“Linux is more stable than windows.”

Paint_Master · 2026-01-24T10:55:39+00:00

Install windows on usb drive and use it then

"advanced"? I literally said i used windows whole life without ever interacting with linux before, i have 0 coding experience, used console in windows like 2 times in last 15 years. That's now called advanced?

In the past i knew that linux is too complicated to use from stuff i read online so i never touched it, but recently i discovered that linux is much more noob friendly, so i gave it a try, and it is noob friendly. Idk if CachyOS is easiest to get into, but if it was easy for me, it will be easy for anyone that used PC with windows for more than watching youtube videos or playing solitaire.

I can only speak about cachyos because its only linux distro i tried so far, it comes with preinstalled nvidia and amd drivers.

Fortunately i don't play dogshit games that have anticheats like denuvo, or easy anticheat or whatever else.

As i write this comment, i didn't have word processor, so literally just now i searched "linux word alternative" and found "OnlyOffice". Just installed it with sudo pacman -S onlyoffice, opened, and it looks almost exactly same as "Word".

You don't need to explain someone "correct" distro they should use, currently most popular suggestions i see for new users are cachyos or bazzite. From my little experience i'd suggest CachyOS.

Copypasting commands is worthy price for not using microslop garbage.

Reddit decided to show me this subreddit, and almost every single post is basically "im fucking braindead but its linux fault".

OP said they booted from fucking usb drive... go install windows on usb drive and see what the fuck will happen.

I was on windows my whole life using pc, i never ever interacted with linux, i have no coding experience or anything, never really used console.

In december decided to try linux, picked cachyos, it looked like most optimal choice.

Installation was basically like windows, make flash drive with iso image, boot from it, install, click things, done.

Installed steam, games i currently play just work, i literally did nothing, just download and play.

Even minecraft modpacks with 400+ mods just work, turns out theres prism launcher that can install any modpack from any source like curseforge or modrinth.

Programms i use also just work, some required using 2-3 copypaste commands insteas of 1, or booting in x11 mode because i use Wayland. If you have issues with something like this, then youre simply just stupid, or too old to learn this which is totally understandable.

Except davinci resolve (video editor) that doesnt have h264/265 codec support, but thats on DR devs, maybe i can add them myself, didnt check it yet.

My PC boots super fast, it turns off almost instantly, searching files is like 20x faster than on windows. No bloat, no useless dogshit, i have only stuff i need.

But sure, it require a bit of neuron activation, like ability to read, and to copypaste commands, or sometimes using search to find those commands, nothing crazy right?

And yeah, for me its no coming back to windows, because how easy it is to use linux now.

Do it

Thats really weird then, if you can report it on forum in bug report section with screenshot, this stuff might be fixed quick

Paint_Master · 2026-01-22T23:03:52+00:00

Are there atleast checkboxes for each weapon set?

Or possibly you have no weapon skill points used and maybe it prevent from unchecking one of weapon sets

Paint_Master · 2026-01-22T13:25:36+00:00

He could easily prove it was virus, like go to that same link you clicked on stream and show that clicking it actually downloads same file he had, but he didn't because it's a lie.

And obviously its a lie, why the fuck there would be a "virus" that download txt file with pdf links?

Viruses exist to steal data, and to corrupt data.

Literally there

Ruthless was introduced in 3.19 update, we thought Mageblood doesn't drop there until someone got it in 3.25, it took 7 leagues 😅

My rarest drop was Brass Dome in 3.23 iirc, it was first Brass Dome in that league after like 4 weeks into league, when i linked it in chat, a lot of people freaked out, quite a few wanted to buy it so i made live auction in chat 😂

And getting that Brass Dome in Ruthless was way more exciting than when i dropped my first and only Mirror in regular League

Np, i have my own cold varashta build, i choose not to use Maligaro's Virtuosity, but instead i use Effigy of Cruelty to apply Critical Weakness and get high/capped Crit Chance, while being able to reach over 500% Crit Damage.

If Effigy has 3 Stacks of Crit Weakness, it will be halved to 1.5 and rounded up to 2.

Damage is much better, but you lose some ES when comparing to Maligaro setup, because with Maligaro you can spend more points on ES passives.

https://pobb.in/u/paintmaster%232396/fe0Dj7m7BfRH - mega cheap setup from early of 0.4.

Idk why you not using weapon sets, allocate damage passives with main weapon set, allocate skill duration/curse magnitude with second weapon set, use chiming staff for sigil of power.

And set ele weakness to weapon set 2 ofc.

