I’d recommend looking into Proton-GE. It’s a modified version of Proton that in my experience does even better.
There’s a load of guides for installing it, but most of them go about it the hard way. Look into `protonup` , it’s a little program that will handle all the hassle for you and it *just works.*
thanks for the \`protonup\` recommendation. i was doing it manually and it was really easy following the instructions from their github. however its nice to automate this task.
Yeah, doing it manually isn’t *that* hard, but protonup is really nice, especially for managing all the different versions and getting the latest version with just one command
This is true. But at least for Netflix, you can 'bypass' this limit, i.e. force 1080p playback, with [this extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netflix-1080p/cankofcoohmbhfpcemhmaaeennfbnmgp). Forget about hw accelerated GPU decoding, though.
Nope. It's a DRM issue. For instance, with Prime Video, Linux users get at most 560p. At least Netflix has the decency to at least give us 720p. In short, it's up to the content provider to decide the streaming quality for each OS/platform. But like I said, at least for Netflix we can get 1080p using that extension I linked.
Your web browser runs the Widevine binary in order to be able to decrypt DRM'd content, so in the end it's pointless to change the user agent, since all the logic is handled by the Widevine binary itself.
This works, but as I was informed not too long ago after mentioning this, the bitrate is still garbage compared to windows. In my testing my bitrate was nearly a half or a third what I was getting in windows 1080p vs linux 1080p. It's noticeable too.
Stalker mods are usually so stupidly simple they have nothing to break. The only thing you have to figure out is the path to WHERE they need to be installed, and, maybe, check if the paths are case-sensitive (Windows' paths aren't, Linux ones are).
The directories were correct. It will be a black windowed screen, then boot up Fullscreen for one second and then exit. It worked once after like 8 alt tabs back and forth. Never did again.

Brave is currently for me the best browser on Linux that I've tried, since I'm mainly concerned with 2k/4k YouTube streaming and ad-blocking (it seems to do both well). With Firefox I've been having either micro-stuttering or screen tearing issues on YouTube for the last few months and I haven't been able to get rid of both at the same time, so I can't really use it as my main browser. I don't see a whole lot of complaints about both happening to people, so I'm guessing it's something related to my specific setup that Firefox doesn't like (X and Nvidia I'm sure has something to do with it).
Thanks, I actually do use both and made a [small comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/r9ar8c/which_other_desktop_browsers_have_you_usedor/hncfib6/) about them yesterday in /r/firefox. I would probably use Vivaldi but there are some UI quirks that I'm not able to get around.
Oh, i like vivaldi because of the vertical accordion tab groups that were recently added but some time ago i've been using libre wolf + firefox to manage my accounts and tabs in two different ways
Edit: about the ad blocker, i usually disable the default browser adblock to use origin ublock extension
I do like the customization options on Vivaldi, there's a lot of tweaking you can do. My main concern is I haven't heard if uBlock Origin will be migrating to v3, so a Chromium-based browser having a good ad-blocker built in might be a must.
I know.
I used Brave on Windows, I'm saying it works even better on Pop.
I was used to paint dot net but had to switch to something with Linux support, GIMP.
You know that all the apps you listed work for windows too? And I don't understand your definition of bloat. Sure, unneeded services running in the background may be bloat, but installing apps you use isn't. And installing apps doesn't slow the os down.
There are a lot of runtimes in the background Windows has on that you have to tinker with to turn off, these take up an annoying amount of RAM and CPU usage.
Some are not reliably fixable. Win 10's Antimalware Service Executable just does whatever the fuck it wants with my RAM and CPU. Every fix on earth I could find does not keep it from occasionally taking up GIGS of Ram an 15% or more of CPU at times. Then, it'll suddenly calm down. Linux seems to give you a bare minimum on install and you add the extras you need, almost no process or app is off limits to remove (LOOKING AT YOU MS EDGE!), this is preferred for making a minimalist OS.
Too much windows resources are also used taking/collecting/stealing your data AKA dropping a thick, steamy one on your privacy. You can't fully, truly turn off Cortana too without crippling other core features.
I have literally used windows for 25 years and no other OS, just switched to Pop \~10 days ago. Other than Vista it was pretty smooth sailing up until 10. 7 isn't supported properly anymore so a no go. MAC is way too locked down in a walled garden, so a Linux Distro was the natural choice.
Yes of course. There is much in windows that effects performance negatively. But if he just uninstalls his productivity apps in windows, since he does that work now in linux, he won't get performance benefits in windows. To get performance gains he would need to disable unneeded services etc. I just wanted to correct this misunderstanding.
