I was using Pop_OS for a while, but I’ve recently been playing with EndevourOS again the past few months.
I think you’re right about the silent majority. This whole amplifying rage over thing is wild to see in real time. It’s scary how many people have Internet brain rot, check these ratios on most any push back to the rabid behaviour.
Are we even living in the same reality? Tech bros? They’re a bunch of goofy nerds.
I’ve tried this also. It works alright unless you write files in Windows, it will set the UID to the Windows SID. WHen you use a Steamlibrary and move back and forth, games that are updated in Windows can give you permission errors in LInux, etc.
It’s all workable and definitely an option, but WinBTRFS has a performance overhead, and the dualing permissions made it not a perfect solution.
Things really move fast in AI, huh
It was back working until a few days ago. I have faith they’ll figure out a solution

The NTFS warning is a little disingenuous. I wouldn’t recommend people go with it if they’re choosing Linux only obviously, but I’m going to say with years of personal testing about 99.9% of things work just fine using an NTFS drive. I think it’s been years since I had any kind of issue with game data that I attributed (and maybe falsely) at the time to the NTFS filesystem.
In steam you’ll need to symlink your compatdata folder to a linux filesystem, but that’s about it.

Wow, thanks. Testing this now
In my experience using something like
export KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1
export KWIN_X11_REFRESH_RATE=144000
export KWIN_X11_FORCE_SOFTWARE_VSYNC=1
would basically work in allowing the 60hz lock released from the 144hz main display, but it would still introduce tearing, especially on the secondary 60hz display.
With Wayland it’s an out of the box, tear free experience which is what I’m referring to.
I’m all caught up, and that’s my conclusion. This is a business with a lot of moving parts. What is the implication in all this? That Linus is incompetent, harmful, malicious, greedy? It’s all dumb drama, and I’m pretty disappointed in a lot of people all around in the way it was handled.
He’s on the offense, it’s a strategy. What’s his endgame, what are his motives? We’re hearing a lot of one side of the story. I’m naturally suspicious, and need way more information than everyone seems happy to run with.
See, this is all just an overly emotional / reactionary read to me. Right now everyone is in a echo chamber, it’s really odd from the outside looking in with everyone getting so worked up like this is the ulitmate sin. Steve is whipping everyone up into a hyperactive state for what endgame? I’m interested in what happens ultimately, but I’d be surprised if LTT does anything but continue to grow, and get better.
Pretty much this, nothing on his knowledge in what he’s saying, but listening to Steve talk at length is tedious. The Internet is doing its Internet thing when people get too big and make a mistake, but there’s no way people are tuning into Gamer’s Nexus for entertainment.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills and I have the hottest take on the planet, but I really don’t think this is as huge a scandal as everyone wants to make it, and Steve’s motives / vibes are just really suspect in this whole thing.
Yeah,performance overhead aside, in Windows it reads and writes fine because of that. Anything thqt changes in Windows however will write the uid of that file as the windows SID I believe, either way I was using regularly the chown -Rf commands to reclaim files back in Linux.
It’s mostly a problem with how steam handles updates downloading to temp folders, etc… It’s the sharing of steam libraries that this happens to most often if you’re back and forth between os’s
I just have no idea what life was like in the before time. All these poor souls
