You can check ProtonDB for specificerar games compatability. Most games from steam just install and run as usual. But other launchers and some games with anti-cheat can be a bit more wonky to get running or just dont work at all.

Personally WSL has always been riddled with issues for me. I mainly used it for dev things before I switched to linux entirely. Recently I came back to Windows to try some of AMDs new graphics driver features and decided to try out WSL 2. Hell, Windows fucks up so much basic shit in there, i couldnt even run ‘git init’ because some permission issue with drive mounting. Had to move my entire project to a separate drive just to make it work. The way Windows handles the filsystem, permissions and “cross-OS” functionality is so weird and always results in some issue, making the Linux experience feel significantly more wonky than it needs to be. Performance is also a pain, since i had to love my project to a disk that was not part of WSL reading and writing files in VS Code becomes significantly slower.

I have a pretty high end rig and even my PC runs slow when using WSL, its great to have an option for linux in windows but when a docker container or even just a VirtualBox machine performs better than WSL i have no fucking clue why youd use it.

Thanks for listening to my rant. Take it with a grain of salt ig, maybe im just incompetent and doing something very wrong.

They were in-house but the local dev team were not working with them. Work force in that country was cheaper so i just got fired shortly after :)

Me maintaining an old codebase and implementing features for months before boss shows up one day and says the 60 remote workers have been working on an identical project which will be the one we actually use. Bruh wtf

Very valid. I really enjoy it so far. No matter what browser im on i always spend a new minutes setting everything up. Might actullly harden this some extra. Probably wont get close to librewolf levels but i night be fine with that depending on much i manage to fix.

I found out they have a compact mode which completely hides the sidebar until you move your cursor to the edge. I didnt personally like it but maybe thats something for you?

Same at my new place, i tend to take a shorter lunch and leave earlier, i usually get into office at 8am or slightly before

This looks very bandy. Thanks allt for the link!

They do seem to be talking a lot about privacy for not having done anything. And i think they mentioned having disabled most of Firefox default telemetry and such. I will have to double check that when i get ho.e though.

This is very valid but in our case we dont really store any important data on the computer. We make digital timetable signs for bus stops and train stations, the computers we build and put inside are just a base image we flash onto the disk and set hostname and IP on. Then they all connect and set themselves up via our servers and pull any displayed data from our actual main servers.

In this case its sad that it didnt actually restart, that means our client has to drive out and deassemble the entire sign. But it seems to be a failing disk so it had to be replaced either way.

I would use the man pages but my working laptop uses Windows and since the system died i dont have any way to check them until I get home.

Thank you a lot for the answer though, that does explain a lot!

Pascal or camel case for code, snake case for files and screaming snake case for globals

Just started a new job last week. Ive been in the industry for 3 years so not completely junior but getting in to a new codebase is always rough. Especially when only 1 huge library file is documented, every component is cluttered af and most variables and parameter names are 1 character long.

Doesnt help that functions are 100 lines either when each the parameter names makes the logic incomprehensible.

Will update the original post but I solved it. Apparently there’s specific gamepad settings inside of Wootility under Settings > Gamepad. There you have to select what type of controller the software will emulate. I just took the recommended (Xbox Controller) and now it works as expected.

The keyboard itself is fine if I use regular mappings, however in the wootility software they provide (yes they have an official linux version) you can map controller inputs to your keys. So for example I can map (emulate) controller joystick left input to my A key to emulate the analog signal. These does not seem to register in-game. Other key inputs work fine.

What youre describing sounds alot like Grayjay

Not related but I’ve had some dual booting issues aswell. Turns out that the drives mounted in Linux didn’t properly unmount on shutdown so when trying to access them on Windows they wouldn’t be accessible.

Just some info for anyone that might be having issues

This goes hard

What KDE/Kwin version do you use? Would be interesting to compare.

Edited the original post but might aswell comment it. I switched to GNOME (Wayland) and the FPS issue seems to be gone there. I ran the game with only the command line arguments “gamemoderun %command%” in steam and it seems to work properly. Very odd issue.
