I usually check the proton DB website, to read the comments and see what people do to fix games and software.

Just recently I used it to get old CAD software to run, had to lower the proton version to 6 or something and it worked.

I moved out of that mess. lol just bought land in another state.

I did do custom firmware for the internal drive for 4k ripping, but didn’t find the right firmware for the external ones (years ago). Maybe I can find it again once we unpack our storage. We are moving to another state now. Thanks for the info!

That’s awesome you have a server for ripping. I made a dedicated machine using my old desktop.

Ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, 12 dvd / Blu-ray drives (one drive does 4k Blu-ray’s) and 2 more usb Blu-ray drives on top.

I ripped so many thousands of DVDs that my neighbor gave me after he passed away.

I’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.

Networking, 3D printer, black and white laser printer and a color laser printer, several servers.

I had home assistant, Plex, Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, and many other services.

Servers are Ryzen 5950x and the other is a threadripper 24 core.

The other side of the rack was HDMI switchers and some game consoles.

Going to miss the 1gbps fiber internet, we now have Starlink.

I remember as a kid, I met these other kids that would drink from the side of the street. That sewer water was full of nasty including gas and oil runoff from the roads and who knows what else.

I also had an ex that would drink the chemicals under the sink as a tiny kid.

I used a spreadsheet and labeled each box AA, AB, AC… BA, BB, BC… FA, FB, etc. it’s 2 digit codes for each box.

I then took pictures of every box as I’m filling them, and make a list of all contents in the spreadsheet.

In the end we have way too many boxes! Yikes. lol Maybe I should have gotten rid of more stuff.

I use several of the suggestions above, but also for IOS (iPhone) I use “Firefox Focus” and it clears everything when I close it and I can watch ad free.

Back when I was on windows I would rename .webp to .jpg (or was it .png, it’s been a long time) and it would open. Now I’m on Linux and it just works.

I have been able to play most games fine on Linux mint.

If he plays Minecraft bedrock he can use “Minecraft bedrock launcher” which loads the android version (if you own it on the play store). Minecraft Java works find on Linux, but I prefer bedrock to use a controller.

Some PC games I play in “bottles” which lets you run windows programs.

I also have “heroic games launcher” that lets me play epic games, gog games and Amazon games.

I usually see people mount it on a vice and use a string from a distance away, plus behind blast shields.

I remember when I setup my Wordpress website years ago I had permission errors, so the Wordpress install needed read/write access to the website directory. Maybe the same in your case?

The only AAA game I WAS interested in was GTA6, but after that they just did to GTA5 I’m not interested anymore. I use Linux and they just added anti-cheat that is compatible with Linux but never enabled compatibility. They don’t want me to buy their game.

Nice, thanks!

That’s cool to know, but is there also a mod to use a controller? That’s what keeps me in bedrock (currently playing android bedrock version on Linux).

I’m in the middle of moving so all my VR stuff is packed in storage. Sadly, I may never get to try it.

I just mark them all as spam, now I get way less of them.

I get that way sometimes in Minecraft, when I’m under ground exploring then I get lost and feel trapped. After I get back out I then wonder why I left lol

I run mint on a ideapad flex and it’s been great. Touch screen works, speakers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, gaming, etc all good. I got the laptop cheap with a broken screen, I replaced the screen and added a bigger NVMe and it’s been great.
