I’m pretty sure Microsoft will be developing software emulation layer for Windows ARM, so it can support backwards compatibility on as many kinds of ARM processors as possible. But since Snapdragon is only claiming that this works on the X Elite, it’s either a matter of performance, or hardware restrictions?

To be fair, except for GOG, none of the games bought on digital stores are ever really yours. See the recent debacle about The Crew.

git: 'go' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is

If you’re willing to upgrade the SSD, the case and the screen, I don’t think it makes sense to choose the SD, but that’s one of the advantages of it - talk about hardware of software, it’s pretty much as open. The main advantage that remains is arguably Steam OS, but even then is it impossible to run it on an Ally?

If you’re willing to pay that price, you may as well buy a ROG Ally, but as far as I’m concerned, I’m very happy with the SD as it is.

Have you tried logging into other instances?

The internet isn’t evil, it helped propagate the age of information towards a global, permanently interconnected network. I’m not sure any invention impacted humanity as greatly as that since the transistor. With that new era, data became a new currency and some companies obviously take badly advantage of that, but I fail to see how the internet might be inherently evil. What motivated that opinion?

Jerboa isn’t very smooth, whatever your device.

Sounds like an internet problem to me. Why would a game work better than another in streaming when the source runs as well?

I don’t know how kombucha might be “good” for type 2 diabetics. The test sample in this study was of 12 people, I don’t think any conclusion can be drawn yet.

Either OP meant something similar for the main feed, or didn’t look carefully enough (I suspect the second one). Though I feel like invoking mental health concerns for this kind of stuff seems a bit dramatic.

I’m a software dev, so I’m already quite used to using the terminal routinely. My current plan is to reconsider if I see an interesting enough NVMe sale - and there are constantly a few these days, so I just might, in the next few weeks.

After all the advice I’ve been getting thanks to this thread, it appears that I would almost be among the best candidates to switch: I mostly play single player games, nothing with anti-cheat and no VR, I’m having heavy doubts that I still need anything Windows-centric. The main downside I still see is the performance hog with an Nvidia GPU.

I see no reason to use Matlab in education nowadays: both Octave and Python provide as many features, are as easy to use, and free. The teacher could have verified or made his class accessible through Octave with minimal effort, as OP pointed out. But they wouldn’t be bothered and required all the students in their class to buy a 70€ license each.

Thank you for the recommendations! I don’t mind having some proprietary blobs here and there - as you pointed out, with Steam and the games I was going to run on it, it’s basically necessary anyway, especially with a NVIDIA GPU. However…

I strongly encourage just keeping a 1 or 2 TB drive for Windows, depending on what you play.

All in all, that, the drivers being a bit behind on NVIDIA and the few annoyances that happen with external devices (like you pointed out, with a 3rd party controller) are unfortunately exactly the reasons I might not to switch just yet: while it seems to be more convenient to go full Linux for a few things here and there, but if I am going to need Windows, should I really bother keeping both installations? I’d have to buy a new, larger NVMe because my system doesn’t support that for now, reinstall everything anyway… And so far, I’ve been able to do everything I need without needing two parallel systems.

That’s another option, but my current build doesn’t have room for another drive, M2 or otherwise. So I could buy a new, larger M2 and partition it but I don’t really want to have to setup both systems again already.

Wasn’t the first one released one year or two ago? Couldn’t they push this as a DLC or a large expansion pack? What’s the upside of making another one?

All in all it depends on you. Arch isn’t that big of a deal if you can read and are willing to put a bit of an effort to it and its strenghts justify that for the vast crowd using it.

I can read doc an put that bit of effort if necessary - the eternal question is, do I really want to project myself to do that on a daily basis?

It seems to be, at least! I’ve been meaning to switch from Ubuntu to Pop! OS on my work laptop but I can’t justify to take that time at the moment.

Good to know! Which version of Solus are you using? Although it doesn’t seem to really matter as I don’t think any of them are really dedicated to gaming.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll take a look, that’s also the kind of information that is extremely relevant regarding a full switch.

Btw, do you know if there are any DX12 features still missing from Proton/DXVK?

Newer games might not be optimized for Linux in the first place

Thanks to the success of the SD, I believe many developers have started testing and optimizing their games for Proton, which I also account for when I’m talking about “optimized for Linux”.

Noted for the rolling releases! Don’t rolling releases necessarily bring the risk of unstabilities as well? There’s often a balance which might be hard to find between features and stability.
