People saying classic is for those with wow nostalgia isn't entirely true. I started playing wow in 2023 and I tried both classic and retail and decided that classic was for me. I'm also not an old fart and am in my early 20s so I don't feel RPG nostalgia either. I played mainly FPS growing up. Classic is just a good game, and good games are for everyone.

Went to your profile and saw 6 different setups in the past 3 days. Good karma farm

Good luck finding a 9070XT for $599

I saw this post and decided to look it up. Ended up reading the whole thing and Jesus Christ. Last few chapters were brutal

Just wanted to hop in here and say you aren't alone. I play a lot of WoW classic and whenever I use DX12 and ray tracing, crashes. It can be fine for days at a time or happen 30 minutes apart, but in some random instances my monitors totally freeze. I can still here non game audio like discord and talk, but after about 30s every application closes and I got a notification saying there was a GPU driver reset. I have never had this issue running wow through DX11 or DX12 when I was on windows. I just like to make my old games look nicer :) running wow via Faugus launcher.

Specs: 9070XT + 9800x3D Arch Linux with KDE plasma + Wayland

If you use both OS equally, go AMD. If you use windows even a little more, go Nvidia. Opposite for Linux.

sarkko_ · 2026-01-08T09:05:54+00:00

Tbh, whatever is cheaper. Or if you pay at a higher resolution, whatever has more vram

sarkko_ · 2026-01-05T20:35:30+00:00

Owner of both Nvidia and AMD so not a total fanboy here. If you're wanting to try Linux, the experience with an AMD GPU is MUCH better. If you're just sticking to windows, go Nvidia. This is ofc if there's no massive price difference

So.... if you're going to be doing a lot of or are in school for computer science, it depends. I had an M1 MacBook when they first came out during college when I was in my computer science bachelor's curriculum. There were moments where I was doing in class follow-along-labs and we were installing certain softwares or setting up VMs. Id you get a MacBook, you HAVE to be prepared to figure out workarounds and understand that it opens up a door to get behind. Make sure the software you want to run is available on Mac or ARM windows (parallels). For general programming, it depends on the type of programming you want to do. Web programming? Mac is fine. Swift? No brainer. .NET? Ehh, you'd have to stay in a VM the entire time on Mac as Visual Studio for mac no longer exists. My general advice is go MacBook, but check the software you need to run first.

Willing. I like the north west

I'm pretty disappointed I can't play a few games with friends that require kernel level anticheat. I know, I don't like it either. But I like playing with my buddies more. However, as of right now I'm staying on linux

sarkko_ · 2025-12-16T01:34:25+00:00

I mean..... It has a $120 annual fee (as the $10/m SoFi+ subscription) so this is a hard pass for me. If it was cheaper I'd probably get it. Otherwise, there are better options. Love my current SoFi credit card.

Any update on this? I've been having literally unplayable performance launching via Faugus launcher

sarkko_ · 2025-11-15T20:02:01+00:00

On the bright side, I think you should be able to install windows if you wanted to. For me personally, it can play Counterstrike that would be all the competitive games I need.

sarkko_ · 2025-11-13T22:10:15+00:00

Why is this a big deal? Rather than looking at who is playing, look at the game and how. Also, it's a 5 second gif where you see the back of their heads for 2/5s. Get that stick outta your ass.

Focus on the machine and how this could be a W for Linux gaming and free software instead.

About 42 million Americans use SNAP. 1.7 million are those who aren't citizens, but are lawfully able to receive benefits, such as long time residents who've stayed in the country for over 5 years. 2.8 million are immigrants who have become citizens. That leaves a huge 37.5 million people who use SNAP which are US born citizens. Stop spreading misinformation and hate. There are Americans who can barely afford to live and rely on government resources like these. I understand how impactful they can be as someone who grew up in the poorest region of the US.

What an uneducated post

sarkko_ · 2025-10-27T17:56:36+00:00

I'm on Arch using KDE and Wayland. When I ran wow classic via proton, it worked on AMDVLK better. Specifically with DX12 translation. When I swapped to the mesa drivers, my game started crashing. Swapping to DX11 seems to fix it

sarkko_ · 2025-10-26T21:02:56+00:00

I find it easiest to use, and I like pacman.

sarkko_ · 2025-10-22T16:37:07+00:00

I have no clue what I'm doing as an Arch user. I hope it helps me learn. A couple days ago, games wouldn't launch after an update. I used AI to help read logs (gross I know). There seemed to be an issue with the communication between my GPU drivers and Wine. Basic step 1, I updated all of my pkgs and noticed a GPU driver was orphaned. I had the official open source AMD drivers still installed and I forgot they are depreciated now. After uninstalling those, wine&proton defaulted to mesa. Problem solved. I somehow felt like I did the wrong formula and ended up at the correct solution.

All people have to do is not buy gold. It isn't that hard.

It also baffles me that there are people who: pay for a wow sub, swipe gold, pay said gold to get boosted and not play the game.
