Oof. I didn’t realise that and _assumed it was some new fancy hardware.
My original comment still stands though. The HWE (hardware enablement) kernels on Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu/Mint are your best bet when it comes to new or obscure hardware. They link extra drivers into the kernel and have patches to fix issues you normally wouldn’t encounter, basically stuff they won’t include in the mainstream kernel for the sake of stability or whatever. I always used these kernels before I migrated to Fedora because the extra keyboard buttons on my laptop wouldn’t work otherwise.

It all depends on the context to be honest. I’ve found that tech people, outside of professional contexts are generally a lot more helpful. Things are different at work.

That’s exactly how protondb works. And you also get hardware and distro information.
You can search and filter reports by all of the aforementioned criteria for any game that’s listed.

Did this happen to you in particular? Most tech oriented people (and Linux users by extensions) are generally chill

I don’t see anyone being toxic here except you so far. If it bothers you so much, just add “Linux” as a keyword to your block filter on whatever client you use to access Lemmy. Easy fix

He single-handedly changed a lot of people’s impression of Linux with a single video, and he did it gently enough to not intimidate and scare them away like many others did. I respect that.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 5 days ago:
Don’t use the stock kernel. Use the HWE one if you want newer hardware to work on Ubuntu and its derivatives like Mint.
Or try a Fedora live-usb and see if it works with the newer kernels.

Tbh I’m against the full on map idea since it would ruin and demystify/trivialise the aspect of exploration, but maybe they could have made it so that the scanner room HUD chip UI was actually useful and displayed any kind of distance indicator. Often times I’d be scanning for limestone chunks for example. Now my HUD is full of circles that all have the exact same radius and no indication of distance, just a vague direction, and it’s so frustrating to work with that.
They could have added some sort of compass as well. They chose not to.
I wish they implemented something like No Man’s Sky’s non-intrusive HUD, which conveys both heading and distance at the same time in a super nice way.

You’re not alone. As much as I love that game, the absolute lack of direction is one of my biggest gripes with it, right along with the atrocious inventory system.
You’d think someone who manages to build a fricking atomic submarine and a mech suit would be able to pinpoint relevant tech on the go somehow but no. Also you get a scanning room that can pinpoint little pebbles a kilometre away but is it helpful? Nope. Just another half-baked gameplay element that was never developed beyond the initial concept.
So yeah, your concerns are absolutely valid. Anyone who played this game would agree. But maybe that’s why I personally love the game. Clunky and beautiful, frustrating but once you find that thing you’ve been looking for, a bit rewarding too.

Then you forgot the /s
So, what other fix is there to avoid this besides removing windows?
Editing the registry, using a debloater, I can think of a few things. Even downgrading/reinstalling Windows could be an option.
Your blanket “remove windows” solution is just trolling at this point

I’ve been a Linux enthusiast since 2010, I went all the way and started to daily drive it since 2013 after I got pissed at windows for destroying my dual booting setup for the umpteenth time, but it wasn’t a simple decision by any means.
I adore Linux and I love promoting it to people; but unlike you, I don’t to force it down their throat with asinine comments like these. Give pertinent advice or GTFO. Do you expect people to uproot their OS/environment and everything they’re used to based on your casual comment or what?
Stop making people oppose Linux on principle and stop making more Linux haters with obnoxious comments like these.
