    Jump

  • Yes, going off of your reply, I can assume that the myriad programs that I run into that I might like to use are much much more niche in my case.

    Thank you for your reply! It is good to finally get some sense of what kind of stuff people on Linux only use. I am probably just a niche example, but it still sucks since I want to ONLY use Linux. :/

  • I can safely say that over 20 years of mainly Windows, I have never had any crashes or bugs. Ever.

    I was using the same install of Windows since 2017, up to 2021, without a single issue. Why I had to reinstall it was because of a foolish mistake on my part, late late at night, trying to install Linux on a spare SSD I had lying around thanks to a laptop was really struggling to do anything any longer. Again, this was my fault 100% as I didn't understand SDA/SDB/etc. I do now though!

    With Linux, there is always something that prevents me from using my computer in a manner that I would consider "normal". I mainly game. I use save editors, WeMod, and love to use mods on games that support it. I like how easy it is to set up my NAS, through Windows, without any extra fussing around in some config file somewhere. I like that I can just do what I'm planning to do with the computer that day, unlike in Linux where sometimes I can't even do something basic like set a jpg as a poster for a downloaded YouTube video on Plex that is all hosted on my NAS. On openSUSE, apparently I can't just do that. There is some arbitrary permissions issue preventing me from doing that, while on Windows, it just works.

    Sometimes I wonder what actual programs Linux permanents use on the daily. I truly find it hard to believe it is a lot of applications, because most of the applications I like/need to use, will not work on Linux through Wine/Bottles/Proton. Nor do they have a Linux alternative. It makes me sad, because I truly want to get off that OS, but the wide amount of things I like to do always get snagged up on something in Linux.

    All this to say that I absolutely fucking LOVE Linux, what it stands for, and the idea behind it. Just a counter argument, is all.

    P.S. I've been an on and off again Linux noob since at least 2010, and even today, I am still trying to make the move. It's just not as simple as the Linux evangelicals like to say it is.

  • Are there any USB cables that last a reasonable length of time?

    Jump

  • Anker. Still have cables I got in 2018. I’m not rough with my stuff though, so take it as you will.

  • Hustle culture

    Jump

  • This is a good point, and I understand it, but I too have financial burdens (doing every single thing by myself with absolutely no help from anyone because I have no family or friends) but even then, selling myself out will not ever be an option to me.

    I do things I like because they bring me peace. Doing it for monetary gain puts even more pressure on you, and then your few outlets of peace get caught up in the scheme, therefore you no longer have a healthy outlet.

    It's sad to see either way. Money is just a made up concept at this time, just like time is. It's imaginary.

    Life is too short. Just do what you can, and enjoy what little you can.

  • Hustle culture

    Jump

  • See, I hate money. I know it's important in the societies we have, but I would rather do something for myself or for someone because I could/wanted.

    The other day, I fixed a computer owned by a nice lady I work with. She offered to pay me and everything. I just told I like doing this stuff for the funsies.

    Selling yourself in this day and age has got to stop. You are more than an imaginary made up figure of commerce.

  • I've... never really understood why people always have to monetize themselves and their passions. It's very weird in my view.

  • So for someone who has a 2080ti, should I go with a 50 series card? If so, would anyone have a recommendation? I don’t need it right away by any means, as I’ll need to save up for an upgrade if I even can. I just know that I will need to replace it as newer games come out.

  • Thank you for this very in depth explanation. I see that it doesn't matter that I spent my money to own my product to do what I want with it. :/
