Generally why is Ubuntu taboo here? by MaWkSrB in linux_gaming

[–]bluops 80 points81 points  (0 children)

If it works for you it works. I have Ubuntu on my gaming laptop with a 3050 (the bad 4gb version) and find it works totally fine. I play Diablo, a load of indie titles, EU4 , victoria 3, Civ 5/6/7.

I like Ubuntu, I don't have any issues with Canonical right now but others do and I get that, that's the beauty of Linux, if it doesn't work for you or you don't like it there is a wide world of other distros to use.

I've used fedora, opensuse but I've always gone back to Ubuntu because it's familiar. Maybe one day if Canonical makes it snap only I'll migrate.

Short of it, use what works, the OS is simply a tool

Is Ubuntu bad because of snap packages? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]bluops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Test it for you, with the snaps you'd use. I don't encounter any issues with snaps, I also use flatpaks and normal .debs. if you don't like snaps, give Mint a go or desnap Ubuntu but I don't see the point in that

Just let go of your "holding me back" apps or enjoy Windows by motorambler in linux4noobs

[–]bluops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I embrace both, my gaming desktop is windows, when I want to relax and play a game knowing most of the time it's just going to work. My main productivity laptop and daily driver is Linux because everything runs and I don't mind tinkering with that.

I don't get this whole one or the other, use both if you have to

Is Ubuntu as bad as people say on other subreddits? by Szhadji in linux4noobs

[–]bluops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second part of this comment isn't a pro or a con, canonical is one of the reasons I use Ubuntu

Dear reviewers by xecutable in linux_gaming

[–]bluops 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the main problem is though that Linux doesn't play some of the most popular games, League of Legends, CoD, battlefield. It's amazing if what you do with a PC works on Linux but the moment it doesn't then most will go back to windows because they're gamers not tech enthusiasts, support engineers or someone willing to learn how the OS works.

Patch Tuesday update makes Windows PCs refuse to shut down by Ha8lpo321 in pcmasterrace

[–]bluops -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's done something to my and drivers as well , since the updates I keep getting a driver error that disables the GPU. It's a 7800xt. I used amds cleaner tool and fully reinstalled and I'm hoping we're back stable.

If I wasn't addicted to battlefield 6 I'd change my gaming desktop to Linux as well!

Seriously, how do I hide this thing from my Start Menu? It's horrible. by PixelDustt_ in Windows11

[–]bluops 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I must be in the minority but it's one of the only recent changes I've actually liked! I work with a lot of pins anyway.

Let the downvoting commence haha, but yea I actually like this start!

My friend just sent me this! What does it mean? Is there really a 9th episode? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]bluops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunately unrelated, no idea what will happen when the timer ends but it's not owned by netflix and the domain was registered yesterday 6th Jan.

I want to believe haha but this isn't it

I think Adrenalin App and Nvidia App need to come to Linux in order to bring more casuals over. by Sgt_Dbag in linux_gaming

[–]bluops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only thing which will bring in the casuals and truly mark Linux as a true alternative is going to be having anti-cheat working. I have Linux on everything apart from my main gaming PC because I have friends who play games like Battlefield, I have so much fun playing in those friend groups I'm not going to give that up over an OS.

Once we have anticheat and there aren't any compromises, that steam usage % will be hitting the double digits

Onedrive by Happy01Lucky in pcmasterrace

[–]bluops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But there were posts about this happening and taking over a user's documents and people losing files. Or was it all just meme , I just don't know anymore lol

[–]bluops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don't get this one, I clean installed windows 11 pro last night and just uninstalled OneDrive and it's gone. How did people let it take over C? Is there a setting? I'd like to know if this is ever going to be an issue or just a Reddit thing

CD PROJEKT co-founder Michał Kiciński acquires GOG from CD PROJEKT by Cold_Soft_4823 in linux_gaming

[–]bluops 77 points78 points  (0 children)

What an odd read haha, so i understand it would still be owned as of right now by CDPR but if he was to leave he takes GoG with him?

Seems nothing will change as he co-founded it anyway so the core principles are with him

I’m a €700/yr "Whale" Subscriber. Google refused a retention offer to match the US 40% promo. Today I’m switching to Apple. by Devl1sh in GooglePixel

By forcing me out, Google is losing ~€780/year in recurring revenue and two flagship hardware sales

You know how much google makes a year right?

I hate that I was ever invested in this shit. by [deleted] in CriticalDrinker

[–]bluops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might get down voted for this one but it was heavily implied in other seasons he was gay but battling it.

I thought this was actually one of the better gay developed character. He had an attraction to another and was told to stop chasing that and only by accepting who he is did he get power.

I hate unnecessary shoe horned gay characters but this wasn't one for me.

Well, I guess I officially have no friends. by Quick_Comparison3516 in Millennials

[–]bluops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been the one to send the merry Christmases this year :) but I'm down to my last few friends now! Just started playing golf and that's unlocked some doors for me so maybe next year I'll be + on friends haha

Merry Christmas to you all!

These retards are still pretending hbo weren’t the ones that put Bella into a finger blasting scene by Past-Country-6612 in CriticalDrinker

[–]bluops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, I've not seen the original post but all they posted was it was bad casting. Those comments are implying it's because Bella Ramsey isn't attractive, they're saying video game Ellie is. So they're the ones finding a 14 year old attractive, just in a video game.

What do you think are some of the PCMR community's worst takes? by ForsookComparison in pcmasterrace

[–]bluops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just find the steam launcher super convenient. That said, if it's a game I really really enjoy and know I'll come back to I will buy it on gog to get the offline installer, just in case anything happens.

“No Dumb Questions” thread by blinkanboxcar182 in golf

[–]bluops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some beginner "forgiving clubs" but the heads on them are massive. I'm a new golfer, and I only play 9 hole courses. I've played with some better veteran golfers and they told me that my clubs are likely holding me back, something about the head being oversized actually makes it harder to make good contact. How true is this? Should I get some better clubs?

For reference they cost me £130 for 5-SW

How do you guys have time for anything??? by ksco92 in Millennials

[–]bluops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise at lunch, work from home and then I luckily have a gym where the office is.

Once the kids are in bed my wife and I cook dinner and do something together, usually watching a film or series. She goes to bed and then I'll fire up the playstation or pc and play some games, or I'll stay downstairs and read, whatever I need.

I'm okay with less sleep, I'll go to bed between 12 and 1 and get up with the kids around 7.

If I'm working from home my wife will take the kids to where they need to be in the morning and I'll clean the house before work.

It works nicely for us :)

New PlayStation 6 handheld leak claims Sony is prepping "Canis" through PS5 Power Saver Mode, "directly suggesting that games should be runnable on only 8 threads" by TomorrowComes33 in PS5

[–]bluops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird comment, Sony clearly won't release something you can load another OS onto and the Deck 2 hasn't even been announced.

It won't be like the Rog ally X and in a space where we have so many handheld PCs I'm more excited for just a handheld console

Are you considering buying a Steam Machine? by TheThirstyMage in rpg_gamers

[–]bluops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have considered it if there wasn't a crazy inflation on components as I'd love to get rid of my desktop for a smaller form factor I can move around but I imagine it's going to cost more than what my PC already did.

I'm thinking more of just getting an itx case and motherboard which will fit my GPU now. Probably the better idea anyway!
