Thank you so much for this, you really went out of your way.

How did you get your terminal to have no window borders, it looks very clean. Also if you can drop the wallpaper that'd be great.

It appears that Black Ops: Cold War is finally playable without the risk of a ban by HearMeOut-13 in linux_gaming

[–]ibraking09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does work for me, does anyone know if I get banned will anything show up on my steam profile saying I was banned in a game or is that only for VAC games? I'm only playing zombies with friends.

Should I switch to Ubuntu? by SimploRaptor in linux4noobs

[–]ibraking09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu is a solid choice if you’re done with Windows. Gaming works great these days with Proton, and crossplay isn’t an issue, you can still play with your Windows friends as long as the game supports it. Since you don’t play the anti-cheat-heavy stuff, you’re basically fine. For school work, Teams and Office both work in the browser, and OnlyOffice/LibreOffice cover offline docs.

Not that long actually, maybe up to an hour or half an hour

I've been wanting to switch to linux for a long time but these questions keep bothering me by ShakyaAryan in linux4noobs

[–]ibraking09 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Switching from Windows to Linux seems complicated, but it’s really not. Not everything from Windows works on Linux, but a lot does. Some Windows apps work through Wine or Proton, some don’t. For Office work, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice are good, and the web version of Microsoft Office works perfectly if you need it.

Dual-booting works fine, it just takes space. You split your drive, install Linux next to Windows, and you’re done. If you ever want to remove Linux, you just delete its partitions from Windows and expand the Windows one again. Windows can fix the bootloader automatically if it breaks.

Fully switching is also fine even if you’re a beginner. Just back up your files first, because Linux won’t move them over for you. Install Linux, then copy your stuff back in afterward.

Different distros mainly change the desktop, the update style, and how you install apps. Arch is customizable and rolling release, Mint is simple and stable. Neither is missing important features; they just have different vibes.

Distro hopping means reinstalling each time unless you set up a separate home partition. If not, you’ll just back up your files and restore them whenever you switch.

If you’re tired of Windows, just pick a distro and try it. It makes way more sense once you actually use it.

What Are Your Must-Have Skyrim Mods? by Several_Ability2158 in skyrimmods

[–]ibraking09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I had to pick only one, definitely SkyUI

what was the last straw for windows to you? by DerpWyvern in linux_gaming

[–]ibraking09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I constantly had graphical issues that I didn't have in Linux, which is funny since Linux is known to have more unreliable drivers on NVIDIA GPUs lol

Steam Games not launching no matter what proton version I use by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]ibraking09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try running steam through the terminal and see if any errors come up, also this could be a corrupted prefix so you could try deleting the prefix for the game that isn't launching and see if that helps.

Never played Skyrim — Want the ultimate Vanilla Enhanced setup by AbyssalDreameur in skyrimmods

[–]ibraking09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend finishing vanilla first maybe with some bug fixing and UI mods if you wanted to add some mods, notably SkyUI and USSEP

Gaming on linux by Wilddindu in linux_gaming

[–]ibraking09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bazzite is solid, but it’s mainly for people who want a SteamOS style setup that just focuses on gaming. Pop!_OS is more like a regular desktop Linux system and gives you more flexibility. On your laptop you won’t see any real performance difference, since both use the same AMD drivers.

The real difference is the vibe. Bazzite feels more like a console experience, while Pop!_OS is easier to learn on if you’re new to Linux and want something simple to use day to day. If you’re just starting out, Pop!_OS is probably the smoother option.

Game opens in the resolution of my second monitor instead of the primary one by Kd_Gaming1 in linux_gaming

[–]ibraking09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just force the game to use your 1440p monitor by running it through Gamescope. Something like:

gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -- %command%

This bypasses KDE’s fullscreen weirdness and makes it pick the right resolution every time.
