Microsoft: So, what are you going to do about it? Stop using Windows? Hah!

Thanks! I'll try to understand the concept of deadzone. I have Minecraft, this should be perfect!

Alto's Adventure and Alto's Odyssey are excellent

Stardew Valley can be stress inducing if you are that type of player.

  • "Let me do a bit of fishing on the beach OH FCK it's already 1 AM. Intense cardio session towards my house before JoJo employees steal 1000G."
  • "I need to give Demetrius a gift by the end of the day. WHERE TF ARE YOU ROAMING ABOUT? Come take your gift!"
  • "Let me visit the shop for some seeds. WHO THE HELL CLOSES SHOP on a Wednesday? Am I the only one working in this town?"
  • "Marnie TF you closing shop at 3 PM! My chickens need hay and you are frolicking in the bar"

I am currently playing Stray which doesn't require fast movement. It's slightly helping me ease into 3D movements.

It’s like coming from gamepad to arcade sticks, when playing fighting games

I'd maybe argue that this jump is not so severe but I get your point. I'll try Doom though. I saw a couple of Doom 1-inspired games this year. I can try those.

Actually I find it exciting to learn new stuff like this and am a little bit jealous

I am enjoying the process but sometimes it's a bit frustrating. Certain scenarios which I know are super easy on PC are a struggle. Hitting far-away targets on Risk of Rain 2, which i just flick and shoot on PC, are too difficult :(

I will keep up the grind through.

Stardew Valley + Stray + Dead cells + Ori and the Blind Forest, all on my Steam Deck.

Yes I play multiple games in case I get bored. No, I don't have ADHD.

I'm seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don't want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

Also, I'm a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?

This is not me. But the kinds of people I'm encountered in my social circle. I'm in the CS/Research industry, so all my tools are linux compatible and have been a Linux user for the past decade.

I think it's better to have a realistic expectation of Linux rather than consider it a 1:1 Windows alternative. I agree with your last para fully.

  • Adobe Creative Suite. They will probably never release a Linux version
  • Industry standard music production s/w
  • Offbeat collection of educational/research s/w, creators of which don't know that Linux exists. They sometimes don't even support MacOS
  • Office Suite which is compatible with MS Office shenanigans
