From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How much is the speed drop from translation using Proton? Is it so big or just small? Hows the performance of cartoonish Windows only games? And whats your hardware and how much is the price? I'm sorry but I cannot test it myself because I'm still on my mobile. Can you also tell about how many games are compatible with Proton? What about non-popular games?

Most games I just click play and they run.

Ryzen 9 x3D, XFX Radeon 9700 XT, 32 GBs RAM, with some flavor of MSI mobo I am too lazy to get the box out to look at.

It took me like a year to build as I was saving for all the parts (and the everything crisis began, at the time called the RAMpocalypse). I think it was around 3K to build then including the 2TB M.2

I'm never going back.

Just want to add that this is generally not a good idea. Because by the time you finish, your earliest parts are already a year old, and chances are you could have purchased something with a better value if you just waited.

Oh believe me, it happened lmao

I wasn't suggesting it didn't.

Wow cool rig.👍😎
That's basically double up overall compared to mine. 😋
I have Ryzen 7, Radeon 6600 XT, 16 GB Ram, 1 TB SSD.

PS:
Didn't AMD change the naming scheme on the Radeon 9000 series so it's 9070? AFAIK a 9700 is technically a board dating back to 2003.

R9700 is a workstation card.

EDIT: They said XT, so you’re right they probably mean 9070.

To Linux or Windows? But why?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 2 points 2 days ago

To windows. Linux is just a far better user experience at this point.
