I’m so excited for a good ARM machine for Linux. The battery life will be insane

What happened with WD? I’ve never had a drive from them go bad but I’d like to switch if that’s going to change

You can install Linux on a flash drive to test it out. Or spend $50 on a SSD and just have both

I had similar problems at the height of my addiction to that game. I should thank them for breaking things that I liked, because they freed me

Red Alert 2 works on Linux if you’re willing to jump through hoops

cracktorio. I had to uninstall it

Lol true. I had to mute the meme communities. Felt like a thrift store of 2012 Facebook memes

I consider most content on Facebook owned sites to be useless spam.

We do this all the time. Email providers block millions of domains for spam.

Flooding it with minions memes

I really need to get a Windows 98 PC for the same reason

Yeah the issue is the tools. They’re what I have a hard time with in the VMs. I have no idea why

It can but it’s already a headache to get the tools running, and adding in the VM layer can add more headaches.

Usually the compatibility patches make the games work in the VM, but the map editors and modding tools had a lot of issues last time I tried.

The tooling around those games was incredibly barbones so there are probably a lot of hacks going on that the VM wasn’t properly stimulating.

The simple solution here is to just move on and play a game that isn’t old enough to drink, lol.

I don’t think you understand how zealous C&C fans are. Some of us have entire XP machines with CRT monitors just to play the game in its purest form. We’re about as culty as Linux.

But it’s also not just one program, it’s all the c&c games, their map editors, mod loaders, and any modding tools. World builder is just an example.

Because I need Windows to run old C&C games. Get Generals world builder working on Linux and I’ll delete my dual boot

Oh I’m not brave enough for politics.

Ironically enough Reddit was sustainable before they did the redesign, to chase profits, and caused their costs to balloon.

80% reduction is crazy! Good job!
