Sounds like Australian based VPN nodes will get a lot more popular…

Anyone ever consider that Google could, you know… Afford to fund their own damned data center project if they want it so badly?

Mint works on dual monitors… I had it running fine on 4, one of which is an ultra wide (X11 can be a bit flaky about different sized monitors, but other than occasional oddity, it didn’t cause me issues)

Yeah, ones like D2 where the developer is actively hostile towards Linux to the point of banning people who manage to get it to run is going to be “use Windows or play something else”, unfortunately

I think it’s a little of neither on that one… It’s an effect of always assuming it’s the only thing installed on a machine and not actually caring about not stepping on competition to code the updater to look for and respect dual boot configs

I’m sure they’d look at it like a happy little accident

I’m not sure about the hardware acceleration, as far as I know it’s just worked for me (or it’s not been working and I’ve just not been aware), but for the bootloader breaking… Honestly, crap like that is why I don’t understand why Fedora is as popular as it is, it’s had weird issues like that pretty much since the beginning.

I’d recommend trying a different distro, maybe Mint or OpenSuSE, but bootloaders breaking on updates should be rare to non-existent

Yes, but they said “doesn’t work”, not “doesn’t work as I’d like”, which are very different things

Which games, out of curiosity?

This is true on Windows too

I use it for work (AD admin, kind of have to unless I want to change careers while I’m halfway to retirement), and at home I use it for a machine that’s dedicated to running simulator games (I can get the peripherals to work in Linux for the most part, but a lot of the setup for them is Windows only and since it’s only used for that, I’m currently just sucking it up there… Though I’ll need to keep something around even if I switch that system since some of them can only be programmed via Windows, like my VKB flight sticks)
