    it's a swole doge vs cheems meme

    on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
    accompanied is a text that reads "Here's the information. What do you wish to do?"

    on crying cheems side, there's popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, "let's add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you."

    I tried dual booting for a while but eventually I just stopped using the Linux side. Didn't really have a reason to switch over when everything worked fine on Windows. Id just keep using windows after I used whatever software or game only worked on windows cause it was just more convenient. I did really like Linux and there were a lot of really cool things about it but until Linux reaches a point where all the big games, both on and off steam, work on Linux without having to follow some guide I just don't think it's for me.

    @WarlordSdocy @ExperimentalGuy

    I have the same and opposite issue.

    Part of the reason that I am always using #linux is because so much of my workflow these days requires Linux, that when I play something like a #bethesda game (modding them is just less of a hassle on Windows) it just feels wrong and uncomfortable.

    just asking have you tried teamtinkerlaunch with that mo2 and vortex work fine on linux i even get better performance with proton and it fixes my sound issues i had with skyrim on windows and you can do a windll override to fix the wanky mouse movements

    @nogrub

    No, I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip.

    Exact same thing here. Once I needed to reboot multiple times per day to use my computer I’m just angry and unhappy with the tool that’s no longer doing the job I need it to.

    Since the games I play are primarily windows only, I stuck with the side I spend most of my time in.

    [–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Ya that makes sense. I find a lot of my work is mostly stuff that's easier to use on Linux, like spinning up VMs or just programming in general. What programs do you use that aren't compatible or dont have an alternative on Linux?

    [–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It was mostly games (mainly Microsoft ones, no surprise there) and the fact that at the time I was going to college for game programming, so needed to use stuff like Unity and Unreal Engine. Which I think I saw with Unreal Engine you can make it work on Linux but you had to like compile it yourself and I didn't want to deal with running into problems with that since I was using it for my classes. Although now that I've graduated I might give it a try, see if anything has changed since I last gave Linux a shot. Just seems like in general a lot of game development stuff is done more on Windows unless you're not using a commercial engine.

    [–] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Omg yeah that makes sense. I have the same thing but with excel, one of my classes it's like a must have so I just pop open a VM to get it running bc I don't want to figure out how to wine it. I'm using PopOS rn and it's really easy to use and install drivers, so if you're gonna get back into a Linux distro I'd def recommend that.

    [–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Pop Os was actually what I used before funnily enough and yeah I found it really nice. Probably will try that again when I get the chance.
