You have to have the original game files either from the disk or downloaded from GoG or steam. Then you need tes3mp which runs great on linux and windows. I personally play on a server called neravarine prophecies, they have seasonal events and the community is a lot of fun. It uses the same engine as openMW so most of the mods that work on OpenMW are compatible, I’d stick with cosmetics to keep the servers you join compatible.

Different servers have different rules, many of them forbid going into areas that cause server crashes, i.e. mornhould.

I had a blast, then I got my kids to play and i was there to guide them a bit when the game gets tough.

After seeing the one where they slam Dan’s face with a ball and you see his skull moving under his skin I realized there can be entire fields of study around insanely fast cameras. What we see in real time doesn’t even compare. Also the one where Gav shows how CRTs work is still my favorite.

Morrowind, there are some great multi player communities.

Mindustry, sometimes i just listen to the machines.

pretty much any console game on emulators, recently playing ffvii again while i wait for rebirth pc port.

shattered pixel dungeon.

i think this is what made it unfun, not the difficulty but the fact that you have to die a few times to even see what you’re supposed to do and it was aggravating way early in the game. Also I’m not a fan of the difficulty stemming from the controls being hard to use, like when you’re carrying stuff.

I keep picking this game up and putting it back down. It’s beautiful but I just can’t get into it.

most of us that gave up windows did so because it had tons of issues. Don’t act like windows is flawless, MS stopped putting in work.

ugh, I’m glad i’ve moved on from IT but I’ve had many arguments with ‘security managers’ about some bogus qualys findings. If the CVE is that a user could do a thing in an unexpected way, but they have permission to do the thing that is a bug not a vulnerability. IMO It’s only a vulnerability if someone that is not allowed to do something can do the forbidden thing.

yes, i think they’re working on support for custom games though

can you launch it from the command line and see if it spits out any useful info before the crash?

is it all GoG games or just this game? afaik each game script can be different.

Just for clarification, were you able to read the card from this machine before?

I had a similar issue where my SD card reader was not able to read a card with a newer standard like SDXC or whatever it was and i had to find a newer reader.

So they ‘invented’ moving video from a small device to a large device in 2010? That’s a dumb patent and they are trolls. I hate google, but patents like that are stupidly vague and stifle progress.

Based on your needs any distro is probably fine. They’re pretty much all free, i don’t think you’ll find a better answer from internet randos than just booting from live usb and trying them out. I use arch btw.

I just had the opposite problem, tried to re-image a brand new laptop with windows 10, keyboard and mouse dont work in setup. Works in the bios, works in linux, doesn’t work in windows until it can hit windows update. Honestly in recent years stuff in linux just works.

I guess my point is they made an easily accessible experience that is not frustrating to use for the average user which will help dispell the belief that linux is hard to use or that gaming is only for windows. They provided a console like experience and made it hard for normies to break it. You’re free to install silverblue on the thing. Personally i’ll probably re-image with arch later but for my use so far I haven’t really have to change anything. I haven’t run into an issue that couldn’t be solved with a flatpak yet.

They’ve made my life more enjoyable for reasonable cost, they bring vast amounts of resources to open source projects, and they deliver a platform that the least technical of people can use an enjoy. You’re free to say they are not your friend, but i won’t make perfect the enemy of good.

While what you say is true it is also irrelevant to OPs question. SUSE is a corporation, so is canonical, so is mozilla’s corporate wing. can you clarify what your point was, pal?

edit: ah, i used the word corporate, fair point then. I meant in the sense of vendor lock to defacto standards rather than ‘corporate bad’.

SteamOS is making huge strides for adoption, i look forward to more people being freed from corporate lock in.

Best sleep I’ve ever had after buying my pillow servers. I use arch btw.
