As I understand it it’s the anti-cheat that is the problem. If this is the only problem there is essentially only two possible ways to get Fortnite running in Linux:
Since a major part of anti-cheat systems is preventing people circumventing it I would say that the easiest path would be getting epic to support Linux. One valid argument would be to play Fortnite on Steamdeck .
I’m pretty sure it has been proved that the weapons supplied by the US dismisses the importance of Putin.
Essentially it only moves the borders of the partitions and “repairs” the filesystem inside each affected partition.
If there is data in an area inside the partion you are manipulating gparted has to move the data to an area inside the partition that is unaffected or move it to the new parts of the partition. This can take a long time even if modern PCs easily move 100MB/s
Also, even if gparted is mature software and the devs probably have implemented a lot of security measures you should always backup your data before manipulating the partitions. Especially when you’re playing around with filesystems that aren’t native like NTFS or more complicated filesystems like ZFS. I know people often nag about this but trust me… Blow 2TB of your data and you really really regret not spending 10 minutes backing up the essentials.
I’ve been using gparted for as long as I can remember and only once or twice has it caused dats loss. Since I’m very old school (started playing with PCs when 386DX 16MHz was fairly hot and RLL disks were a thing) and nerdy I was able to use data rescue software that looked for filesystems over the whole disk and guessed where partition borders should be.
Avoid this type of anxiety by backing up all data or at least backing up the data you can’t live without.
Also, if you have a spare disk, it’s faster and much safer to partition the spare one and just clone each partition. Sometimes it’s even faster to clone the disk this way and then clone it back.
I'd rather have to open up stuff my self then have an uninvited visitor doing it without me knowing about it.
While high speed trains reach speeds up to around 350kmh ordinary trains reach speeds up to around 250kmh.
So while high speed trains can go about 50% faster than ordinary trains the price tag for building and maintaining is many times more expensive compared to ordinary railway.
So let's start maintaining the railways we have and build more. Making sure that it's possible to go from point A to point B safely and in time
Then we start building high speed railways, connecting major cities.
W2k was awesome. Great stability. However, the legacy from Windows NT meant that applications had no direct access to hardware which games of that time required.
That was a showstopper for most users outside the enterprise world.
Slovakia will ending their support for Ukraine isn't a problem as to what will happen when the US and EU stops supporting Slovakia.
The amount of money the US and EU has poured into Slovakia the last ten twenty years is far from insignificant.
If Slovakia decides to stop believing in Europe then Europe will stop believing in Slovakia.
It's a well known fact that every second major release of Windows is crap.
I thought the new upgrade scheme (2 editions per year) Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 would be like "every second release will suck" but it started to look like Microsoft were able to break the curse…
…and then Windows 11 happened.
Yup. Just like my Nexus 10. Even though no one loves it I still do…
We do but Illuminati made sure it’s only available to about 1% of the population…
It seems that you think something can’t be bad if there’s something else that’s worse.
You bringing up things that doesn’t even share a similar context is either plain stupid or very deliberate.
I’m voting for the latter.
By the way… You do agree that the Russian aggression against Ukraine is caused by Russia attacking Ukraine and that Russia have a deliberate strategy of killing civilians in Ukraine, right?
What statement do you mean is untrue?
Old timer here.
In the old days Microsoft essentially conquered the web by creating specialized features only available for their web browser.
This is the reason why we still suffer with IE compatibility mode in Edge. A lot of corporations still have systems that rely on clients being IE compatible.
Google essentially does the same with their services and Chrome.
In Sweden, where I live, the equivalent of FDA (I guess) says that firm cheese is fine too eat as long as you cut off 2 cm from the moldy part.
Unfortunately this is coming and a majority of people are going to happily step on to the train.
Think of it like this: 99% of all apps could have been just web apps in a mobile browser (Hell, a majority essentially are just a wrapped web app) but because of companies offering more/better functionality people choose to use the app.
All that needs to happen is sites starting require DRM functionality for “security reasons” so that the end user can enjoy more features.
A majority of end users don’t understand the implications when making choices like these.
Remember that when you Google solutions, check the date on the results you get. A posted solution on Reddit from 2018 might not be adequate for your situation.
Grub is a bootloader. Instead of starting Windows immediately when you turn on the computer there is a program called grub that is started. In grub you get a menu where you can choose what OS, Windows or Linux, you want to start.
Now, Microsoft doesn’t like that because in their world there is only one OS so why would you even need to choose? 😉 So what Windows does sometimes is to remove Grub and make sure the computer starts directly into windows.
If this happens you just Google and you will find how to boot up on your Linux DVD/USBstick and run some commands to get the menu (Grub) back.
I second number 4.
Since Microsoft does what Microsoft does you might run into trouble with not being able to boot Linux after the first time you bored into windows again. It’s not a biggie. Google solutions and you will be able to restore Grub easily.
I run dual boot and I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. Best of two worlds.
Care to elaborate?
So it is a conflict and not a “special military operation”?
