Exactly. I installed Pop OS and I fucking loved it!
...Up to the point where playing games without Steam and being able to stably & reliably access my NAS through the local network is at best a pain in the ass to achieve let alone maintain, if not impossible.
(And yes I did use Lutris for the former. Couldn't even fucking get Dragon Age: Origins up and running.)
I still really miss Linux but if it's not gonna work for the two things I use a PC for the most, then hey what can a girl do? Lol.
My reaction exactly (pretty much) except yeah it wouldn't even launch. It was the weirdest fucking thing ever. Maybe it was because I wasn't installing it through Steam. I was running the GOG release and installing it through Lutris.
The model is QNAP TS-453D, and all I wanted to do was access it via the file manager via the local network. Just like I would in Windows by going to Network in the sidebar.
I also have a QNAP and I have no problem mounting the SMB shares into a folder in the filesystem. If you ever want to try again, feel free to touch base with me and I'll share my config.
That being said, why would you have to use SMB. I thought that was only for when a machine you need to access through the local network is a Windows machine.
I do use SMB as my network has a mix of Linux and Windows machines, so it's easier for me to just admin one single protocol, and SMB works pretty well with both, after a little fine-tuning.
Gog repacks usually work better than original games. ,what's ur videocard? Usually game not start in case if driver not installed or it's installed but it's too new for ur videocard it's related to proprietary driver of nvidia.
