Phone is Android, PC is now Linux Mint, for gaming I use a Steam deck, and my NAS is now TrueNAS.

I love to see it.

Each time I see posts like this, I hope to see adobe announce they are making linux versions of their software. Whether you like it or not, a lot of people do not switch because of adobe.

Can't you run it through Proton or Wine tricks at this point?

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

Nope, it will install but then say dlls are missing even though they are there.

God I wish someone would port AHK to linux. I literally depend on it to make software accessible.

I finally made the switch recently. Been dual booting for a while. I use arch on my laptop for fun and Linux Mint Debian Edition on my desktop for stability.

I hope you enjoy your time here in Linux land.

[–] lambda@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

Thanks. I've been running Linux servers for over 5 years and a few Linux laptops for 2-3 years. I just never moved my gaming PC over. I was like the third wave of Steam Deck owners. That proved to me that gaming on Linux is possible now. I just give up on any game that has kernel level anti-cheat for now. But, the amount of cheaters pulled me from most of those games a while ago...

I am one of the 0.05% on Debian. I feel special.

[–] Spider89@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Same

[–] raptore39@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

I wonder where my Steam on Fedora 42 KDE lands

[–] UsedCumSock@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

This is great news. Gives me hope that one day, I'll be able to play all of my games on Linux.

Now I wish we could permanently move from Android for all Android devices to something like lineage.
