Autism time.
So the biggest obstacle for me when I tried out Linux was installing stuff manually outside of steam and often steam itself wouldn't work which was probably a result of me not understanding how to setup dependencies etc. Maybe it's just because I've got more time to look through all of this but I think they might have changed a bit how Lutris works as well to be a bit more user friendly since I last checked. From my perspective I'd look at the damn interface and it felt like I was dealing with a virtual machine.
If I were sailing the high seas for example, how would I set everything up?
Yes, for the record I know it's not actually a virtual machine before the Linux autists rip me a new one but that's just my windows experience talking. I found it very confusing because I didn't know what files were where, if I wanted to for example put mods into Fallout 4 I wouldn't know where I could do it. How do you guys organise your files? What's your process for keeping track of multiple hard disks and naming conventions etc.?
Yes this is all really basic stuff by Linux user standards, but as a potential end user looking to give it a shot I thought it would be helpful having an up to date thread on this for people to spam information on because as it turns out there's a lot of out of date topics and videos I'm seeing floating around about this.
Off topic, but I'm curious, OP. Do you have your very own nemesis around here or something? I've never seen a comment or post from you that doesn't have at least one consistent downvote.
I don't know if it's a nemesis but it's usually some sperg(s) I've pissed off that decides to follow me around the site downvoting everything that pops up because they're that petty. It's not just me that this happens to as well because I chatted about this on meta and it seems you get internet spergs targeting other people as well. Eventually it does go away and sometimes they're making use of bots because they seem to think this is reddit.
Honestly I'm kind of used to it now, you wouldn't believe the crap I got back on reddit because I would often get very high karma posts for my MRA style standpoints when it comes to commentating on feminists and women generally. The white western women also really hated getting called on their privilege.
The biggest mistake though really I make is trying to even debate the reddit style spergs who write big fuck off walls of text and try to psycho-analyse you. That's annoying and it made me realise that mentality is starting to eek it's way here as reddit becomes more unusable.
Look in the mirror once in a while.
