  • I finally made the jump to Linux Mint yesterday on my gaming tower. ProtonDB and Steam deck support finally pulled me over the edge while Office 365 and Windows apparent path forward was pushing me to leave.

    Sea of Stars, Gloomhaven, and Peak installed, ran, and played with zero extra configuration. So I threw something more intense at it. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 runs like a champ, zero configuration. Doom the Dark Ages as well.

    Now to throw some curveballs. I’m playing through Subnautica with my buddy because I’m a coward who can’t do it alone. The new version of Nitrox, the multiplayer mod, installed and ran just as simply as on windows. THIS was the final straw that let me upgrade as Nitrox only updated to support Linux a week or 2 ago.

    Elden Ring’s Seamless Coop (yeah, I play single player games with friends to make it easier, bite me) is technically the only thing I even had the slightest problem with. But after adding the launcher to steam, I just had to tell it to use the latest proton and the problem was gone as fast as it showed up.

    I’m hesitant to say “I should have jumped to Linux a long time ago” because I know it hasn’t been an easy road getting here… But damn, we’re in a good place now!









  • I was leaving my grocery store when I saw a person calling for people to sign petitions. They had a variety of things to sign from lowering property taxes to “ensure pedophiles are jailed for at least 80% of their sentence length before opportunity of parole.” Republicans at the time were throwing the word around in relation to the LGBTQ. The core idea of this post clicked so hard in my head I think my wife heard it.
