    Linux is so much better than sex.

    [–] [email protected] 119 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Can you compile sex from source? Ha, didn't think so!

    I compiled it for you :

    fred@ButtWarmer:~/Work/ZZ/sex-1.0> ./a.out   
    "Is that all?" croaked the nine-year-old cheerleader as the dribbling electric eel fucked her creamy chubbies and thrust his throbbing joy stick into her moist appendix scar.   
    fred@ButtWarmer:~/Work/ZZ/sex-1.0>
    

    It is pretty bad.

    Can you freely modify and distribute sex? Not that I know of!

    Charging money is actually illegal in most parts of the world

    Nobody using Windows is sad about this like the meme suggests however. Literally no one is "team windows" lol

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Nobody is actively team windows, but they immediately become team windows as soon as you suggest they try Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Maybe because people just don't care for unsolicited "advice" from Linux nerds?

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

    Yeah, I'm a full-time Linux user but there are a lot of people who just seem to use Linux as a replacement for a personality and it's fucking awful.

    Not limited to just Linux, obvs, but it's the topic de jure.

    No, there has to be a different reason women won't talk to me

    Why would Windows users be crying. Most users have ambivalence/hate relationship with it.

    It's too bad the native Linux versions of old id Tech 0/1/2/3/4 games aren't being posted on Steam.

    And worse, for the old id Tech 0/1 games it's not even the Windows version, nor a native emulator, it's running the DOS version in the Windows version of DOSBox in Proton.

    Although now I notice this is actually a remake, not the id Tech 1 original.

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (3 children)

    You do know gzdoom exists, right? You can play old id games and games based on the doom engine natively by purchasing them and running the .wad file through gzdoom.

    I thought proton is an email/vpn company, do they have a gaming client like steam?

    [–] [email protected] 76 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    This proton isn't affiliated with the one you're talking about. Proton is a tool that valve developed based on wine that lets windows games run on Linux, especially the steamdeck

    https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (8 children)

    I wish you answer me one more question. I bought games on steam that later found they're "Windows only". I can't play these games on the steam I installed on my linux pc. I can only play them on the steam of my windows pc.

    Can I play them on linux using Proton? If yes, then this might allow me remove windows from my life completely

    [–] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago

    Click Properties, then Compatibility. Select a Proton version from the menu. It should allow your games to run.

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

    Steam → Settings → Compatibility → Steam Play → Enable Steam Play for supported titles & Enable Steam Play for all other titles

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yes you can, on Linux steam, go to the game's properties, then click on the compatibility tab, and finally check the"force the use of..." Line. You should then be able to install the windows game on Linux and play it using the proton tool automatically

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

    If you can't find that tab, it could also be because you need to go to steam settings and enable steam play for all titles (which will let you use Proton with any game)

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Search for the game you're looking to run on this site: https://www.protondb.com/

    If it runs, you'll find reports on what it took to make it happen, if anything, and how well it runs

    Look the games up in protondb for user experiences. Also Proton is not a Garantie. I have a great experience with proton and steam deck is running with proton, so valve makes money with proton and improve it daily. But it is NOT A SURE THING.

    Again great tool, but it has a limit. E.g. valorant doesn't run.

    My favourite game Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation works again. Ciao!

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (12 children)

    Um, I tried Mint for gaming and while the community is strong on helping me figure out what was wrong with my video drivers and my Logitech steering wheel, i realized I could just not run Linux and spend the time actually playing my working game on Windows.

    I'm not a Windows fanboy. The majority of people just want a turn key experience. Linux(for now) is not yet a trouble free experience.

    It would be more relevant if the cap had the apple logo.
