    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    I just installed KDE Neon instead. Pretty sexy, but getting used to not using apt was a little something else.

    I did a little research on the floating docks. Turns out I need 5.25.x to have the option, which is why I couldn't find it. Only 5.24.7 is available on my Mint 21.3 distro. Oh well. Latte dock for now!

    Antivirus - still a thing?

    I use whatever windows gives me. I haven't used an AV in decades.

    I only used Wayland once on XFCE to give it a try as it was suggested to solve a battle net black screen issue I had, and it did. I don't have the problem on KDE so I won't bother with Wayland on that.

    Yeah Cool! I'll try after I'm done this raid ;)

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Turns out I have KDE 5.xx, not 6. I couldn't really find any information about using it on mint. Using Latte dock now on Mint 21.3 with KDE5. Usually I can choose Wayland when I pick a DE at the login screen, but with plasma I don't get the Wayland option, so no harm no foul.

    I decided to download latte dock. Probably fairly similar.

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Currently sitting on 12 eth. From the good old mining days.

    hijack, how do you put your icons at the bottom centre like that? Probably something easy I am missing. Using KDE6 plasma right now and I think its amazing. Big change form cinnamon that came default on Mint. I generally run XFCE, but even this beats it. imo.

    Good jokes, but I can't follow your posts at all. I won't fault you, as English doesn't appear to be your primary language. Be safe out there.

    The last day of this thread makes my head hurt.

    You aren't faffing NOW, but I'm sure you were at the beginning. As someone who flops between windows and Linux periodically, I have to configure tons more in Linux after installation than windows. I'm not against Linux, but the fanboys love to claim "it's so simple! I use it every day!". Yeah...

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Which is why I said "most companies". Is there merit to this? That any random person out there can compile their own kernel and get past cheat protection software?

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    The company actively didn't support it was my point. There are numerous ports throughout the years for other games via emulation and cracks within windows, so of course there are ways out there to make things work, but to not support it vocally and THEN actively prevent it is a weird one. To...

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Even before this current change it was never supported. There's the issue in itself. Secondary to that if the discussion on WHY a company would go out of their way to add code to prevent Linux from working. There has to be an end game point to spend money and programmers time on preventing...

    /noob question I am running Wayland on xfce... Is KDE just an xfce alternate?

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    I guess I've just never cared who the owners or CEOs of these companies are. If the game is cheaper on a different platform, that's where I buy it. I feel no requirement to choose one company over another because of tweets. I agree with the dopamine comment, though. I don't particularly feel...

    EGS gives away tons of games throughout the year. I have way more there than Steam, all free over the years.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Whether you "shed a tear" or not, it's a game that has half a billion users worldwide. Any game that has that fanbase and will not work under Linux is an issue. Your anecdotal evidence of "my games work" if a poor take when we are in a thread about Linux adoption.

    Cesspool or not, most things with Epics anti-chest type software won't run in Linux. Not too much lost, but anti-cheat will hold Linux gaming back more than most reasons.

    I had no Roblox luck, only Roblox studio. Roblox is definitely a cesspool, but I've explained to my kids the dangers of the online world. At least I feel I have to ab adequate degree. I make them watch Sound of Freedom, telling them that's a real situation and they would never see us again...

    Any Linux gaming experts willing to answer a n00b question?

    I have an i7 13700, 4070 laptop and it ran Mint well. No issues with drivers or the games I tried. Anecdotal, of course. Enjoy!

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Hijack.... So, my laptop has become basically a WoW machine these days and my kids are done caring about games like Fortnite and Roblox, which were the two keeping me in windows, as they use cheat protection that breaks in Linux. That said, is WoW pretty solid? I tried it last time, iirc, and...

    Son is new to gaming *Help*

    $700 is overpriced that that system, even in Canada I wouldn't spend $700 Canuck bucks. That system would easily play the games mentioned, though. I haven't played beanNG, but the other two my kids ran on a secondary system with an AMD APU (3200g) without issue. Any discrete card will make it...

    That's as cliffs as it gets. You get rewarded XYZ for work. Soon you will receive half as much for the same work. Done. The price is going up because it will now be harder to obtain via hardware. Harder to get = worth more.

    7900xtx or 4080 super?

    Suggesting a worse cards based on "Be Different™" is not advice. It's fanboy bullshit.

    7900xtx or 4080 super?

    Unfortunately, you're here in a thread to suggest a card for someone else. Your personal preference, suggesting a card that's WORSE, is counterproductive to the thread.

    7900xtx or 4080 super?

    I am sorta confused here. If both cards, outside of RT are the same, why wouldn't you buy the similar priced card that also offers an extra feature? It seems you are suggesting AMD just "to buy something different". Seems counterproductive to buy a GPU, similarly priced, with less features...

    Exactly this. We do this to prevent extension cables from disconnecting at work.

    3080ti to 7900xtx

    I've never done any of the DDU cleanup stuff, but others swear by it. I would uninstall the Nvidia drivers and move on.

    New NVIDIA control panel now in beta

    One of the WORST programs out there. Beyond irritating. Shame I need it to adjust the 1200dpi setting to 1000. Otherwise I wouldn't install it. On topic: I always smirk when I reformat and install Nvidia drivers and that old control panel opens up. I seem to remember it in the tnt2 days, but...

    Pat Gelsinger — Intel Foundry aims to build chips for all (including AMD's Lisa Su)

    They can still be in the rear view mirror while Intel makes their chips. Money is king. Edit: I should mention, before my inbox is flooded like that time, that I'm not saying Intel is ahead or AMD is behind, I'm simply saying that it would be stupid for Intel to not make their chips, no matter...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    You and I both. I wish game companies would make the binaries for Linux so badly. I don't know the complexity of it, but I would think with windows and Linux both supporting OpenGL and Vulkan that they would be getting closer to being cross platform. I've wanted to switch for years, but...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    You know, you're something of a broken record. I've seen you say "this is the last windows I'll use" at least 10 times. Easily. Just install the new version, adapt, move on with life.

    Need some simple advice

    Yes. It's an open source version of g-sync. Your card supports it. Nvidia cards 10 series and higher also support it.
