Lutris should handle that. Its requires some tinkering as it works differently.
It seems it's just a platform that I can run games on, and I need to find a cracked version of the game by myself, right? Do I need to look for a Linux-specific cracked version? Sorry for the dumb questions.
No it's running Windows game on Linux so cracked versions work just as well. Don't ask how I know that..
Oh that's spicy thanks!
I'm going to be migrating to Linux and using Mint. I'm just paranoid about doing something wrong and accidentally walking into a security vulnerability. So I want to set aside time to properly learn things and understand what I'm doing but I'm just busy AF these days...
Basically don't run random sudo(superuser do, root access) commands you find on the internet without reading what the command does from docs or asking ai.
Leaving windows makes you more secure.
Also don't worry about turning secureboot off. It makes it a lot less annoying and gets rid of a lot of issues. Also also steam doesn't like running on linux and having it's library on windows filesystem you gotta format them both, if your games are on a separate drive.
There you go, the two hurdles i had with linux.
Agreed.
Had the same problem with the Steam library on a Windows filesystem and some annoyances with NTFS drives.
Other than that, pretty easy overall (you have to tinker around with some games and wineversions though)
Take it slow and do it the right way, don't let Lemmy pressure you if you're making slow but steady progress. It's a learning curve for sure
I have four pieces of advice
- btrfs file system for easy backup and recovery
- Encrypt your drive
- use an ad blocker everywhere
- use virus total to scan anything you might be wary of, and if you really feel like you need an AV, they do exist for Linux.
I usually prefer Debian based systems, but when I finally ditched windows 3 weeks ago, I switched to Manjaro, and I'm loving it. You got this!
If you are worried about disk space don't use backup on btrfs though it fills up yr drive I never encrypt my drive but maybe you should Manjaro is great though!
How can I convince the GF to switch? She only plays The Sims and the occasional hentai game; her Skylake i5 and 1050ti are more than adequate for those tasks. Yet she refuses to try Linux; won't even let me install LTSC to buy some time.
I think she just wants an excuse to buy a new laptop. She's the kind of person who replaces her shower curtain every six months, rather than do the sane thing and simply wash it. I'll never understand such a wasteful mentality.
My gf is on win 11 and doesn't uses it mainly for very light gaming and work. I offered it to her once and she doesn't care.
Her windows is already having fun problems people think only linux has like her not being able to pay except using edge and other small annoyances. I just say "weird, if it works flawless on linux why doesn't it on windows" every once in a while.
Bazzite and don’t tell her it’s Linux?
She's not stupid
Then she can run Linux.
This isn't helpful at all.
She uses windows.
As do I. Sorry, but KDE's HDR support is trash; half implemented at best (and it doesn't even support AutoHDR nor RTX HDR). Until that changes, I will continue to dual-boot Win11 and Arch.
Linux makes more sense for the GF than me, because her laptop has a basic 60Hz SDR display. It's the perfect OS if you don't have modern hardware.
Hdr? I barely know her!
There is nothing wrong if someone doesn't want to switch to a new OS. That being said, isn't her buying a new computer better? Old one becomes unused then.
Putting lightweight linux on an unused old computer and seeing it become better is like the standard procedure. You could even make a custom rice for her.
I feel like eveyone should reccomend Fedora KDE edition, its close enough to Windows for new users and modern enough to not push people away.
