Nice, thanks for that.

It’s amazing how this is demonized in American culture. Really makes one think.

Now, to get rid of the 2 party system…

I agree. I still think regular peiple would view that as “the government stealing their property” though. For example i know a few people who buy places and fix them up to rent out. Are you saying they should get their properties taken away?

If you’re only referring to billionaires and corporations buying housing, i agree. But if any laws were put into place, we know how it always goes, it would only affect those regular Joe’s renting properties, and theyd further hate the government for too much regulation. I see no way to possibly stop the rich from buying all housing.

Maybe this is a good place to ask this, as I always think about it. I am all in favor of abolishing this nightmare of late stage capitalism and coporate ownership of government. However, how do you explain that any other form wont take away from those of us who are (admittedly lucky) home/land owners, that actually are sitting fine ? Those people don’t want to give up what they have so someone in an apartment can have more. Think of it this way: you have an acre of land you worked for, it wasn’t given. Someone else has a 2 bedroom apartment they also worked for. For reason (either laziness, or unfortunately events) the apartment owner can’t save enough for a house/land. Maybe their mental capability is maxed out (be honest, we know people like this) and they can’t get more schooling etc. Under a socialist system, it seems like anyone with their house/land would be forced to give it up and live in blocs of apartments, which no one I know actually wants. This is just one example. But it’s something that I feel like will always hold the US back from socialism, because those that currently have “the dream” don’t want it to be taken. Now, people living in shacks that vote for Musk because the immigrants will take their jerbs, those people are idiots. But I’m talking about people who work full time and are decently well off, probably have a decent amount in stocks etc. Those people don’t want corporations destroying us, but they also don’t want full socialism.

Totally would have!

Actual Hank Hill moment.

How did you get AC to run?? I’ve tried every proton instance and proton ge, it will not launch at all. And I haven’t even started trying to get content manager working which seems pretty hard.

Thank you! Maybe I need bottles. I have wine, and proton.

Ill have to try again! I thought anti cheat borked it

Amd fx 8 core cpu and rx580… really shouldnt be any issues. Never had Nvidia.

I should have specified, gtav online doesn’t work.

You’re lucky! I’ll keep tinkering. Still going to have to upgrade to 11 soon to keep using my wheel and playing any vr or pubg though. Someday!

I must play different games than most on linux, because so far I’ve had issues with

-Assetto corsa -iRacing -Automobilista 2 -Lego racers -(Obviously pubg and gtav are a no go, as well as lethal company) -Diabolical

More than I’m forgetting. Agreed proton helps but it’s still way too glitchy to be daily used by me. Its fine to tinker but trying to get any games working while your friends wait on you is just a pain. Especially in any game with mods.

I wish it was as easy as people say! It is fun once something gets working though, feels like a huge accomplishment on linux if a game even starts up for me. I’d love to leave windows behind but I don’t see it happening soon.

Do the dual boot and test it. For now, it’s mint when I want to tinker and be happy 1 game out of 300 works, and windows when I want to actually play any games.

It’s true they’re easier in a way, but there will be bugs. For example i thought lego racer would be easy. Indeo codes crashed the game instantly. Had to search for a fix. Now intro video loads but very choppy, and the menu only has sound and the screen goes black. All amd hardware too, on mint. Unless you like to tinker a lot, just dual boot for now.

Wonderful, hopefully I can get this working!

I just wasn’t sure fedora based (bazzite) would be as easy to troubleshoot as mint (Debian based) since arguably debian/Ubuntu are the most popular distro.

Doesn’t gnome have that sticky app?

I’m still gonna have to dual boot for the foreseeable future, but I force myself to usually boot mint unless I want to play any vr/multiplayer/racing games (which is often, unfortunately). But I do really enjoy how much you can do in linux and learning it.

Yep seems common among that age

Bazzite refused to boot for me…I stuck with mint as it’s always ran pretty good. Old amd fx 8 core and a Radeon rx580

I’ve been hard at trying to get games i like to work in mint. It takes a lit of time but it’s going ok. Like you said though kind of sucks for multi-player. I can’t even get diabolical multi-player to work (after I looked up how to fix the instant crashing audio driver issue) . It’s also a lot of qork getting any racing game to work with my DFGT…even though linux does see the axis and buttons, the force feedback is all messed up. Wish I knew how to code so I could fix these issues! But I don’t have 12 hours a day to ever learn that

Yet my libertarian centrist friend INSISTS that AI is great for humanity. I keep telling him the billionaires don’t give a fuck about you and he keeps licking boots. How many others are like this??
