  • Most things work great out of the box these days. If you do your gaming through Steam already then it’s the easiest it could be. Otherwise you can download some other platform like Lutris to manage your compatibility for you

    There are definite exceptions though. There’s this great website ProtonDB that tells you how compatible games are if you want to look before you leap.

    Kernel-level anticheat can make some games unplayable on Linux. Basically, it’s intended to detect cheaters, but it gives false positives on Linux. On the flip side, the software is super invasive, like once you’re aware of how it works it will make you wonder why anybody would allow that shit on their computer. Probably because they don’t know any better, but still. This is more of a problem with high budget PvP games like Call of Duty, so depending on your taste you may never encounter it

    Hardware for the most part seems to just work through plug and play. However, if your stuff is highly customizable through software - like Razer Synapse/Chroma/whatever they call it these days - you may not have access to all the features.

    Most Linux installers give you the option to just try out the OS in a non-permanent environment. So you could find a distro that appeals to you and then give it a test run without comitting to a full installation. It’d be a good way to see if there’s any hardware or compatibility issues.

    If you have an Intel/Nvidia rig and are thinking about gaming, I recommend pop_os! I’ve been using it for a few years now and I have no complaints.



  • I used to think the Chads I work with made more work for me. Now I realise the Chads already figured out that the job is bogus and you get paid the same either way

    Management is always running a skeleton crew. If everyone gave 110% then that would become the new target. Worse, they’d make 120% the new target and lay someone else off

    Giving a solid 60% is enough for my boss to think I’m doing a decent job while not screwing my coworkers. In a crisis, you can turn it up to 80% and suddenly you’re a rockstar

    Everyone should be acting their wage. We need more Chads in the workforce to remind management what they should actually expect of their staff
