We need Henry Cavill to put on a wig and to recreate the meme. I’m sure he would be up for it.

It’s not gonna be on protondb because it’s not a steam game my dude.

What I did to play it was to install heroic, then through heroic install battle.net, and via battlenet install HotS. Battlenet is opened via heroic, so everything running and being installed through battlenet will be installed in the same wine prefix (virtual windows space, if you will). And will work if launched via battlenet.

So basically, install Heroic, download the battlenet installer, add a new “game” in heroic, run the installer, open it. Once you have battlenet installed you can install blizzard games through there and open them through there without issues.

The issue here is that there are things like NVIDIA drivers that require rebuilding the kernel for legit reasons. If those kernels were already rebuilt and signed by the arch team, or somehow there was a way to know the signed version of the baseline kernel and list which utilities were added on top when recompiling the kernel, there would be a way to know for sure that there’s no fucking kernel level cheats, which would kill all the fucking kernel anti cheats running around.

But they prefer to bitch and moan and enforce total control instead.

Then… If you are not up to date with the stuff you shouldn’t be commenting on all of that as if it were current news. You did use past tense, but someone might miss that and just read all the stuff at face value. In any case I agree, and is better than NVIDIA currently even though most pain points are fixed. As I already wrote, I wouldn’t pick NVIDIA for a new Linux card, it’s just that having NVIDIA shouldn’t be a deterrent for windows people in the fence.

No one is advocating people getting a new NVIDIA card, did you misread my post? I’m claiming that already having NVIDIA isn’t a deterrent for a Linux swap. It really isn’t.

Let’s be honest, 15% of a performance cost IS working fine. It’s not flawless, but it’s still fine.

Secure boot, apparmor and all that stuff isn’t something to consider because anyone that invested in computers already has enough information that these discussions are moot. Let me repeat, I already made clear that I wouldn’t consider NVIDIA for a new Linux card.

About the artifacts and stuff, again, old stuff. For context, I’ve been playing Path of Exile 1&2, Grim Dawn, Spiderman 2 recently, MHRise, MHWilds (which was bullshit on both cards, on windows too), cyberpunk on the dlc release, and a bunch of pixel art games that aren’t worth mentioning since they could run on a toaster.

I’ve been playing games without caring for either and it again works fine. I run endeavourOS (arch) and update once a month-ish, some days before a game release. Just as I did with drivers in windows, it’s not such a big deal ffs. That perfect environment and right distro stuff is such an overblown thing, just get whatever and install the latest stuff, it will work fine unless the game dev is intentionally stupid nowadays.

Finally, the drivers being closed source is again moot because for a Windows->Linux transition, they aren’t really getting anything worse in terms of audits.

Maybe you missed the “I’d never buy a new NVIDIA card” thing and missed that the implication of my point was a windows to Linux transition? Idk, your response is very technically oriented.

There’s a reason you are talking in past tense. It works with new games and Wayland nowadays. Unless the game is inherently broken on windows and AMD cards too (hey, MHWilds, fuck you). In any case I wouldn’t buy a new NVIDIA card, but gatekeeping and fear mongering windows users with NVIDIA cards isn’t the play either. It works fine, not the best, but fine.

The post (not a meme) is about not being able to import odt into Pages, and the solution being having to first export to docx. Yeah they can just use libreoffice but that’s not the point.

The issue is that working with docx files in libreoffice is less ideal than working with their native format.

What other replies, almost all top comments are about arch being unreliable and the others are complaining about windows. The other replies support my claim bruh.

I have NVIDIA and I’ve had no issues with arch. There were the Wayland issues with how NVIDIA syncced frames and that being an issue but that’s not distro specific and arch had a fix faster than others via AUR sooo… 0 distro related issues in the 3 years already of using it.

It’s been years since I actually used Arch.

Yeah, as is everyone that makes memes about it. I wonder why no one that actively uses it memes about it hmm…

Maybe because shit don’t break anymore.
