minus-squareYodaDaCoda@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoI tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday. The keyboard wasn’t recognised. The fucking keyboard. Apparently it’s fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they’re all using the earlier LTS
minus-squareDreitonLullaby@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-27 months agoTruly Truly, I say unto you, install Linux; it’s what you really must do. https://linuxmint.com/
minus-squareGlitchZero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoI have a few games that don’t run on Steam. How big of a pain is it to get them running? This is like 50-70% of my PC usage.
minus-squarelukstru@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoYou can search on e.g. Lutris if the game is supported. It’s usually just a one button install
minus-squareGlitchZero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoThanks. Looks like it’s all Wine wrappers. 🫤
minus-squarenolight@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoIt is not uncommon to find “Wine wrappers” to actually work better than on Windows itself.
minus-squareaveryfalken@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoFairly easy with something like lutris or the heroic game launcher if said games are on gig amazon gaming or epic
minus-squareGlitchZero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoNo, they have their own launchers.
minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoRight, right. Smh Onenote, publisher, CAD. Excel (and don’t give me open/libre can do it, no they can’t. They are marginally compatible). And a laundry list more of the issues trying to replace windows with Linux on the desktop. If you work by yourself and don’t share docs, yea, could probably work. I need to trust that what I send is what people see. Try to open an excel workbook with tables on open/libre and see what happens.
