Dorkness Rising is their second movie, and it makes a lot of references and throwbacks to the first.

Couldn’t they have gone the other route and made the villain’s plans a year later? But sounds like it was a lot of fun the way it was run!

I had switched over to Linux last year for the same concern of Win 10 reaching end of support. I wanted to switch over while I still had time to switch back (even if temporarily) of something went wrong.

I’d highly suggest start dual-booting or load Linux on an older system to get used to using it as a daily driver now rather than waiting until you don’t have the same choice.

Honestly, this is 100% the solution for this problem, especially for sharing with a child.

Now, the issue of having a “license” and rights to play a game, vs actually owning the game is still a valid point of contention.

The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.

If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.

Ventrilo would like a word as well

If you were a non-steam gamer you’d have a little extra work cut out for you, but steam literally runs natively

.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time

Until this comment, I legit thought they meant “is Hunt: Showdown ready or not on Linux”. I wish putting quotes or using italics on titles was more common

Try uninstalling Steam (or keeping track of which one was already installed), and trying one of these methods. It was over a year ago I last did this, so I don’t 100% remember which version I ended up using but believe it was the Flatpak version that worked best.

For graphics drivers updating, MintOS has a GUI interface for managing drivers which is actually pretty nice. Try searching for Driver Manager in your system utilities. Other than that, you can manually download official AMD drivers from them directly here. I’d recommend looking into that process for Linux a little more before going that route, as there are a few CLI commands you’ll have to use.

As for updating anything, yes it will mostly be done the same way you installed in the first place if you used the CLI. Try the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Which version of Steam did you install? I think that’s a quirky one where the Flatpak version works better in some cases, but check out the native if you’re already running the Flatpak version (there are pros and cons to each).

9070 XT is new enough that driver issues aren’t surprising. Periodically check in for updates drivers, more than you would usually.

I recently played through Cyberpunk without any compatibility layers and it worked flawlessly, and I’ve played Hitman:WoA (I know a different game/version, but closest I had) using only the Proton compatibility. (It runs native, but has some menu issues.)

I bring these up because I was running into similar issues as yours at first when I switched to Linux, and it was all caused by the Steam version I had installed. I switched that, and everything else fell into place.

Best of luck!

In addition to this, non-competative online games generally are safer. Look into the individual games you’re interested in, but something like WoW or FFXIV should still work fine, Last Epoch or PoE2 work.

Stuff like Lethal Company (Platinum) or Rust (Bronze) are more case by case, depending on the anticheat they use, and even then it’s often a matter of whether the developers include support or not.

Space Marine 2 uses an anticheat, but they have support enabled for Linux (though they removed it in one of the patches, before reimplementing it).

(Also a slight pet peeve to OP, it’s “right off the bat”)

No job is safe from AI or robotic automation. They might not be able to do it well, but that won’t stop greedy and/or cheap businesses from trying.
