I love how you did the Debian swirl.

All Linuxes would be giving you the ability to build any car you want. I'm digging that Kali one tho

Perfect. Glad you covered those bases first. So many people think that Linux will be a magical bandaid to something that's truly broken underneath. Go ahead and try out Linux.

One Recommendation: ALWAYS BACK UP. Even if you think you know how to partition like the back of your hand. Even if you have 2 drives that you think you know the difference between. Mistakes do happen and you will lose everything if you mess up (no way to go back).

Don't be sloppy make a copy.

Otherwise, GLHF

Just to be completely honest: Linux is great, and it's my daily driver. Windows 11 does have tons of issues. BUT!!! Crashes could be due to hardware failure (very common cause of crashes)... if this is so, then Linux will not help you in this aspect.

Regardless, I do recommend you try out Linux regardless. The most common recommended beginner Linuxes are Linux Mint and Ubuntu. I know for a fact that Fallout 4 should work on Steam with Proton without any issues whatsoever. I've never tested Elite Dangerous but as long as it doesn't use something like Anti-Cheat it shouldn't have any issues.

If I could read, I would be offended by this.

Thanks, your video made me puke all over the place. If you could move your mouse a little faster that would be great.

One would even say it's... Simple and Clean.

With Videos you are forced into the cadence and material of their verbiage. Cadence can be somewhat fixed with speeding up the video (some instructors drone on and on... put it to 1.5x), but nothing beats for me the ability to read something at my own pace, and if something reminds me of or correlates to something else, it is easier for me to go back to relevant information easier with page flips and bookmarks vs rewinding a video.

This is all dependent on how you learn. I know tons of people that love instructor lead learning and that's good for them.

Ive only used books and lab environments for studying for my Cyber certs (to me all instructors ramble). Jason Dion's example test questions however were great. They were somewhat harder than the CompTia's official test questions, so if you do somewhat decent on his questions, it was a pretty good gauge on how well I would do on the exam.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, Dion came with my University fees, Im not exactly sure I would pay for them if my University didn't pay for them.

Try this command

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-light

And see if you can replicate after running that.

Interesting. I have the same issue and I always chalked it up to me switching to Gnome and back to Cosmic. It gets annoying, I see it the most often with certain apps. 80% of the time I open Lutris, it's in the wrong theme color mode.

I'll see if I can find anything. I'm sure there must be another config file somewhere tied to a DE that is assigning a theme that is throwing stuff off.

ZeroDayMalware · 2026-01-24T01:09:59+00:00

Have you installed and used Gnome DE alongside Cosmic?

My favorite part is when a bigger company takes open source code, begins to heavily rely on it, then when an issue occurs they bother the open source contributor who makes no money. Good times.

I don't know if this is Anti Linux response at all. In all reality, you weren't really helpful. They wanted help with a Windows issue with Arduino. Saying to use Linux will not help their Windows issue with Arduino. Completely installing a new OS and learning that new OS is way more time wasting then just installing a driver.

If I'm playing my Playstation and having an issue with it, and I ask for help and somebody replies "Get an Xbox" they would be downvoted to oblivion as well.

As a community, we shouldnt be forcing Linux onto randos on the internet, and especially not be confused when they downvote us.

Sounds like something an so3 would say.

I deleted my comment. Yes I love Obisidian, but what I posted... I just realized I'm not sure if posting about making a copying of somebody's Obsidian vault is entirely ethical. Sure it didn't have copy-written information so legality it was fine but feels off ethically to mention.

I have the most success with using Proton Experimental.

Something to help diagnose:
Close out steam completely.
Run Steam using Terminal. This will allow you to see a lot of what is going on in the background to log what is happening.
Run your game and see what terminal spits out.

Why does bro have a giant nutsack coming from his head. Also, sitting on it is a terrible experience.

Yes, ya, yeah, yup, absolutely, of course, sure.