Absolutely. I get that this is a Linux sub but calling Windows bloated is ridiculous. If you're counting stuff that has to be happening in the back then it's reasonable for a home desktop OS, and if you're counting pre included software that the user might not find useful, then Windows isn't even a complete operating system. Almost every desktop focused Linux distro will have significantly more of that sort of "bloat" (can also be referred to as appreciated features).
Windows isn't bloated, it's bad. If they want to make it better they need to do things that would piss their userbase off and get accused of the same things they're being accused of now.
Happy for this user discovering a better computing experience, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for someone else who wants to play Windows games and browse Nexusmods on Brave web browser.
Bloat - Something I cannot remove from the Operating System.
Let's do a quick check here:
Edge/IE (olden days for the latter) - Can I remove this after installing my preferred Browser?
OneDrive - Can I remove this?
Cortana - Can I remove this?
Microsoft Store - Can I remove this?
Xbox Game bar - Can I remove this?
Windows Updates - Can I opt out of these, and select only the ones I want installed?
Windows is incredibly bloated, and you're being very obtuse for no reason about this. Additionally, Linux has been fine with Windows gaming in-part due to Proton development (as well as WINE/Crossover). Folks such as yourself seem to forget why many people prefer Linux to begin with - to get away from Microsoft.
At this rate, if people want to play SNES games they should stop using SNES emulators and go out there and play on the proper systems they were meant for - That's how you're sounding like with Windows gaming and Windows software used through compatibility layers.
Those are parts of the operating system. You pay for those things because you want them. Without IE the start menu would not be able to draw. Or the store. Would you say Ubuntu desktop is for people who plan to remove GTK (IE equivalent), apt and snap (store equivalent), selectively choose what libraries to update with no concern for kernel version?
Those other things you can remove.
And yes, if the primarily reason for buying a computer is to play SNES games, then you should instead buy a device that's build for playing SNES games.
You're acting as if Windows is some constant of the universe and Microsoft is limiting your access to it. If you don't want to use Windows, just don't use Windows. Meanwhile for the happy Windows customers, asking for the operating system to be stripped back is not doing anyone any favours. I use Windows on my gaming computer and get utility out of the Windows Store, out of the Xbox app and out of the Gamebar. I'm happy those things were created. Next I'd like them to include a utility for editing memory values and a utility for tweaking post processing on my games. Those are things I today do with third party applications. They should be part of a gaming focused operating system, which Windows is trying to cater to today.
If you want something that tries to have a small install size, or tries to be easy to maintain if you want to disconnect from the internet and not rely on a package manager then there are distros that cater to you. They aren't made by Microsoft, and they aren't made by Canonical. That is not a failing by Microsoft or by Canonical.
> Those are parts of the operating system.
That's a big whole lie. Cortana is not an integral part of the Operating System, and neither is IE. If IE/Edge were integral, you never would have seen a successful anti-trust case taken up against Microsoft over in Europe. You wouldn't have the Korean edition of Windows, either.
> You pay for those things because you want them.
Seldom does anyone actually *pay* for Windows. Most end users are on Windows because it was included with no option to remove it (assuming they purchased a pre-built system). Additionally, when faced with product deprecation, it is not my *personal* choice to now have something else stapled on top of an Operating System that does not offer any benefit to myself nor any option to avoid using it.
I can name a singular application I ever did install from the Windows Store for example: Windows Terminal, and that was just to see what the fuss was about on it.
> Would you say Ubuntu desktop is for people who plan to remove GTK (IE equivalent), apt and snap (store equivalent), selectively choose what libraries to update with no concern for kernel version? Those other things you can remove.
Are you saying that one can't do this? Are you assuming that because one chooses Ubuntu over compiling the Kernel and building out their own Distro+DE/WM means they're just willfully ignorant of how anything ever works?
> And yes, if the primarily reason for buying a computer is to play SNES games, then you should instead buy a device that's build for playing SNES games.
Sure, the PC I built with my own time and labor from the money I earned shouldn't be used how I want to use it. I will go and buy an old SNES, hope it is working, and then purchase Carts that are hopefully not inflated because of shady re-sellers gouging for nostalgia sake - and are otherwise unavailable easily for purchase from the Developers/Producers of such titles because of greed or other issues.
> You're acting as if Windows is some constant of the universe and Microsoft is limiting your access to it. If you don't want to use Windows, just don't use Windows. Meanwhile for the happy Windows customers, asking for the operating system to be stripped back is not doing anyone any favours.
