This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn't install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I'm new to Linux so I don't know much and I had been distro hopping).
My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.
I heard her tell my wife "wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it's so impressive that he can read code like that I didn't know he could do that"
All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro...
Terminal = hacker
Why couldn't you?
If you have the gog version it's not particularly user friendly to get those up and running if you're a new Linux user
Can't you just install it in bottles?
I'm sure you can, but not really my point. Linux gaming outside of steam is horrifying and trying to install anything as a new user is bloody impossible.
You can just point to it in lutris an choose wine ge and it just works for me
Just use heroic
😂
Here's the thing - you were learning some valuable troubleshooting skills and some details about the workings of your operating system. The reward was playing a game.
One day you'll realize you've passively developed enough skill to use on the job.
