Debian for Linux gaming?
  • From your other comments you seem to have a system simmilar to mine. I use mint, and i'm very happy with it, feature rich and ubuntu based, without the features you dislike like snap.

    Only real step requirs for gaming has been installing some overclocking and heat management stuff like corecntrl, as well as some 32 bit archetecture stuff to run steam.

  • My understanding is that there are modules you can install to AD join a linux machine, i don't know much about it unfortunatly because it's not something i've ever had to do. I'm also unclear whether there is a different process per distro type.

    I would speak to your company IT about it tbh.

  • What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?
  • It's not so much about you as an individual, it's about catalogueing and manipulating trends in our societies that can be used to make profit, for example Meta spends a lot of money and time manipulating election outcomes in favour candidates that will keep their taxes low through manipulating their content algorythm in favour of their desired candidates.

  • Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase?
  • It's not a deterant against suicide, it's to stop suicidal people taking out life insurance to give their loved ones a pay off before they top themselves.

    Insurance is a bet between Client and Insurer that the client will pay more in before the insurer has to pay out.

  • All games using a proton version higher than 5 are failing to launch
  • Ok so I've fixed it, appears to have been an issue with the tool having come from my backup rather than installed directly.

    couldn't uninstall due to "missing shared content" so i deleted the file and verified integrity so it downloaded them - everything is now running perfectly, tried a few different games and they are working great.

    cheers for all the help!

  • All games using a proton version higher than 5 are failing to launch

    Hi All,

    Been bashing my head against this one, rebuild my OS yesterday, running linux mint and reinstalled steam, but can't get anything to run on a proton version higher than 5 - i'm sure i'm missing something but don't know what.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64 Kernel: 6.2.0-31-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 5500/5500M

    Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?
  • I support a large number of windows servers, and the answer is it largely depends on what i'm doing, like if i'm doing a file restore i find navigating folder structures a pain in the ass from a CLI, so i'll just use GUI.

    If i'm doing something a bit more complicated like running AD reports, easier to just use powershell.

  • Rimworld tips and tricks

    Thought it would be great to have a wee thread looking at tips and tricks we use when playing the game.

    For example, Cactii have the best wood per growth ratio of any farmable tree, making them the most productive forestry.
