If you install Linux first and then Windows on the same drive, it will fuck up your bootloader.
You can easily make Grub boot Windows, so just overwrite whatever fuckup Windows made, or install Windows first.
It won’t happen with a simple update, though, that’s for sure. Maybe if you’re upgrading Windows to a new major release.
Did we just collectively travel 15 years back in time?
I just have pack and extract functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.
Wrote them 10 years ago and they’ve worked flawlessly ever since!
Compared to almost all other distros, Arch is advanced in the way that it’s the simplest of them all. Nothing except the very basics are set up for you, so it’s tough to start with.
Proton is just Valve’s fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.
Wine isn’t meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It’s just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.
Proton and Wine are largely the same thing. Proton just has DXVK built in as well as a bunch of Valve-made patches.
Valve had greatly accelerated Wine development. I still run many games off pure Wine with manually added DXVK.
If that’s what they want, they chose the wrong distro.
I used to just check WineHQ and if it has Gold or above, you can definitely make it run
Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It’s been discounted down to like 3€ a few times
It’s not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn’t get hooked. With BG3 however, I’m at 60 hours and I can’t put it down
It takes 5 minutes to install Arch manually so why even bother using scripts?
In that case I think it’s mostly fine
It’s legal to spy on your employees in USA?
I’m beginning to think all their tinfoil conspiracy theories aren’t completely baseless…
What do you mean by “the user’s DNS” exactly??
Show me some proof of any significant performance gain from these configuration changes, then. You also forgot to mention running Zen kernel as well, which might actually provide some benefits.
Nvidia are notorious for releasing broken Linux drivers… You probably won’t notice this unless you actually update frequently. Arch is bleeding edge so they often fly right through without much testing.
I upgraded my 2600K to a 6600K and it felt like a 5x increase across the board. Same when I upgraded that to Ryzen 7 5800X
All in all, a whopping 1-2% increase. Yay!
I’ve been using Arch for over a decade, and I would advise you to be careful when upgrading nvidia drivers. They just break every so often. Just do not delete your pacman cache and you should be able to easily downgrade
No, and I’m not siding with them, but selling ads and anonymous information you agreed to share doesn’t automatically make them evil
No chance they will block out the entire EU market. They will probably just do the same as everyone else and make a specific EU policy.
Actually I think Meta Threads is still not available in EU for the same reasons.
