I don't see them claiming it is

The aggregate info is public, but valve can tie it to individual users.

This has absolutely never been my experience. Many people actually say Wine is a better choice for running legacy windows games and applications.

I dislike Windows as much as the next guy, and recognize this is just a rant. However:

  1. Might be more HP's fault than Windows
  2. Might be mire Zoom's fault than Windows (though Windows audio is a gongshow)
  3. Just use OpenSSH from Command Prompt or Powershell. It should be preinstalled I think but if not can be installed through Programs and Features) in Windows 10 and above.

Installing is just following directions. It's maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with

You might want to look at just how fast RAM is

...Is this supposed to be a play on the title? IE: The fix is low quality?

there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver

I mean, there is. It just isn't recommended for most users.

FYI: If you aren't aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn't personally recommend it.

EAC Seems broken on Arch? (lemmy.simpl.website)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I recently installed BattleBit Remastered on Steam (uses EAC). Upon trying to run the game, I only get as far as a screen telling me to ensure EAC is installed. I tried their "repair EAC" option in steam, and there was no change (a terminal opens, blinks, and closes again). I tried a system update to see if that would help, but no dice.

Now, when I try to launch Apex Legends (a game which I play all the time), I see EAC loading extremely slowly, then it goes away, but the game never launches (though Steam still shows the title as running).

Is anyone else having issues right now (with an up to date system)? Has anyone else experienced this before?

Edit: Decided to format my OS drive and move to Fedora. Using the same steam library, both games are now working. Clearly some package ended up misconfigured, but I have no idea what or why.
