If there's any new Lemmy users here, coming from Reddit (feel like I'm opening a seance), and if you're wondering what else you might decide to change during this era of change -
Try Linux! It's easy now, and frankly just better :)
If ur new to Linux try mint. Dont try arch or gentoo or some other distro cos someone said it was cool. Take the basic Linux mint and get urself comfortable with it first.
Fedora is pretty nice too.
I came 1.5 years ago when reddit fucked up big. Read about Linux here a lot, but not engaged much with it. But since I can't make the switch to Windows 11 I tryed out Linux Mint two weeks ago. Haven't booted into Windows since then, but for one game i have to start using a mod Manager and that won't run in Linux. Every other game I play, even with mods, works just fine. It's fucking cool. And it's so damn nice that I can decide exactly how it looks and feels. So, thanks for that Lemmy.
May I ask what game?
Total War Warhammer 3
The problem is that I play it exclusively in Multiplayer and my buddy and me have to start it with the same mods and trough the same mod manager. I get the manager to run using wine or bottles, but I I can't click the play game button.
So, for now at least, double boot it is.
Sounds like a nuisance to get working so I don't blame you for dual booting but it sounds it probably doesn't know how to find the location of the binary it should be running.
Maybe I'll figure it out further down the line, put after two weeks I don't even know what you are talking about right now :-)
Yes, I'm new to Lemmy, ex-Reddit, and now I'm looking at what else I can do. I ran Linux Mint on an old laptop for many years, but that was when I was still working and I also had a company laptop on Windows if I needed it. So now I'm retired and currently I only have a refurbished Lenovo with Win 10, which goes out of support soon. I suppose I could do dual boot on that machine, but I'd rather have Windows in a VM for the rare occasions when I can't get something to run in Wine. I have no idea where I'd buy a copy of Win 11, but presumably Microsoft have a store.
I think Lenovos are kinda renowned as good candidates for Linux laptops, though I'm not knowledgeable enough to talk models and such. Go for it!
