Can’t wait to graduate so I don’t have to run Respondus and keep dealing with this crap

    Normal users are not going to root around in the registry and twiddle things to mske the OS treat them with respect.

    I absolutely agree with you, and this statement is absurd, given the context.

    Recently I decided to try out gaming with linux. What was planned to be a weekend project turned into multiweek project, and it included a lot of “rooting around” to get things working the way I wanted them to. Maybe it’s linux treating me with respect, when I have to start planning for hibernation when I’m partitioning the drive. Maybe it isn’t.

    (Aside, Valve has done great work with proton. It’s time to reconsider, if games are keeping you from switching over.)

      What distribution did you try to use? Some of them are steeper to learn than others.

        For background, my first linux was debian in late 90’s. I went through gentoo to ubuntu, until I got mac for work about a decade ago. By then my home rig was single booting windows.

        So, given my history with debian, I started with ubuntu, only to realize I don’t like its current state. Next up was pop_os, because it’s heavily recommended for gaming. After some time I came to conclusion, that everything I know about linux on desktop is badly outdated, so I might as well go heavy and try arch. I chickened out, though, and went with manjaro. It’s actually quite nice, save for that hibernation.

          Doesn’t sound like it. Just because it installed correctly doesn’t mean its well functioning, compliant standard, and able to function both performant and with stability. Also what does drive partitioning have to do with sleep/hibernation?

            Performance and stability seems to be at the same level it was under windows 10/11. Can’t say nothing about standard compliance, nor do I really care in the end.

            I’m kinda sure I wasn’t missing functionality, either. Then again, my card is old GTX, so DLSS not working is not because of drivers.
