no thats the thing, steam works without a problem. it is only when i do it NOT through steam where i get issues.

but i play mainly on windows anyway, i just wanted to try it out a bit out of boredom and got surprisingly good results.

i just wait how the windows kernel restrictions influence kernel level anti cheat, and depending on the result i may switch to full linux again if kernel AC breaks and devs are forced to use “normal” AC again

Yeah it’s just games🤷 if push comes to shive i can just reinstall 'em i was just confused by the difference in behaviour depending wether the system or steam mounts it

This could very well be the anwser. there are in fact c: and z: in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/pfx/dosdevices

although i couldn’t find an indicator that those are actually in use when launching a game through steam

Ah ok i think i get why it doesn’t work through the auto mount, but i still don’t understand why it works completely fine if i mount it through steam? What is different when steam mounts it?

I am running arch and Firefox and i can confirm i am miserable.

I love it tho

That i see enemies. On larger maps i run around for a minute only to get killed from behind or something. On shipment there are only so many places an enemy can be. Also it’s a good map to run melee on.

Yeah i just used one of those paid apps which had a trial version for 3 free downloads

I downloaded it on amazon prime on my phone, then pulled the files onto my laptop via Android debug bridge with root privileges

Well i would likely use that again in the future also I don’t want to be unable to use my pc for a whole movie duration

well you see i want a not so well known movie in a specific languge. i couldnt find it anywhere in that language but prime video happens to have said movie in said language. so i thought “hey i already have prime anyway so why not try to get it that way”

What is i2p?

Well that is one yes. There are more than just one

Why? There a non gnu linux distros

I just have none at all

However i have a recovery phone number and gave them my payment information so theres that

It works well enough for my game drive. At least i have yet to encounter any problem

So i normally go with ext4, however windows can’t really access ext4 drives so you’d need to find a file system that both support if you want to access the drive/partition from windows. My drive with all the games is ntfs for example which works in Windows and Linux. (At least for normal storage, idk if you can boot linux from it although i wouldn’t see why not)

I assume this continues the boot process even if a drive is not found or something? Because if so you just solved another unrelated issue of mine while also saving me from ½ - 1 hour of troubleshooting/researching

I installed windows on an external drive for gaming. Now my arch install is stuck at a start job for some drive, wich causes it to time out and not boot completely. Couldn’t be assed to fix it yesterday.

Also i installed nvim in windows for exactly that

I actually like this bot even tho i have seen more people hate than love it

I actually don’t know how that happened. It was either a youtube video: when linux met r/unixporn or my privacy & freedom concerns that suddenly appeared in like the span of a week
