Use Bottles with the Sandbox option enabled (and sound enabled). So, native performance but without access to files outside the Wine prefix (virtual Windows folder where the game is installed) and without network access. This way, you don’t have to worry about games phoning home, containing a crypto miner or ransomware.

Also, forget about FitGirl repacks on Linux, most don’t unpack correctly.

Yeah, this took a bit of time and patience. But now I have all the tail weapons.

Walk backwards in medium distance to trigger its flight attack where it swoops down at you. Dodge to the side, run near the tail and quickly roll underneath it, far enough to stand still on the other side for a moment. The last part is important, if done correctly, the dragon will always try to crush you with its tail. You should be near it, but not take damage. Now you can get a few easy hits on the tail.

I’m using both Boost apps, Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. This way, I can only differentiate the networks by their post quality.

Reddit is bad to mediocre, full of memes and karma farming

Lemmy has few posts, but feels closer to the user

Dark Souls: Remastered

Currently in NG+ and recording all the bosses for YouTube. This game even offers native ultrawide support! My final rating will probably be 4/5, many boss fights are just too easy, even on NG+ (except DLC).

Change is always hard, be it Windows 7 to Windows 10 or 11. The German company Tuxedo Computers has pretty nice Linux laptops for beginners and professionals, this is what made the change easier for my parents: http://tuxedocomputers.com/ They even offer RTX 4090 custom laptop builds, but for the screens they still have no OLED option when I looked the last time.

Lawyers and politicians.

I’m so hyped!

This would be terrible, because any website could potentially make you a seeder for „illegal“ content while normally browsing the web without a VPN. Meaning, your real IP address may accidentally be recorded by some lawerers and you’ll get a fine for whatever you accidentally shared (very dangerous, depending on country).

There are already solutions for webtorrents, but at least these scripts can be blocked.

Der Prozess (1915) by Franz Kafka, it still is relevant today.

Easily the scariest was „Amnesia: The Dark Descen“ (2010).

Beborn Beton – Truth (Album)

Displays/screens, especially OLED these days. My phone screen uses this technology, my smartwatch, my tablet and my Alienware ultrawide PC monitor for gaming and movies.

Most Lego games. It’s like a physical pain to me, NOT to 100 % them.

You don’t have to, just get it from flathub as a flatpak.

Why the hassle? It is available to install as flatpak for any distro: https://flathub.org/apps/com.makemkv.MakeMKV

I did install it via package manager back when I used this distro and it worked well, but some weeks after, I switched distros to Kubuntu. Now I’m using Arch btw. with latest KDE Plasma (I recommend this).

Windows XP on a laptop. Then Windows 7 on a new laptop. After that, Windows 10 and Windows 11 on desktop and another new laptop.

Tried Debian on my laptop. Later, switched completely to Linux Mint on desktop. Distro-hopped to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma). Wanted to get Plasma 6 immediately after release, so I installed EndeavourOS on my desktop and laptop.

Now switched to pure Arch Linux on my desktop PC, didn’t boot Windows on any of my private PCs for months (no dual boot, only GPU passthrough VM).

Here is a comment I made in another thread:

For pirated games, I recommend Bottles installed as a flatpak. That’s because it has a per-game toggle for sandboxing the app, not giving it access to your complete home folder and optionally no network access or audio output.

Even when using trusted sources, you can never be safe enough. Bottles with sandboxing will at least protect your files from crypto trojans and prevent you from becoming part of a botnet. It should not have any impact on performance.

Remember to put all installer files anywhere inside the prefix folder, otherwise sandboxing denies access to them. After creating an empty game entry in Bottles, check the 3 dots menu for the option to open it in your file explorer.
