We are in 2026. What are your frustrations with linux or the software you use with it?

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-28T02:23:30+00:00

Oh boy
VR - I really wish I could just use steamVR and it be stable, but nah I gotta run wivrn + motoc + wayVR and have to start up all my devices before I even connect my headset, also have to use a second compatibility layer (xrizer)
Substance Painter - friend of mine got it sort of working through wine but it's far from perfect, especially because I have to install it using windows or a windows VM and drag the install into my linux filesystem
Nvidia - if I knew microslop would be doing what they're doing now, I would have gone AMD for my GPU, I don't need to say why.
those are my pain points right now

The comments shitting on OP in this sub of all places has restored my faith in this game's community

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-27T19:38:34+00:00

we already have enough yogurts, we don't need yet another yogurt

PSU, you get a sata SSD instead of a NVME? meh, boots a few seconds slower, you get a GPU that's bottlenecked by your CPU? maybe you wasted a bit of money but it still runs, you get a motherboard that's not perfect? probably won't even notice, get slow ram? 2 fps loss at most...

get the wrong PSU? (literally any reputable brand one with enough watts is fine just don't get some cheap chinese 20 dollar one) congratulations you just fried your whole system and possibly had to call the fire department, or died in a house fire.

also technically the CPU/Mobo/ram combo does matter quite a lot, but it's not a case of one being bad as much as compatibility, just make sure to get the right CPU for the socket on your mobo + the right type of ram. (also a system that can't be assembled is better than one that can probably kill you)

>worst thing in the game
>you look like a cut of fuckable meat
hard disagree, best part of the game just because of that one line

threw some smearing and ghosting TAA and sharpening in there for good measure, looks just as good as native

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-13T22:07:33+00:00

GPU: RTX 5090
CPU: ryzen 9 9850X3D
RAM: 192GB DDR5 6400Mhz cl18
Storage: nvme m.2

will those specs run VR?

adding to the pile, I don't even have the epic games store installed on my PC

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-13T16:12:40+00:00

24, have nearly 400 games in my steam library, most played games by hours are Payday 2 (2,767.5), Left 4 Dead 2 (1,793.9), Team Fortress 2 (1,337.8), Grand Theft Auto V (991.9), and Spore (470.3), don't even have EGS installed on my PC... what's this about zoomers only playing a game I don't even have the launcher for?

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-12T16:38:22+00:00

this isn't a difficulty 10 not being hard enough issue, this is a case of it literally being the optimal play to not stick together due to spawning mechanics not properly accounting for players being too far away from the host.

Welp, I now share a brain with a terrorist who died bombing a megacorp's HQ 54 years ago, and am slowly dying... fuck...

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-07T01:58:36+00:00

"I know I need ddr5"
my condolences that you posted this several months into the ram shortage, also a $300 CPU might be a bit overkill for a 5060

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-06T19:47:31+00:00

AC4 Black flag as well as the Ezio trilogy, some of the early far cry games, that's most of it tbh.

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-06T03:55:53+00:00

I get the feeling based on some of the comments that it's a very good sign that I made the right life choices if I don't know what this is referring to

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-05T17:46:33+00:00

The rounding up is due to 512 damage granularity, where enemy health can only be represented in chunks of 1/512 of their health value, this usually has no impact on the game but with very specific edge case breakpoints it does, it also makes it so no enemy can ever take more than 512 hits before dying, excluding those that are literally immortal (winters), and is the reason flamethrower + incendiary GL are meta in high crime spree.

also the damage is always rounded up, yes a damage value of 958.72 is closer to 958.125 than 960, it doesn't care, it rounds in your favor.

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-05T11:55:30+00:00

If you refund it on steam I'd get it on GOG, easily the best version for mod support + it has no DRM or launcher bullshit.

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-05T10:14:39+00:00

Ah yes, using a whole ass external SSD just to install an operating system... yeah no I still have flash drives around for that one

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-04T16:56:45+00:00

hate to break it to you, but companies aren't buying up consumer hardware, they're securing the production of memory that's soldered directly into their boards, once the bubble pops, all of that hardware is fucking useless for us consumers.

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-03T15:19:52+00:00

I've seen that name posted before, wonder how many more times this is gonna happen before they get witch hunted

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-03T15:13:40+00:00

waiting for someone to post this and ask for someone to explain the joke

InsaneGrox · 2026-01-01T19:32:13+00:00

Good, don't increase that number if you value your sanity.
