I keep a win10 virtual box available when I need excel while in Mint. Otherwise I’m good. Have win10 set as dual boot but switched main boot to Mint once I got used to it.
I can also say the past month or two rocking Mint have been a breath of fresh air, everything feels fast and I’ve only had one GOG game not run (think I could with some effort) :)
Even the Unity game engine works, and debugs, it’s lightyears ahead of my previous goes at Mint over the years (and they only “ended” because of needing music software for college and uni!)
Hope it continues to treat you well! Also you may wish to indulge in the greatest Linux feature I know, which is Wobbly Windows - it makes your windows wobbly when dragged, which is very enjoyable for reasons I am not sure of! :)
Ferret-legging was an endurance test or stunt in which ferrets were trapped in trousers worn by a participant. Also known as put 'em down[2] and ferret-down-trousers,[3] it seems to have been popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England. Contestants put live ferrets inside their trousers; the winner is the one who is the last to release the animals.
This is actually pretty important to being able to solve engineering problems in the real world. Invariably, every little sub industry has its own cursed unit system. And dimensional analysis is great for solving real problems on its own.
And if you get to a high enough physics level, they start setting hbar = c = 1 or G = c = 1, and you never have to worry about it again.
I’m the mean time, it’s worthwhile to learn the trick to do this stuff fast-ish.
I pay for Ghost Recon Wildlands. I play the game a lot, rack up hundreds of hours. I go to a location that doesn’t have internet access available and am told I need to go online to play single player campaign. Ubisoft Connect says I need to be online to play the game. Try putting it into Offline mode and it still says I need to be online to activate a game I have paid for years ago and put hundreds of hours into. I use my shitty mobile phone 2G whatever speed to email Ubisoft support about the issue. Ubisoft support tells me to put the Ubisoft client into offline mode.
…do you know who doesn’t have this issue? People who pirate the game.
If I ever play another Ubisoft game, it will be pirated.
I still remember the headache from trying out the Nintendo Virtual boy at Toys R Us for just a few minutes.
Sonic the Hedgehog’s impossibly sparkly invincibility, with the show-off music that sped up to show off that there wasn’t any lag at all from the particle effect graphic. Really everything about Sonic when he first arrived. That’s the best 16 bits ever looked and sounded… Except…
Star Fox. See the other post about Star Fox 64. Star Fox (original) felt the same. Nothing before it looked or played that way. (No offense to Stellar 7’s many previous attempts.)
Ok, what is my solution then? Right now, the only thing I know is that when ever I try to run anything in Linux that requires Vulkan, it defaults to Lavapipe instead of using my GPU and if I try to disable Lavapipe, it acts like Vulkan isn’t installed.
