Even though I think it’s generally frowned upon to use, I use GRUB Customizer from the Discover Store, and change the theme to a Fallout style one, if that would be easier for you to use!

I’ve had one or two hiccups when updating openSUSE Tumbleweed. Once was just a normal update, back then I was doing it weekly since I basically only game on my desktop, but it completely broke my graphics for whatever reason. I have an NVIDIA GPU, so I attribute it to that.

Luckily, Tumbleweed has that snapper component, and I used it for the first time. Absolutely amazing I could just run that and then be back in a working state at the shake of a lambs tail. I just started updating monthly after that, and so far, no hiccups!

I kind of liked the installer, but that is because I am a huge Fallout fan and liked the black with green theme you could use when I installed it about a year ago… I am but a simple person… lol :P

I play games to have fun, which is the reason I don’t play multiplayer games (unless local). I also have a very limited amount of time to play games after work.

I cheat with WeMod on openSUSE Tumbleweed for every game I can. I’ve just recently beaten Resident Evil 2+3 and am currently on 4 right now, and am having a blast getting to play these games!

The number one reason I am having a blast is BECAUSE of the cheats. Every game is different for me, so I only use the cheats that will minimize the amount of time I have to do silly shit like collect X amount of this material or whatever other stupid grindy stuff they come up with that doesn’t respect my time as a player. Using the RE games as an example, I don’t turn on every single cheat. I don’t want to worry about inventory management (not fun to me, personally), so I turn on No Reload. This means my weapons will never need to be reloaded, which means more space in the inventory for the story important items. Win/Win for me. What I don’t do, for these games in particular, is use the infinite/god mode cheats. I still want to get damaged and try to recover if it happens, so I leave that one off.

People get… really fuckin’ weird when you talk about how much fun you have using cheats in a video game. “You can’t be having that much fun, or else you wouldn’t cheat!”, “You shouldn’t cheat on video games because it takes the fun away!”, “WOW, YOU NEED TO GET GUD SCRUB. ONLY LITTLE BABIES CHEAT IN VIDEO GAMES!!!111!!”. And here I am just having fun and completing game after game after game to get through my monumental Steam library. :P

I chuckled when I saw Manjaro of all things on there, and not my beloved OS of choice! lol

For real, though, openSUSE is truly something to rave about, as far as I am concerned! :)

Hey there! I ran across this comment and the subsequent thread and wanted to reach out to you!

WeMod (I will never call it Wand lol) can be used with Linux to varying degrees. I use this little project to play my games with WeMod.

I’m running openSUSE Tumbleweed, and have had a very high rate of success with using WeMod while on openSUSE. I’ve probably beaten about 20 games with them since last year when I made the move to openSUSE. Now, some games do not work right off the bat with it, and I’m not sure why.

If you have any troubles, please reach back out to me in a comment here, so that if we fix your issue, others might benefit too.

Cheers! :)

It’s okay openSUSE Tumbleweed. I still stan for you. ;P

YES. Exactly!

“Oh, what a WEIRDO for wanting to know about my insert obviously favorite thing / something they enjoy here!!!”

I’ve complimented peoples nails, their tattoos, their outfit/shoes, their accessory or any number of things you can think of that a normal person would consider a nice thing to be asked about, and even then some people just say thanks and then we sit there in silence when the door was wide open to say something, elaborate why the enjoy so and so, or ask something themselves.

That’s just the iceberg of course, I could rant and rave about the myriad of ways people are just so rude and/or self centered these days! It’s maddening, truly.

In a somewhat funny outcome, while I was reading into ways to become a better conversationalist (because I wanted to be better at it, since I never seemed to make friends very well LOL) everyone else was studying the book of “Isolationism, and You, the Main Character”.

I think the larger problem is that a huge portion of our planets current inhabitants don’t know how to have a conversation. I’ve tried so hard to have actual conversations to go deeper than “the weather/work/kids/etc.” It seems almost impossible to find someone who can not only think for themselves, but also think of something to CONTRIBUTE to the conversation.

It always goes like this (where I am from):

Me - (sees a few tattoos on their person) “I see you have some tattoos! Do they hold any special meaning to you, or did you just think they’d look good/cool? :)”

Them - “I just thought they were cool.”

Literally it. In the same position, even from someone who doesn’t like talking either, I would ask if the person asking about my tattoos has any. It’s really as simple as that for most people, or could be, I should say.

I stopped putting so much time into trying to open doors for actual conversation a few years ago when I realized people just don’t know how to talk to actual humans any more. It’s fucking weird.

*I understand some people have issues with social activities, and no harm done. This is a very common thing though, and I just don’t believe 90% of people who I have interacted with are those types of people, if you know what I mean?

He can’t read.

As she should. Reminds me of Gary Plauche, and he also did the correct thing.

AdGuard. Use it on my iPhone, and while it isn’t as good as my Pihole, it’s better than going in raw.

I’m so happy to see some big channels doing these Linux tests. I know it’s probably way more difficult since there are thousands of distros to try!

I don’t see it that way. I see south button means confirm, East means No. I get people grew up with the old Nintendo way, but for most people, where they are on the Xbox/PS layout is just better ergonomically.

That’s your preference. A vast majority of people prefer the Xbox/PS layout. Both are fine. I hate the Nintendo one either way.

If this isn’t enough to be clean, then I don’t know what is besides magma. Lol

The only layout I hate is Nintendos. At least with Xbox and PlayStation it’s:
A = X.
B = O.
Y = Triangle
X = Square

With Nintendo, they turn it all slightly and I absolutely hate it. It’s the only one that I have to retrain my brain/coordination for. When I play a Nintendo game through emulation (fuck Nintendo), I notice immediately when the controls didn’t properly migrate from my other games because now all of the sudden A is going back a menu. -.-

That is the parents job. The governments job is to make sure they have a decent education. They don’t, but that’s the actual idea.

I’m always a little shocked at what my browsing habits prevent from these types of things. Thanks for sharing! I feel a little better about my browsing usage!

I left last year around December because I realized how well my Steam Deck ran games. I’ve dabbled with Linux over 10 years now, but gaming really is the only thing I bought my desktop computer for. It has an NVIDIA GPU in it, so I was a little wary of messing my stuff up by installing openSUSE Tumbleweed, but I had a spare SSD from a laptop that finally gave out on me, and installed that into the desktop.

Color me surprised when I find out just how much better Linux is that day (and even today!) than it was all those years I had tentatively tried distros like PopOS/Manjaro/Fedora/Debian/ElementaryOS/etc!

I say this every time I talk about Linux now, but I actually love my computer and being on it again. With Windows, I just wanted it to get the hell out of my way and let me play my damn games (I have a very limited amount of time when I get home from work to do anything I want to do, babysitting my OS is not something I want to do with that limited time)! With openSUSE, I feel totally in control and have my system set up the way I want it to.

There were some things I definitely had to get used to, seeing as I never had to research issues I was having with Windows (never had a problem in the 20 years I’ve been using them, EXCEPT for Windows 8. That was a big piece of flaming garbage, as is Windows 11. 7 and 10 were okay for me though).

Since last year, I have had to login to Windows only to mod my games and move them back over to my Linux SSD (which Linux allows me to pull files from my Windows drive, and is SICK by the way!) and I think maybe play ONE single game because of those mods or A mod. Totally worth it, all said and done!

With Windows, it feels like I’m stepping into someone else’s home. With Linux, it feels like MY home. :-)