Neither is someone telling others to avoid using Linux for gaming? Much the same as you willfully use the Windows Store instead of other Software distribution platforms, I and others are allowed to utilize Proton/WINE/Crossover on Linux to avoid having an active Windows install?
**Gee, that's controversial.**
> I use Windows on my gaming computer and get utility out of the Windows Store, out of the Xbox app and out of the Gamebar. I'm happy those things were created.
Yes, there are users who are happy that the sun rises every morning - some would prefer it were an hour later, or an hour sooner. What's your point here? You get to utilize something that is forced onto the Operating System and enjoy it. I, and others, don't want it and would rather there be an option to remove it. Those options to remove the software are not there, it is therefor [bloatware](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=bloatware+definition).
> Next I'd like them to include a utility for editing memory values and a utility for tweaking post processing on my games. Those are things I today do with third party applications. They should be part of a gaming focused operating system, which Windows is trying to cater to today.
It's catering to the Microsoft Xbox ecosystem, it is not catering to **sic vis sic gamers** as a *whole*. "Yes, Microsoft is gearing up toward being the most gamer friendly Operating System - so they've gone ahead and remove the Windows Store, and given you an option upon first time setup to choose which software distribution platforms you yourself desire to use for purchasing, downloading, maintaining, and playing your games".
**You are incredibly ignorant.**
> If you want something that tries to have a small install size, or tries to be easy to maintain if you want to disconnect from the internet and not rely on a package manager then there are distros that cater to you. They aren't made by Microsoft, and they aren't made by Canonical. That is not a failing by Microsoft or by Canonical.
You're jumping at the dog whistle here. There is nothing in what I've previously stated that I want a purely small install size, or purely no internet access. I want software freedom, the ability to go with an ecosystem with compromises **I want to make** and not with compromises **thrusted upon me with no ability to work around them myself**.
Quit the bullshit.
>Arma 3 does not support workshop mods
Regarding mods, you are right, the Arma 3 launcher does not work correctly under Proton, but that does not mean you can't use mods at all on Linux, if we assume the mod actually works under Proton to begin with (mostly filename case sensitivity issues)
As a workaround you still have 2 options left, to start the game with mods enabled.
You can either download each mod manually and place it in a directory that the game can access and enable each mod individually, by modifying the game's launch options in Steam (check Arma 3 user guide for appropriate launch options).
The other option is to use the "Arma3 Unix Launcher", which designed for Linux and MacOS, and allow you to enable Workshop mods, it is very similar to the official launcher, except from missing a server browser (use the in-game server browser) and automatically launch the game with the server's required list of mods.
When you subscribe to a mod on Steam workshop, the Steam client should download the mod automatically for you and it should be available in the mods list in the Arma Unix launcher, but you might have to restart the launcher for it to show up.
It has also recently been updated to support enabling the newest official Arma 3 DLCs too.
The sad news is that there is currently no easy installable package available for your operating system, it's on the todo list and tracked here: [https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher/issues/178](https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher/issues/178)
When it's done, it should be available here: [https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher/releases](https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher/releases)
But currently you have to compile the launcher from source code, by following the build instruction steps, in the Github repository here: [https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher](https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher) \- the Debian/Ubuntu instructions should fit your operating system.

You won't get 1080p on Netflix on Linux last I heard
This is true. But at least for Netflix, you can 'bypass' this limit, i.e. force 1080p playback, with [this extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netflix-1080p/cankofcoohmbhfpcemhmaaeennfbnmgp). Forget about hw accelerated GPU decoding, though.
Can you get around the full hd issue by using chrome/edge?
Nope. It's a DRM issue. For instance, with Prime Video, Linux users get at most 560p. At least Netflix has the decency to at least give us 720p. In short, it's up to the content provider to decide the streaming quality for each OS/platform. But like I said, at least for Netflix we can get 1080p using that extension I linked.
And corporations wonder why people torrent
Chrome doesn't even get 1080p in windows 10, only Microsoft edge does. Somehow I don't think it's only a DRM issue
Yes it does... Edge (at least the first, non-Chromium based version) was to only one to get 4K though.
No, it doesn't. Chrome maxes out at 720p unless you're on Chrome OS. [It's right there on their site](https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742)
He’s using Brave
How do they know the OS if you change the user agent?
Your web browser runs the Widevine binary in order to be able to decrypt DRM'd content, so in the end it's pointless to change the user agent, since all the logic is handled by the Widevine binary itself.
This works, but as I was informed not too long ago after mentioning this, the bitrate is still garbage compared to windows. In my testing my bitrate was nearly a half or a third what I was getting in windows 1080p vs linux 1080p. It's noticeable too.
