If I wasn’t already partnered this list would bother me

I’m using my last month of Game Pass before switching to Linux. I just want to thank everybody here and Lemmy wide for being so friendly and helpful about all things Linux. You guys have taken out all the stress and worry from the transition

Is this one of Tina’s fantasies?

I quit using shops years ago because they all ended up being paywalled. It’s been shown time and time again that ‘unrelated donations’ is not a loop hole. Most shops weren’t even unrelated. You had to donate an undumped game or eshop credit towards one. I understand obtaining the games in the first place isn’t free, but taking money for anything Nintendo related is a bad move, and will be seen as selling their copyrighted material in a court of law

I’m also not ashamed to say, I pirate to get free shit. You start charging, I’ll put in more effort to get it for free. There are ways to run your own shop, which I did for a while, but I got tired of messing with the network and just used USB install over DBI for the most part

Awesome, I appreciate the help

Perfect, thank you!

Is setting up a VM in Linux any different than doing it in Windows? Would I just copy the files over when it is finished?

Are these launchers that provide a wrapper similar to Steam and Proton? Do you recommend one over the other, or is it dependent on game?

Awesome, thanks for the info and heads up

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but I don’t want to start a new one for a related question. I understand I will probably have to wipe or partition my primary drive, but will I be able to use my other drives as-is, and have access to all of my files and things?

I got scared for a second, I love Sunshine. I don’t think I will have much need for it in my current situation unfortunately

Is dual booting as simple as loading the Windows OS off of a drive in the BIOS?

In caveman days exchanging fire was a good thing

Alright, I don’t have anything capable of HDR so that is no worries. No (intrusive) anticheat, no game pass. I’m sure a few random games have issues. Doesn’t sound like it should be a big deal though. Thank you

That’s what I was thinking but I just wanted to make sure. I really appreciate all the help

I fucking love none pizza with left beef. Sometimes I randomly think about it and just start laughing

Thanks! I didn’t even think to look for a compatibility list. I’m quick to check them for emulators, but it didn’t even cross my mind

Thanks for the help. I’m not fond of invasive a anticheat as it is, played like 10 minutes of Fortnite when it was a survival game, and I’m sure I can use the high seas to get around game pass. I’ll have to check a couple of specific games, but I think I might be pretty good to go

This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn’t matter if my friends are on Windows, right?

I’m mentally preparing for the switch. Would you mind naming some of the games keeping you on Windows?

You should overcomplicate this. That solid chunk of chocolate at the bottom is the best part. If I’m being honest, I think a choco taco is just a drumstick in taco form