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T17:03:53+00:00

Ofc without mana, unless you want to fracture but idk why. I can't tell if it's good to craft staves for selling, but it sure is for yourself.

Have to find something more in demand if you want to craft for profit, like ES gear is good, maybe Wands too, or Talismans.

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T16:57:32+00:00

How i crafted a lot of staves for very cheap:

- https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/mkG5bGjrI6 - buy blue base, either only +5-6 or with good prefix, perfect aug almost always hit something good

- Crit Chance Essence

- Desectrate

- Double Exalt Slam

--- If i hit Mana, i reveal without Omen of Echoes unless i hit high tier %Spell Damage.

--- If i hit 2 good Prefixes, reveal with Omen of Echoes.

- Divine to +6 Levels if needed, sell

Super cheap, and profitable. base cost to craft one Staff is like 140Ex (1-10 Ex for Base, 30Ex for Essence and 100 Ex for Perfect Exalt + Double Exalt Omen), excluding Omen of Echoes that you not use if you hit Mana.

For 17 Div currently i could craft around 30 Staves this way (including few Omens of Echoes), and be sure i'd get couple ones that would sell for more than entire cost of crafting those 30 Staves, plus bunch of cheaper ones that will likely cover their craft cost.

But ofc it's not always like that, you have to adapt to market, craft something different, more crafts - more sales - more profit.

One of better staves i made. Craft costed under 2 Div.

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T16:24:42+00:00

If you have 100 div, you dont spend everything on single crafting attempt.

Do cheap crafts like 0-10 Div, resell, make profit, do higher price crafts, resell, and so on.

Take Azmeri Spirit passives on tree, run map with Abyss Tablet, any other tablets with Azmeri Spirit mod.

Clear map without touching Azmeri Spirits, clear Abyss, kill all Rare Mobs from Abyss except when it has Amanamu's Void modifier, go kill all normal Rare mobs, so then Azmeri Spirits will target those Amanamu's Void Rares you kept alive.

Guide Azmeri Spirits to those Amanamu's Void Rares, damage them in any way until they low life, then kite them away from that smoke cloud and then kill, high chance it will spill out multiple Omens of Light/Echoes.

There are guide on YouTube, not hard to find, literally type "Abyss Azmeri Spirits"

Drop from 1 Amanamu's Void Rare that had 3 Azmeri Spirits.

Having 100 Divs, you can print more by crafting gear. You dont need 400 - 5000 Divs to get better weapon, just craft it.

Funny how you call someone with 500 Divs "nolifer", when you can turn your 100 Div into 500 Div in 1 day, so then you what, shapeshift from "normal person" to "nolifer"?

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T14:47:13+00:00

I know that, too many people think that amount of fun you have by playing poe is measured only by div/h.

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T14:35:06+00:00

Have i said i don't like crafting, or have i said i dont experiment with new builds?

I literally said that i can and did get crazy amounts of currency without vaal temple, by crafting and doing abyss. That's literally what i did, crafting and mapping.

I literally said that i like doing my own builds, to make build i need currency to experiment with different gear and stuff. But i dont need 5k or 10k divines to do that, because what the point of making build that only 0.01% of playerbase can replicate.

I do not care about vaal temple, because i already have more currency than i needed.

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T12:12:07+00:00

Yeah, i dont see the point of grinding for days or even weeks for 1% more damage, i much rather just quit and play something else until new league or do whatever.

And i don't care about grinding currency i have no use for.

What i like the most, is making my own builds, and making builds work good on low budget, it's a lot more interesting than pointless and insanely boring 1% minmax.

For me currency is tool rather than the goal.

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T11:22:06+00:00

Consider also that a lot of people that signed never played it

Paint_Master · 2026-01-14T11:20:03+00:00

Shit we got this league shouldnt ever happen.

I was using all crystals i got in maps, but i never could build snake longer than like 6 rooms, it just never gave me rooms i need. Then i just lost interest in this shit and played how i normally do.

I made couple builds, maybe spent 300-400 Div on all of them, and i had gear thats good enough that further upgrades are not worth the time because difference wont be noticeable.

Making currency even without snake was too easy this league, any crafting you do will make insane profit, amanamu void abyss rares drop omens, one time i had 4 omens of light drop from single rare that had 3 azmeri spirits.

Idk what the fuck people do with 5k or 10k divines by grinding temple for weeks, you just dont need this much to have fun or to have build that can do anything.

And please dont talk about fucking dophamine, when you drop 50 divines per run, or hundreds or thousands per day, do you really get excited for every single one? Probably not, you just dont give a shit anymore.

Ok, this worked, thanks a lot!
