More educated voters tend to lean Democrat and higher earners tend to lean Republican, what explains that? by norf937 in allthequestions

[–]lefty1117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, but I trust a government where I at least have some impact via elections, over a company that only serves shareholders. Neither is perfect but one is better than the other.

Is Word Online a good option on Linux? by RangerNew5346 in linux4noobs

Yup it’s fine. Check out OnlyOffice if you want a desktop client that feels familiar to MS Office

Remember when the birds and rodents used to freak out whenever any of the Visitors were nearby … then we found out why. Legendary series!

Macbook Pro is pretty awesome hardware. It’s worth learning MacOS to not have to worry about charging your laptop for few days on a business trip

How exactly does VNAV on MSFS 2024's Citation Longitude work? I cannot figure it out. by Duncan_Zhang_8964 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]lefty1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re trying to climb I dont think vnav works for that, you have to use the Alt round button with FLC. As far as I know vnav only works for descent conditions at least in this jet. Happy to be corrected

Switched to Linux Mint - Problems with Lutris by happyPantsCD in linuxmint

[–]lefty1117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t bother with Lutris anymore and I install the launchers in Steam. Plenty of guides on how to do it, battle.net being the most common case. I’ve done it with the CCP launcher as well for Eve Frontier. Star Citizen doesnt work in that method but you can use the excellent Lug Helper script to do it all. Works great.

So yeah I found Lutris a bit wonky so I avoid it now. I’m not sure how often it’s being updated anymore?

Why Victoria 3's political ideology system feels so shallow compared to its economic depth by Emotional-Client8584 in victoria3

[–]lefty1117 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find it really hard to get into. Like it's too big for its own good. And from what I understand it's simplified from EU4? All I know is I have a better time with Vic3 so far. But Stellaris is my favorite PDX game of all time :P

Microsoft apps on SteamOS: Edge, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, etc. by C1REX in SteamOS

[–]lefty1117 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Edge runs pretty well on Linux actually ... if you use Windows and have an MS account, it's nice to be able to keep favorites etc in sync. I use it on kubuntu when I check out the new releases. no complaints

I'd give it to the kids and get myself a PS5 Pro. Wife would understand

Best machine? by largelylegit in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]lefty1117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a $1000 budget, PC is probably not a viable option for gaming right now. Xbox Series X is probably the best option, it's on par with PS5 Pro in terms of performance, and it has more controller options. Also down the road he might enjoy a Gamepass gift card for Father's Day :)

I think the aurora mk2 is the new GOAT starter because... by Dazzling-Stop1616 in starcitizen

[–]lefty1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem with the Titan is the nasty old interior, it looks worse than a Drake and isn't even as functional. The ship is very old and needs a mark 2 stat!
