Ahh, thank you. Will try that as well

Yeah, I am finding I like snaps less and less, tho I do like the sandbox aspect (her grandson will be using this system from time to time so I feel some sand boxing would be appropriate). will I need to manually update her ff if its an appimage? The only appimage I am using right now is WLX overlay and other than “everything is there” I don’t recall if it will update itself.

it is Firefox(snap), she only has her account with the official site, not the steam version, I did find that wonderful script for ESO in lutris. I was just suggested gamescope to look at as well

She does close it as even on windows she found it made the system laggy, and it appears hardware acceleration is on in firefox but I think the snap is installed (thought I installed the flatpak same install on my system), every setting is the same as mine.

Oh nice, just read the page. I haven’t installed steam on her system yet as she doesn’t need it, she is running through lutris and this looks like it will work. I will definitely test this on sat when she isn’t home, thanks

I’ll need to dig deeper, but she is guarding her pc like a mother lion guarding a cub. I ran the commands - vainfo, vdpauinfo, and vulkaninfo | grep VK_KHR_video_ only vulkaninfo kicked back what it should have. I tried the same commands on my system with the same results and we are using the proprietary Nvidia driver NVIDIA driver (open kernel) metapackage 580 (proprietary, tested) only on her system it doesn’t say “device using recomended driver” so I need to find the recommended one for her but she is in the middle of minecraft and youtube and doesn’t want to reboot now, hopefully sat I can when she is at work

I was smart(mostly), tested everything on other systems, my laptop has a similar gpu, and left her an escape valve by buying a new m.2 and putting the old one in storage.

We been together 20 yrs, she trusts me. Maybe she turns into a stocking wearing cat-girl… hehe

Yes, shes been playing since launch

We are both running Kubuntu 24.04 with kde desktop. Oh, she can run minecraft and watch yt no problem. ESO is through lutris

Heading home soon, will check it. Thanks

Thats beautiful. mines been watching me for about 5 months game and everything else. Today she is setting up ESO and the addons and may poke around to personalize her system. Bonus, as I removed her windows drive, she found some files she didn’t know she had but really wanted. Tonight we get the last bits setup. I forgot that the nvme in her system, my old pc from 5 years ago, only had a 120gb capacity I replaced it with a 1TB nvme

unless they need kernel level anticheat, the rest should work. just demonstrate how well your system runs these apps and that should help. just be ready to be their on-call tech hehe

Yeah, once the hardware issue is covered we are golden. She has about 90% of what she needs now, tonight we fix the rest, like programming the buttons on her g13. ESO and Mc installed no problem, Minion was a bit til I got flatpak going, should be fun tonight finishing it all off

Oh, my teaching of the file system is (and the video does it nicely) these are your folders, these are not your folders just like in windows hehe once i finish the last touches she won’t really know she is on linux

nice :)

thats the one, ty, I just hope it works on her chinese knock off hehe. the mouse and standard buttons work fine so far

oh nice, I will go down the zfs rabbit hole one day, but not today hehe thank you

Oh yeah! Meant to do that on mine, ext4 is what I am using, but yeah she will get btrfs as timeshift suggested it when I finally activated it last month

If I had gone with mint I would have brought her on it as well as it is easier for me to support what I am using, tho if I were to set her up and then never help mint is the way. The only DEs I really used ever were Gnome and KDE, I did play briefly with XFCE and another one I can’t remember from the early 00s

edit: forgot to thank you for the offer of assistance

lol
