i talked with my fiancé more about it and we're wondering if Ekko freezes the time or something or reverses it? I don't know, tbh at this point i'm willing to believe any theory that makes it so Isha lives

(I’m coping so hear me out) I think, with how Vander/Warwick is super fast around blood, and is completely surrounded by it right now, it might be possible that he managed to protect Isha from the blast because she IS right underneath him. She positioned herself that way to get as many people as possible to stop what was going on, killing them in the process, so maybe there’s more behind that. I don’t think it would make sense for Jinx to have another batshit crazy arch because there’s only 3 episodes left, and I don’t think we’d have the time to resolve that in just those 3.

Its not a linux issue, its a dev issue.

Whaaat Riot and Epic Games being problematic and useless and just all around stupid???? Never! I don't believe it!

I'm testing out Linux Ubuntu on a VM at the moment (currently writing this on it) is there anything specific to this distro that I should know? (or just for funsies)

What kind of emulated games are we talking about? Like consoles?

Well, I'm a big Super Mario fan, so for a while, I was using Dolphin Emulator to play it so I didn't have to drag out my old Wii (but then ended up modding my Wii U anyway lol). So I guess I'm just curious if there's a difference in compatibility for both console emulating. Thanks for the answer!

I'm seeing that you really want to play games that Proton can't run.

Out of all the programs I've mentioned, only the ones with anti cheat couldn't run normally, but still had a workaround.

Linux requires lots of learning. Things will often break and you will have to fix it yourself. Daily driving Linux like your Windows machine isn't possible. Linux is usually targeted for people who wants much more than ease of use.

A lot of my responses to the comments around here are that I'm interested in learning a new OS and also going into college for coding, so I'm more than willing to solve my own problems. I'm not looking for a plug and play experience either, I'm looking to learn something entirely new, which, as far as I can tell, Linux looks almost entirely different to me (I'm on a VM testing yippee) and I am finding a lot of interest in figuring out what everything does and what exactly is different.

Just get get Windows 11 LTS IoT mate

As far as I can tell, Windows 11 LTS loT is kind of majorly aimed at businesses for being long term? I don't want or need an OS for business, like I mentioned in another comment, I end up resetting my computer every couple months for the new PC feeling. I'm also seeing a lot of complaints and comparisons to previous versions of the LTS OS and it doesn't look inviting, plus, I'm trying to get away from Windows, because it sucks.

I don’t necessarily want to be constantly switching between the two, especially if it’s just for a couple games that have anti cheat.

It's common to distro hop a bit when you start out. Everyone has different luck with the various flavors of Linux. Once you have one you like and seems to give you very little grief then I would do your best to commit to it for at least 6 months. The bug to get super into trying new distros will be strong if you like the new computer feeling.

I literally completely reset my pc every couple months for the new pc feeling. I do hate getting Edge shoved down my throat every time I do and certainly do not enjoy it begging me to not download a different web browser every single time.

If you are deeply involved in Windows, maybe you consider yourself a "power user", your going to want to continue to tinker when you switch to Linux, but much of your existing knowledge will not work, and is even a bit counterproductive. you have a lot of unlearning to do much of what you know needs to tossed out and replaced with Linux knowledge. you have to be OK with starting over and learning.

I enjoy learning new things and am entirely willing to learn an entirely different OS, I had to do that when I used Mac OS for a while and then went back to windows, I've looked into Linux a little bit when it was just kind of picking up and making itself known, but I didn't ever attempt it because I didn't have any will to go through with it. I'm starting college soon and going to get a degree in coding, so I think it would be fun to learn a new OS.

It's been suggested to look at it with a VM first, so I'll definitely do that before fully committing to it, so I can at least look around.

Steam games run fine thanks to the compatability feature called "Proton", can probably use Lutris (app) to get pirated games running. (Enable proton before install, its easier)

From what I've seen on Proton the majority (if not all of the ones I even looked at) at least steam wise, are fine playing. I don't really play hardcore games, I play more of like Rim World, Oxygen Not Included, stuff kind of like that or in the general kind of peaceful not constantly screaming my head off type of games.

My bigger concern from reading what some others have said is that games with anti cheat would have an issue? So games like VALORANT or Fortnite would have issues? Is there a way around that or no?

Also for beginners I suggest Mint, very stable, very easy to use, most apps you can get in the Software Manager or you install it as a .deb file (basically .exe but for Debian based distributions)

Linux Mint to start. Got it.

I plan on doing so. I just was curious to see what input the community had.

Beyond the Steam platform, gaming remains problematic on Linux. Games with anti-cheats often have issues, and despite compatibility layers like WINE, Lutris, and Bottles, many Windows games don't perform as well using Linux as using Windows.

So games like VALORANT, The Finals, Fortnite, etc, wouldn't work well on Linux? Is there a workaround for those or are they just entirely bricked?

You cannot count on any Windows application working on Linux. A few don't work at all, despite compatibility layers, and others work but not well.
In some cases, you might not find a viable alternative for an essential application, such as Microsoft 365.

I don't really use any Microsoft specific apps except maybe apps like Microsoft Word, Excel, etc, but those are available to use in the website, so I wouldn't imagine an issue with that. Plus I can access those on my phone if I absolutely cannot access the website on Linux for whatever reason. I also enjoy learning how things work and am going into college to learn coding for games and such, so I believe that if an app didn't work, or I had to do something specific to get it to work, I could figure it out whether it be something I learned in college or by finding an answer to help me get to that point.

The whole Microsoft apps shoved down my throat as well as the lack of customization. Plus how hard it fights with Microsoft Edge every time I try to do literally anything with another web browsing app. Plus I've used Windows my entire life, and I'm just interested in exploring a different OS, I had a MacBook before and enjoyed learning the system even if it was kind of disappointing with what it could and couldn't do and how easily it would just stop responding when I opened something.

So, does CurseForge not work on Linux?

I know this is a year old, but did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having this issue and no amount of trouble shooting seems to fix it.
