  • Yeah that’s a fair criticism. I can see how it would be polarising. Personally, I don’t mind a bit of slap and tickle in books and I think it thematically fits the hyper-individualist universes in each series.

    Megan O’Keefe’s Protectorate Trilogy is a fun read that reminds me a bit of Hamilton’s writing without all the sex.




  • This is a weird one, but read up on folder structures. If you’ve used MacOS at all then the logic is very similar. However if you’re coming from a pure windows background then it can get confusing figuring out where everything gets put when you install applications or need to make changes to config files.

    The Pop desktop environment and search works well the vast majority of the time but it’s handy to know how to find you’re way around when you hit a roadblock.






  • Ah, I think that is a windows drive with games on it. I originally was using Pop OS and tried to boot games directly from that drive before learning that you had to do a fresh install of them in Linux.

    After a certain point that drive no longer appeared on Pop and it doesn’t show in fedora at all. Possibly the path got corrupted.

    I still have pop installed to the same drive that I’m booting fedora from. I’ll try wiping that part of the partition and see if it fixes it.

    Thank you that helps me narrow it down as I was struggling to interpret the boot log.








  • Pop OS worked straight out of the box with the Nvidia driver build BUT it’s using an old version of Gnome desktop environment so doesn’t have support for HDR or VRR. Pop is based on Ubuntu so all the Debian and Ubuntu terminal commands will be familiar.

    Fedora is leading edge and so long as you opt in for non-open source drivers works with Nvidia and runs HDR and VRR in KDE (haven’t used the Gnome version).

    Haven’t tried any other distros but Bazzite seems well recommended.

    Lutris is the recommended software for non-steam games. If you search for that and Sims/EA you should be able to find out if it’ll work for you.

    I only use windows now for sim racing and Vr, but I also don’t play online games with anti-cheat. Linux seems pretty stable and I’ve found it easy to use.
