Fun true story. I tried EoP when I moved into my townhome to feed Ethernet to my TV. For like 6 months I get weird issues where my TV would stop letting me connect from my phone.

Trying to diagnose it, I started disconnecting stuff. Finally, I had a single EoP plugged into wall and nothing else. Still had Internet, WTF …

Turns out one of my neighbors also has EoP and I was connecting to his network. Crazy shit

Went to MoCA after that.

Yeah there are use cases

Yup, there is also Ethernet over coaxial cable TV.

It’s kinda niche, especially with improvements in WiFi over the years.

You can also choose NOT to have a phone at all… Or a bank account.

Just because you personally don’t find something needed doesn’t mean it’s true for others.

You heathen!

Actually I don’t care.

Businesses live and die by if it broke don’t fix it.

They’re still a non insignificant number of businesses using Cobol applications.

Linux has been becoming a “serious threat” for 20+ years now. I’ll wait.

Don’t get me wrong I like Linux a lot. But if you step back and look objectively, it has a lot of issues trying to grow outside the hobby/enthusiast community for the desktop.

Yes, and I have no idea…

Nope, but they have extremely short memories. They spent 2 hours yesterday tinkering with 4 issues. But when you ask them, their system has been solid for months.

Linux is very much a boat. Or more accurately the same engine used in 50 different boats all with their own quirks.

TBF you film anyone long enough you’re going to capture some strange expressions.

YES! I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT GAME!!!

They’re so motivated, they find problems that don’t exist!

Delayed because of your ad-blocker :p

What’s the point? no one is brute forcing a 12-15 password if the login system has ANY login attempt protection anyway.

This seems like one of the extreme overkill things…

Hmm, bazzite is being “advertised” as being specifically for gaming and newcomers. With included drivers and “tweaks” to improve gaming. And the reviews I found said the same thing…

I was able to get it working by installing it in my home directory.

That makes sense, I was able to get the mods installed!

I actaully installed it.

AFAIK You can’t “run” battlenet though lutris, it needs installed for mods at least.

The “data” partition turned to actually be a windows partition, there isn’t any indication that isn’t paart of Linux that I could.

I was able to create a “games” folder under my user’s “home” folder and install battlenet (and Wow) there, So I hoping I can then copy my mods over.

To be continued…

thanks for your help

I have no idea, like any noob user I let it use the defaults, assuming they would work.

So how do I fix it. Do I need to resintall WoW and specifically choose the Data partition it created during the linux install?

This describes many Linux software suites…

Most of the people devoting time to foss projects are uber technical geeks that at best consider UX design an after thought if they consider it at all.

TBH it’s probably one of the biggest things holding Linux back today.
