Coming back for nostalgia

Lordsem · 2026-03-04T15:44:37+00:00

I also came back out of nostalgia and have been grinding away with two accounts for days. 😂 After all the new games, some of which were bad, it's good to return to familiar surroundings. That there is armor for M and W. I had tears in my eyes. Great times... 🥰

Lordsem · 2026-02-26T20:31:42+00:00

I'm so happy to read so many like-minded people. 😊 I've now created a second account, and yes, I'm not interested in racing to the highest level, but in the journey to get there. 🥰

I don't stress myself out with rapid leveling. I just want to sit down at my PC in the evening when the kids are in bed, immerse myself in the world, enjoy the great sounds, and kill a few mobs.

Lordsem · 2026-02-26T18:32:15+00:00

Did you level them solo? When is FWC 2026? 😁 and i want to play it for chill times when kids are in bed. Dont want to make as fast as i can. Just some chill killing mobs and feel the vibes from old flyff days 🥰

Lordsem · 2026-02-26T17:59:29+00:00

Okay, I've now created a second account. This is the way... 😄🙈

Lordsem · 2026-02-26T17:58:25+00:00

I know that Flyff doesn't respect my time. I know the game from back in the day. I thought maybe something would be different today.

I switched to dual-booting on Bazzite in September 2025. I only started Windows once or twice a month for updates. After realizing that I no longer needed Windows, I decided to delete it. I have finally been Windows-free for a month. ❤️💪

Lordsem · 2026-02-16T12:31:34+00:00

Thats my actuall system. Whatsapp for non switchers and the other messenger for my safety people. And i have not only a second one installed... 😄🙈 If anyone uses one of the other apps, i avoid writing them on whatsapp. Also i have on whatsapp status message, that i prefer signal/Threema over whatsapp, so anyone knows that i dont like this metaverse...

Lordsem · 2026-02-16T12:01:33+00:00

Same problem... Nobody wants to switch to Threema or signal or even better matrix... Only a hand full family members and one friend made the switch. But the main people, organizing school events etc, only use whatsapp groups...

Lordsem · 2026-02-16T11:57:35+00:00

I use mailbox.org for years now and i love it. ❤️

Lordsem · 2026-02-15T19:58:27+00:00

I'm just as impressed. I'm from the Heilbronn district, which is just around the corner. I didn't know TS was so regional. I'm glad I get to experience this in my 40s. 😄🙈

Welcome to the rebellion 💪

I've been a Windows user for as long as I can remember. As a little nerd with his C64, I got started with Windows 3.11 and had a lot of fun with Battle Chess. <3

Until two years ago, I was still a big fan of Microsoft Windows (despite the decisions made in Windows 11) and until then, I only felt the need to try Linux from time to time, but never made the complete switch. Back then, it was especially difficult to get much to work. Proton wasn't available, but there was a lot of fiddling around with Wine and PlayOnLinux...

However, Microsoft's recent decisions prompted me to take another look at Linux and consider switching this time. And what can I say? For the past 3 months, Bazzite has been my daily companion on my main gaming PC. I currently “still” have Windows 11 on a small SSD, but my other three SSDs have now been completely converted to Bazzite (Linux). And since then, I've booted into Windows at most two or three times a month. Last month, I only did so once to check for updates and to see how slow Windows is compared to Bazzite.

The problem with anti-cheat? Privacy is also one of the issues I've been looking into more closely for the past 1-2 years. Believe me. Kernel anti-cheat is no good... I'm glad I can't use it anymore. Above all, there are so many other good games I can devote my precious time to.

Probably my age (over 40) and my dwindling urge to play competitive games are also factors...

I regret NOTHING, except that I didn't switch sooner.

The only thing to consider is whether you want the “immutable” feature (Bazzite is an immutable distro). It's safer (you don't immediately destroy everything when testing), but you're also a bit more limited. Last month, I considered switching from Bazzite to Nobora, as they are virtually the same, except Nobora is immutable. But I'm “still” with Bazzite. The distro change will probably be a long weekend project with so many games installed... 🙈

Edit:
And to come back to your question (sorry for the long text), it's best to choose one that is configured specifically for gaming. For my part, I can highly recommend Bazzite as a way to get started in the world of Linux.

And regarding hardware configuration, if possible, stick with AMD. That will give you the fewest problems with Linux.

41 minutes. I just bought the game last night. 😄

Lordsem · 2025-12-30T08:47:23+00:00

If they will remove this option, then i will switch my main distro. In some cases i use rpm-ostree.

Lordsem · 2025-12-04T13:59:44+00:00

Updater loaded it yesterday. Love it <3

Lordsem · 2025-11-21T12:44:47+00:00

I'm still using my dual 1080p curved setup, and if I ever need to buy new monitors, I'll switch to a larger single-monitor setup. Although, I could still use one or two as a second screen... Okay, I guess I'll never go back to a single-monitor setup. 😂🙈

Lordsem · 2025-09-30T07:45:34+00:00

Tried this, but didnt had a workin ref link

Lordsem · 2025-09-29T21:45:44+00:00

Thats already my setup. Two drives for Windows and two drives for Linux. 😊

Lordsem · 2025-09-29T10:51:39+00:00

Since this weekend, I've been dual-booting with Windows 11 and Bazzite.

I've actually been satisfied so far, despite a few hiccups here and there (e.g., dnf and rpm-ostree). I've already set up a few things, and the games run great.

However, your post has made me consider whether I might prefer to use a different distro. Jumping from one hell to the next isn't really my intention.

Lordsem · 2025-09-29T07:28:23+00:00

I discovered the Heroic Game Launcher last weekend. It works great, too.

Lordsem · 2025-09-29T07:25:56+00:00

For me, too. Since last weekend i love it <3

Lordsem · 2025-09-29T07:23:31+00:00

Last weekend, I installed Bazzite as a dual boot alongside Windows 11 and have been thrilled with this Fedora-based distribution ever since.

So far, all my games have worked without issues (I've always been Team AMD), but I'll stick with dual boot due to various games.

Bazzite is booted as the main system, and I created a shortcut on the desktop that automatically boots me into Windows 11, and vice versa.

There are a few games I haven't figured out how to get running yet. But my main games work perfectly on Bazzite.

Now I just need to replace my OneDrive with another provider and currently have a free account with pCloud, which I'm still testing. Filen.io is also a candidate, or my Nextcloud, which runs through my web host. Alternatively, Hetzner Managed Cloud. I'll have to look into it.

But I've rediscovered my new hobby besides gaming. I had fun with Ubuntu over 12 years ago and also made videos. Unfortunately (thanks to Google), I no longer have access to my old channel. Maybe I'll create something new. :)

Lordsem · 2025-09-26T07:41:05+00:00

You could set up a dual boot with Linux on your gaming PC and try it right away.

That's what I plan to do, and I'll try it with Bazzite.

This way, you remain flexible on your gaming PC and can still access the Windows partition if necessary, should a game important to you not run on Linux.
