  • My wifes old laptop died and I got an ancient gaming laptop from a colleague and put Linux Mint on it. It works great.

    She uses it for studying and some light gaming (Stardew Valley). It just works. She never used Linux before but had zero issues using it and she even said its just like Windows, just faster.






  • Does it give you multiple options for a route? Like fastest/using least petrol/no tolls, etc?

    I am currently using Google maps and waze most of the time and tried Organic maps for a while for a more privacy focused option, but it only gives you one option, no alternatives of similar length/time.

    Edit: nevermind, just downloaded it and it does offer alternatives. Looking good as well, will definitely test it, thank you!



  • Recently switched to Linux Mint.

    There are really just a couple extra steps to set up Linux for gaming. In my opinion it takes less time to install proton ge, Lurtis or Heroic than downloading and installing GPU drivers on windows:)

    For 90% I just download the game via Steam and enable Proton GE (if its not native) and play it straight away.

    In some cases if Im not happy with performance I check the Proton DB page to see what settings/proton version/launch commands other people are using and that solves it 9 out of 10.

    If you have GoG, Uplay, Epic, etc games just use Heroic or Lutris. Again, first time setup can take 20-30 min using a video tutorial, but after that its all good to go.





  • Smoking, drinking and gambling never ends well. Stay away from addictions.

    Don’t try to proof how manly you are to your friends/girls. It rarely pays off. Its ok to have a veggie dish at the restaurant instead of a bloody steak. Its ok to not speed with your car to look cool. Its ok to wear whatever the fuck you want as long as you like it, it fits well and its practical for you. Do what you like and be proud of it.

    Always save time for your hobbies. Growing up doesn’t means you can’t have fun. If you are in a relationship make sure your partner gives you enough space and time for yourself.
