what's your usual home OS stack?
@velartrill *psst, I heard that guy dual boots because he's a noob. His "daily driver" is Arch, but he also has a secret Ubuntu partition for when he needs to get work done. How embarrassing!

@parusmajor @velartrill i have a windows installed to a seperate hdd in my desktop for games. i have no inclination to fuck around with proprietary shit requiring loader shenanigans if i just want to play something.

@bonifartius @velartrill Don't take what I say too seriously. I was mostly just poking fun at Arch users.

If I was big into gaming I'd probably dual-boot too, but the little gaming that I do works fine under proton so I don't need to.

@parusmajor
never tried proton.. i just want to keep all that shit out of my linux install xD

i love it when engines are getting open sourced and they can be built from source or if there are reverse engineered ones, that's a whole different story.

@velartrill

@bonifartius @parusmajor luckily the only games i've felt like playing lately have been open source ones, Beyond All Reason and Endless Sky (a spiritual sequel to the old palmos Space Trader).

working on an engine for a game of own rn, hoping to rope my partner in eventually to work on it too
@bonifartius @velartrill Yeah, I can see the merit to keeping all the proprietary spyware on 1 partition that you know us pozzed. But in my case a full windows install on a dedicated partition just so I can play AoE2 once every 3 months feels a little overkill.

@parusmajor yeah that's probably unnecessary :)
the modern stuff with anti cheat stuff is something i don't want near my data though.. there was something about EAC on linux, who wants that shit xD
